More Ten-minute Tales

Like its predecessor, More Ten-minute Tales dishes up tasty true stories of remarkable people and events. Step back into history to see, hear, and feel the action first person, as the word camera brings the pieces of our past alive.

Just open the cover to walk alongside Charles Lindbergh as he strides toward the Spirit of St. Louis and into history. Stand beside the famous black cowboy, Nat Love, as he plants 12 riffle shots directly into the bull's-eye at Deadwood's centennial celebration. Sit wide-eyed in the hospital room as a neurosurgeon slowly brings sound artist, Mel Blanc, out of a coma by talking first to Bugs Bunny.
