Stones and Bones Ep. 7 - Ye Olde Burying Grounds

On this Stones and Bones, we are focusing specifically on the cemeteries that name themselves Old Burying Ground. These Old Burying Grounds offer a snapshot of what life was like during the Colonial Period in America and they don't use the term "cemetery" in the name because the term wasn't in use yet. Garden cemeteries were a couple hundred years away from being planned, so many of these cities of the dead are haphazard and wild. And they were never considered hallowed, but rather, common. Many of them are filled with notable people from American history. Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

At the same time that the rural garden movement was launching and thriving in Victorian America, the Magnificent Seven were being established in London. The founding of these seven cemeteries was an effort to establish private cemeteries outside of London to alleviate the overcrowding in the city's churchyards. Small parish churchyards had provided burial space for hundreds of years, but with a burgeoning London population, burial space was shrinking and citizens were becoming worried about the unhealthy conditions. These new suburban cemeteries would be Kensal Green Cemetery, West Norwood Cemetery, Highgate Cemetery, Abney Park Cemetery, Brompton Cemetery, Nunhead Cemetery, and Tower Hamlets Cemetery. These cemeteries wouldn't get their nickname until 1981 and the name came from architectural historian Hugh Meller who was inspired by the 1960 western film "The Magnificent Seven."  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

A few years after Mount Auburn Cemetery was established, the city of Bangor in the state of Maine would follow its lead. Mount Hope Cemetery would become the second rural cemetery established in America. Bangor was named for the oldest city in Wales and is the "Queen City" of Maine. At the time that the cemetery was established, the city was known as the "Lumber Capitol of the World." And while the city was quite successful, its burial grounds were in bad shape. Many were abandoned and unkempt and the ones that were still being used were overcrowded. Bangor's mayor in 1834 even declared that the cemeteries caused a "soul chilling experience." This would change as the city decided to try its hand at this new garden cemetery experiment.

Mount Auburn Cemetery was the first step in the Rural Cemetery Movement. This Massachusetts Cemetery is nearly 200 years old and has seen a lot of American history, which means there are many notable burials here. The idea behind creating garden-like rural cemeteries was to give the public a beautiful and peaceful place to find inspiration, to visit their dead and to enjoy a park setting with the family.

The earliest forms of language were symbols and pictographs. Cuneiform symbols made up the earliest known languages of Sumerian and Akkadian. Egyptian hieroglyphs are considered the next oldest language. So for humans, symbols have always carried a high level of importance. Symbols can transcend time and culture and be interpreted by future generations. Although the meanings of symbols can change with time as well. Cemeteries are full of symbols and on this episode of Stones and Bones, we are going to share the meaning behind many of them.  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

One of the more difficult tasks that humans have had to face since the dawn of our era on this dusty little planet is what to do with our dead. Various cultures have worked out a variety of ways to accomplish this task. There are cave burials, fiery boat launches, cliff side burials, canopy burials, burials at sea, above ground crypts, traditional in-ground burials and the list goes on.

We finally had the opportunity to do that in January of 2023 during a quick trip to hang out with family back in California. The Whaley House is the oldest brick structure in southern California and was built by Thomas Whaley, Jr. The home served a variety of purposes and sits on an old hanging ground, so it isn't surprising that people claim that this is one of the most haunted houses in America. Join us as we share our investigation of the Whaley House! The Moment of Oddity features larger than life balloons and This Month in History features the birth of Andre Michelin.

