An interview remnant with Jon Stone

05/26/21 • 15 min

A few weeks ago, I had my cousin on the show to talk about Oran Roberts, the most important Texas you never heard of. As is often the case, especially where conversations with Jon are concerned, we talked about a lot of stuff that didn’t make it into the interview. Well, I saved that part of the interview for a special edition I’m calling “Remnants.” We talked about the civil war, politics today and ... well, little known facts about the Louisiana Purchase.
Also, Program Notes:
