Show Notes

Asking questions that might surprise us is what we do here at the American Attic. In this episode, the Sacramento Historical Society was able to sit down with a dedicated detective of the past and professor of history at Marquette University.

Dr. Steven Avella is an author and accomplished historian whose travels include diving deep into the Vatican archives as he explore the complex collision of religion and the development of California. In this enlightening episode, this award-winning biographer provides a glimpse into his introduction to the field and his facination with the life and times of Sacramento's preminent newspaperman C.K. McClatchy.

Avella walks us through McClatchy's upbringing and contributions to the media company which bears his name and continues to win Pulitzers and accolades to this day.
