John Holway brings history to life, like watching nine movies unroll before your eyes. American heroes you didn’t read about in school.Yankee artists descend on Claude Monet’s French village to paint with the Master and dally with his pretty daughters. Until the Old Man finds out. Then there’s hell to pay.A pretty black Amelia Earhart does loop the loops in her bi-plane over Paris - and dazzles the men of France and America.Steve Nelson endures police beatings fighting for coal miners’ rights, then sails to Spain to fight Fascist Armies while America sleeps.Bert Shepard straps himself into a fighter plane and roars into combat. He loses a leg but straps on a new one to pitch in the major leagues.While Congressmen cringe at the bully Joe McCarthy, a tiny woman, Margaret Chase Smith, strikes the first blow to bring him down.Charlie Bussey climbs a Korean hill with three men and two machine guns and blows away 258 enemy. But the Army refuses to award a Medal of Honor, because he’s black.Three Salem Witches battle gamblers and amorous players to zap the Patriots to their first NFL flag.Arguing, aloholic Solveg, 36, and gimpy Eddie, 18, set out to cross a 20,000-foot mountain pass before the snows close it. They also fall in love. But can it endure?
