This week, I'm sharing three past episodes to keep you warm on your Christmas travels. For the first one, let’s set the clock back to December 1917, when an ammunition ship blew up in the harbor of Halifax, Nova Scotia, causing the largest explosion before the invention of the atom bomb. The blast left thousands dead, injured, or homeless, in the teeth of a Canadian winter. 500 miles away, a private banker in Boston received a garbled telegram indicating that there was trouble to the north, and within hours Boston responded with manpower, supplies, and funds that forged an unbreakable bond between the two cities.
