"A Hell of a Storm" Book Talk

Seward House Museum

Join historian David Brown for a discussion on his latest book, "A Hell of a Storm."

NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center & Auburn NY Visitor Center

While the history of the United States is marked by chapters of polarization, few political moments have ever proved as divisive as the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. In the words of historian David Brown, it was "the most lethal piece of legislation ever to clear Congress" and it spurred radical thoughts of disunion, a "mini-civil war." Brown places William Seward at the center of this story in this discussion of his new book, A Hell of a Storm.
