Welcome to the inadvertent Adventurers Episode! This week the sisters each chose men with very adventurous spirits for their stories. First, KT starts off with the tale of Captain William Kidd. Next, Laurel follows it up with the story of a bagpipe-playing, broadsword-wielding, longbow-shooting soldier in WWII named "Mad Jack" or "Fighting Jack" Churchill.
