Summary
There are all sorts of holiday traditions. Some come steeped in history, honoring great turning points or important people, while others, inexplicably, grow organically from small - almost meaningless events. One such unusual Thanksgiving rite is based on a relatively trivial matter that happened back in 1965. If it had happened to anyone but a folksinger it would never be remembered today. He wrote a song about it which became a hit and later spawned a movie. Today hundreds, maybe thousands, pull out the song and play it some time before feasting on turkey. It's become part of the annual ritual. Now, we all know that the story behind the song "Alice's Restaurant" can't possibly be true, right? But it is - at least, partly. Listen in to get the lowdown on the real story of Alice's Restaurant.

American History Untucked
Release Date: 09/01/2020
Description: The show is a conversation about and by American history and American historians. It’s about history, but it’s also about the historian’s background, their experiences, what they’ve learned doing history. It’s about time in the archives, about the writing process, about teaching, doing public history, engaging with all different kinds of audiences. It’s about American historians broadly defined – mostly academic historians, but also archivists, public historians, documentary film makers, and historians outside the ivory tower. It’s about what makes history interesting to us and how we try to share that with our readers, students, and other audiences.
