This conversation starts with fictional candidate Willy Stark, a favorite subject of our guest, Steve Ealy. Steve has written on how to read the Qur'an, the Federalist Papers and constitutional interpretation, the philosophers Jurgen Habermas, Michael Oakeshott, and Eric Voegelin, and the writers C. S. Lewis, Ralph Ellison, Fyodor Deostoevsky, James Fenimore Cooper, John Steinbeck, and Robert Penn Warren. He is currently working on a book-length study of Robert Penn Warren. In other words, he is qualified to dicsuss Donald Trump in the perspective of history.
Biographical Bytes from Bala #042, section 1 Charles Brockden Brown is regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper. His best-known works include Wieland and Edgar Huntly, both of which display his characteristic interest in Gothic themes. His works heavily influenced both Mary Bysshe Shelley and Edgar Allen Poe.
The U.S. Navy brig Somers was part of an experimental apprentice program to teach young men, mostly teenagers, to be naval officers. During a return voyage to Africa in 1842, Captain Alexander Slidell Mackenzie learned of a mutiny plot, orchestrated by Philip Spencer and other young crewmen. Spencer was the son of Secretary of War John Spencer, and already had a reputation as a troublemaker. Acting swiftly, Mackenzie ordered the execution of the alleged ringleaders, Philip Spencer, Samuel Cromwell, and Elisha Small. The event sparked a heated debate about naval discipline, the potential miscarriage of justice, and the proper handling of mutiny, led by famed author James Fenimore Cooper. The incident was one of the factors in the establishment of the United States Naval Academy in 1845. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.

An old friend, Sergeant Dunham of the 55th Regiment of Foot, asks him to guide his daughter through the wilderness to the fort at Oswego where Dunham serves. With the French engaging native Indian allies against the British and the Yankee colonists, such a journey is far from safe.Dunham has a plan in mind - to see his daughter Mable married off to the most redoubtable frontiersman and marksman in the territory, who is Pathfinder himself.

Dunham, Mable, Pathfinder, and two other wooers into an isolated and dangerous garrison.

Before the sensational cases of Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony—before even Lizzie Borden—there was Polly Bodine, the first American woman put on trial for capital murder in America's debut media circus.On Christmas night, December 25, 1843, in a serene village on Staten Island, shocked neighbors discovered the burnt remains of twenty-four-year-old mother Emelin Houseman and her infant daughter, Ann Eliza. In a perverse nativity, someone bludgeoned to death a mother and child in their home—and then covered up the crime with hellfire.When an ambitious district attorney charges Polly Bodine (Emelin's sister-in-law) with a double homicide, the new “penny press” explodes. Polly is a perfect media villain: she's a separated wife who drinks gin, commits adultery, and has had multiple abortions. Between June 1844 and April 1846, the nation was enthralled by her three trials—in Staten Island, Manhattan, and Newburgh—for the “Christmas murders.”After Polly's legal dream team entered the fray, the press and the public debated not only her guilt, but her character and fate as a fallen woman in society. Public opinion split into different camps over her case. Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Whitman covered her case as young newsmen. P. T. Barnum made a circus out of it. James Fenimore Cooper's last novel was inspired by her trials.The Witch of New York is the first narrative history about the dueling trial lawyers, ruthless newsmen, and shameless hucksters who turned the Polly Bodine case into America's formative tabloid trial. An origin story of how America became addicted to sensationalized reporting of criminal trials, The Witch of New York vividly reconstructs an epic mystery from Old New York—and uses the Bodine case to challenge our system of tabloid justice of today.

