John Buchanan graduated from St. Lawrence University (1958) magna cum laude with highest honors in history and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After teaching high school history in Newark Valley, NY, he was an archivist at Cornell University (1960-64). In 1966 he joined the staff of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1966-1993), first as Archivist of the Museum and for 22 years Chief Registrar in charge of worldwide art movements. In that capacity he traveled widely in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, the former USSR, the Middle East, India, China, Japan, and Australia. Since 1997 he has published with John Wiley & Sons three books on early American history: The Road to Valley Forge: How Washington Built the Army that Won the Revolution and The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas. Mr. Buchanan has also written short stories and a novel. John will discuss his most recent book, The Road to Charleston: Nathanael Greene and the American Revolution.