Hey there! Hope everyone is enjoying this weird week between Christmas and New Years! When I released the last episode, The Story Behind Christmas Traditions, Part 2, I had some questions about the first part. I released that one way back in 2016, but since I've gotten more listeners since then, I thought it would be fun to re-release it. Even though it's no longer Christmas, why not enjoy saying goodbye to Christmas 2018 with The Story Behind. Enjoy! There are lots of fun things in store for The Story Behind in 2019, including Patreon-exclusive content for executive producers. You can be an Executive Producer by going to Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. Usually, I don't get a chance to talk about Patreon on the show too much. For those who don't know what it is, it's a way to support artists and creators you enjoy on a monthly basis for as low as $1 a month. The reason I call those who support The Story Behind executive producers is that the job of an executive producer is to make sure funds are in place for shows to go on. They are also invested in the content, like an executive producer on television or in the movies. Another reason is that Diane from History Goes Bump called her Patreon supporters that, I absolutely loved it and made sure to get her permission before using it. Executive Producers get to look at the scripts for episodes ahead of time. And starting in 2019. Executive Producers will be getting bonus episodes with no “quick messages” - just full content. There will be a theme for this year and the monthly bonus episodes will be The Stories Behind each month. So, releasing in January will be The Story Behind January, including the history of the name, as well as information about birthstones, birth flowers, notable dates and birthdays, and a whole lot more. So if you're looking for more episodes of The Story Behind, be sure to check out Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. In addition, Executive Producers of $5 or more will be getting exclusive access to a new project I'm working on called Muse. It's still in the very beginning phases so there isn't much there, but I'm seeing this as a breakout podcast from The Story Behind. It will be a long-form series based on one specific topic. I'm aiming to put out the first episode in March, but for now, I am enjoying the research process. You'll hear more about that project in future episodes of The Story Behind. I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has purchased The Story Behind book and all the lovely pictures of people I've seen opening them for Christmas! You all made 2018 amazing for this podcast, and I thank you so much for all your generosity and support. And, as always, thanks for listening.

Sorry for the delayed episode this week! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may have seen that I went to DC Podfest. And the first day I was there, I woke up with the beginnings of a cold. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of a bottle of Zicam fairly quickly and stave off the cold for a few days … until I got home. And then, it hit. This week has been a bit of a fever dream for me, but it made me start to wonder about some of the things we say when we're sick and the origins, so get ready for a bit of an etymology episode. But as long as there have been humans, humans have been getting sick, and many of these idioms carry a lot of unverifiable history with them. And, much like the cure for the common cold, the true origin stories of these phrases may never be found. You're listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary.

If you follow @StoryBehindPod on Instagram, you may have seen that I went to Boston last weekend for the Sound Education conference at Harvard University to be on a panel with other history podcasters that included Liz Covart from Ben Franklin's World, Patrick Wyman from Tides of History, and David Stenhouse from BackStory. I respect these podcasters greatly and it was such an honor to be in the same room as them. Because my travel schedule is pretty hectic this month, I only stayed in Boston for one day so I didn't get to experience anything outside of Harvard and the train station, but if you've ever been to Boston, you know that it seems there's history on every street. I got to hang out with Chris Nesi from The House of #EdTech podcast while I was there and he suggested I do an episode relating to Boston. Since any history regarding Boston would be a huge undertaking, I wanted to pick something a little more obscure, but still very much Boston-related. And food is always one of my favorite topics to research. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Boston Baked Beans. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

This is a very special episode of The Story Behind. Believe it or not, two years ago I pressed Publish on the first three episodes of this podcast, The Story Behind the Theremin, The Story Behind Dry Ice, and The Story Behind Sugar Skulls. This podcast was supposed to be a side-project for me. It was supposed to just take up a little of my time, so I could continue my hobby of podcasting while holding a full-time job and when I was pregnant with my son. That's what it was supposed to be. But in the two years since the show began, it took on more. It became my favorite distraction. It allowed me to geek out over things I never had a reason to learn otherwise. And it kept my brain from going to complete mush with pregnancy brain and post-partum brain. Plus, it led me to a career in podcasting and finally, it became the basis for The Story Behind book. Now, after last year's one-year and 100th episode special of The Story Behind The Musical, which was sung, I knew it would take a lot to top that for this year's episode. In fact, it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a 100 episodes or more could ever do. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind “Africa” by Toto.

