In To The Wild

This week we talk about the dangers and the "Critters" of the great outdoors. You may be swinging a coil, hiking, camping, boating or what ever you do outdoors and rest assured if you do it often enough you will have a chance encounter with one of the rascals we mention here. But hey, running from bee's, dancing with ants and wrestling bears is considered exercise, so that is a plus. We'll let you know what to do, well maybe just a story, when these "surprises" happens to you. You may even live to tell the story....we did.

Once again, thank you for listening. We love the feedback we're getting so keep them coming. Don't miss this Saturdays show - we have Peter Limburg on and we will be discussing the fate of the Donner Party. Adventure in the High Serria's - from top of the world to the lowest parts of the underworld, decisions you only hope you'll never be faced with.

Please pass the show around, burn it to a CD, put it on a Thumb Drive, download it to an MP3 player, send a link...anyway you can share it, do. Remember it "Our History" and it is meant to be shared.

Have a great week and I'll see ya Saturday,

Craig

Join us today as Butch and I touch on the Legends and Forefathers of the Collecting and Digging World. We highlight three of the greatest and most renowned Historians and Artifact Collectors that started the hobby of not only referencing, documenting and preserving relics, they were the first folks in the field out there actively digging, buying and collecting. Stop by and give it a listen and we’ll show you you can have fun and be serious almost in the same breath.

Saturday on Our History Project we will have Author Donald Jermann to discuss his book “Antietam The Lost Order”. We will be talking about Order 191 and the impact it did have and the impact it could have had. Talk about mysteries and conspiracy theories – this event in history left enough for both.

OHP - Rednecks and Hillbillies the True Story

It’s a Revolution and we are not talking about the Beetles! This past weekend I went on vacation and got to explore the Battlefields of Kings Mountain and Cowpens and get back to the part of history that I am not so well versed in. I learned a lot and the learning did not stop when I got home. Butch knowing that I was off to seek adventure in the 1700’s pulled out a story for my return.


In our "In the Dirt with American Digger" segmet this week we learned:


The origins of the Hillbillies and/or Rednecks may not be what you expect. Join us and hear the true story. Also, you can take the Tours of the battlefields with me as I post the shots I took while on the road. I will post them on our Forum: http://ourhistoryproject.lefora.com/forum/
