Early America’s most important invention wasn’t Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod, or the cotton gin. It was the world's first fully automated flour mill, built by Oliver Evans in the 1780s. Evans's mill used a conveyor-belt grain elevator, leather straps, wheels, and Archimedean screws to process wheat from raw grain to finished flour without human hands touching it. Prior to Oliver Evans's automated system, milling relied on waterwheels or wind to turn heavy millstones, but every intermediate step required grueling manual labor to haul heavy grain sacks up ladders and shovel meal across floors. This invention ranks right below potatoes’ arrival in Europe or Haber-Bosch synthesis of nitrogen for fertilizer or Norman Borlaug’s dwarf wheat in making food cheaper. It also made America unique among nations in the world in that it never experienced a bread riot or mass executions of peasants stealing during a time of famine. It also shows how much we overlook the importance of bread in American history. Today's guest is Andrew Coe, author of American Bread: A History. We discuss how the Pilgrims nearly starved because they couldn't grow wheat in New England and were saved by a dense loaf of rye and cornmeal that became America's first national food, and how Sylvester Graham convinced thousands of Americans in the 1830s that white bread and sexual desire were destroying the nation. We look at industrialization of food that would culminate in Wonder Bread, and how Vietnam War protesters boycotted Wonder Bread while Zen Buddhists at a California monastery wrote the book that launched the modern whole-grain movement. Coe argues that the story of American bread is the story of America itself: a nation that learned to survive on unfamiliar grain, built an industrial system that stripped bread of everything worth eating, and is now slowly trying to rediscover what it lost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joshua Ruebl, author and occultist, joins Ryan to discuss the decline and hollowing out of western religious systems, compared with moral doctrines preserved in the east; how such things are externalized in the west as opposed to internalized in the east. Ryan and Joshua will discuss how ancient polytheistic or pagan systems were highly sophisticated and very scientific. Additionally, that "faith of fact" is the new "feelings over facts." How cultural Marxism is merely a symptom of the same psychosis plaguing religious schizophrenics: one sees racism everywhere and the other demons; one focuses on outward identity while the other on denominational identity; one apologizes for the past while another is ashamed of original sin; one is inherently anti-human and post-modern while the other rejects the true self.https://www.joshuaruebl.net/https://x.com/JRuebl47185*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Is it even realistic to think that Americans can wrestle control of their government away from foreign and domestic enemies that are not merely severely entrenched, but so successful in redirecting all resistance to other groups? Dr. Michael Rectenwald, author and the founder of AZAPAC (Anti-Zionist American Political Action Committee), joins Ryan to discuss the history, context, and confusion over Israeli occupation of the US Republic, including the rebranding of America as nothing but a colony of jewish supremacists. These issues transcend mere debated topics like AIPAC or even genocide, and get to the heart of what has caused countless civilizations to crumble. https://mrectenwald.substack.com/https://www.michaelrectenwald.com/biohttps://www.aza-pac.com/*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Americans are moving far less than they did in previous generations, and Gen Z may become the least mobile generation in American history. In the 1950s, about 20% of Americans moved each year. By 2019, that number had fallen to roughly 11%. Even more surprising, younger adults are more likely than older generations to say they have lived in the same local community their entire lives. Nearly half of those born in the early 2000s report never having moved from their local community. Ryan and Sam discuss how this trend also has implications for churches. People who stay rooted in one place appear somewhat more likely to remain connected to religious life than those who move away. Moving disrupts habits, relationships, and rhythms—including church attendance. For many dechurched people, the issue may not be a conscious rejection of faith, but the loss of a weekly rhythm after relocating. The post The Burge Report: Why Gen Z Might Be the Least Mobile Generation in American History appeared first on Church Answers.

Two of America's most recognizable historic landmarks sit just steps apart in Philadelphia, but how much do you really know about Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell?As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, we explore the history of Independence Hall, the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention, and the site forever connected to the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States.We also dig into the fascinating history of the Liberty Bell: its enormous size, famous inscription, how it got its name, and the surprising story behind that iconic crack.Along the way, we uncover some American history trivia involving George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, the Continental Army, the U.S. Postal Service, and even the appearances of Independence Hall on American currency.

