The History Department will host guest speaker Dr. Ernest Freeberg, department head at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, on April 20th at 12:00 P.M. in Schultz East Alcove. The talk is titled "America's First Energy Crisis - The Great Horse Flu of 1872" Attached is a flyer that provides more detail on Dr. Freeberg's talk as well as all of the general information. It should prove to be a very interesting and engaging event.
