"Pulitzer-prize winning writer Tony Horwitz will speak about history and remembrance and how journalism informs his approach to the past on Saturday, April 9 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Pensacola Little Theatre in downtown Pensacola, 400 South Jefferson Street. Horwitz's presentation is in conjunction with the annual meeting of the National Council on Public History. The event is free and open to the public. Conference registration is not required.

Horwitz's current book project on John Brown and his 1859 raid falls at the intersection of efforts to mark the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War and the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Horwitz is the author of several bestselling books, including Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War (1998) and A Voyage Long and Strange: On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, Lost Colonists, and Other Adventurers in Early America (2008). He worked for many years as a reporter, including a decade overseas as correspondent for The Wall Street Journal."
