Author John Kaminski visited block 3 APUSH on Tuesday, October 4. He was the guest speaker at the Salisbury House and Gardens as part of their History Series. Students read excerpts from his recent book The Great Virginia Triumvirate: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the Eyes of Their Contemporaries and had the opportunity to ask questions and learn the ins and outs of being a historian. A big thank you to the Salisbury House and Gardens and Leo Landis for continuing our partnership and allowing our students this great opportunity!
