Liberty Trail StoryCorps Stories: Steve Smith and John Allison

Friends and colleagues, Steve Smith, research professor with the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, and John Allison, archaeologist, speak about the importance of archaeology, the process of historical preservation, and their work on The Liberty Trail. Please note, this story contains graphic references to violence. 

This set of inspiring and commemorative conversations about the American Revolution and the founding of America is a part of The Liberty Trail. The recordings humanize the people of the past and honor their impact on our history 250 years later. The project includes people who care deeply about history, preservation and education to speak honestly about their experiences. It was produced by the American Battlefield Trust and South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust, in collaboration with StoryCorps.
