Historian Edward Lengel’s new book is called This Glorious Struggle: George Washington’s Revolutionary War Letters. Lengel is the associate editor of the Papers of George Washington at the University of Virginia.

Quentin Kidd is an associate professor of political science in the Department of Government at Christopher Newport University. He joins Coy Barefoot on the February 14 edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to talk about the results of the Virginia primary.
