Red Dead Redemption 2.

A university class using Red Dead Redemption 2 to learn about American history recently got a visit from two very familiar cowboys.

Tore Olsson, a history professor at the University of Tennessee, teaches a class titled "Red Dead America," which uses Red Dead Redemption and its sequel as a method for exploring American history between 1899 and 1911. Unbeknownst to the class, Olsson invited Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark, and Rob Wiethoff, who plays John Marston, along as a special surprise for the final lesson before spring break.
