    WHAT'S HAPPENING

    MISSION HISTORY

    This podcast is not merely a retelling, but an invitation to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with history itself, to sense the pulse of bravery, and to grasp the monumental significance of those who etched liberty’s story into the chronicles of time.

    In season one, we begin with a story of timely importance. It’s the story of the armies who fought in the American Revolutionary War… because in 2022 the Camden Battlefields’ caretakers were forced to make a rare and difficult decision. They needed to safeguard the resting places of those valiant soldiers whose very graves were in jeopardy of being destroyed. Hear from the men and women who rescued the remains of the fallen heroes and experience the historic event in April 2023 of the reburial ceremonies. But before that, Mission History will transport you to 1770s America through vivid stories of top generals, fearless battlefield commanders, and the valiant men and women who stood on the front lines. From Boston, New York, and Philadelphia to Carolina’s fields and Georgia’s swamps, experience the American Revolutionary War like never before.
