Have you ever thought how we got here - that farm land is all AWAY and houses are all in close?That products come to you... and packaging is often more important than the thing inside?That didn't happen over night. The fact that farms are there, house are here, and manufacturing stuff is a third place altogether is not an accident. Instead it's something that has been developing in America for about 200 year.To see WHY you don't have neighborhood farms - as well as why things like setting up local recycling centers and other things that make stuff is hard - listen in to how the roots of segregated land use ties back to the early railroad.I mean... maybe a local goat and donkey pasture wouldn't be such a bad thing?Anyway - more Pea Patches...!But also understand why modern American Farms Markets will always have food from hundreds of miles away.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Conceived as the most modern, humane incarceration facility the world had ever seen, New York's Blackwell's Island, site of a lunatic asylum, two prisons, an almshouse, and a number of hospitals, quickly became, in the words of a visiting Charles Dickens, "a lounging, listless madhouse." Digging through city records, newspaper articles, and archival reports, Stacy Horn tells a gripping narrative through the voices of the island's inhabitants. We also hear from the era's officials, reformers, and journalists, including the celebrated undercover reporter Nellie Bly. And we follow the extraordinary Reverend William Glenney French as he ministers to Blackwell's residents, battles the bureaucratic mazes of the Department of Correction and a corrupt City Hall, testifies at salacious trials, and in his diary wonders about man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad and Criminal in 19th Century New York (Algonquin Books, 2019) shows how far we've come in caring for the least fortunate among us--and reminds us how much work still remains. Stacy Horn shows that in setting up institutions for the humane treatment of social outcasts, New York City was so quickly overwhelmed by the sheer numbers confined to the Insane Asylum, Workhouse, Almshouse, Penitentiary and Hospital, that what emerged was a veritable gulag on Blackwell's (now Roosevelt) Island. Based on a careful reading of both remarkably candid official documents detailing widespread suffering and accounts by the intrepid undercover reporter Nellie Bly and the socially prominent Josephine Shaw Lowell, we come to appreciate the long shadow of history cast over the city's remaining island of the damned—Rikers.

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.
What happens when you grow more cows to make more milk to make more cheese and butter?You end up with more oxen that can't make milk - but are useful as a source of beef.And this works out well when you are living in a society that craves more meat, and are in a place with apparently wide open spaces that are just fine for feeding said cattle.A bonus when you have lots of growing industries that are willing to buy beef from you to feed their growing ambitions - whaling, the railroad, new factories, a military pushing out the borders...And then... you also have new technologies to cook the beef, and have come up with new flavors for seasoning the beef.The result - American is ready to become a beefy country.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
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.

On the afternoon of September 6, 1848, the progressive Rabbi Avraham Kohn (1807-1848) of Lemberg (Lvov in Polish) in Austrian Galicia, was poisoned to death. Who assassinated him? What were their motives? With the Austrian takeover of Galicia following the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, the ancient, large and prestigious Jewish communities of that region experienced seismic changes. Lvov was the largest and most prominent Jewish community in all of Galicia. In this large urban center, many factions within the Jewish community arose in the early decades of the 19th century. When the minority progressive faction imported a rabbi from Austria and installed him as rabbi of their temple in 1843, tensions rose, and the Orthodox elite establishment, as well as the Orthodox majority of the community were vehemently opposed to his arrival. Well beyond the tragic story of a murder, this sad saga opens a window into the dynamics of a community in transformation during the confrontation with modernity in the 19th century.

Michael Tait. Robert Morris. Mark Driscoll. Ravi Zacharias. Are you tired of celebrity preachers? I am, and I think that's why the story of John Dyer fascinates me. My guess is that you've never heard of him. But I have come to learn that he played a significant role in the spread of the Gospel in Colorado and throughout the Mountain West, and his life has some lessons for us today, especially in this age of celebrity. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
Welcome to this episode in the new series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally. In this episode, Dr Hannah-Rose Murray talks about her research into Black American activism in Britain and Ireland during the long nineteenth century. Dr Hannah-Rose Murray is an interdisciplinary historian researching the Black freedom struggle in the US and Britain at the University of Suffolk. She is currently working on two monographs, both due to be published with Liverpool University Press, entitled Daguerrotyped on My Heart: African American Visual and Literary Cultures in 19th Century Britain and Feelings of Rebellion: Black Autobiography in Britain, 1850-1877. You can follow along with the conversation about this podcast by using the hashtag #LocalHistoryMatters, and keep up to date with the work the BALH does by visiting our website https://www.balh.org.uk/ or following us on social media @BALHNews.

