About this Podcast:

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.com www.LegacyPublishingLLC.com
