Charles Curtis: America's First Native-American VP - Episode 37

Assuming that you are familiar with the legacy of Charles Curtis, we’ll dispense with the usual introductory formalities and go directly to the story.

What!

The name Charles Curtis doesn’t mean anything to you?  What were you doing when your high school American History class was studying the presidents and vice-presidents?

Did I hear your right?

That you were passing notes to your prom date?

Well, it’s a good thing you tuned in, as today’s story is about Charles Curtis, who was not only Herbert Hoover’s Vice President – but a man who should be remembered for something else that most people have forgotten about today.

Stories from History’s Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories. These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual. Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.

Each podcast episode features one of over 450 short stories from either Winterton’s Award-Winning Stories from Dust Bin series* or the companion volume, From Ace to Zamboni: 101 More Dust Bin Stories, as narrated by either the author or his son, William, or daughter, Jana.

If you enjoy today’s episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes! And if you don’t want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol’ fashioned ink and paper).