So you are a typical early 19th Century American type... Is there a dairy scene? Yes.But are you drinking milk? Maybe... and probobly only for breakfast.Ok... but is it Raw Milk? Most likely not.In the early 19th century, most milk products were at least heated (cheese) or outright cooked - almost everything else - or downright boiled - your breakfast milk.Funny thing is, Americans have retained their passion for boiled milk at breakfast. We just flavor it with coffee and tea now.For more on this and how the evolution of the American Barn got us ready to have Milk Runs on trains, listen in.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

The Bouliler brothers are emblematic figures of banditry amidst a backdrop of economic struggle and social change. Hasan Bulli, a Turkish Cypriot from Paphos, became a legendary folk hero in Cyprus in the late 19th century. Often compared to American outlaws like Jesse James, he gained notoriety for his bold actions and was remembered through songs and tales long after his death. His life changed after his love for Emete, his uncle's wife, and a conflict with a fellow outlaw, Hayreddin. After a failed ambush attempt on Hayreddin—who had allegedly harassed Emete—Hasan was framed and sentenced to prison for a crime he denied committing. Hasan was convicted and fled to the mountains, where he spent 18 months as a fugitive. His brothers Kaymakam and Hüseyin also became fugitives after being accused of murder. They formed a gang and operated in the mountains until 1896 where they were ultimately captured and killed. But who were the Bullis? And how do we separate fact from fiction? Through a balanced lens, Professor Mehmet Demiryürek (Hitit University) examines the reality behind the legends, exploring the socio-economic conditions of the period, the Bouliler's deeds and misdeeds, and their enduring impact on modern Cypriot memory.

As odd as it sounds, there was a time in American Food before oatmeal.And while that's wild on it's own, even more impossible to imagine is how much of agriculture used to be dedicated simply to growing food to feed the animals that allowed you to run the farm. Having solar panels and biodigesters to create power on the farm now is pretty wild... but it wasn't that long ago, all things considered when all the energy used on a farm was grown... on the farm!But it does help put into perspective how much energy it took to simply grow enough food for the farm - and then a little more to sell. The surplusses we have now - simply NOT possible.To learn about the origins of 40 acres and a Mule - no the earlier origins... and how 160 acres would become the standard for American farms, tune in, and marvel at the idea of the oatmeal raisin cookie - and how far away it is from it's high end hose food origin.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com Threads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

The Grim Reaper: Funeral and Mourning Customs in the 19th Century Recorded live on 3/20/2025 5:30pm in Ballroom E Our spectacular hosts are Madame Perry, Tracy Chan, and Beverly Stuart. Our panel will take a deep dive into all the things you ever wanted to know about death in Victorian times but were afraid to ask! Death was considered an ordinary part of life back in the day. Most people died at home and were buried fairly quickly and close by. Preserving the body became popular during the Civil War with the development of embalming. Mourning customs were very specific – what you could wear, and for how long, and for whom (parents, spouses, children all had different mourning periods). Photographing the departed was also commonly done. And then there were the fake mediums, charlatans who proclaimed they could summon the dead by staging seances (and ripping off grieving people). please check out these awesome folks online: Madame Perry, and Madame Perry's Salon at: https://www.facebook.com/madameperryssalon madameperry@lonewolfcomm.net madameperry@lonewolfcomm.net https://x.com/madameperry Tracy Chan, an awesome Blogger, Cosplayer and photographer at https://www.facebook.com/chant808 https://www.nightfoxphoto.com/ https://x.com/chant808 Beverly Stuart. an amazing Cosplayer, Crafter and Photographer https://www.flickr.com/photos/branabev/ https://www.facebook.com/beverly.stuart.9 Thank you Wild Wild West Con Guests, Staff, Volunteers and Panelists for an amazing Con and weekend full of new and old friends and Con family!

In its attempt to end birthright citizenship, the Trump administration has cited a 19th century lawsuit that denied U.S. citizenship to Native Americans. The president’s executive order has been blocked by multiple federal judges, and his use of Elk v. Wilkins to justify the order is generally deemed invalid by legal scholars. But the use of the lawsuit has raised concerns over immigration enforcement in some Indigenous communities, even though Native Americans were granted citizenship in 1924. Nazune Menka is an assistant professor of law and director of the Center for Indian Law and Policy at Seattle University. She joins us to share more about Elk v. Wilkins and the lasting impact it’s had on relations between tribal and federal governments.

