Bag of Bones
If you love history, but want to follow the un-beaten path, then this podcast is for you. My name is Elizabeth Bourgeret and I love to learn about the untold stories of American history. The ones that don't make it to the history books. The darker side. The strange. The peculiar. The deadly.
