Great Locomotive Chase Soldiers Receive Posthumous Medals of Honor In 1863, the first U.S. Army Medals of Honor were awarded to soldiers from the Great Locomotive Chase during the Civil War. On Wednesday, the final two raiders, Privates George D. Wilson and Philip G. Shadrach, received their posthumous medals in a White House ceremony led by President Joe Biden. ***JOE BIDEN*** These Union volunteers seized a Confederate train near Big Shanty, Georgia, aiming to destroy rail lines and hinder Confederate supply routes. Disguised as civilians, they embarked on a daring 90-mile mission, only to be caught and later executed. Their bravery was long overlooked, but Civil War historian Brad Quinlin fought for over a decade to secure this honor. Here are family members of Privates Shadrach and Wilson on what the awards mean to their family: ***FAMILY MEMBERS*** Today, The General locomotive rests at the Southern Museum in Kennesaw, while The Texas is housed at the Atlanta History Center.

We head south to the Keenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center and their remarkable Cherokee Garden Library – named for the historic Cherokee rose, prevalent across the south.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Last week, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals allowed HB481, Georgia's “Heartbeat Bill”, to stand, based on the Dobbs ruling from the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The panel discuss what's next for the pro-life community and reproductive services in the state. Also, the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Burt Jones, has been asked to testify in the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's probe into January 6th and surrounding actions. Jones is one of 16 Republicans who served as an “alternate” presidential elector for Donald Trump in December 2020. All of them were recently subpoenaed by a special grand jury and informed by Willis's office that they could be indicted. Jones's attorneys are calling foul, citing a June fundraiser that Willis held for the now Democratic nominee Charlie Bailey's campaign at a Southwest Atlanta grocery store not long after the grand jury was seated, as well as a $2,500 donation she made to his campaign in January. Fair or foul? The panel discuss. Legal experts say the fake electors may have violated laws including election fraud and forgery statutes.

On this episode of the Hospitality Leaders podcast, I'm joined by Sheffield Hale, President and CEO of the Atlanta History Center. In recent years it seems that public discourse has become more uncivil, especially after two very stressful years of a pandemic. Sheffield often has an uncomfortably close look at this incivility, as Atlanta itself is a city rich in complex and often divisive history. Placing that sensitive subject matter into a hospitality setting, where difficult guests can be routine, would seem to be a recipe for disaster. Sheffield, however, uses his position to create the opportunity to return to a more civil culture. With strict rules for his guests about how to engage the staff and each other, buy-in from his team, and a robust support system for employees who are put in difficult situations, the Atlanta History Center is a place where the best parts of education and hospitality are allowed to shine. Sheffield makes himself available for constant feedback from his frontline workers, and has a zero-tolerance policy for guests who break the agreed-upon “Rules of Civility.” With such a well-constructed framework for dealing with difficult situations, Sheffield and his team are often able to stop incivility before it begins.

On this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast, Carl sits down with historian and heritage cook Mary Bohlen. She currently serves as President of the North Carolina Daniel Boone Heritage Trail. Here, members participate in preserving Boone's story, promoting the history of his era, and sharing both his legacy and heritage. Mary's passion for the outdoors goes all the way back to her adventures as a child, many of which involved cooking whatever nature offered that evening by the campfire. “Cooking on the fireplace,” Mary contends, “is a common denominator for drawing people.” She first entered the world of interpretive cooking in the mid-1980s when she enrolled in a day-long class at what was then called the Atlanta Historical Society (today known as the Atlanta History Center.) Mary often cooks at the Replica Daniel Boone Cabin at Whippoorwill Academy & Village, channeling Daniel's wife Rebecca whenever she does so. She says that putting herself in Mary's shoes, so to speak, brings the entire historical experience in that cabin to life like nothing else. Says Mary: “You can read about something in a book or look at pictures. But when you actually put your hands on it and go through the motions, there's a connection.” To her, it's a connection with a way of living that no longer exists, one which brings it back to the present and infuses meaning into the work in much the same way as those in the past found it meaningful.
