William Tell’s story might be described as equal parts legend and legendary.  That’s because his story took place over 700 years ago, and that’s a long time for any set of facts to remain unsullied.

 

Since many stories that become legends are built around a kernel of truth, the story begins by accepting that a Swiss-German man named William Tell was born around 1270.  We also realize that over time, some non-factual detail may have crept into the story of his life – which is sometimes assumed to be fact.  Regardless of the fog of time.  Take a chance.  Listen to the story.  It’s guaranteed you’ll learn more about William Tell than your neighbor’s know.

 

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.
