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.

OHP Radio - Lets All Go To Gullah Gulla Island with Ron Daise

Sorry I could not resist the title and today we are joined by Ron Daise. A Gullah Historian to talk about the Gullah Language, Culture and Heritage. I really had a good time with Mr. Ron and I know you will to. We talk about a wide range of topics including the Slave Trade to Traditions to Wives Tales and so much more. We could not possibly cover all that we wanted in the one hour that we had, though we did try. For that reason I have provided you with some links to discover more.

OHP Radio - Finding the Cache

It was reported recently that a number of Canon Shells were found in the Southeaster U.S.. Some reports say that it was 40 while others say it was over 70. Either way it had to be a great historical find. While reports are still sketchy at this point is is believed that some if not all shells are to be donated to a museum, which is great because now everyone will have a chance to share in our history.

OK, now for the show. In light of this find, Butch and I put together a show which highlights more caches, meaning more than one item of the same type. Bullets, buttons, coin and maybe some gold. Come join us for the fun.

OHP Radio - Henry Kurtz - Great Locomotive Chase

Today on Our History Project our guest will be Henry Kurtz, who is the grandson of the late Historian Wilbur Kurtz. We discuss his book “The Runaway Train” which is about Andrews Raid or the commonly referred to name Great Locomotive Chase. However you say it, it is a great story in our history. What makes this book unique in its own rights is that Wilbur Kurtz married into the Fuller Family. Captain Fuller was a part of this chase and historic event. Being the Historian that Wilbur Kurtz was all the details and accounts was gotten first hand and these stories have been passed down through the family. Through Wilbur’s interviews, notes, manuscripts, writings and research this is a close to hearing the story firsthand.

OHP Radio - Eric Hammel - Where did it all come from?

The story starts: A German Officer get up from bed on the morning of June the 6th 1944 and looks out of his observation post. What he sees is an ocean filled with ships, men, aircraft and he has a feeling of dread.

The question we try and answer today is "Where did all this come from?" We explore what America did pre-war to bring about all that was seen that faithful morning. The planning, the companies, the material, the training and the foresight to bring it all together.

Bestselling Author Eric Hammel joins us again today to give insight on what this meant not only for our Troops but on the Home Front as well. To learn more about Eric Hammel and his books visit his Bio page here or visit his site Eric Hammel Books. Eric is a regular here so we have a lot of information on him, he has over 30 books to his credit with more on the way. We want to thank Mr. Eric for always being there.

OHP Board Meeting: 5:30PM - Nov.6th, 2009 Nash Farm Battlefield, Henry County GA.