If you're a parent who has even been on Pinterest and looked for activities for your child, you've probably seen at least a dozen different recipes for modeling clay or sensory dough, as it's sometimes called. Most of the recipes are different variations on the mixture of flour, water and salt dough I remember using to make Christmas ornaments. So, one morning this week, I was searching for a recipe for my son. I spent a good 20 minutes making it, mixing in different colors, getting just the right proportions of flour to water to coconut oil so it wouldn't stick to my hands or leave a greasy mess, only to have my son pick it up, drop it on the cat, and decide he was done with it. 20 minutes of making it, only to have it covered in cat hair after a minute or so. After all that, I threw away the dough I had made and added today's topic to the shopping list partially because it was easier to keep in the house and more convenient. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Play-Doh. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

If you're listening to this episode when it comes out, you may know that The Story Behind book will be released on Monday, October 15th. In the spirit of that, I'll be doing a few episodes revolving around books. This topic seemed almost too easy to cover, since the invention was something I think we all remember learning about in grammar school. But, as per usual with this podcast and the book, whenever I dig a little deeper, I always find out new information that wasn't in my history books. While those books were most likely printed using modern-day printers, there wouldn't even have been widespread use of books without today's topic in the first place. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Printing Press. I'll be releasing a separate episode with a book update, plus a sneak peek into the book's acknowledgments because I really want to thank everyone, not just in the book, but also in the podcast, so check your podcast app and the show notes for that link.

School picture time is here and every time I get my daughter ready for her picture, I try not to follow current trends too much. I have this fear she'll have the same experience I had in 1990 when my mom decided to go all out with my school picture and not only give me a big enough pinafore on my dress that it could double as a wind sail on a small boat, but she also teased my bangs and hair so much that I remember the photographer moving his camera back to get the full look. And, yes, if you follow The Story Behind on Twitter, Instagram and in the Facebook group, I'll post the picture for you all to see.

I honestly didn't think I would be as interested in the history of today's topic when I first started reading about it. There was a lot of chemistry involved and anyone who knew me in high school knows that was the worst subject for me. When you listen to the episode, you'll notice I kept the chemistry aspect to a minimum. But as I kept researching, what intrigued me the most was when the chemistry switched to biology and women's studies toward the end, when working conditions for those making today's subject resulted in a serious epidemic and women went on strike to protect themselves and other workers.

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer is pretty much reaching the end. And, as a parent, I'm pretty happy about that because it means my daughter is back in school. But before we start talking about Pumpkin Spice-everything and the holiday season, here's one last hurrah.

I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Roller Coasters. ---- It's less than two months until The Story Behind Book releases and I am so super excited and it still doesn't seem real yet. If you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet, you can find the book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Now, believe it or not, there are a lot of books with “The Story Behind” in the title, so people have said searching The Story Behind with my name works well. Or, the super easy way is to go to TheStoryBehindBook.com and click the links over there. By the way, the more people order the book, the more the price will go down, and when you pre-order on Amazon, you won't be charged until the day it releases, so the more people you share this news with, the more the price will go down. And, one more thing, I was told by my publisher to let people know that if you are an Amazon Associates member, you can make an affiliate link to the book on Amazon and share the link with your audience on your blog or website to receive a little kickback when people purchase it using your link. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has been promoting the book so far. You are all amazing and it's meant the world to me that fellow podcasters and listeners have been some of my biggest supporters. This really is one of the best communities in the world. So, thank you! ---- Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

Today I'm doing a collaborative show with Josh Hallmark from the podcast Our Americana, which explores unique small towns across America through the stories that impact, cultivate, and challenge community. America can feel oppressive. Every day it feels more and more like pieces of it are disappearing. That it's losing its value. But … there are monuments and mementos of the past if we just take a moment from our busy lives to take a look. Strange reminders of small victories, new life, love stories, and the strength of community. These stories are all around us, relics of station wagon days, on the highways and gravel roads that connect us all. It's easy to dismiss them as icons of capitalism; if you build it, they will come, and buy. But, there's always something more there, something deeper.

You may have even been appalled two years ago when Apple announced it was getting rid of the jack to plug today's episode topic into on their iPhones. Nevertheless, almost everybody has a pair or two nowadays. And many, like me, may not even use them for their intended purpose, which is to listen to music or podcasts, but as a way to safeguard ourselves from talkative coworkers or overly friendly sales people. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Headphones. Order your copy of The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!