“This is a moment of grace in our lives. People have come to visit us and we're going to share these people and these stories and whatever this time brings. Then they'd get up, say their goodbyes and my grandparents would go back to work. But at Seminary Hill what I wanted to do was make that sense of leisure and openness available to guests, whether they're coming to Seminary Hill to drink cider or to have a meal or to see friends.” We're in great company with Susan Manning and Doug Doetsch, owners of Seminary Hill in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Here they have created, curated and stewarded a boutique hotel, restaurant and private event space to coincide with their proudly local and intently sustainable, orchard and cidery - inviting parched guests and passersby alike to experience the agricultural heritage of their land. With five generations of family members tending to this land and hosting travelers passing through, Doug and Susan returned to commemorate and reinvigorate this sense of place - but with a creative and collaborative twist. Recruiting community members and instilling regenerative practices to create the World's First Passive House-Certified Cidery for all to savor - whether during a stay or simply passing through. In this episode, Susan and Doug give us a sweet taste of why Condé Nast Traveler has coined Seminary Hill as “James Fenimore Cooper's America with a dash of Tuscany.” Top Takeaways [1:50] Back in the mid 1800s apple orchards were not planted for city folk to go apple picking or for that perfect Thanksgiving apple pie. They were for making cider…the cheapest form of alcohol and a drink safer than water. [10:25] While Susan and Doug pursued careers in Chicago, they were called home to the Catskills to steward their family's land as it was in a “pre consumer culture” and yet to gentrify the town, curating a community of creatives with innovative ideas. [13:10] Hospitality at Seminary Hill is a simple, timeless and selfless act of inviting passersby to sit on a porch in a rocking chair, having a conversation with a cold drink in hand. [16:15] Seminary Hill is the world's first “Passive House-Certified Cidery.” What makes it “Passive House” you ask? [23:10] Stay in good company at the Boarding House on the National Registry of Historic Places and dine in good company at the Tasting Room overlooking the Seminary Hill orchard, savoring the smells, sights, and sounds of 60 varieties of apple trees and their entire holistic ecosystem. [45:00] Over the years, planting trees and putting them to bed has become a sort of “barn raising” tradition for the family and friends of Seminary Hill.

L'anima in cui l'avventura si svolge non è esattamente quella di Laura Pugno che pure ne è l'autrice, ma è l'anima del mondo. Quel mondo che abbiamo intorno e che è fatto di parole, molte delle quali in forma di libro, di animali, foglie, frutti e cose invisibili che sono tutte insieme, e forse ciascuna, più vaste e larghe di noi. Non finisce il mondo, finisce un mondo. E raccontando un passaggio di articolo – «il» articolo determinativo, «un» articolo indeterminativo – Laura Pugno, forse la meno antropica tra gli scrittori e le scrittrici italiane, traccia una strada per la coesistenza che rompe la dominanza dell'essere umano e del maschio sul contesto. Per farlo, parte dai suoi pensieri, parole opere e omissioni, e dal romanzo L'ultimo dei Mohicani di James Fenimore Cooper. Noi senza mondo è dunque avventura interiore di un'anima collettiva, riflessione su cosa significhi scrivere e su quale sia il senso della poesia – il mondo è vocale, canta –, sull'importanza della lettura, della memoria, e pure della dimenticanza. Con una scrittura frammentata, mai sentimentale, sempre esatta e sempre passionale, Laura Pugno ci accompagna in un universo di metamorfosi che è l'unico nel quale dovremmo accettare di vivere. Non è un memoir, e non è una ricostruzione autobiografica: è un'avventura che dopo aver mosso lo spirito, muove pure il corpo.Laura Pugno è nata a Roma. Ha pubblicato la raccolta di racconti Sleepwalking (Sironi 2002) e i romanzi Quando verrai (minimum fax 2009), Antartide (minimum fax 2011), La caccia (Ponte alle Grazie 2012) e La ragazza selvaggia (Marsilio 2016, Premio Selezione Campiello 2017). In poesia: Il colore oro (Le Lettere 2007), La mente paesaggio (Perrone 2010), Bianco (Nottetempo 2016) e I diecimila giorni: Poesie scelte 1991-2016 (Feltrinelli Zoom 2016); è inoltre inclusa nell'antologia einaudiana Nuovi poeti italiani 6 (2012).

