My guest this week is author Dan Gutstein, who joins me to chat about his book 'Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane'.The book traces the history of one of America's most recorded folk songs, from it's origins amongst enslaved people on southern plantations, through the Civl War and minstrelsy, to the folk revival and beyond. On its journey Little Liza Jane, and its variants, was performed and recorded by a huge range of artists, including Del McCoury, Nina Simone, Merle Travis, Doc Watson, Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte, Alison Krauss...and David Bowie.It's a fascinating subject, which could have filled several episodes!You'll find more info on Dan and the book (including links to buy a copy) at www.dangutstein.com/#/littlelizajaneThere's a great playlist of Liza Jane recordings on Spotify if you want to check out some of the versions we discuss in the episode.You'll also find info on the ongoing film project Dan talks about at www.lizajanemovie.comHappy picking!MattSend a message to Bluegrass Jam Along!

Ben is off reenacting the Civl War or something.. Geoff and Max hold it down. If YouTube tells you it's going to take 1/2 an hour, it'll probably take 2.  Lots of Kevin Kelly lines. Good Lowes vs Bad Lowes. Why is it a shower arm and not a shower neck?  Oh, and self-blame. *** [...]

Donald Trump just threw another wrench into his hush money trial. Attorneys for the former president are asking the judge to change the jury questionnaire only three days before selection is set to begin. Trump said he would take the stand. Plus, Vice President Harris hammers Republicans on the issue of abortion rights for women. A southwestern state is now the latest backdrop in the battle over reproductive rights with an extremely restrictive Civl War era law soon to take effect.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We are joined by James Early, the co-host of some of the best series on this show, including our Key Battles Series (World War One, the Civl War, the Revolutionary War) and Presidential Fight Club. James is here to discuss the War of 1812, a little war with a big impact. Although it was a sideshow for the British (that cared more about the Napoleonic Wars, which threatened its existence) and to the lesser extent the Americans (that couldn't bother to field a standing army up to the war), the War of 1812 forged post-Revolutionary American identity. It gave the United States a new boost of confidence, shored up its military power, and kick off the age of expansion that continued for the next century.Check out more of James's content on his Key Battles of American History Podcast.

War Yankee - Overland Overland.10: Bad Intelligence Discover the fate of Harry Wilson's cavalry division and why it was absent during the opening hours of the Battle of the Wilderness. Overview It's noon on May 5th, 1864 -- Greenhorn cavalry officer Brigadier General James Harrison "Harry" Wilson started the Overland Campaign with high expectations. Now, after a series of tactical shortcomings and conflicting orders, his actions have allowed rebel forces to approach the Union army almost undetected. To make matters worse, Wilson's entire cavalry division -- over 3,000 men and horses -- are missing. No one has seen or heard from Wilson since 5:00 AM. With the Orange Plank Road now engulfed by an endless column of Confederate infantry, Grant and Meade are desperate to know: Where the hell is Harry Wilson's Cavalry Division? Quotes "My pickets report nothing new from the enemy this morning." -- Brig.Gen.

The Freemasonic History of the United States VIII: 1880-1891 This is a preview clip to Part VIII Of the Freemasonic History of the United States. To access the full 14 hour episode become a subscriber to Media Roots Radio on Patreon @ www.patreon.com/mediarootsradio 20 years after the Civl War, save for a few rare instances of integration, Freemasonry across the country was still segregated into seperate black Prince Hall Lodges and causasian Blue Lodges. There was more recognition of black Prince Hall Freemasonry by the European grand lodges than there was from any white official Masonic body in the United States at this time. Particularly in the South, black Freemasons were not only up against an erasure of their Masonic charter by Southern white Masons but faced openly racist dehumanizing public deunciations from the highest white Masonic authorities in Mississipi and Missouri. Some Prince Hall Freemasons expressed their abolitionist views using militant rhetoric pre-Civil War and others like Moses Dickson would claim an army of hudreds of thousands of slaves trained in secret to rise up against all slave owners. Organizations that were Freemasonic in nature but were paralell to Prince Hall like the International Order of Twelve Knights of Tabor had now grown to 100,000 members and other organizations like the Moorish Science Temple of America were about to emerge; This is part of a larger in-depth history podcast series that covers the span of American Freemasonry and all of its associated occult and fraternal organizations from 1776 - 1900.