Live from FinCon, Joe sits down with historian and bestselling author Joseph Moore, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer to talk about what's actually keeping people up at night: AI concentration in the stock market, inflation anxiety that won't fully fade, interest rates that feel "stuck," and a housing market that seems rigged against newcomers. The twist is that almost none of it is new. From a Scottish con man's fake country bonds to the 1830s stock that was over 30% of the entire market, to a refrigerator boom that happened during the Great Depression, this conversation uses 300 years of financial history to put today's anxieties in real perspective.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy "this time is different" has been true in every single era of financial history, and why that's actually reassuring, not alarmingThe real reason today's AI-heavy stock market concentration isn't as extreme as people fear, compared to genuine historical outliersWhy equal-weighted index funds tend to underperform market-weighted ones, and what that reveals about betting against your own winnersA fascinating historical parallel between AI infrastructure spending today and the railroad boom of the 1800s, and where that comparison breaks downWhy the fastest way to build real wealth during a technological boom is often working in the industry, not investing in itHow the "golden handcuffs" of low mortgage rates are quietly fueling a broader sense of economic pessimism, even during a strong economyWhy increasing your income is one of the few truly controllable levers in your financial life, and why it usually takes longer than people expectWhy This Matters NowEvery generation convinces itself that its economic moment is uniquely unprecedented, uniquely uncertain, uniquely dangerous. History suggests otherwise: markets concentrate around a handful of winners, technology booms take decades to actually change daily life, and financial anxiety tends to track personal experience more than actual data. None of that means today's concerns aren't real. It means the emotional weight of "this has never happened before" is usually misplaced, and understanding that can be the difference between panicking through a normal cycle and staying invested through one.Resources MentionedHow to Get Rich in American History by Joseph Moore — Joseph's USA Today bestselling book on 300 years of financial advice, what worked and what didn'tAfford Anything podcast — Paula Pant's showPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors podcast — Jesse Cramer's showMen Go To Mars — sponsor mentioned in the episodeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Benjamin Butler was one of the Civil War's most controversial figures. A failed battlefield commander who became “Beast Butler” in the South, helped turn escaped slaves into free people, ruled New Orleans with an iron hand, and later fought for Black civil rights in Congress.

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His eighth choice is The War of 1812, which was first released in January 2013. Melvyn Bragg and his guests discussed the conflict between America and the British Empire sometimes referred to as the second American War of Independence. In June 1812, President James Madison declared war on Britain, angered by the restrictions Britain had imposed on American trade, the Royal Navy's capture of American sailors and British support for Native Americans. After three years of largely inconclusive fighting, the conflict finally came to an end with the Treaty of Ghent which, among other things, helped to hasten the abolition of the global slave trade. Although the War of 1812 is often overlooked, historians say it had a profound effect on the USA and Canada's sense of national identity, confirming the USA as an independent country. America's national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner began life as a poem written after its author, Francis Scott Key, witnessed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore. The war also led to Native Americans losing hundreds of thousands of acres of land in a programme of forced removal.