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 31, 2023 is: futurity fyoo-TOOR-uh-tee noun Futurity is a formal, literary synonym of future meaning “time to come.” The plural form, futurities, can also refer to future events or prospects. // The motivational speaker exhorted us to change the way we live today, rather than looking always toward some vague distant futurity. See the entry > Examples: “The 18th floor, two-room suite with a spacious balcony overlooking 27th Street has been transformed by the recent Yale grad, in a project aiming to broadly represent the values of the queer and creative community. ... Standard hotel whites are swapped for neon, patterned towels and bathrobes, with nods to science fiction and a theme of queer futurity continuous throughout the space.” — Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner, Forbes, 31 July 2023 Did you know? For a forward-looking word, futurity has quite the literate past. Its first known use comes from Act III of Shakespeare's tragedy Othello, when the downtrodden Cassio, mystified about why Othello has turned against him, beseeches Desdemona to tell him whether his “offense be of such mortal kind / That nor my service past, nor present sorrows, / Nor purpos'd merit in futurity / Can ransom me into his love again.” Centuries later the Scottish writer Walter Scott wrote of events still in “the womb of futurity,” employing a phrase also used by James Fenimore Cooper, among others. Though still in use and very much useful, futurity tends to lend one's speech or writing a lofty tone, so if the situation calls for something more down-to-earth, you may want to go back to [the] future.

Recollections of Europe
Brandon and Lindsy discuss recent listening and reading habits which include the Irish Celtic punk band, the Pogus, The Pathfinder by James Fenimore Cooper and the British show, The Devil's Hour. They then discuss how they see patterns in the media they consume for entertainment value. The speakers discuss The Peripheral, a dystopian TV show about trans-humanism. They discuss how the show is a treatise for trans-humanism, and how the elite want to use it to control the population. They also discuss the Midnight Mass, another TV show that is recommended by a friend. They quickly transition into talking about testimonies of when they first got introduced to the supernatural. Lindsy talks about a dream he had as a kid, where he and another boy were trying to steal treasure from an attic, and the boy turned into a rabbit and hopped away, leaving Lindsy behind. In the dream, Jesus appeared to Lindsy in a flash of light. Brandon talks about how he was first introduced to the supernatural through a friend who was involved in the occult. He eventually got baptized in the Spirit and started having prophetic dreams and visions. Brandon describes his journey from agnosticism to Christianity, and how his views on the supernatural have changed over time. They recount experiences from their childhood that they couldn't explain, and how they eventually came to believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. They talk about how their views have evolved over time, and how they are now more open to the idea of the supernatural.Timestamps0:03:24The Peripheral: A Treatise for Trans-humanism 0:05:42Lindsy and Brandon's Testimonies of the Supernatural0:10:42The Different Types of Spiritual Experiences 0:13:25The Role of Prophecy in the Christian Life0:15:09The Journey of a Spiritual Warrior0:17:17The Supernatural Experiences 0:19:55The supernatural experiences of a young Christian man0:24:35The Importance of the Supernatural in Our Lives0:26:29The Church and the Supernatural Worldview0:29:00The Power of a Supernatural Worldview

One of Michael Mann's most beloved films, this is the most recent and most enduring of ELEVEN screen adaptations of the historical fiction novel by James Fenimore Cooper, and it takes us to a war we seldom see depicted elsewhere in cinema: The French and Indian War in North America. It follows the journey of the last members of the vanishing Mohican people as they venture through the breathtaking forests and mountains of Northeastern North America in 1757, while Britain and France fight for control of the continent. Their progress is halted when they come to the aid of British troops and find themselves escorting a pair of sisters through some of the most notorious battles of the entire war, hounded by a Huron warrior who is bent on exacting revenge on their father, a British Colonel. At once a great adventure, sweeping romance, and epic war film, the simple plot is carried by a sublime score, some incredible set design, and the legendary performances of a powerhouse cast, all set against a complex and layered historical backdrop. Today we have a very special guest on the show: author, philosopher, and Native-American history professor Daniele Bolelli, host of the popular podcasts History on Fire and The Drunken Taoist. He's here to help us separate the historical from the not-so-historical, and tell us why this is one of his favorite films. *We recommend the theatrical cut of this film (112 mins), not very accessible but available for purchase on ebay or as a region B disk (Australia) on amazon. Make sure your disk player can read region B. Most other places (including streaming), you can find the Director's Definitive Cut (114 mins).