In the 1700s and early 1800s scientists from Europe and the Americas were studying what they called "race science," a pseudoscientific field of study promoting the idea that humans could be divided into separate and unequal races. Biases stemming from race science have influenced medicine for hundreds of years, and still have deadly consequences today. In this episode of Tiny Matters, we tackle some of these consequences, where they get their roots, and what people like our guest — physician and science communicator Joel Bervell — are doing to raise awareness and incite change.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.

From All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #073, part 1 The United States tried very hard to not have a Navy. It wasn't until the early 19th century that congress realized the need for a fighting force on the water. Capture of American merchant ships by the Barbary pirates and corsairs with letters of marque forced congress to release funds to fortify the Navy. Eventually the United States Navy was second only to the Royal Navy of England. Commodore Isaac Hull was captain of the USS Constitution when it defeated RMS Guerriere in the War of 1812. Commodore David Conner worked with Army General Winfield Scott to arrange the massive successful amphibious landing at Veracruz during the Mexican American War, which led directly to the taking of Mexico City a few months later. Rear Admiral Sylvanus William Godon spent his life in the Navy and while a member of the African Squadron captured the slave ship Erie which led to the hanging of its skipper Nathaniel Gordon, the only man executed by the government for being in the slave trade. Admiral George Melville was another Navy lifer. After he led a group back to civilization in the aftermath of the wreck of the SS Jeanette, he stayed in long enough to reach the rank of admiral. All four of these men are buried at Laurel Hill East.

Send us a textAffordable literature changed America forever. In 1860, a publishing revolution began when Beadle's Dime Novels introduced inexpensive, accessible fiction to the masses. For just ten cents, readers could escape into thrilling frontier adventures, border romances, and historical tales set during pivotal moments in American history.These humble orange-covered pamphlets achieved something remarkable – they democratized reading. When titles like "Malaeska, the Indian Wife of the White Hunter" sold over 300,000 copies, they weren't just bestsellers; they represented a fundamental shift in how Americans consumed stories. With typical sales between 35,000-80,000 copies per issue (when traditional hardcovers sold far fewer), dime novels created the first truly mass market for fiction in the United States.The format evolved over decades, expanding beyond Beadle's original series to encompass story papers, nickel weeklies, and various forms of inexpensive serialized fiction published between 1860-1930. These publications didn't merely entertain – they helped forge a shared national narrative during America's formative years. At the Wild West Podcast, we're passionate about reviving this literary tradition for contemporary readers. We're reimagining these captivating tales with modern sensibilities while honoring their historical significance and adventurous spirit. Want to experience these illustrated stories yourself?

Prior to their exodus west, nearly 90,000 converts journeyed across the seas to join the saints in America. In this episode Fred E. Woods, professor of Church history and doctrine, details the faith and immigration experiences of these saints as he discusses his recent publication Ports to Posts: Latter-day Saints Gathering in the Nineteenth Century. Professor Woods explores the port of Liverpool, England, the main point of embarkment for many converts, examines sailing conditions across the Atlantic for converts and non-converts alike, and details the arrival of these early pioneers into American harbors and the various posts they made contact with along the way. In addition to exploring how these converts gathered unto Zion, Professor Woods shares why so many members left their homelands to “be gathered in unto one place” (Doctrine & Covenants 29:7).

Breht listens to, reflects on, and critically engages with a public lecture by the late philosopher Michael Sugrue entitled "Nietzsche and the Death of God". He discusses the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, the politics of modern day Nietzscheans, the death of god and consumer capitalism as a form a nihilism, the ongoing nature of human civilizational and spiritual evolution, the biography of Nietzsche, what the next step of human evolution might be, the synthesis of religion and science, scientific and ontological materialism, the limits of atheism, the importance of spiritual struggle, and much more. Professor Sugrue passed away last year, and Breht has always found his free, public lectures on philosophy to be helpful and really well done. In the spirit of free and open access to education, Breht offers his knowledge of philosophy alongside this offering by Professor Sugrue. The use of this lecture series falls under the protections of the Fair Use doctrine.
