History Detectives
History DetectivesAmerica's favorite team of super sleuths is back for another season. Wesley Cowan, independent appraiser and auctioneer; Gwendolyn Wright, professor of architecture, Columbia University; Elyse Luray, an independent appraiser and expert in art history; and Tukufu Zuberi, professor of sociology and the director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania are once again investigating the homes, possessions and family histories of curious contributors from around the country. Using the latest investigative technology, the team of experts continues to uncover surprising facts about our nation's history.
A Texan of Cherokee descent inherits a mysterious bible from her father; a beautiful, worn banjo is purchased by a Chicago resident at an auction a few years ago; and a Californian college dean comes across a family tree, begun by a deceased aunt, which contains the words "United Empire Loyalist" scribbled alongside several names.
