America's Cowboy: The Story of Will Rogers

On this episode of Our American Stories, Will Rogers' famous quotes ring as true today as they did in the Great Depression. "Congress opens with a prayer and ends with an investigation", "make crime pay...become a lawyer", "the only difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets". Here to tell the story of the man is Tad Jones, the director of the Will Rogers Memorial and audio from Lux Radio Theatre.