Alex speaks with four experts on the black Civil War experience from emancipation to the post-war years. We're celebrating Juneteenth with a comprehensive look at the history of the battles, the struggles and the ultimate triumph of the United States Colored Troops (USCT), as they were known during the Civil War. From the battle of Fort Wagner to the disaster of the Battle of the Crater and the Union victory at Fort Fisher that accelerated the end of the Confederacy. Alex analyzes the too often overlooked contributions of black soldiers that helped win the Civl War.. We sit down with Doug Egerton, author of the definitive book about the black soldiers in the Civil War, Thunder at the Gates (2016). Doug speaks to us about the pioneering 54th and 55th Massachusetts regiments, the first two all-black regiments in the Union Army. We look at the life and service of Ohioan, James Monroe Trotter in the 55th and his rise to being one of the first African American army officers in US History. Doug takes us through the importance of the Battle of Fort Wagner in 1863 and how it shatters the racist image of the black soldier. Buy Thunder at the Gates here... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKC3PJT We look at the experiences and bravery of the 5th and 27th USCT, the all-black Ohio USCT regiments. We're joined by authors and historians, Kelly Mezurek of Walsh University and Verb Washington from the University of Dayton. Both scholars take us inside the life of an all-black Civil War infantry regiment. The inequalities they faced when compared to the their white counterparts and their thrilling achievements on the battlefield from 1863-65. Both share the stories of two black Medal of Honor winners from Ohio, Robert Pinn and Milton Holland. As well as the black soldiers struggles and their impact on the broader civil rights battles of the 19th century.

This infamous battle is one of the most fascinating and disastrous days in the Union Army's history. Emmanuel looks at how the change of the battle plan involving black troops may have affected the outcome of the battle.

In I Remain Yours: Common Lives in Civil War Letters (Harvard University Press, 2018), Christopher Hager trains our attention to “the cell-level transfers that created the meaning of the Civl War.” He follows the correspondence of a group of soldiers, and their family members, many of whom had never written letters before in their life. These people were largely illiterate. They had to learn how to spell as they were trying to compose their thoughts on paper. Yet Hager leaves their letters ‘uncorrected.’ In their struggle to put their feelings and thoughts into words—a struggle we also feel in reading those words—the words themselves gain an immediacy and directness. They grow in importance for being chosen. The repetition of phrases throbs with feeling. The emotional dynamics of union and disunion—the fear of being forgotten, the assurance of love, no matter the soldier’s side in the war—congeal around individual words, phrases, even marks on the page. As they write, both soldiers and their family members realize that they’re at war together, tending to the relationships that comprise their everyday lives, and warding off the threats to them. Christopher Hager has previously explored the lives of ordinary Americans through their writing, including diaries kept by slaves. His first book, Word by Word: Emancipation and the Act of Writing, won the 2014 Frederick Douglass Prize for the best book of the year on the subject of slavery. Hager is Charles A. Dana Research Associate Professor of English at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut where he teaches courses in American literature and culture from the nineteenth century to the present. Michael Amico holds a PhD in American Studies from Yale University. His dissertation, The Forgotten Union of the Two Henrys: The True Story of the Peculiar and Rarest Intimacy of the American Civil War, is about the romance between Henry Clay Trumbull and Henry Ward Camp of the Tenth Connecticut Regiment. He is the author, with Michael Bronski and Ann Pellegrini, of “You Can Tell Just by Looking”: And 20 Other Myths about LGBT Life and People (Beacon, 2013), a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Nonfiction.