Tonight, on this fact-finding, explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up:We'll examine the weaponization of the Department of Justice under President Trump and on how this impacts you, directly.This case is but one example of Donald Trump's vindictive, petty and small nature.  A man uniquely unqualified to be the President of The United States.This case is centered on the two-count federal indictment of the former FBI Director James Comey, who was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2026 for a social media post showing seashells on a North Carolina beach arranged to spell "86 47".Prosecutors claim the numbers implied a threat to kill President Donald Trump.The government purports that "86" means to get rid of or kill, and "47" represents Trump, the 47th president, according to the DOJ and its legal briefs.James Comey, through his legal team, maintains that he did not arrange the shells and that he encountered them while on vacation. Comey shared the display on an Instagram photo in May 2025.  Comey's attorneys filed motions in a North Carolina federal court asking the judge to dismiss the indictment with prejudice.His defense team's core arguments are that the Instagram photo of seashells spelling "86 47" is protected political speech under the First Amendment and does not constitute a "true threat".We'll examine what a “true threat” is and isn't.And we'll spend time with the 1st Amendment (reviewing the text to see what it exactly says). There is no doubt, the First Amendment is under extreme and intense attack from the Trump administration.—     We'll delve into what “selective prosecution” is — and as we investigate, we ask you, our dedicated listeners, if you think “selective prosecution” seems applicable in this specific case.—     And we'll ask if the grand jury process needs a “full-body-off restoration” for returning a true bill and indicting James Comey in this case.Do you think this is old news … or water under the bridge? I can assure you that it isn't!This is the kind of thing that can change your life in an instant.Everything you've ever thought about or hoped for a democracy can fly right out of the window when a dictator rules under a tyrannical regime and good people do nothing to stop it. When you lose rights that are supposed to be inalienable, rarely and I mean rarely are they ever restored.Under the law, a threat is a communicated intent to inflict physical harm, property damage, or other illegal injury upon another person.It causes the victim to feel a reasonable fear for their safety, separating a punishable crime from protected speech or general anger.The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech." The First Amendment is a cornerstone of American democracy. It allows us to express our views, challenge authority, and engage in public debate.In recent years, however, these freedoms have come under intense scrutiny; from debates over protests on college campuses to concerns about government retaliation against journalists and activists. Understanding what the First Amendment protects is more important than ever. Today, Americans face new challenges to free expression: increasing restrictions on the right to protest, to government censorship, and limits on free speech in schools and on campuses.Immigrants, students, and public employees have all faced threats to their rights, highlighting the need to stay informed about what the Constitution guarantees.The actions of the Trump administration have a profound chilling effect.In constitutional law the “chilling effect” describes how individuals self-censor protected speech or conduct out of fear of government prosecution, penalties, or retaliation.The criminal case against James Comey is likely to deepen concerns that the Justice Department is being weaponized in pursuit of investigations and now prosecutions of public figures the president regards as his political enemies.It was filed as the White House has taken steps to exert influence in unprecedented ways on the department, blurring the line between law and politics at an agency where independence in prosecutorial decision-making is a foundational principle. When a government uses its power to target private citizens for revenge, it damages the core rules of a free society. This behavior:—     breaks public trust,—     weakens the rule of law,and …—     shifts a nation away from democracy and toward authoritarian rule.At the end of the day, a democracy doesn't die in total darkness — it dies in broad daylight, piece by piece, when the law is twisted into a weapon for personal score-settling. The stakes couldn't be higher for James Comey and for each of us, by extension.We speak the truth, protect the vulnerable and always pursue justice.Don't move a muscle!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

The Author Events Series presents Jill Lepore | The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State In Conversation with Tamala Edwards Meelya Gordon Endowed Lecture Montgomery Auditorium is now sold out. We have opened a rush line for anyone interested in purchasing Auditorium tickets at the door for $5. Please register for the rush line. Inspired by Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism, which argued in 1951 that the machinery of modern life was reshaping the very fundamentals of human existence, Lepore, profoundly disturbed by the technology revolution and by the soulless inundation of artificial intelligence, unfurls a new history for our own twenty-first century. Building on an essay in The New Yorker in 2024, Lepore's clarion call traces our increasing dependence on and strangulation by data. Political campaigns, awash in an avalanche of fake bots, have been reduced to attention-mining algorithms, while multinational media corporations dictate public discourse, and the era of the liberal nation-state seems to be coming to a rapid end, replaced by billionaire technocrats reliant on autocracy and the tools of AI. With Orwellian overtones, The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State demonstrates how technology has corroded global democracy, leading to the destruction of both human community and capacity for self-government, creating a new form of AI government, a digital citizen's assembly, where AI will recommend the course of action to humans in place of human-run legislatures. Especially sobering with this proliferation of "dizzying, ever-changing schemes, prophesies, and predictions" is that the Artificial State has come at the expense of the natural world, leading to catastrophic loss of wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Deliberately alarming, The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State, despite its abundance of dire facts, is not a funeral dirge; rather, it's an inspiring wake-up call, written in Lepore's typically elegiac prose, which demonstrates that nothing about the Artificial State was inevitable, for it is a "government without consent, even government without humans." It can, Lepore asserts, be dismantled. Other heinous systems, like feudalism, fascism, and slavery, have also been dismantled, but disassembly requires identifying the parts, tracing the sources. It requires telling a new history. This is the purpose of The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State.  Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University, professor of law at Harvard Law School, and a staff writer at The New Yorker. Her many books include the New York Times bestsellers These Truths and We the People. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Tamala Edwards joined 6abc in January of 2005. She is the weekday co-anchor of Action News Mornings from 4 a.m to 7 a.m. and is a regular co-host of Inside Story, conducting probing interviews with newsmakers like Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Bob Casey, Mayor Michael Nutter and others, as well as moderating many election debates. Prior to joining 6abc, Tamala Edwards was the anchor of ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning.

