History Detectives
Vietnam Diary, Bootlegger’s Notebook and a Hollywood Ledger
Season 10
Episode 6
In this episode, can History Detectives return the diary of a fallen North Vietnamese soldier to that veteran’s family? Then, a notebook full of recipes for large volumes of liquor makes an Indiana man wonder if his rich uncle was a Prohibition-era bootlegger. And what can an old ledger tell us about how Hollywood treated Native American actors?
