The Wild Stories Behind Old American Postal Covers and Stamps.

Описание: Step back in time with Ross Haycock as we uncover the real lives behind six old American postal covers. From gold rush towns and oil booms to letters of love, loss, and courage, these envelopes carry stories that go far beyond the covers and stamps themselves.
Join Charnie Craemer on the Great Stamp Adventure and see how ordinary covers reveal extraordinary histories — stories of adventure, tragedy, and triumph that you won’t find in any textbook.
I really liked the stories, especially the second cover with Sadie's story, and the postal bag incident, and I also really liked the story about the pilot with the short and accident prone flying career. You can find the time stamps to these stories below.

For the video I deleted some parts of Ross's presentation, purely to make the video shorter and more compact. I know that everyone's time is so precious. The original presentation by Ross is, however, even more interesting and complete than the video. I was sad and unsure about omitting some parts. I hope I didn't do the presentation too large of a disservice!

A stamp giveaway is STILL coming to celebrate the channel, Great Stamp Adventure, reaching 1,000 subscribers! :) :) Sorry, I am still putting together the prizes! Time is just running away with me!
