Even before her explosively popular Substack Letters from an American, which has grown to more than two million subscribers since it began in 2019, historian Heather Cox Richardson was an important voice in discussions around post-Civil War American history. The author of seven books, Richardson's writing has focused on race, economics, and political ideology, including the story of the Republican Party and the Wounded Knee Massacre.  Most recently, she published the book Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America, a  deep dive into how a small group of wealthy people pushed the government towards authoritarianism, and how understanding the real history of America's most marginalized people can help us move back towards a real democracy.  On September 19, 2024, Heather Cox Richardson came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an on-stage conversation with Steven Winn. 

Step into the dusty boots of Major General Grenville Dodge as we venture into the heart of the post-Civil War American frontier, where securing the wild plains was as treacherous as it was vital. Our episode, guided by an esteemed historian, captures the essence of life at Fort Dodge, the strategic military stronghold pivotal in taming the Western Kansas frontier. Hear about the soldiers' grueling efforts to build safe havens amidst hostile territory, and how these fortifications laid the groundwork for a period of American history rife with conflict and transformation.Witness the volatile relationship between the US military and the Plains Indian tribes through vivid tales of raids and the powerful leaders who orchestrated them. We unravel the complexities of Indian diplomacy with a spotlight on Kiowa Chief Satanta's influence, his storied battle gear, and the intense negotiations over captive settlers—a sobering reality faced by those like Mary Matthews, whose personal account brings a gripping perspective to these historical standoffs. Each narrative strand weaves a rich tapestry of the struggles and strategies that defined the wild, untamed West, making this episode a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the era where legends were forged on the frontier.Support the showReturn of the Great HuntersCattle Drives WebsiteLegends of Dodge City WebsiteOrder Books

Welcome to 2024, Void! It's a new year, and that means it's Erin's birthday, and as we all know, that entails gangs and blood! This week we discuss Martin Scorsese's 2002 film, "Gangs of New York." This film has everything: politics, firefighter duels, immigration, slums, and SOME horses. Brennan gets cursed by a doll, Cameron Diaz is the Keanu Reeves of this movie, and Daniel Day-Lewis scares the DAYLIGHTS out of us with his one eye (see what we did there?)  Erin and Brennan dust off their nerdy skills (did we even allow enough time for dust to settle?) and breakdown Civil War American history as it is depicted in this film. Also we get 5 minutes of Liam Neeson, YAY!!

This show features local Denver comedians in a space where they can say whatever they want, and we are not a success until we have someone lose their job at SNL. This week on the podcast we have two local crushers, Jeff Nelson & Ali Kareem. Opening with Jeff getting outraged, we reminisce on licking CD's and discuss beating people up at the arcade. Evan performs his opening Haiku, White people ruin everything (pumpkins and Jazz), and Dylan explains how parental lies have an expiration date. We decide Mr. Unlimited is inhuman, Ali finally joins the pod and explains how hand sanitizer got in his eyes. Evan reads some inspirational quotes, and it inspires Ali to share some Arabic proverbs. We watch Ali's Heckler video, with him breaking down the interaction, we do a segment of Favorite Conspiracy, & highlight a good dad from Baghdad. Evan reads a few news stories, we watch a politician's adult film, A woman fights eviction with a swarm of bees, and Evan tells an interesting piece of Civil War American history. We fall a bit into a Juice Box rabbit hole, Ali compliments Jeff, Ali tells us a few vail stories (almost beating people up, murder investigations and a literal get out of jail free card). Jeff explains the Zoltar scandal, Evan provides some Kansas City facts written by a garbage comedian, and Jeff explains what it means to get "The Full Nelson Experience". The episode ends with Ali coming up with a podcast idea that Evan did over a year ago, and we do another tenant from the 420 code. Throughout the show, we break down jokes, tell stories from the local scene and discuss all of the important things happening all around the world.

