Peter Drummey, chief historian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, joins WBUR to talk about Evacuation Day.
For decades New Yorkers celebrated Evacuation Day every November 25, a holiday marking the 1783 departure of British forces from the city they had occupied for several years during the Revolutionary War.The events of that departure -- that evacuation -- inspired annual celebrations of patriotism, unity, and a bit of rowdiness. Evacuation Day was honored well until the late 19th century. But then, gradually, the party sort of petered out.....Of course, Americans may know late November for another historically themed holiday – Thanksgiving, a New England-oriented celebration that eventually took the place of Evacuation Day on the American calendar. But we are here to tell you listener – you should celebrate both!Greg and Tom tell the story of the British's final years in their former colonies, now in victory known as the United States, and their final moments within New York City, their last remaining haven. The city was in shambles and the gradual handover was truly messy.And then, on November 25, 1783, George Washington rode into town, basically traveling from tavern to tavern on his way down to the newly freed city. The Bowery Boys chart his course (down the Bowery of course) and make note of a few unusual events -- wild parties, angry women with brooms, and one very lucky tailor.PLUS: Where and how you can celebrate Evacuation Day today.

My heart is still in Maui. My son and I were in Maui at the time of the tragic devastation of the wildfires. It was moment to moment touch and go on the day of departure. We were incredibly fortunate to evacuate unharmed. The last few days have been filled with grief, sadness and disbelief […] Continue reading...
Just a quick bonus episode, so I can tell you about a change to my personal life and what it means for the show.

It's March 16th. Today we mark Evacuation Day (technically the 17th), a day in which Boston marks the retreat of troops during the Revolutionary War. Over the years, the holiday has been combined and conflated with St. Patrick's Day, making it the most Boston of holidays. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why the holiday gained traction in the first part of the 20th century — and why in the last decade or so it's receded a bit. Sign up for our newsletter!

Situated right in the middle of the bullshit "days" in March, between Pi Day and Evacuation Day (for all you Bostonian dirtbags out there), sits the Ides of March. Danny and Kevin therefore thought it timely to discuss a show they have both watched but not really talked to each other about: Rome. Rome is an excellent historical drama that aired on HBO from 2005-2007, and unlike the Empire it dramatized, has not stood the test of time in terms of remaining relevant in public consciousness. Cross the Rubicon with us as we discuss why the show works so well, why nobody watched it, and what it could have been had it remained in production.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys begin with a countdown to the release of the 1950 census on April 1. Then, it's a marvelous find for a family who lost a pilot uncle in World War II. Hear what was found and what has come home to the family. The guys will then tell you about another World War II unit that is receiving a Congressional Gold Medal. Dorchester Heights in Boston is the site of a statue commemorating Washington's troops' success in forcing the British out of town in 1776.

David then returns for Ask Us Anything, as the guys answer your family history research questions. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
I grabbbed my cup of coffee and fought through my cold. It was a fun show. We talked about Michelle Wu charging restaurants in the north end of Boston $7500 to keep outdoor dining in place. In addtion to this fee she is requiring them to pay $40-$50 for each parking space used per day. So if a restaurant uses 4 spaces, that is $200 per day! This is only happening in the Italian section of Boston! Not in Southie! Not in Roxbury! Not in the back bay! Not in Chinatown! This is blatent racism against Italian Americans. We talked about her "Evacuation Day" debacle. We walked about the top 20 reasons that spring is the best season. We also talked about the top reasons why baseball is the best sport. We talked about Hunter Bidens laptop and all of the lies the media told us about not being able to verify whose laptop it was. We talked Russia V Ukraine. We then talked about Dr. Fauci telling us the new COVID varient may require us to put the masks back on soon. Thank you for listening to my show.
We had a fun show today. We were lucky to have Jeremy Cummings, Mike from Tampa Bay, Eric Kirk, and Kapz from the UK on the panel. We started talking about baseball, we moved onto football briefly. We talked about Florida and how I chickened out from entering the Scientology building in Clearwater to request an application. We then chatted about me buying my first print newspaper in 5-10 years. I can't believe it cost me $3.50! We talked about Michelle Wu getting booed and jeered again. This time at the "Evacuation Day" celebration in Boston. We talked about Joe Biden and his obvious dementia. We talked about my fathers dementia. We then went into talking about the war in Ukraine. What is the end goal? Is it genocide of children or propoganda? Are we moving toward World War 3? We had alot of inappropriate laughs also in this show. I was mostly the target of my own jokes.. LOL. Enjoy this show, it was a good one.

