Lindsey Graham

Hello, American History Teller listeners.

I have an exciting announcement.

I'm going on tour and coming to a theater near you.

This live show is a thrilling evening of history, storytelling, and music, with a full band accompanying me as we look back to explore the days that made America.

And they aren't the days that you might think.

Sure, everyone knows July 4th, 1776.

We'll be hearing a lot about that date this year.

But there are many other days that are maybe even more influential.

So come out to see me live.

More shows to be announced soon.

So for information on tickets and upcoming dates, go to AmericanHistoryLive.com.

That's AmericanHistoryLive.com.

Come see my Days That Made America tour live on stage.

Imagine it's the afternoon of Sunday, September 9th, 1900, somewhere outside of League City, Texas.

You and five other men left Galveston on a boat this morning to begin a 50-mile journey to Houston in order to alert the world about yesterday's devastating hurricane.

Since reaching the mainland, you've been pumping your way north in a small rail handcart.

Your arms are sore from the work, but the repetitive motion is a helpful distraction from your shock and grief.

All right, keep going, boys.

Just a few more miles.
