Believe it or not, politicians have been known to adjust the boundaries of a voting district to give an unfair advantage to one political party in an election.

 

Today we dive into the dust bin and unearth the story of Elbridge Gerry, the namesake behind the expression.

 

 

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.

 

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).
