Synopsis
<i>History Detectives</i> explores the complexities of historical mysteries, searching out the facts, myths, and conundrums that connect local folklore, family legends, and interesting objects. Traditional investigative techniques, modern technologies, and plenty of legwork are the tools the <i>History Detectives</i> team of experts uses to give new — and sometimes shocking — insights into our national history. The hosts of the program are a high-energy quartet of renowned experts: Wesley Cowan, appraiser and auctioneer; Gwendolyn Wright, professor of architecture, Columbia University; Elyse Luray, appraiser and expert in art history; and Tukufu Zuberi, director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Their expertise ranges from architecture, popular culture, and sociology to archeology, collectibles, and genealogy. The hosts and crew log thousands of miles each season crisscrossing the country investigating mysteries in your backyard. History Detectives boasts a loyal and devoted audience who contribute more than 75 percent of the stories investigated. <OpenURL url="http://www.pbs.org/historydetectives">You can even submit a story now.</OpenURL>
