THE BATTLE OF GUADALCANAL: HELL IN THE PACIFIC #WWII #GUADALCANAL Jul 10, 2017

Show notes

The Battle of Guadalcanal-an air, land, and sea battle fought in the Pacific between August 7th and February 9th of 1942, was the first major offensive of WWII that tested American land forces vs. the Japanaese Imperial Army. It was a hard, brutal conflict for the 15,000 US Marines and 20,000 Japanese that were sent there, fought in an unforgiving climate of hot jungle, crocodile-infested rivers, and coral ridges- all teeming with malaria-carrying mosquitos and the stench of death. The men who fought there deserve to be remembered.

URBAN LEGENDS V: FREE CABLE TV? MR. ROGERS A NAVY SEAL? & OTHER URBAN LEGENDS May 22, 2017

Show notes

Those crazy, often twisted stories you hear from your friends about things they will swear are true, plus other stuff. Our line-up: 1. Free Cable TV? 2. The Flat Tire 3. The Express Train To Hell 4. Mr. Rogers- A Navy Seal? 5. Julia Child- A Daring OSS Agent in WWII? 6. Topless Woman in Disney's Animated Movie "The Rescuers"? 7. Shapeshifter Account 8. Dog Suicide Bridge 9. Nancy Reagans Letter to Hinkley 10. A Well Planned Retirement 11. The Clinton Body Count Legend. Editor's Note. There are no facts here, only legend. And we make this clear throughout. Many times. More than 5 times, I believe. It is not meant to be political or hateful. But apparently some people are still offended by the mere suggestion that this strong and vibrant political family may have ever been involved in anything less than pure. Its very possible that this innocent married couple has never done anything wrong or unseemly since they entered politics in Arkansas. Yet the legends continue to swirl around them. We know this is unfair, yet we didn't create the legend. So if you don't want to know what the legend about the Clinton body count says, or you think it might make you angry and want to strike out at us, simply skip this portion. If it offends you, don't write a bad review that hurts the entire show. 12.

BLACKBEARD: THE MAN & THE MYTH: 2017 May 01, 2017

Show notes

The story continues to live on that Blackbeard, also known as Edward Thatch, or Teach, was from Bristol England, had 14 wives, one of whom was named Mary Ormond, that the men he killed were many, that he had left buried treasure from Nova Scotia to Texas, had homes or hideouts all up and down the East coast, and that most of his buccaneers were caught or hung. Thanks to the efforts of author Kevin Duffus and his research team, who gave us the book "The Last Days of Blackbeard the Pirate", we can finally see behind the veil of legend that has surrounded the infamous pirate for over 300 years. #Blackbeard #Pirate #outerbanks Subscribe Free and Review at iTunes Here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-heroes-legends-histories-mysteries/id956154836?mt=2 Facebook: www.facebook.com/1001Heroes Twitter: @1001Podcast Enjoy our three 1001 Stories Network Shows here: www 1001storiesnetwork.com
