We are reading the 1828 biography of The Life and Travels of John Ledyard. This is the first attempt at a production of this by OHP and it is meant to be a study and as close to a firsthand account of this lost to history legendary traveler. In the Preface and Chapter one we met his family and learned of his college life. Now he has moved on to find family in the old country and set sails with Captain Cook on his last voyage. While I am not a professional reader by any means I hope you are enjoying the story. My thoughts are after 1 more week we will move back to the interviews that have taken us so far and explore more history and stories from across the country. We will finish the book as I can not stand a project left undone, however it will be interspersed though out the year.

Also, we announced this past Monday that we are going into print! OHP and American Digger Magazine are combining forces and will be producing and publishing a new magazine entitled “Embracing History”! We are excited about the new magazine and it will have a flavor of OHP with topics such as: Travel, Leisure, Research, Preservation, Restoration, Artifacts, Antiques and Antiquing, Flea Markets, Online Finds, Myths, Legends, Book Reviews, Archeology, Genealogy, Metal Detecting, In-depth Articles, Historical Fiction…..If its History we have it. You can see why we can say that Nobody Does History Like We Do!
