History Detectives


History Detectives
Combining the latest forensic technology with old fashioned detective work, the History Detectives investigate legends, folklore, and stories of potentially extraordinary objects in everyday American homes to unearth historical events which helped shape America.

Your hosts: Wes Cowan, Elyse Luray, Gwendolyn Wright, and Tukufu Zuberi

Check local listings for broadcast times in your area.

Investigations include a machine that may have been intended to record messages from the dead; dogs trained for war; and a watch fob commemorating Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico. (CC, Stereo, HD, 1 year)
