SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—  Mental Maps of the Founders: How Geographic Imagination Guided America's Revolutionary Leaders 
DESCRIPTION:The American founders were men of high intellect\, steely integrity\, and enormous ambition—but they were not all of one mind. They came from diverse colonies\, and they all sought their futures on different horizons. Without reliable maps of even nearby terrain\, they contributed in different\, and sometimes conflicting\, ways to the expansion of a young republic on the seaboard edge of a continent of whose vast expanses they were largely ignorant. Through an examination of six founders\, historian Michael Barone shows how their geographic orientation—their mental maps—informed their foundation and management of a financial and taxation system that enabled the new American republic’s commerce to thrive. \nRegistration is requested.
