Best friends who built a nation together, enemies who did not speak for twelve years, and two old men who found each other again through one hundred and fifty eight letters, until the same impossible day carried them both home, reconciled and at peace.\nThis is a special Fourth of July Tale: one true story from history, told at the fireside, with nothing sudden in it. The story ends softly around the 48 minute mark and the summer night, crickets and warm breeze and a far off bell, continues until morning. Black screen friendly.\nChapters:\n0:00 Welcome\n0:49 The Same Impossible Day\n4:03 Two Kinds of Weather\n9:29 The Pen and the Voice\n14:11 Paris, London, and a Borrowed Family\n18:27 The Long Winter\n23:35 The Matchmaker and the Dream\n27:27 One Hundred and Fifty Eight Letters\n31:50 The Fiftieth Summer\n34:54 The Fourth\n40:42 How the News Traveled\n44:52 Drifting\n48:27 The Summer Night Continues\nListen with the video on YouTube: add the episode link.\nNew episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6pm Eastern.
