Greetings,
I am one of the producers of the American history radio show,
"BackStory with the American History Guys," hosted by historians Ed
Ayers, Peter Onuf, and Brian Balogh and based at the Virginia
Foundation for the Humanities. We recently re-released a show that may
be of interest to VA-HIST subscribers. "Coming Home: A History of War
Veterans" commemorates the upcoming Veterans Day holiday by exploring
the diverse experiences of veterans returning home from war over three
centuries. How have we as a country treated veterans once they're back
home? Are veterans only as popular as the wars they fought in?
Highlights include interviews with historian Rebecca Jo Plant on the
role that mothers and wives have played in the lives of returning
vets; Frank Earnest, former Commander of the Virginia Division of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans on conflicting allegiances; a group of
senior veterans from the Virginia American Legion on their personal
experiences returning home; and psychologist Ed Tick on how he uses
lessons from history in his work with veterans and their families. The
show will be broadcast over the airwaves in various US cities over the
coming week and is also available for download and streaming here.
An important part of our mission at BackStory is to create useful
material for teachers. The Teacher Resources page on our website helps
facilitate educators who would like to use the show in their
classrooms. Feedback is most welcome as we continue to find ways to
work more closely with teachers. Please let us know what you think,
and how we can serve you better in the future!
Thanks,
Catherine V. Moore
