Dedication Day
Most of us have sat through a history
class or tried to read a history text
and been bored to tears. History
needn't be boring; it's about people's
lives and all the magnificent,
innovative, breathtaking, horrible
things that have happened in the
past. As is clear from their spelling,
the words "history" and "story" are
related, yet so often history is
presented in its barest bones - what
happened when and where to whom.
But it's the juicy details, the
fascinating moments of serendipity,
unknown heartbreaks, and the
brushes with greatness that we
remember. These are the things that
bring history alive and they are also
the best subjects for historical stories.
When Roosevelt Dam was under construction,
my grandfather, Grantley Warren was nine
years old and growing up in nearby Globe,
Arizona. He was fascinated by the dam and by
the process of its building. The dam was to be
dedicated on March 18, 1911, and former
president Theodore Roosevelt himself was
coming for the ceremony. My grandfather
wanted desperately to meet President
Identify the story's main character: Your choice here is to tell a story about a real historical
figure or to tell about real events in history from a fictional character's point of view. If you
choose to tell about a real person, you must stick to the facts as they have been
documented. Creating a fictional character, someone who might have witnessed the events
you want to tell about, can allow you more flexibility to craft the story and to weave in
events or perspectives that a single historical person could not have had. As with telling
about an actual person, you must remain true to historical accuracy.
Roosevelt, but how would he get there? He
hitched a ride on a neighbor's horse-drawn
wagon for the 30-mile journey north-west on
rutted dirt roads to the dam. Despite the
difficulty of the ride and the dam's distance
from most towns, there was quite a crowd -
close to 1,000 people. Grantley wormed his
way through the assembled well-wishers and
managed to get right next to President
Roosevelt. He said that the great man even
shook his hand. In some of the official
photographs of the day, the boy who became
my grandfather is standing beside to Teddy
Roosevelt! He was there at 5:48 p.m. to
witness the moment when President
Determine possible points of conflict to shape the plot: The heart of any story is conflict.
Without conflict there is no story. When formulating your story, keep asking yourself, "What
are the points of conflict? How can I show them in the story? To whom can the story
happen?" Answers to these questions provide the basic plot and the major characters. The
points of conflict may be relationships between characters from different backgrounds, how
the characters interact with the environment, or their responses to great challenges or
tragedies.
A historical story tells about events
and the people who played parts In
them. The best stories bring to light
facts and perspectives that are not
usually covered in large history survey
Give the story "voice" (point of view): You must choose your story's voice. The story will
differ according to its point of view. Events and people are described positively or negatively
depending on who is telling the story. The Civil War, The War Between the States, and the
Late Unpleasantness are all the same event, but seen through different eyes. The story of a
runaway slave can be told by the slave, the slave owner, the child in the Big House who has
been raised by the slave, the bounty hunter, or any number of other people. The story will
be dramatically different in each case! In the past, history was most often told from the
white, male perspective. Telling a story from a different point of view can allow us to hear
from history's missing voices.

Historical accuracy in a story is very important, but the story must also entertain. Don't shy
away from story elements that will grab people and hold their interest. Find that theme to

Storytelling
"I worked myself all up before telling... palms sweating, stomach doing all kinds of crazy
flips, and mouth dry. I stood before my classmates and tried to tell the story and just hoped
that at least half of them would enjoy it. And then, after taking my seat, I found that most,
if not all of them, had enjoyed it and everything was cool!" (Storytelling Student Fall 2001)

How to Tell a Fact-based Story:
Historical, Biographical, and Family Stories
What are Fact-based Stories?
Historical, biographical, and family stories – all based in fact – are about events that really
happened and people who really existed. Historical stories are about events from the past,
or people who played parts in the events, and are often told in ways that highlight new or
unknown perspectives. Biographical stories are about the famous, infamous, and influential:
people who have had an impact on culture or history and whose lives have been
documented by others. Family stories are about the people in your family, some of whom
may be famous, may have witnessed history, or are unknown in the wider world, but worthy
of a story nonetheless.
Your role as the crafter of the story comes to the forefront in telling stories based in fact. In
any event or life there is far more information than needs to be told or can be told in a single
story. The teller must select and shape the information to create the best story possible
about the topic. Telling a fact-based story is not giving a lecture or reciting a set of facts, but
rather telling something that will hold listeners' interest and move them in some way,
whether emotionally, spiritually, or intellectually.
A story based in fact may fit into more than one category, as does the story about my
grandfather that follows. It is a family story, as well as a historical story, set in a documented
event from the past. In fact, although historical, biographical and family stories can be
described as if they were separate types, they often overlap, and the processes of finding,
crafting, and telling them are similar.
