Stories From History's Dust Bin

David Rice Atchison: President For One Day - Episode 9


Listen Later

Today’s story is about a man who should be recognized as America’s 12th president – at least that’s what the folks from the great state of Missouri would suggest. And if the citizens of the “Show Me State” – folks known for their skepticism about almost everything – can believe in Mr. Atchison’s presidency, then everyone should be able to accept his presidency.
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 the over 450 stories featured in Winterton’s Award-Winning* series, narrated by the author and his son, William Winterton.
