Webb's lecture will be at 3 p.m. on April 26 at the History Center in Fort Wayne. This program, included as part of the American Experience series, documents the Native American story in North America, and argues that Native American history should be seen as an essential part of American history.

Webb received a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in the field of Early American History. He has contributed to numerous encyclopedia and reference works and presented work at professional meetings worldwide, most recently in Moscow, Beijing and Bermuda. He also has published several books in the "Complete Idiot's Guide" series as well as an introduction to the recent Barnes & Noble reprint of Winston Churchill's "History of the English Speaking People." He lives in Huntington with his wife, Jill, and two sons, Christian and Aaron.
