The first villager, Sarah Bishop, is chosen to be hung, 19 others follow. Anne Putnam Jr. and others put on courtroom shows, accusing innocent people of witchcraft, and the judges and jury all fall for it. This is the story of the victims and the Salem Village citizens, including the handful that stood up for truth in a town gone mad with witch hysteria in 1692.

In March of 1692 the little village of Salem Massachusetts became a hotbed of lies, deception, and fear as a group of teenage girls went into convulsions and named selected locals as witches who were possessing them. The judge, the reverends, and most of the townspeople were caught up in the frenzy and fear and those who spoke up faced sure retribution. When the witch hunt started it gained momentum- and was at its worst when a four year old girl whose mother had already been accused was interrogated for two weeks until she finally broke down and admitted she was a witch so she could go to the gallows with her mother.

For days Forsyth's men laid in their shallow holes trying not to get shot, but the doctor was hit badly, Beecher was dying, and qa half dozen others were either dead of wounded, including Forsyth, who was still commanding his men. They had sent scouts but it was 100 miles to the nearest post and the chances the scouts would make it through the Indians was minimal.  The rations were gone, and the only option after 4 days was rotting horse meat. Death was staring them in the face. This is their story.

One of the most moving stories we have ever done jhere at 1001 Heroes- This one deserves a movie!

PART tWO- DON'T MISS IT!

Born in the South to a poor black family, young Eugene Bullard ran away from his family when his only parent, his father, was being pursue for a supposed crime. He made it to France and became a fighter pilot for the French air force in WWI.His incredible story follows.

August, 1868  General Phil Sheridan offers a special commission to his top officer Col. Forsyth to hire 50 good, tough men to bring the fight to the Indians that have been marauding throughout the central and northern West. Armed with Spencer repreating carbines and fast horses, they take the fight to Cheyenne Chief Roman Nose, who has gathered 600 warriors under his command. They meet at Beecher's Island on the Arikara River on Sept. 17th, 1868, in one of the biggest battles of the Indian wars.

This episode tells the story-behind-the story regarding the making of the movie that many critics claim is the greatest movie ever made, including the fact that the movie was filmed while WWII was raging and that many of the people involved in the making of the movie had escaped from Nazi-dominated Europe and had yet to loose family members in German concentration camps. The cast, the creators, and the story outlining the importance of Casablanca as vital link for escaping refugees, are brought to light here, along with movie gaffs listed at the end. For appropriate ages studying World War II, this episode combined with a viewing of the movie, would make an excellent prelude to studies of 1941-1943. This episode briefly and simply explains France's occupation by Germany and its political division between the Vichy Government (pro-Nazi) and the French Resistance government under DeGaulle, drawing similarities between this division and that of America during their revolution. Listen to this episode just before watching the movie and you'll enjoy Casablanca 100% more.
