"I had not lived in the former pit village of Lynemouth since 1961 but the winding road north from Newcastle will always be the same nostalgic highway, each twist charged with vivid memories and powerful emotions...." So begins a story full of wonderful humour, emotional candour, and hardy tales of tough times - a quietly epic family saga set amid the pit villages of the Northeast. It stretches from the 1920s, before Sid's parents had even met, to the final closing of the mine and his mother's death, in 1999.

In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project sent mostly anonymous writers into the depths of Florida to reveal its splendor to the world. The FWP and the State of Florida jointly published the results as Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, which included twenty-two driving tours of the state's main roads. Retracing the original routes in the Guide, Cathy Salustri rekindles our notions of paradise by bringing a modern eye to the historic travelogues.

We are changing our name!!! We are now called History Backroads. We're still based in Savannah, Georgia USA, and where you travel through history and culture, GPS location by GPS location. You can find transcripts of the show and the coordinates of where these events happened at our website HistoryByGPS.com. That way you can follow the story as it goes along.... Or, you can just listen and enjoy. The show's host, JD Byous, is a historian, writer, photographer, and author.

I grew up appreciating, listening, & learning from history, encouraged mostly by my mom's love & pushing of literature! When you travel the interstates, you might miss so many nuances of an area. Backroads may seem slower, but IMHO, they are often more relaxing, scenic, and usually always have hidden/unheard stories. Let's relax, listen, and enjoy the exploration of the off-the-beaten-path "backroads." Along the routes, we'll often hear from everyday people in communities who trust me to honor their unique oral histories, as I begin my own Public History Ph.D. learning journey!
