Garrett Peck is an author, public historian, and tour guide in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His eighth and latest book is "A Decade of Disruption: America in the New Millennium." Peck was involved with the DC Craft Bartenders Guild in lobbying the DC City Council to have the Rickey declared Washington's native cocktail. He researched and pinpointed the site of the Washington Brewery at Navy Yard, and is particularly proud that Green Hat Gin is named after a character Peck wrote about in his book "Prohibition in Washington, D.C.": congressional bootlegger George Cassiday. He has lectured at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and the Smithsonian, and often speaks at literary clubs, historical societies, and trade associations. Peck leads history-related tours in the Washington area, including the Temperance Tour of Prohibition-related sites in the nation's capital, which has been featured on C-SPAN Book TV and the History Channel program "Ten Things You Didn't Know About" with punk rock legend Henry Rollins. He also leads the Walt Whitman Tour, WWI, Tour, Jazz History Tour, brewing tours of Alexandria and DC, and many others. Peck graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and earned a master's degree in international affairs at George Washington University.
