White Oak Civil War Museum
This historic travel presentation of OHP has been requested for a long time now. Every time we bring up The White Oak Civil War Museum on the Relic Roundup it is always: “You got to go!”, “It’s unbelievable!”, or a number of other comments but always ending with an exclamation mark. Our guest is D.P. Newton.
Description from : http://www.virginia.org/site/description.asp?attrid=11405
White Oak Museum houses an extensive collection of Civil War artifacts, representing both Union and Confederate troops. Most items were discarded or lost by troops camping or fighting in the Stafford County and Fredericksburg areas. Displays will amaze the novice as well as the serious Civil War Buff - including replicas of soldier huts that were used as temporary housing during the winter months. Many Civil War soldiers died of wounds and disease. To give proper remembrance to these brave soldiers, White Oak Museum exhibits both military and personal items to honor the soliders, from private to general, who suffered both in battle and behind the front lines.
"(Photo of (L-R) (see main site http://www.ourhistoryproject.com) Matt Jennings, Maverick Jennings, and DP Newton looking over a find by young Maverick. The article, Uncle Matt and Maverick, will be in the January 2011 issue of American Digger Magazine (Vol 7, Issue 1)."

David Sears - Such Men as These
Our Guest this week is David Sears. We discuss his new book “Men Such as These”.
In 1951, James Michener went to Korea to report on a little known aspect of America’s stalemated war: navy aviators. His research inspired novel about these pilots became an overnight bestseller and, perhaps, the most widely read book ever written about aerial combat.
Using Michener’s notes, author David Sears tracked down the actual pilots to tell their riveting, true-life stories. From the icy, windswept decks of aircraft carriers, they penetrated treacherous mountain terrain to strike heavily defended dams, bridges, and tunnels, where well entrenched Communist anti-aircraft gunners waited to shoot them down. Many of these men became air combat legends, and one, Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon.
Such Men As These brims with action-packed accounts of combat and unforgettable portraits of the pilots whose skill and sacrifice made epic history.
Next Week
We will have on Tom Craughwell and we will discuss 2 of the 28 hardest Presidential demissions that faced this country. Folks, I have to tell you that I had a great time on this interview and Tom is someone will will most defiantly have back on. Don't miss this show.
Also
We have expanded our Membership, Sponsorship and Supporter section. Be sure to have a look at the new dollar amounts and what is offered. One huge change is that we are offering a group rate that will not go primarily to OHP but to other groups around the country to help with funding and projects on the local level.
Embracing History Magazine is being put together as we speak. We have gotten a lot of great stories so far and I have written a couple myself. The deadline for the first issue is September 1, 2010. So get those stories in!
Relic Roundup
We did get a response from the Texas Board of Education and at least one member has agreed to join us. The date of that is still to be determined but we will keep you up to date.
If you have not kept up with the news, Texas hit the National Press last month over its decisions to revamp the states curriculum and textbooks. I had read numerous articles and watch over 20 news shows and was surprised that almost none covered the story in full. It turned out to be all slants with no answers. We will have the story here LIVE. Stay Tuned!

OHP Radio presents John Ledyard - History Podcast
OHP Radio presents John Ledyard - an Audio Book Presentation
He was 10 feet tall, could run faster, walk further, swim deeper, climb higher than any man alive now or has ever been. He sailed the seven seas, explored unknown regions, walked across most of the world and met the famous and native alike. A pre-curser and idol to Lewis and Clark, a native of Connecticut and probably the most fearless explorer of all time - John Ledyard.
In the next couple of weeks we will explore John Ledyard through an 1828 book by Jared Sparks. The book is biographical sketch on John Ledyard drawing from his journals and letters. This is a one and only production of its kind, brought to you by Our History Project Productions
This episode:
The Preface and Chapter One: We learn about John beginnings, his home and family. We also look in to the spirit of knowledge, comedy, and bizarre acts that made this man who he was and where he started. This is a character I have wanted to something on and when I found a copy of the book I could not resist. I am no professional reader by any means, but I wanted to try something new here at OHP a chance for you to learn along with me. What you hear, is as far as I go in any given week. Leaving the week to google the people that surrounds John and to explore his life as I go.

OHP Radio - Finding Slavery
Today Butch and I take a look into Slavery, its trade, its past and some items that part of our dark history left behind. You may be thinking that the advent of slavery started when the white man first set foot on North American soil but we take a deeper look into the topic. In this country the focus will always be on the Enslaved Africans and rightly so and Our History Project is proud to engage in the topics of our history and our future. This may seem like a depressing topic but as always we make history fun. So, sit back, relax and join us as we introduce another “In the Dirt with American Digger” sement.
Have a great week,
Craig

OHP RADIO - Captain Dale Dye
We are joined by Captain Dale Dye (USMC Ret.). If you do not recognize the name I’m sure you will know the movies – Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Band of Brothers are just to name a few. Dale Dye is an actor, director, advisor and so much more. We credit him with bringing the real story to Hollywood and putting the realism into the movies we see. Capt. Dye is the real deal – 3 Purple Hearts, Bronze Star and several other medals of distinction. If anyone knows what it should be, he is one that can tell you from firsthand experience.
Also, starting this week you can purchase HQ copies of the show. The cost is $5 per CD. A $2 shipping charge will apply but only to one of them - so you can order 50 copies and still only be $2 shipping. AND, YES - IT'S TAX DEDUCTABLE!
All shows will still remain free online (no change there). All the shows we post are recorded at 48 bits and these CD's will be at 192 bit, Just a cleaner sound. The difference is also the size. We try and keep the downloads under 30MB in size while the CDs do not limit the size for audio.
We are just thinking of ways that we can provide a product at a low cost to you to help fund our Nonprofit Mission. We will be building our past shows so if you want a specific one let me know and I'l work on those first.
Any questions drop me an email at craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com
