Historian Guy Beiner is interested in how folk memory of events differs from the historical record. His most recent book is called "Remembering the Year of the French: Irish Folk History and Social Memory." He talks with Steve Paulson about how the French invasion of Ireland in 1789 is still regarded as of earth-shattering importance in some towns in Western Ireland.
