Hunts AdvertisementI was There is a rare but excellent historical old time radio show which gives an eyewitness account to notable events in history and extraordinary news stories. The events are dramatized from the tales of real eyewitnesses who were there at the scene. Events include:

  • The start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936
  • The dramatic life-saving dog that inspired one American to starts of the National Guide Dog Foundation
  • The 1916 election between Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes, which some believe was fraught with clerical errors
  • The 1927 drought in China that killed millions
  • Rene Belbenoit's escape from Devil's Island
  • Royal weddings and more

Sponsored by Hunts Tomato Sauce, later Mobil Oil, and even later Sea Island Cane Sugar, I was There was broadcast between 1935 and 1945. This collection contains the few rare episodes in existence of this collection.