Are We in a Cold Civil War? American Thought Leaders from EpochTV. American Thought Leaders Are We in a Cold Civil War?: David Reaboi on ‘Elite Mentality,' Concepts of Justice, and the Left's ‘Self-Radicalizing Ice Cream Cone'  Oct 05 2022   On this episode of American Thought Leaders, I sat down with Claremont Institute fellow David Reaboi at the National Conservatism Conference in Florida to discuss the broader impact that progressive ideology is having on America. “We're seeing the necessary consequence of, let's say, ‘radical left thought' over the last 50 years really in full bloom,” says Reaboi. “We're living in a place now, or an America now, where the most grave threat to our lives and liberties come not from a foreign country, but from our own government.” We discuss a host of topics, from the roots of conspiracy theories, to the redefining of the concept of justice, to the pitfalls of urban planning. “The conservative movement needs to sit down and address what urbanism looks like in a way that is not a kind-of free-market, post-Cold War, fundamentalist libertarian, free for all … Walgreens and Starbucks and Orangetheory lining the streets of every city,” says Reaboi.

Great Crossings: Indians, Settlers, and Slaves in the Age of Jackson (Oxford, 2017) is a dramatic and vibrant story of a little-known Kentucky school, the Choctaw Academy. Christina Snyder, McCabe-Greer Professor of History at Penn State University, argues that this short-lived institution represented both the promise of a multi-ethnic American society, as well as the withering of that dream during the era of Jacksonian Democracy and Indian Removal. Snyder presents several characters, including the Choctaw scion Peter Pitchlynn, the enslaved nurse and sometime-plantation overseer Julia Chinn, and her mate and master, Vice President Richard M. Johnson. Each person’s story (as well as several others) underscores the complicated hierarchies of race and class in antebellum America, as their histories intertwine with that of the Choctaw Academy and its students. Winner of the 2018 Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians, Great Crossings is a richly told and thickly researched tale that upends simple narratives of pre-Civil War American society, Native nations, and enslaved people. In their place, Snyder tells of complex humans acting by turns graciously and selfishly, with cruelty and with kindness, as the diverse population of the antebellum American West fumbled its way into the modern era. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.

This week author Joel Moore and I will be joined by fillm maker Dorian Walker. Dorian wrote and directed the movie American Drummer Boy, a very spended look at the role played by children in the Civil War. During the Civil War, boys considered too young to fight were allowed to enlist as Musicians or Telegraph Operators.  The principle Musician position needed to be filled was Drummer.  The Drum was used by both the North and South to communicate commands in camp as well as on the battlefield.  Although initially considered a non-combatant role, it was the Drummer that was on the battlefield signaling orders to engaged troops through the various drum calls.  It has been estimated that 40,000 young boys served the North while 20,000 the South.  When not drumming, these boys served their various camps by carrying water, cooking, gathering wood, rubbing down horses and after a battle, they assisted in carrying wounded soldiers off the battle field.

You probably know what the Underground Railroad is—you know, the network of secret routes and safe houses set up in antebellum America and used by African-American slaves (with the help of abolitionists and allies) to escape into free states and Canada. But how did it work? How far apart were these slave houses? Five miles, twenty miles, or more? And how did abolitionists help the escaped slaves? Did they provide them food and shelter and send them on their way, or did they personally guide them? And what happened if a slave or Underground Railroad “conductor” got caught? Here to tell us one of the most amazing jailbreak stories in pre-Civil War American history is Gary Jenkins, a retired Kansas City police officer. He tells us about the capture, incarceration, trial and rescue of Dr. John Doy. In 1859, twelve free African-Americans asked Lawrence Kansas leading citizens to help them flee north to escape being captured and sold into slavery. Dr. John Doy and his son, Charles Doy volunteered to go on this dangerous mission. His book, The Immortal 10, tells this exciting story of the slave trade in Missouri though the eyes of Dr. Doy.

Following the Civil War American's attention turned to the "civilizing" and "reclamation" of the arid West. How the trans-continental railroad and the gold rush of 1849 laid the groundwork for the rise of Western political power and set the stage for a century of contradictory anti-Federal political animus in Western states.