One man's god is another man's demon. We recently learned that Kash Patel has removed bestiality as an automatic disqualification for a job at the FBI. Then the tweets began, accusing Indians of embracing bestiality. But the Hindu scriptures and laws are explicit in condemning the act, and issuing punishment. Others are angry that Hanuman, a monkey icon representing selflessness, learning, loyalty, etc., being built in Texas or the massive Swaminarayan Akshardham temple constructed in New Jersey. What happened to religious freedom, liberty, and the embracing of what Hanuman represents. Besides, Hinduism is the world's third largest religion. It maintains belief in Samsara, Karma, Dharma, Atman, and Moksha, respectively representing eternal life, a watchful moral eye, the soul, cosmic law or the divine plan, and salvation. Hindus, under a different name, maintain the trinity and deify the Creator as Brahman. It appears that faith matters more than facts, just as recently feelings mattered more than the same. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. Subscribe to remove ads.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Lee Knapp, author of the book I'm History ... but do I repeat myself? Lee Knapp is a lifelong Virginian and is steeped in its history. She grew up in Richmond, attended college at William and Mary in Colonial Williamsburg, and now lives in rural Louisa near Charlottesville. Lee spent her career as a high school history teacher, an entrepreneur and artist around all things ceramic, a copywriter and editor, a proprietor of a tourist home, sometimes called an Airbnb, and of course, an author.   In my book review, I stated I'm History ... but do I repeat myself is a memoir by Lee Knapp. We follow Lee from a young girl to retirement and watch all the iterations in between. Along the way, we also see the change in Richmond, Virginia, her old alma mater, and the world at large.   Lee tackles tough subjects. Is it okay to love and respect someone despite some of the things they believe? Do cultural differences really make people different? Can new versions of old things be as good as the the original? Are we making history or is history making us?   This was an interesting story that looks not only at her own life, but weaves in historical context as well. No doubt, I would have enjoyed being in one of her history classes.   If you like a good memoir that makes you think about your beliefs, then this is the book for you.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Lee Knapp Website: https://imhistorybook.com/ Substack: @leeknapp IG: @leeknapp1 LinkedIn: Lee Knapp   Purchase I'm History ... but do I repeat myself? on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4bFBHCj Ebook: https://amzn.to/4g8RFpV   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Twenty-five years after September 11, retired United Airlines Captain Charlie Peterson shares a story most people have never heard: hours after the attacks, with US airspace grounded and fighter jets in the sky, Charlie volunteered to fly a plane carrying United's emergency response team toward the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania — not knowing just how closely his own aircraft would be watched along the way. It's a quiet, remarkable account of an ordinary pilot doing the job he was trained for on the most extraordinary day of his career.

