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 - The Canonball House in Historic Macon, GA
An Invitation For You
Welcome to Our History Project
I want to invite you to the Canonball House Museum in Macon, GA. It is a stop along the trail that you will not forget because it has something for everyone. From the little kids to the big kids they have a piece of history and a love of sharing that will not only embrace you but also immerse you in history. The unique experience in talking to Dorene Buchanan is that she could talk as much about the rest of Historical Macon as she did about the Canonball House, and they want you to explore it all.
The Canonball House is right off I-75 and I-16 in Macon, GA, so the next time you are driving through pull off, stretch your legs and explore some History with them. If your local, what better way to spend the day. They would love to have ya.

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.

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
