Our American Stories

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.

    The Real Story of the First Thanksgiving

He’s here to tell us the story of this quintessentially American holiday. Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Fannie Farmer: The Mother of Level Measurements

    On this episode of Our American Stories, cooking in the late 1800s was unpredictable, tiresome, and difficult.

We are joined by Ken Albala, professor of history and food studies at University of the Pacific in California.
