American Pickers - Civil War Finds
American Pickers – Hey everyone I just got off the phone with the rep from American pickers. They had sent an request to find people and items (Civil War related for the show). This is legitimate and also not a normal show. Fair market value will be paid for items and those items purchased will go in “display” not hidden away in a museum chosen by the history channel. They are looking for individuals not dealers. We have offered to have them on the show to explain more. If you are interested contact me at craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com and I will get you in touch with the right people.

Birge and Wilder - Units and Weapons
Friend, Historian and Guest Host John Walsh brings us the story of "Birge's Western Sharpshooters". The Dimick Rifle was a true piece of enginering for the time. John also talks about Bob Becker's display on "Wilders Brigade", and as a bonus interviews Harvey Cash the origanal person to collect all these items.
I want to thank John for the willingness to always jump in and lend a hand. He is a true student of history and is not scared to be thrown in almost any situation at a moments notice. He does so much for Our History Project I could not begin to list it here. Visit his site http://www.fortdonelsonrelics.com/ to learn more.

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,

Our History Project Board Meeting and the Future
I have plenty of shows to put up, however I wanted this week’s focus to on our board meeting held on Monday, November 9th, 2009. I invite you to listen, give input and offer guidance as we go into this next year. We have accomplished so much in the short time we have been here and where we go from here either has a finite stopping point or will be an unbelievable adventure.
Cassie and I personally are going to step back this week to reflect on the past seven months and get a game plan together for the next physical year which is coming on fast. We have hit a home run on the entertainment side with our shows. That we can see from our numbers and even on 1000mikes.com in just being there 4 short weeks we now hold #3 in the top shows on that site. That says a lot. We have a lot of listeners, made some great friends and for that we are successful.
The other side is the financial part and the funds that will take us to that next level and further our vision and enhance our mission. On that we have had almost no support at all. A few great people have came forward and for that I am grateful, your funds, time resources and gifts have gone to a great cause and every penny was pinched to make it go that much further. Thank you.
Is this project going away? No. There will be some changes coming with a focus on what and how we can remain funded to further our mission and vision. For that I am excited because what it says is that we have put together a winning product and idea. It is like now is the time to get started.
Again, I invite you to listen, give feedback and support. Everyone has heard the JFK speech “Ask not what your country can do for you …”, but few remember the 6th paragraph in that same speech “..United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds or split asunder.”
We are at a crossroads and we want to refocus and put forth our best. Anything less would be an insult to us and to you. It is our contention to focus our time, energy, talents and funds where we can do the most good as it relates to our non-profit venture.
We want your input, that’s why we did this as a non-profit in the first place. The history is ours - The memory is ours - and The future is ours.

OHP Radio - The Bell Witch with Pat Fitzhugh
Folks today we head to the Spooky Side of History. We go in search of the Southern myth and legend of the “Bell Witch” with Author and Historian Pat Fitzhugh. This is one of the most documented haunts in American History, and for good reason. It will not only send some chills down your spine but is also a fantastic story. We invite you to read more about Pat Fitzhugh on our Authors Corner or go over and explore his site and learn more about this haunting on his site www.bellwitch.org. Pat has written some great books on the story of The Bell Witch plus a brand new one “Ghostly Cries from Dixie”, which is sure to be a hit. He tells us one of the stories at the beginning of the show and I throw in a small teaser story at the end. What a way to spend the night!
After listening to our show head over to www.spookysouthcoast.com where my good friends will be telling ghost stories from 10PM-Midnight and you can listen live. So, listen to the Story of the Bell Witch, go grab the candy and sit back and listen to more stories Tim Weisberg, Matt Moniz and Matt Costa while getting ready for bed.
Happy Halloween!

OHP Radio In The Dirt Halloween Special
Today Butch brings us some strange but true stories from the field. A hair-raising good time will be had by all, guaranteed.
A correction - we were talking in the show on the base minimum that OHP needs to operate I wrongly said $3000 and that would be correct with everything combined (software and equipment) doing the very least that we could do. The correct figure for hosting, websites bandwidth and storage is $1650 yearly just to maintain the space. As you can see this leaves no room for growth, projects or general operating expenses (lights, phone, rent etc.). As you can see we need your help to keep this project going. Any amount will be helpful and you can donate or sign up for a membership, supporter or sponsor on our website or just contact me craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com .
Our Grant writing will start soon so if you have experience in this process and could either volunteer to write or to review Grants that we write, please let us know. In November we will be on the 50 State National Registry which is required by most Grants.
So, keep your eyes and ears open for us on historical or art related grants.
Monday
Our Relic Round Up Show #2 was a complete success again. Thanks to all that stopped by. There was some minor problems with skype on the call-in’s but we did have a good turn out. Topics included today in history, the History Channels show Death Mask, Halloween Ledgends and more. Join us each Monday night at 10PM est. for the Live Show. Call in Number is 678-369-7943 or by skype: wesley.c.anderson.

OHP Radio - Espionage and Undercover
Espionage and Undercover
Today Butch and I take a look at the under workings of spies from the Civil War to World War II. It was not the subject planned but it took on a life of its own and we just went with it. Also find out if you have a very rare collector’s item. Find out how Parker Brothers help win WW II. Find out about Charleston’s Love-In during the 1700’s and a bunch more. History and fun is the subject for today!
We are also working on a way to have live callers for a special once or twice a month show with Butch and I . Let us know if this is something you would be interested in. - Would you call?
Don’t forget you can order your copy of the shows in higher quality than available on the web. And, by recent request we can also offer the interview section of the show only (without Cassie and I), we aim to please.
This Saturday we have guest Eric Hammel.

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

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

Our History Project – In the Dirt 07-15-09
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.
