It's a big 4th of July weekend! |

We'll start with John L. Smith at 8am ET on July 4th. He's been researching Abigail and John Adams, and will give us a look at the role they played together in the establishment of the young republic. Abigail Adams was an extraordinary woman. Her attitude, advice, ethics, and financial smarts come through in the couple's rich body of correspondence. |

Greg Aaron is up next on July 4th at 9:30am ET to tell us about ties between comic books and the American Revolution. Ever hear of Fighting Yank? John Liberty? Well, what about Batman? We can't wait to hear the backstories on these characters! |
|
It wouldn't be the first Saturday of the month without a "Natural Encounter" with Smithsonian ornithologist and naturalist Dr. Bruce Beehler at 10:30am ET! He'll be fresh off a trip to the mighty Mount Katahdin at the northern terminus of the Appalachain trail, ready to share what he discovered in our beautiful, wild, American landscape. |

You didn't think we'd go this far down the history rabbit hole and not add something to the Sleeper Cab Library, did you? At 9:30am ET on July 5th, award-winning journalist John Berlau will discuss his new book, George Washington, Entrepreneur. When Americans think of George Washington, they mostly remember his roles as general and president. Most people don’t think of him as a businessman and our country’s first true entrepreneur, responsible for innovations in several industries. From agriculture and chemistry, to engineering and whiskey, GW was a serious inventor with intellect to rival Jefferson and Franklin. |

Want one more guest to round out the weekend? Here he is! Mike Cecere joins us at 10am ET on July 5th. There were 10 independent rifle companies authorized by Congress on June 14, 1775 to reinforce the newly adopted Continental Army in Massachusetts. Mike shares their story, and gives a peek at his newly published book, General Peter Muhlenberg: A Virginia Officer of the Continental Line. That's all of our guests on the 4th of July weekend, but wait, there's more we want to tell you! |

FOOD TRUCKS! Did we get your attention? Hope so, because it's YOUR feedback we want! At the beginning of April, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced that they would not prohibit commercial food trucks to operate in state rest areas during the national emergency declaration. The prohibition against food trucks has long been questioned. Some worried that food trucks in rest areas would put truck stop restaurants out of business... |
|
...but what actually happened as the food trucks were permitted? Scott Grenerth from Truck Specialized Parking Services would love your feedback! It will be used to inform a discussion among researchers. What have you seen at rest areas? Have you visited a food truck? He'll join us for the full hour to take your calls on Thursday, July 9 from 8-9am Eastern. |
