The year was 1815. There were no satellites or telephones or even telegrams yet. There were no radios to communicate news. Nobody could send a text message or post a message on Facebook or YouTube. Still, the ENTIRE country of England knew that General Wellington was facing Napoleon in a ...read more

The Rest Of The Story Series

The short radio segments consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) held back ...read more
