So far America is pretty hostile to everyday hunting - but for some reason we keep adding categories.And lets face it, for a country that keeps talking about how we don't need roaylty, we do seem to keep mimicking aritocrats.the early 19th century loves some fox hunting - so much so that we imported foxes (even though there are plenty already here). Hunting keeps happening everyday - but we like to say it's not cool.Unless you are doing it for leisure... or to earn money.Yes - the early 19th century brings the birth of the Market Hunter - which needed the railroad to create itself.The Buffalo may cease to roam - and the Passenger Pigeon darken the skies by the end of the century - but the seeds of their destruction are planted here... at the start of the 19th cenutry.But worry not, it's not all bad news - you can still get a giant game pie.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
In this episode, I sit down with Nebraska archaeologist Nolan Johnson to talk about his work uncovering and interpreting the state's rich historic past. We begin with the Beaver Creek Trail Crossing, a site that offers a glimpse into the experiences of travelers along the overland trails and the material traces they left behind. Nolan shares the story of how the site was investigated, what artifacts reveal about life on the move, and why these places remain important today.In the second half, our discussion broadens to post-1492 archaeology across Nebraska, what makes it distinct, what challenges archaeologists face in preserving and interpreting recent pasts, and why connecting communities to these stories continues to matter.Transcriptshttps://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/30Plains 30 TranscriptLinksNolan Johnson's Team Bio at Nebraska State Historical SocietyArchaeology at the Beaver Creek Trail Crossing SiteFort Atkinson State Historical Park WebsiteComanche Meeting the DragoonsThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

There have been enigmatic aerial phenomena reported across the ages, shadowy forms gliding through the heavens that challenge our understanding of the possible, often manifesting as elongated vessels resembling colossal cigars or cylinders, silent and deliberate in their passage. From biblical accounts of fiery chariots descending upon ancient lands to the phantom airships that haunted the American West in the late 19th century, these sightings have sparked debates about secret human inventions, natural illusions, or intelligences from distant stars. Yet, in the frozen isolation of Soviet Siberia, where vast taiga forests conceal secrets and the weight of authoritarian silence stifles inquiry, a cluster of such encounters near the scarred site of history's most mysterious explosion invites profound speculation about what may lurk in the remote heavens.This tale ventures into the remote wilderness surrounding the Tunguska River, a landscape forever marked by the cataclysmic blast of 1908 and later whispered to be a focal point for otherworldly visitations amid the Cold War's veil of secrecy. It encompasses thunderous detonations without craters, massive rotating cylinders birthing fleets of discs, and a witness whose path wove through the gulag's brutality and encounters with forgotten prisoners. At its essence is the 1953 observations of Benjamin Dodin, a gulag inmate whose detailed accounts of these craft not only defied Soviet orthodoxy but also suggested technologies transcending earthly bounds, prompting questions about whether these were clandestine prototypes, extraterrestrial scouts, or autonomous emissaries from multiple cosmic origins surveying our world.Soviet citizens chronicled cigar-esque forms exhibiting physics-defying maneuvers. A 1965 submarine crew beheld a 200-meter entity submerging silently, sonar hissing briefly. 1915 Volga apparitions aligned with wartime Zeppelins, but 1896 San Francisco's ovate craft with voices and searchlights predated known airships.www.mydarkpath.com/76-cigar-shaped-craftRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

6. The Cormorant and the Guano Trade: Wealth, Exploitation, and Intensive Farming AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This section covers Cormorant guano, a highly prized fertilizer known to the Incas. In the 19th century, shipping guano from arid Peruvian islands made British businessman William Gibbs the wealthiest commoner in England. Tragically, this wealth was built upon the exploitation and deaths of Chinese indentured laborers. The guano boom (1840-1870) ended, leading to the invention of synthetic fertilizers (Haber-Bosch process), which enabled intensive farming that caused wildlife decline in Britain and North America. 1838
. The Snowy Egret and Emperor Penguin: Conservation, Fashion, and Climate Crisis AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This final excerpt discusses the slaughter of the Snowy Egret for its feathers during the 19th-century "plumage wars," driven by high fashion. The extreme cruelty galvanized women to form conservation societies, such as the Audubon Society. The murder of warden Guy Bradley, who was protecting the birds, helped end the industry. The conversation concludes with the Emperor Penguin, which is facing massive population loss (estimated 98% by 2100) due to the climate crisis and serves as the "miner's canary" warning humanity of impending doom.

