OUR HISTORY PROJECT - 05-02-09 - KING PHILIP'S - WAR PART 2

This week we hear part 2 of King Philip’s War with guest and Film Maker Aaron Cadieux whose is working on the Documentary “The First Patriots”. Try as we may it is going to go 1 more week and finish with part 3. We will try not to do many of these continuations often, however since more than 95% of Americans know anything of this war we thought it was important to share this story.

A couple of things to note: King Philip was not English nor was he French, he in fact was the chief of the Wampanoag Indians and this war was also referred to as Metacom's War or Metacom's Rebellion. In this episode the war begins the atrocities begin as well, so parents you may want to listen first.
This has been a fascinating series and we thank Aaron Cadieux for giving his time and knowledge to us and sharing this piece of history.

On the lighter side Butch Holcombe with American Digger Magazine stopped by for some fun and a couple of stories and Cassie had some news about some legislation being passed and a first ever for our country.

Oh, get those Titles for our segment with American Digger in. Next week we will decide on a name for it. Keep in mind we are wanting a name for the segment only, the Show already has a name “Our History Project.” If your name for the segment is chosen you will get a 1 year subscription to American Digger. Good Luck!

Our History Project - 04-25-09 - Aaron Cadieux - King Philip's War

The First Patriot - Aaron Cadieux - Big Operation Production



Film Maker and Screen Writer Aaron Cadieux (web site) bring us the first part in a riveting tale of our American beginnings. Aaron and I take you from the Pilgrims to 1675 when King Philips War begins. The bloodiest war per capita still to date. We will try our best to finish up next week. Folks, this is what Our History Project is about - Preservation and Education - and this is why we are here. I want to personally thank Aaron for his time, dedication and knowledge.

This is a war that set the precedence with the Native Americans that continued for more than 200 more years.

Visit with us, on a time in history that is mostly lost from our heritage and history books. This is a story that every American needs to know, however over 90% do not.

A complete Biography on Aaron can be found on Our History Project - Authors Corner.

American Digger Magazine

Butch Holcombe joined us again for a laugh and some knowledge. He has agreed to be here on a weekly basis with American Digger. Speaking of which, we need a title for the segment and Butch along with American Digger Magazine has offered a 1 year subscription to the magazine for the one who names the segment (listen to the show for details on this, there are a few).

New happenings for Our History Project

As the next phase of Our History Project family we bring to you the Our History Project - Authors Corner and the Our History Project - Book Review. We are in the process of completing these and they will entail more than just books. Give them a visit to find out more.
