In this episode we speak with Gus Goodwin (Senior Conservation Planner, The Nature Conservancy VT), Shayne Jaquith (Watershed Restoration Scientist, The Nature Conservancy VT), and Kristen Balschunat (Conservation Water Quality Project Manager, Vermont Youth Conservation Corps) about a project TNC has been working on to restore the Hubbardton River Clayplain Natural Area in West Haven, VT using woody additions and revegetation of the riparian areas. We discuss why they're adding wood, how our rivers have gotten to the state they're in, and what the future for this site and other similar sites might look like. 

In this episode we hear from Joe about why he's decided to run for the Addison-Rutland seat to represent Orwell, Shoreham, Whiting, Hubbardton, and Sudbury. We also sit down with Dan and Cindy Werner to talk about the big project on the green this week and how people can get involved. On top of that we talk volunteer opportunites in town, sports news, a new...interpretation (shall we say) of the weather, and the debut of The Orwell Bugler Jrs. Join us!

Eric Schnitzer, military historian and park ranger at the Saratoga National Historic Park joins us to talk about the campaign of General Burgoyne and his armies--British, German, Native American, and Americans--which captured Ticonderoga and was marching on to Albany in 1777.  But Burgoyne became the first British general ever to surrender his army to a foreign foe in modern times.  What happened to stop them?   We hear about Horatio Gates and the New England militia, Hubbardton and Bennington, and the extraordinary journals of the Baroness Reidesel.  

JULY 7 -- 1863 Kit Carson starts war with Indians; 1923 Indians beat Red Sox; 1930 Building Hoover Dam begins; 1777 Battle of Hubbardton

As the Fort Ticonderoga garrison escapes the attacking British under General Burgoyne, American General Arthur St. Clair leaves a rearguard at Hubbardton to prevent the British from advancing on the retreating army. Colonel Seth Warner commands the American rearguard, which is still at Hubbardton when the British advance guard, under the command of  General Simon Fraser, catches up to them.  A brutal wilderness battle rages for hours in the wooded mountains.  Finally German reinforcements under the command of General Friedrich von Riedesel reach the battle and force the remaining Americans to flee into the woods.

A “little short of madness.” That is how Thomas Jefferson responded when two delegates from New York approached him with the idea to build the Erie Canal in January 1809. Jefferson’s comment did not discourage New Yorkers. On January 4, 1817, New York State began building a 363-mile long canal to link the Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes and the Midwest. Janice Fontanella, site manager of Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site in Fort Hunter, New York, joins us to discuss the Erie Canal, its construction, and the impact that this waterway made on New York and the United States.

The American army is about to be trapped inside Fort Ticonderoga, if the Army is lost so are the hopes of American Revolution.  Arthur St. Clair decides that he is going to evacuate the fort as a result two small but important conflicts erupt around Hubbardton and Fort Ann.

Benedict Arnold is an intriguing figure. He was both a military hero who greatly impacted and furthered the American War for Independence with his bravery on the battlefield and someone who did something unthinkable: he betrayed his country. Stephen Brumwell, an award-winning historian and the author of Turncoat: Benedict Arnold and the Crisis of American Liberty, joins us to explore the life and deeds of Benedict Arnold and Arnold’s stunning metamorphosis from hero to traitor.

2018 marks the 241st anniversary of the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga and the 240th anniversary of the Franco-American Alliance. But was the victory that prompted the French to join the American war effort, truly the "turning point" of the War for Independence? National Book Award-winner Nathaniel Philbrick joins us to explore the two events he sees as better turning points in the American War for Independence: Benedict Arnold’s treason and the French Navy’s participation in the war.

Historians refer to the Battle of Saratoga as the “turning point” of the American Revolution. They argue the Patriot Army’s defeat of British General John Burgoyne’s forces convinced the French to enter the War for Independence. Together, the Franco and American forces cornered Charles, Earl Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781 and ended the war. This is the quick version of Saratoga, but as we know, history is more complicated. Today, we explore the Saratoga Campaign of 1777 in more depth with Bruce M. Venter, author of The Battle of Hubbardton: The Rear Guard Action that Saved America.