This German production of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Deerslayer isn’t great, but does serve as a prequel to The Last of the Mohicans. The post A003b: Chingachgook: The Great Snake (1967) appeared first on .
Synopsis It was on this date in 1825 that the United States had its first date with authentic Italian opera. This was a performance of Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville, staged at New York City's Park Theatre. The singers were mostly from one extraordinary Spanish family—the Garcias—led by its patriarch Manuel Garcia, a tenor who performed role of Count Almaviva – the same role Garcia had created at the opera's premiere in Rome nine years earlier. The 1825 New York audience included luminaries from society and the arts—including the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper and Mozart's one-time librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, who was teaching Italian at Columbia University in those days. November 29th is also important to 20th century American musical theater. Cole Porter's Gay Divorce opened on Broadway on November 29, 1932, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The musical's title rankled censors who feared it treated divorce too lightly, and they insisted on converting it to the less controversial Gay Divorcee. Cole Porter's score included one of his classic songs, Night and Day, and, like Rossini before him, Porter claimed to have tailor-made this song for the unusual tenor star of his new show, one Fred Astaire.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
It is perhaps the greatest scandal and sea-story of the first half of 19th Century America that nearly everyone has forgotten. It led to a court martial, endless headlines, a fistfight in a meeting of the President's cabinet, and quite possibly to the foundation of the United States Naval Academy. And given that nearly everyone who went to see in the early American republic seemed to know one another, there was one degree of separation between this story and James Fenimore Cooper, Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, and future Confederate naval captain Raphael Semmes. It was nothing less than an attempted mutiny aboard the USS Somers in November 1842, led by–of all the people in the United States of America—the son of the United States Secretary of War who supposedly wanted to become a pirate. With me to discuss this incredible story is James Delgado, historian and underwater archaeologist, whose new book is The Curse of the Somers: The Secret History Behind the US Navy's Most Infamous Mutiny For Further Investigation James Fenimore Cooper: proud of his four years a merchant sailor and then a midshipman in the United States Navy, Cooper's fourth novel was The Pilot: A Tale of the Sea, probably the first American nautical novel. Richard Henry Dana, Jr.: now curiously forgotten, Dana was a Harvard dropout who enrolled as a merchant seaman, sailed to California and back, wrote about it in a bestseller titled Two Years Before the Mast, and then went on to become a prominent lawyer. Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry: young brother of naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry, "Old Bruin" became one of the most prominent officers of the US Navy between 1814 and 1861, most famously leading the expedition that forced Japan open to trade and international interaction Raphael Semmes: once commander of the USS Somers, he became an officer in the Confederate Navy, and most famously commanded the CSS Alabama Herman Melville: elements of the Somers mutiny can be found in both White Jacket and Billy Budd
We are back and bringing you The Last of the Mohicans, James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 historical novel about stepping on twigs and tricking your friends by following them around in a bear costume. We chat about race, the novel's politics, and how an adult man could get tricked by a bunch of beavers. And the French and Indian War! We read the Penguin Classics version with introduction by Richard Slotkin. For more on this novel, we highly recommend Sarah Rivett's chapter in Unscripted America (2017) “Indiginous Metaphors in Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.” For some fun, we suggest Mark Twain's 1895 gem, "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses."
