British historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, author of the 2006 book
"Pathfinders: A Global History of Exploration," found the streets of
downtown Atlanta much more difficult to navigate during last week's annual
convention of the American Historians Association.

Fernandez-Armesto said he was handcuffed and jailed for jaywalking across
Peachtree Center Avenue.

Police confirmed the Tufts University professor was arrested and charged
with disorderly conduct, said Officer Steve Coleman of the Atlanta Police
Department.
