ABT Time Ep 50 - Legacy of Conquest: 5 Questions for Historian Patty Limerick as her Landmark Book turns 45, asked by my brother, Eric Olson.

<p>In 1987 Patty Limerick changed “the narrative” of the American West with her landmark book, “Legacy of Conquest,” which painted a different portrait of the frontier from the traditional romantic notions of cowboys riding the range.  My brother Eric was so deeply moved by the book that I suggested he conduct this interview, structured around 5 questions that he supplements with quotes from the book.  It’s a great discussion that explores such ABT-related topics as revisionism, stereotypes, and the basic question of accuracy versus a good story.</p> <p><strong>Patty Limerick</strong><br /> Blog:  <a href= "https://www.centerwest.org/about/patty/blog-not-my-first-rodeo">https://www.centerwest.org/about/patty/blog-not-my-first-rodeo</a></p> <p><strong>Randy Olson</strong><br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ABTagenda">https://twitter.com/ABTagenda</a><br /> ​Randy's Blog: <a href= "http://scienceneedsstory.com">http://scienceneedsstory.com</a><br /> Learn more about the ABT Framework Course: <a href= "http://www.abtframework.com/">http://www.abtframework.com/</a></p>
