Prologue

Ira talks to John Biewen about how remarkable it is that he could grow up in a town and never learn about the most significant event in its history. This show about Native Americans and settlers was first broadcast on Thanksgiving weekend 2012, on the 150th anniversary of the war. (4 minutes)

John Biewen is director of the audio program at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. He hosts the podcast Scene on Radio.
