Two strangers, more than a thousand miles apart, were united by an old tree. Okay, a fascinating and historic 300 year old tree.
This week we bring you an update to a story we told you on-air earlier in September. It's about a small Civil War-era cannonball found in a tree in Independence, Missouri. Chains were also found in the tree. Although it's been cut down, we'll explain how that black walnut tree is getting new life.
