In the summer shadows of Reconstruction-era Virginia, Wade Morrison stands at a crossroadsâtorn between the memory of a broken town and the promise of a boundless frontier. As Christiansburg heals slowly from war, whispers of Texas grow louder, tugging at the edges of his ambition. Farewells are spoken. Crates are packed. And across a thousand miles of rail, river, and red clay, a new chapter begins.
But even as Wade heads west, one quiet question lingers: who was the real Dr. Pepper? This episode unveils a surprising truth buried in the 1880 censusâabout the man behind the name, and the life he preferred to lead. It wasnât medicine. And it wasnât fame.
Featuring heartfelt goodbyes, the mystery of flavored seltzers, and the quiet birth of a legend, this episode traces the journey of a young man who would one day name a drinkâbut never forget the town that named him.