In 1856, after yet another day of disappointing experiments, a chemist named William Henry Perkin was cleaning up his glassware when he made a discovery that would harken a new — and colorful — era of science and industry. Just 18 years old, Perkin was a promising young student in a prestigious lab at the Royal College of Chemistry in London and he was supposed to be figuring out a way to make a chemical compound called quinine. Despite his best efforts, Perkin was coming up empty — or rather — producing a lot of dirty dishes with little to show for it. But he did notice that there was a curious goop in one of his flasks, and it turned a brilliant shade of purple in the wash. Intrigued, Perkin decided to try dyeing a swatch of silk with his serendipitous solution. Although he had failed yet again to produce quinine, Perkin had created the very first synthetic dye and launched a scientific industry that is still bringing new drugs and dyes to market today.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

HEADLINE: Polynesian Navigation Techniques and the Voyage of John Williams AUTHOR NAME: Nicholas Thomas SUMMARY: Professor Nicholas Thomas introduces his book, Voyagers, discussing 19th-century missionary John Williams's encounter with Chief Rono Matani. Matani demonstrated that proper course setting required departing from a specific, knowledge-based point on an island, utilizing landmarks. Once out of sight of land, Polynesians maintained course using specific rising stars, compensating for currents and wind through subtle environmental understanding. 1899 FIJI
Women's History, Episode #4 of 4. Today we're exploring one of Texas's most enduring legends - the story of the "Yellow Rose of Texas" and her supposed role in the Battle of San Jacinto. We are going to unravel the myth of “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” We will explore the woman at the heart of the tale, Emily D. West, who was a free woman of color working in Texas, and untangle her real life from the Texan myth. We will also unravel how Emily's tale was erroneously tied to the song, “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” Select Bibliography Jeffrey D.

Jumping Through Hoops: Performing Gender in the 19th Century Circus, by Betsy Golden Kellem, reveals the hidden history of early female circus performers: boundary-breaking women like Lavinia Warren, known as the Queen of Beauty; to Millie-Christine McKoy, the Two-Headed Nightingale; to Patty Astley, the mother of the modern circus. These astounding female and gender-nonconforming artists wrestled snakes, performed magic tricks with electricity, and walked across waterfalls on tightropes, shattering taboos by performing in public. Betsy deftly explores how major forces in the long nineteenth century combined to create the uniquely American spectacle of the traveling circus. During the transformation of the circus from scrappy “mud shows” to a major international business, these extraordinary women challenged contemporary ideas of femininity, creating new possibilities for women far beyond the big top.

Jumping Through Hoops: Performing Gender in the 19th Century Circus, by Betsy Golden Kellem, reveals the hidden history of early female circus performers: boundary-breaking women like Lavinia Warren, known as the Queen of Beauty; to Millie-Christine McKoy, the Two-Headed Nightingale; to Patty Astley, the mother of the modern circus. These astounding female and gender-nonconforming artists wrestled snakes, performed magic tricks with electricity, and walked across waterfalls on tightropes, shattering taboos by performing in public. Betsy deftly explores how major forces in the long nineteenth century combined to create the uniquely American spectacle of the traveling circus. During the transformation of the circus from scrappy “mud shows” to a major international business, these extraordinary women challenged contemporary ideas of femininity, creating new possibilities for women far beyond the big top. Our guest is: Betsy Golden Kellem, who is a scholar of the unusual. She has served on the boards of the Barnum Museum and the Circus Historical Society, is the Emmy-winning host and writer of the Showman's Shorts video series on P.T. Barnum, and writes for JSTOR Daily. An expert media and intellectual property attorney, she has taught at Yale and the University of Connecticut, and regularly speaks on the weirder corners of history and law.

