History through biography, from Humbert X.
I have always been an anglophile and sometimes think I have a better grasp of British history than American. Lately, I have been approaching US history through biographies, and any such approach must include a biography of Andrew Jackson. I am currently listening to this one:
American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
I have also been watching and thoroughly enjoying Ken Burns' bio of Benjamin Franklin.
I missed this when it was broadcast in 2022 and am just now watching it. I thought of Spec List when the documentary got to the point where Franklin and friends founded The Leather Apron Club, also known as the Junto.