What if everything you've been told about getting ahead financially isn't actually true? In this Level Up episode, Lo sits down with historian, investor and bestselling author Dr. Joseph S. Moore, whose book How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't) looks at what centuries of American history can teach us about building wealth today. They unpack why buying a home isn't always the smartest investment, what the ultra-wealthy understand about money that the rest of us often don't, why women may actually be better investors, and the surprising story of a First Lady whose financial moves deserve a place in the history books.Lo and Joseph come to the table with very different views on capitalism, inequality and the economy, but what starts as a conversation between two opposing perspectives becomes something much more interesting. From crypto and get-rich-quick schemes to the American Dream, economic anxiety and the cycles America has survived before, this episode asks whether looking backward might actually be the secret to moving forward. Turns out you can disagree about capitalism, learn a few things from each other…and somehow leave as friends.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Lisa Boothe sits down with Jeannette Pick, who was just nine years old when her father, Joseph Pick, was killed in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Jeannette recounts the unimaginable experience of being at school in Hoboken, New Jersey, and watching the second plane strike the tower where her father was working on the 94th floor. She shares her memories of her dad—from playing football and tennis together to his love of comic books—and describes how those few minutes on September 11, 2001, have remained with her throughout her life. “For the country it’s once a year, but we all live it every day,” Jeannette tells Lisa, explaining why the anniversary remains so personal for the families of the 2,977 victims and why she believes future generations must continue learning about what happened that day. Jeannette also discusses her participation in a recent press conference involving 9/11 families who object to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attending the 25th anniversary ceremony. She explains that her objection is based on what she describes as his associations with individuals who have minimized or justified the attacks, while making clear that Mamdani himself had nothing to do with 9/11. Mamdani has separately said he intends to commemorate the victims and has participated in events honoring those killed in the attacks. Visit change.org/911ceremony Above all, this is a conversation about a daughter remembering her father—not simply as a victim of 9/11, but as the dad who loved comic books, cheeseburgers, slushies and spending time with his little girl.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Washington’s most extraordinary achievement was not winning the Revolutionary War or helping found a new nation. It was something far rarer: He gave up power, twice. First, when he resigned his command after victory. Then again, when he stepped down as president, establishing a precedent no law required and no force could compel. In an age dominated by kings and emperors, Washington chose restraint, and in doing so, he helped define the American experiment.There’s really no comparison to what Washington did, except for Byzantine General Belisarius and Roman general Cincinnatus. After being granted absolute dictatorial authority to rescue an encircled Roman army, Cincinnatus held it for only 15 days, and immediately resigned his office to return to his small farm across the Tiber. Belisarius was offered the Western Roman imperial crown by the Ostrogoths in 540 but claimed the city for Emperor Justinian, and surrendered command to return home. Washington’s renunciation was harder because, unlike Cincinnatus and Belisarius, he had no emperor above him or proven institutional framework to enforce his departure, instead walking away twice when his own unpaid, loyal army actively urged him to seize supreme power over a fragile, untested nation. Today’s guest is Richard Lim, author of “Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World.” We place Washington’s decisions within the sweeping Western shift from monarchy to republic, showing why that transition was anything but inevitable. After all, From Napoleon to Simón Bolívar, revolutionary leaders across the world found themselves compared unfavorably to the American who walked away from power. We see why Washington walking away from power was the most important moment in early American History.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are told to remember 911 as part of an annual magical-psychological ritual. From twin towers of balance to the lighting on fire of a pentagram (pentagon), and from the Big Apple to the fall of man in the Garden, 911 is as occult as the infamous pandemic, with its tribute altars, talisman-masks, and religious medical garb. After more than two decades, any belief that the events were blowback for American actions in the Middle East has been labeled far-left extremism as a result of the "Teaching Beyond 911 Project," which itself appears to be more Israeli meddling. But what if both extremist political views were wrong? What if 911 was more than terrorism, politics, and even religion; what if it was about insider trading, money laundering, and industrial scale theft?Although one guest did not show up, Richard Gage joins us for a segment on building 7 https://richardgage911.org*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

My guest today owns land on the moon.And somehow, that is not even the most interesting thing about his approach to money.Joseph Moore is a historian and professor who spent years studying how Americans have tried to get rich over the last 300 years — from land speculation and market bubbles to stocks, crypto and today's biggest investment trends.And after all that research, he came to a pretty provocative conclusion: a lot of the financial advice we hear over and over again may not actually be the best way to build wealth.So Joseph decided to test history for himself. He created a cryptocurrency. He systematically shorted Jim Cramer's stock picks. He studied how investors behaved through centuries of booms and busts — and used some of those lessons in his own portfolio.Along the way, he became a millionaire.His new book is How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (and Didn't).Today, we're talking about what 300 years of history can teach us about getting rich, why he says diversification alone won't make you wealthy, how to recognize hype before it's too late, and the money advice he thinks far too many of us blindly follow.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand.

Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