What kind of hymns would Lutherans have been singing in Germany before coming to America? Benjamin Kolodziej (Church Organist and Musicologist, author of Portraits in American Lutheran Sacred Music, 1847-1947 available from Concordia Publishing House) joins Andy and Sarah for Episode 4 of our series on Portraits in American Lutheran Sacred Music. Benjamin talks about the influence of rationalism on hymnody at this time, C.F.W. Walther's preferred style of singing, what would have been considered Lutheran hymns at this time, how Lutherans created a new hymn book, what congregational singing looked, and where we see the legacy of these opinions and practices today.

Today we look at a sonnet by Gerard Manley Hopkins that dwells equally in the grandeur of God and the wreck made of earth. Hopkins wonders how these two aspects of our world could possibly relate, and he holds out hope for the dearest freshness deep down things. God's Grandeur By Gerard Manley Hopkins The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
In this episode of STRAT with retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer, we examine the recent federal court decision in California that found the Trump Administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by deploying U.S. military forces for law enforcement duties. We break down what the Act actually says, why it exists, and how its restrictions have been shaped by modern exceptions including nuclear, counterdrug, and weapons of mass destruction emergencies. We also look at the Insurrection Act of 1807, the historical precedents for military involvement in domestic affairs, and the thirty times it has been invoked throughout American history. The ruling by Judge Charles Breyer against the Trump Administration is analyzed in detail, including its implications for federal versus state authority, national security, and constitutional separation of powers. Finally, we explore whether the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court could reverse this ruling—and what that means for future presidential authority.Takeaways:The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 restricts federal military involvement in civilian law enforcement.Modern exceptions include emergencies involving nuclear material, counterdrug missions, and WMD threats.In 2021, the Act was formally extended to cover all military branches, including the Navy and Marine Corps.The Insurrection Act of 1807 provides a major exception, invoked 30 times in U.S. history.Past uses of the Insurrection Act include Little Rock school desegregation, Selma marches, and the 1992 Los Angeles riots.Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Trump's use of Marines and the California National Guard in Los Angeles violated the law.The ruling blocks federal use of troops for policing without congressional authorization.The 9th Circuit Court and Supreme Court may ultimately decide the scope of presidential authority.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #PosseComitatus #InsurrectionAct #MilitaryLaw #CivilLiberties #NationalSecurity #FederalCourt #PresidentialPower #SeparationOfPowers #RuleOfLaw #MilitaryHistory #ConstitutionalLaw #FederalVsState #Marines #SupremeCourt #NinthCircuit #PublicPolicy
The concept of spiritual and moral hollowness that T.S. Eliot crystallized in "The Hollow Men" (1925) emerged from a crisis of meaning that had been building in Western consciousness since the mid-nineteenth century. While Eliot's immediate inspiration came from witnessing the spiritual devastation following World War I, the metaphor of human hollowness had deeper roots in the philosophical and literary traditions he inherited. The image appears to have first gained currency through Nietzsche's declaration of God's death and his warnings about the "last men;" all comfortable, mediocre beings who had lost all capacity for greatness or genuine feeling. But even before Nietzsche, we can trace intimations of this hollowness in Kierkegaard's analysis of the aesthetic life, where individuals flit from pleasure to pleasure without ever achieving authentic selfhood.
Part 1 of All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #078 The first American balloon flight took place from Philadelphia, as did the great balloon riot of 1819. Thaddeus Lowe, who has relatives at Laurel Hill East, was the man who introduced the balloon to American warfare when he helped guide Union troops from 500 feet above the earth during the Battle of Fair Oaks. Until replaced by spy planes in the 20th century, balloons were one of the best surveillance tools in warfare.

