Episode description
Costumed interpretation, or living history, or reenacting, is a fascinating practice in which historical dress, tools and props are used to present and educate about the past. We discuss the particular American brand of living history, as chronicled in Tony Horwitz' enduring classic, Confederates in the Attic.
