In this episode of the Bookworm, past Clements fellow M. Scott Heerman discusses the research behind his book The Alchemy of Slavery: Human Bondage and Emancipation in the Illinois Country, 1730-1865. Books and resources discussed in the program are listed at: https://conta.cc/2BghC7n.

The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists and featured guests discuss history topics. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table.