How did the vocation of "church musician" develop in the 19th century Missouri Synod? Benjamin Kolodziej (Church Organist and Musicologist, author of Portraits in American Lutheran Sacred Music, 1847-1947 available from Concordia Publishing House) joins Andy and Sarah for Episode 2 of our series on Portraits in American Lutheran Sacred Music. Benjamin talks about the vocation of teacher/musician, what Luther taught about the vocation of teacher and musician, the key figures in retaining this understanding, an introduction to Friedrich Lochner, and how musicians and teachers at this time shared valuable information about their profession.

Last show on the substandard mic - but the paper towel as popfilter helped some.Let's talk tea - what tea were people drinking in the early 19th century? The answer was almost uniformly, "bad tea". Ignorance lead to people needing sugar in their tea b/c they were drinking the bad stuff. In fact a whole grade of "export quality" tea was invented to fulfill the growing global/European/American demand. Just in this case - "expot quality" mostly meant the dregs. Or the dust anyway.Understanding that most tea Americans were drinking in this age was somewhere between stale and adulterated, and only became more so as time went on, the swing to coffee starts to make more sense. It had less to do with feelings towards England, and more to do with the tea just not tasting that good. To understand just what tea was then, join in...Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

As we now know, epidemics and pandemics are not new phenomena. In her new book The Yellow Demon of Fever: Fighting Disease in the 19th-Century Transatlantic Slave Trade (Yale University Press, 2020), Manuel Barcia offers a striking rendition of the diseases that swept through the illegal slave trade Atlantic World. In fact, Barcia argues that the history of disease and the story of continuing traffic in enslaved people despite the abolition of the slave trade are processes that must be understood together. Barcia demonstrates that in the 19th century Atlantic, quarantines were politicized, sworn enemies were forced to work together to combat disease, and the medical expertise of enslaved people often prevailed despite efforts to silence or ignore it.

In this compelling episode, historian James Prichard returns to explore a turbulent and often overlooked chapter in Kentucky history: the rise of vigilante justice in the late 1800s. As Kentucky struggled with post-Civil War lawlessness, economic transition, and rural isolation, citizens in several counties took the law into their own hands—forming vigilante groups that operated outside legal authority.https://linktr.ee/Kyhistorypod

To understand American history and its deep-seated relationship with violence, we must look to the last three decades of the 1800s in the American West, which had the highest murder rate per capita in American history. And it all boils down to one place: Texas. Texas was born in violence, on two fronts, with Mexico to the south and the Comanche to the north, and the invention of the Colt revolver only made the area wilder and less orderly. Across the nineteenth-century frontier defending one’s honor and reputation often resulted in duels and bitter feuds. After the cattle business boom, this sensation spilled into the greater West from Arizona to Wyoming to Kansas. The trigger-happy assortment of rustlers, hustlers, gamblers, and freelance lawmen, and their desire to defend their honor caught the eye of newspapers, igniting a firestorm of mythmaking. The word “gun-man” first appears in a newspaper in 1874, followed by an explosion of Western biographies and memoirs in the 1920s. 1940s-1950s Hollywood reimagined these gunfighters as leading men, introducing Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp to a new generation. Today’s guest is Bryan Burrough, author of “The Gunfighters: How Texas Made the West Wild.” We explore how only in the American West could gunfighters exist, and what led to the death of this unique period in time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tonight, author Stacy Horn returns to take us deep inside one of the most chilling institutions in American history—Blackwell's Island. Once hailed as a visionary experiment in humane care, it quickly devolved into a hellscape of madness, misery, and corruption.In her haunting book Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad and Criminal in 19th Century New York, Horn exposes the nightmarish reality behind the asylum walls—where the sick were abandoned, the poor punished, and the so-called insane subjected to unspeakable horrors. With voices lifted from long-buried archives, she brings to life the forgotten souls who endured it, and the few who dared to speak out, including the fearless Nellie Bly and a tormented reverend caught between compassion and chaos.This is not just a history—it's a descent into the shadows of a society that chose to look away.Unlock a world of mystery!Join our exclusive community and instantly access over 1,000 ad-free episodes, mind-blowing bonus segments, and much more.
