Man vs History

We've consumed so much fiction about the Wild West, it's time to get down to the facts. In search of the truth, Bil Lepp, puts Billy the Kid's famous escape to the test.

Great American folk tales have been passed down for generations.

Bil pursues the truth around America's most iconic stunts by pulling his very own Houdini: testing if it's possible to survive a plunge over Niagara Falls.

Bil aims to answer why exactly we remember the Alamo, how Davy Crockett really died and if Civil War soldiers were healed by an 'angel's glow.'

There is no shortage of great American rivalries. Myths are born in the hair-trigger atmosphere of a feud.

Bil separates fact from fiction surrounding the legendary Bowie Knife, attempts to outshoot Abe Lincoln and unloads the Colt 45 origin story.

Bil sheds light on how Ben Franklin really discovered electricity.

Bil saddles up to find out what Paul Revere's ride was really like, and if the turning point in Revolutionary War was a seemingly impossible sniper shot.
