We believe our dogs to have a special bond with us. It's something sacred to those of us who have been forged into better people by the love of a little black rescue dog. Let me tell you about my dog, Boomer.

The Spring of 1954, somewhere in northwestern Oklahoma. A group of upstart high schoolers form a marching band to represent their school at sporting events after the school could no longer send along the official band. From there, small gestures from folks in town made the idea work. A story worthy of a Hallmark movie, but packed with lessons how to make things happen! withinpodcast.com

Described as wild and beautiful creatures, the horses of Shannon County, Missouri are just that. The off spring of work horses abandoned by desperate Ozark farmers during the depression, they have survived and flourished on the Federal Lands around the Current and Jack's Fork Rivers. Once seen as a problem to be disposed of, they are now a protected part of the National Park. And they pose a question about tame-ness ...withinpodcast.com

The Cookson Hills hold many a legend about the exploits of Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd and his amazing escapes from the clutches of the law through a hail of gunfire. But there's also the story about a collector, a clerk really, from a loan office in Fort Smith who was able to best the man who was soon to be Public Enemy No. 1 - without even knowing it. withinpodcast.com

I'm feeling philosophical about my walks with my assistant producer, Boomer, on the trail near our home. By applying a lesson I learned from the pages of the nerdy books I read when I was a kid, I have special outlook on not just the walks on the trail, but many of the things that happen around me.

Special shoutout to assistant producer, Boomer.

Most know the United States entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Just a few months before that fateful December morning, folks in Miami, Ok were already hearing the engines of foreign pilots over head. Miami was home to Churchill Field, a training school for British pilots. Over 2,100 would-be pilots came to this corner of the Sooner State for training, a handful never left. withinpodcast.com

Before he was on the Five Dollar Bill, before his words were memorized by schoolchildren through the decades and before he was hailed as the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln was a candidate for President...and it wasn't looking so good. He undertook a trip to Kansas to see for himself the violence and legacy of popular sovereignty, and maybe score a few extra delegates to the upcoming Republican convention. A rare look at candidate Lincoln and his trip to the west. withinpodcast.com
