About The Billy Caldwell Trail

The behind-the-scenes story about creating the Billy Caldwell movie. Since 1993, Susan L. Kelsey has been following the trail of Billy Caldwell, early Irish/Native American leader during the dawn of America. Caldwell's trail began near Niagara Falls and the Mohawk Camp of Joseph Brant. Caldwell eventually finds himself migrating west through Detroit, western Michigan, Chicago, Platte County, MO and finally Council Bluffs, Iowa. The film, "The Negotiator: Billy Caldwell" tells the story of his journey across America. The podcast, “The Billy Caldwell Trail" tells the story behind the story. We meet with people that helped share information about life at that time, what Tribes may have thought about those tumultuous times and how research about Billy Caldwell was completed. www.TheBillyCaldwellMovie.comwww.LegacyPublishingLLC.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