“You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.” – Mary Tyler Moore About This Episode: The ‘Palisades Fire' in Southern California came very close to my house a couple weeks ago, and my family had to evacuate. The entire experience inspired reflection on things like: What do you take? What do you leave? What if you lose everything? In this particularly emotional #WalkWithMe episode, I talk about Evacuation Day and how we define what matters most. I also share a question I think all of us should ask ourselves—without or without an urgent crisis in front of us. *** For show notes, visit alivebydesign.com *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

This story takes place near the end of the American Revolution. So nearing the end here in the early 1780s when the Continental Army had basically won their freedom, the British still had several ships in the Boston Harbor. And this is why Evacuation Day is “celebrated” on March 17th: when the British military fled from Boston. On board the British ships were 11,000 soldiers and 1,019 citizens who remained loyal to King George and wanted to return to England. William and Mary Burton were on one of these ships that were in the harbor. They were newlyweds who were in Boston at the time, and I think it was due to all the chaos surrounding the war that caused them to want to flee. As the ship was attempting to sail out of the Boston Harbor when a cannonball from the Long Island Battery that was aimed at the ship ended up hitting Mary in the back of her head. As you can imagine, that was definitely a traumatizing way to die. The ghost of Mary Burton, the Lady in Scarlet, is said to haunt this area, stumbling around for her husband. Be sure to give this episode a listen for more details about her life as well as some bonus spooky stories about Boston's lighthouses and Devil Island. Stay safe out there.

The first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired in the towns of Lexington and Concord just west of Boston in April 1775. What started as a British victory as they looked for munitions stored by local militia turned into a British rout as American militia from all of New England converged on the area and drove the British back into Boston. Working all night on March 4 and into March 5, 1776 American forces moved the guns onto Dorchester heights that overlooked Boston. It gave the Colonials a commanding position that the British could not counter. British General William Howe then gathered some of his force of 11,000 troops onto ships to cross Boston harbor and attack the gun placements before they could be firmly established. Just as the troops had been loaded into the ships a huge storm hit and caused them to turn back. It gave the Americans time to firm up the guns and their advantage was established. The weather turned the tide. The British soon abandoned Boston, never to return during the rest of the Revolution. They evacuated on March 17, 1776, a day still celebrated in Boston.

The statue of George Washington in New York City's Union Square commemorates him on a particular day—November 25th, 1783—the date when the defeated British Army left Manhattan after the American Revolutionary War. The statue celebrates the idea that Washington brought freedom to the country, but professor of history at Rutgers University-Newark Dr. Lyra D. Monteiro researched how many people of African descent that Washington was enslaving on that same date: 271. Representing these people formed the heart of Washington's Next!, a participatory commemorative experience focused around that statue. In this episode, Monteiro describes how a tweet from President Trump was the inspiration for the name, how passersby reacted to the project, andthe subtle ways that public monuments have power.

Slainte! We enjoy some Trader Joe's Golden Vale Irish Cream Liquor while we discuss our love/hate relationship with St. Patrick's Day. Jess and Kristen love Ireland, Celtic Rock, Highland games, and bagpipe music, but could do without the craziness of Boston on St. Patrick's Day. Topics include: ridiculous day drinking, disgusting green food & beer, difficult drunk Bostonians, wearing green or orange, going to excess, St. Gertrude's Day, and Evacuation Day. Then we catch up on crafting: J finished her Tigger for her sister. K and J are both working on "the sock" and finding the instructions VERY confusing. K is happy for a quick checkout at Target and J is happy for repairs in her apartment. Cheers!

British control of the Thirteen Colonies of North America formally ended in 1783. Evacuation Day on 25 November 1783 marked the departure of British forces from New York, following the Declaration of Independence in 1776. However, the American Revolutionary War started in 1775, with the ‘shot that rang around the world’ on Lexington Green, when a contingent of British Redcoats exchanged fire with the colonial militia outisde of Boston. The hostilities quickly escalted and all out war followed. Bunker Hill, Long Island, Brandywine, Saratoga, Charleston, Yorktown are just some of the key battles in the American Revolutionary War. But how and why did the British - the superpower of the day - lose the war? In this episode, Patrick (@historychappy) explains three key reasons for the defeat that everyone should be aware of, while Elliott (@thelibrarian6) asks the questions.

Saint Patrick's Day. Parade. Controversy. Plus a breakfast with politicians, what to eat (hint: corn beef, cabbage and green bagels) and evacuating on Evacuation Day.
Evacuation Day is the name given to the day that British troops evacuated Boston, effectively ending the 11 month Siege of Boston. We'll talk about how Washington orchestrated this with cannon captured from Fort Ticonderoga.
