The Rest of the Story
Indians' Smoke Signals Too Slow
by
Read by Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story turns overlooked details from history and everyday life into brief, carefully shaped radio narratives. Harvey begins with a person, event, or familiar account, then reveals the surprising background that gives it a new meaning.
In his distinctive, measured delivery, Harvey builds each story through concise narration and a gradual unfolding of information. The pleasure comes from following the details as they accumulate and waiting for the final connection or reversal that explains why this particular story is worth telling.
Warm, curious, and often gently surprising, the program offers compact pieces of historical storytelling centered on the human details behind well-known names and events. This installment is titled “Indians’ Smoke Signals Too Slow.”
