After 12 years and more than 650 stories, we could tell you what makes 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries different. But we’d rather let our listeners tell you why they keep coming back. They tell us they love the stories. This isn't history delivered as a dry collection of names and dates. Host and storyteller Jon Hagadorn searches out fascinating people, remarkable events, great adventures, enduring legends, and mysteries that make the past come alive. They tell us they love the variety. One episode might take you into an ancient civilization, another into World War II, the Old West, Hollywood history, an unsolved mystery, true crime, a remarkable survival story, lost treasure, the paranormal, or an event that still leaves us searching for answers. You never know where history will take us next. And perhaps most important, listeners tell us they simply enjoy the way the stories are told: well researched, entertaining, relaxed, and easy to listen to. We're proud that some have been listening for years, discovering people, events, and corners of history they never knew would interest them. Whether you're a lifelong history lover or simply someone who loves a great story, there's a place for you here. Come for the history.

Here we offer hand-picked accounts from diaries, historical documents, autobiographies, books of the time period, and historians to bring you the American frontier story directly from the people who lived it, as well as a great mix of old radio show westerns like Gunsmoke and Tales of The Texas Rangers. You'll hear actual accounts of Indian battles, pioneer struggles, outlaws, cowboys and Indians, lawmen, and the men and women who took the chance and moved west, many by wagon train, to a largely uncharted and wild territory. Go west, young man, are the words often attributed to Horace Greeley, American author and newspaper editor, but there was more to that quote. He wrote “Washington is not a place to live in- the rents are high, the food is bad, and the morals are deplorable. Go west, young man, go west, and grow up with the country. We invite you to go west with us to another world, another time, another place- and see if you have what it takes to survive and thrive in a world that was much simpler than today's- yet demanded much more of you. Time to mount up-1001 Stories From the Old West is waiting for you.
