Author Talk: Jim Murphy- Real Philly History, Real Fast

In Real Philly History, Real Fast, Jim Murphy provides an original tour of the city, highlighting artistic gems such as the Dream Garden Tiffany mosaic, and profiles intriguing historical figures from military leader Commodore Barry to civil rights heroes like Lucretia Mott. Murphy also explores neighborhoods from Chinatown to the Italian Market and the unique architectural details of Carpenters' Hall and the PSFS building.
