American Storytellers
American Storytellers exists to help weave the American Story back together
WHO WE ARE
We like to tell stories. We like to tell stories about history, and we are Americans. So, we are here to tell stories about American history. American culture is a rich tapestry made of myths, legends and history. Our focus is on history. History tells us what actually happened as closely as we can know it. The more we facts we know about what happened, the better we will understand any given event. I know a lot of you think that history is dull, dry and dreary. Well, it’s not when American Storytellers are telling it. We know that American history is more exciting than any adventure movie, more soaked with intrigue than any CW nighttime soap opera and funnier than a mega-church pastor talking about walking in the footsteps of Christ. So, poke around our website, read some of our blog posts, check out our videos and don’t forget to enter our “Vulgarian of the Month” contest.
