On this episode of Our American Stories, Bob McLalan is back with The McLalan Files and today he takes us on his scuba diving adventure to Guadalcanal. Larry Reed of FEE tells the story of the Flushing Remonstrance, a pivotal document, and moment, that established a precedent of religious liberty in what would eventually become the United States. Bill Bryk brings us the story of the ingenious inventor, Joshua Lionel Cowen, who went from inventing naval mine detonators to one of the top 5 toys of the 20th century... and all because he was unimpressed by a store's window display.
