Help maintain the American Story archive at Syracuse University. I’m donating the proceeds of my New York Times Best Selling book to keep the storytelling flame burning. The Perfect gift for someone who needs a lift. (Don’t we all?) Stories of seemingly ordinary people who have found solutions to problems we all face. A book about the best of us.

Recently Posted American Stories
Caught in the Middle
Jim Tchaikovsky goes to work under a sun that has no heat. He is out at dawn with the windchill at 30 below, to check on cows about to calve. Jim and his wife Karen are the 5th generation on this land. They may lose it all.
Samaritan Fling
John Fling delivers auto parts for a car dealer, but he also makes stops where the sum seems reluctant to shine.
A Family Adrift
Jim and Deborah Carey and their daughter Chastity are camping in an oil field. They don’t like it much, but their dreams of a future are better than the history of their past. They were farmers until they went broke and went searching for an oil boom. Jim had travelled derrick to derrick — 900 miles — looking for work.
“These are remarkable and poignant stories that need to be told.”
KEN BURNS
“Those of us who know and work with Bob Dotson stand in awe of his gifts as a writer. Like the work so many viewers have come to love on NBC, this collection of stories captivates and inspires.”
- SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
“Throughout his remarkable career Bob Dotson has searched for the real essence of America – not by interviewing the so-called famous but by seeking out those unnoticed people we pass by every day. Dotson is a national treasure for caring enough to listen.”
- MEREDITH VIERA
