Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF), joins me to outline more recent drill core seen carrying visible gold from the initial drilling at the historical Laurentian Mine Target and the Intersection Target on the Elora Gold System. This is part of the on-going 15,000 meter drill program underway across their Dryden Gold District land package in Northwestern Ontario.   Laurentian is approximately one kilometer north of the Jubilee Target where the Company recently released assay results of 301.67 g/t over 3.90 meters including 1,930 g/t over 0.60 meters in a newly discovered hanging wall structure. The VG intersected at Laurentian was on a new parallel mineralized hanging wall structure. At the new Intersection Target, 200 meters northeast of Jubilee, VG was intersected before the main target in a mineralized footwall structure. This confirms new target potential on parallel high-grade structures along a one-kilometer strike at the Elora Gold System. Both holes have been submitted to the lab and results are expected in the coming weeks.   In addition to all the targets along the  Elora Gold System trend, we also discuss new geological understanding of the D3 deformation fault and how this will inform coming work initiatives at the Big Master, Mud Lake, and Mosher Bay Areas of the Gold Rock Camp.   Wrapping up we discuss the news out to the market today where the Company has received exploration permits from the Ontario Ministry of Mines for drill testing the Hyndman property. With the arrival of the 2025 summer field season, the Company has launched its regional exploration campaign. Field crews are starting a detailed mapping and channel sampling at Hyndman to prepare for future drill testing of multiple unexplored geophysical anomalies. The geology team is also preparing for the initial drill test at a 3rd area of focus at Sherridon; where detailed mapping from 2024 has exposed multiple drill ready targets.     If you have any questions for Trey regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold

Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF), joins me to outline the recent drill assay that intersected bonanza-grade gold in the new hanging wall discovery from deeper drilling at the Elora Gold System.  In addition to all the targets along the Elora trend, we also discuss new geological understanding and work initiatives at the Big Master, Mud Lake, and Mosher Bay Areas of the Gold Rock Camp at the onset of this year's 15,000 meter drill program. We also discuss exploration programs for later in the year at both the Sherridon, and Hyndman areas across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.   Drill assays for this newly intercepted hanging wall gold mineralization in hole KW-25-003 Assays have now confirmed results of 301.67 g/t gold over 3.90 meters including 1,930 g/t gold over 0.60 meters with folded quartz stringer veins hosted in sheared basalts. This hanging wall zone is approximately 80 meters from the main Jubilee high-grade zone at a true depth of 250 meters.   We discuss the exploration plans for multiple targets at Elora for this year like around the historic Laurentian Mine and the Intersection target.  Trey also outlines how a new interpretation of a 3rd deformation structure (D3) with folding in the geological structure creates a good trap for the gold fluids. This new understanding will assist with going back and drilling the hanging wall structure, and also the historic high-grade mineralization over at Big Master, in addition to at Mud Lake. This complex geological data is further evidence that the Dryden District hosts a strong Archean lode gold system like the Red Lake, Kirkland Lake, and Timmins Districts.   Wrapping up we look ahead to the more drilling coming from across the Gold Rock Camp, plus ongoing work programs at both the Sherridon, and Hyndman areas across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.     If you have any questions for Trey regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF), joins me to outline the key 2025 exploration strategy and 15,000 meter drill program planned at the Elora, Big Master, Mud Lake, and Mosher Bay Areas of the Gold Rock Camp, plus ongoing work programs at both the Sherridon, and Hyndman areas across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.    We start off digging in to how this year's exploration program will be stepping out and drilling deeper to test some of the successful near-surface high-grade drill results in the Gold Rock Camp from the Elora Gold System and Big Master areas from 2024.  Last year the exploration team was drilling from patented land, but they have applied to receive permits to move the drill pads up closer to the key target areas along the Elora trend. This vantage point for drilling will also allow the exploration team to drill deeper holes down to 300+ meters, which is important since this whole area is very similar to the deep Red Lake mineralization geologically. Additionally, getting these permits will allow them to put in some drill holes around the historic Elora-Jubilee Mine area, the Laurentian Mine area, and a compelling target midway between those 2 areas, which is on a perpendicular trend from prior high-grade drill results on the Big Master trends.      We then took a look at some of the other regional targets on the Gold Rock Camp land package  like Mud Lake and Mosher Bay that the team is looking forward to doing more mapping, sampling, and targeting on for potential drilling in 2025.   Additionally, we widened the scope to discuss 2 other key areas of exploration focus on their district-scale land package, with surveys and field work vectoring on future drill targets at both the Sherridon and Hyndman areas of the Project.   If you have any questions for Maura regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold

Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTC: DRYGF), joins me to recap the key milestones and results from 2024, and to look ahead to the work initiatives at the Elora, Big Master, Mud Lake, and Mosher Bay Areas of the Gold Rock Camp, plus ongoing work programs at both the Sherridon, and Hyndman areas across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.     We start off discussing the success the Company had in 2024 in the capital markets with a few upsized raises, funding them for their move forward work planned in early 2025, and also bringing in Centerra Gold as a key strategic shareholder. This demonstrated that there is demand for funding their project and that they have access to capital in an environment that was challenging to many other junior resource companies.    Next we discussed some of the near-surface high-grade drill results in the Gold Rock Camp from the Elora Gold System and Big Master areas.  Elora saw a number of good intercepts like 8.93 g/t gold over 12.45 meters including 32.96 g/t gold over 2.73 meters in the deepest drill hole to date, or another hole with assays showing 14.10 g/t gold over 7.54 meters. Then hole KW-24-017 returned 30.72 g/t gold over 5.70 meters, including its highest-ever value of 313.00 g/t over 0.55 meters.  One of the notable Big Master intercepts was 26.11 g/t gold over 3.16 meters. Trey describes some of ongoing work and targets tested at both Big Master 1 and 2, and multiple targets that they will be testing along the Elora Gold trend once they receive the permits to move the drill pads up closer to the veins.  This vantage point for drilling will also allow the exploration team to drill much deeper holes, which is important since this whole area is very similar to the deep Red Lake mineralization geologically.   We then took a look at some of the other regional targets on the Gold Rock Camp land package  like Mud Lake and Mosher Bay that the team is looking forward to doing more mapping, sampling, and targeting on for 2025.   Additionally, we widened the scope to discuss 2 other key areas of exploration focus on their district-scale land package, with surveys and field work vectoring on future drill targets at both the Sherridon and Hyndman areas of the Project.   If you have any questions for Trey regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comAnd now we return to our soundwalk series on quiet spots in the city. This is part two of two. But before we get to that, I'd just like to take a minute to reflect on my journey to get here.On April 29, 2022 I released Chapman Beach Soundwalk. It was both extremely simple and, to me, experimental. It was in a nutshell: a natural soundscape with musical soundtrack. I had no basis to believe that the idea would commercially viable, and to be honest, while it has shown promise, it hasn't really caught on in a big way either. Still, I persuaded myself to keep doing it, as a practice. And so, here we are, two and a half years on, and we've come to soundwalk #50. Let me tell you, it is possible to be both proud and embarrassed at the same time. Proud because, well, fifty! Embarrassed because, well, you know—fifty. A string of 50 non-hits, if you will. At a good clip, too! So, for #50, we are rediscovering Reed Canyon, another “hidden” natural area near downtown Portland, Oregon. Type it into a mapping app, and it won't know where to go. This is because is not a nature park and is not public land. It's on the Reed College campus, and thankfully, the campus welcomes neighbors, near and far, who enjoy walking the trails that wind around the canyon's lake shore and through a wetland environment on its east end. The canyon was formed by Crystal Springs, which erupts from the broad plane of inner SE Portland next to huddle of buildings forming the Reed College Campus. According to a historical overview, surveys indicate Reed Lake is the oldest naturally occurring lake in Portland. That's not saying an awful lot, as Portland topography isn't especially dotted with lakes. It also depends on where you draw the city limits, of course. If anything, the city has filled in most of the lakes it once had, alongside the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Let's go ahead and name those lakes, and when they were filled in, for posterity. I'd estimate Portland lost more than 75% of its total lake surface area in the last century. Historical Lakes of Portland, Oregon* Guild's Lake c. 1913-1926* Kittridge & Doane Lakes c. 1930* Mud Lake c. 1930* Switzler's Lake & Columbia Slough unnamed lakes c.1930* Ramsey Lake c. 1964* Mock's Bottom c.1980So, being able to walk around a natural lake in Portland anymore is a rare thing! And just to be clear, while the basin is natural, the Reed Lake water level has been maintained by a small dam built in 1929.This walk takes place on a drizzly leap year day—February 29th—of this past year. Winter and Spring are perhaps my favorite seasons here. Waterfowl motor around. Mallards, Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, Wigeon, Gadwall, and Canada Geese are all common visitors. Huge flocks of geese sometimes wheel overhead, attracted to the all-you-can-eat lawn buffet the campus provides just over the canyon rim. Songbirds sound so sweet here in this intimate and reverberant canyon, that you can easily forget that there's a city all around you.My composition features almost all solo performances of piano, unplugged Wurlitzer electric piano, a “soft clarinet” synth pad, and a “bottle” synth sound that I think sounds like droplets. Oh, and zither. All performed unrehearsed, warts and all. Why? Well, because, for now, it conveys what I want to convey; some alchemical expression forged in the naïveté—the grasping. Part of me thinks I'll eventually work myself out of a job here. Meaning, my music will become by degrees more spare and quiet and adrift that eventually all the will be left is the natural soundscape.It reminds me of a trope of architecture writers that goes something like, “The design sought to blend seamlessly with the landscape.” It seems like four out off five articles in Dwell magazine used parade that one out. Meanwhile, walls of glass and rectilinear volumes were de rigueur. There's a limit to the blending that can occur with that design language, and it's far from “seamless”.When you boil it down, I think it's pretty common to try and convince other people you are doing something thoughtfully, when really we're all just kind of clunky. Nothing is seamless. So why try and convince? Embrace Your Clunkiness! I say.Anyway, thanks for reading. I hope you can spend some quiet time with Reed Canyon Soundwalk. Or better, head on over there in real life, if you can. It's nice. You'll like it.Reed Canyon Soundwalk is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) Friday, September 20th.

When Europeans arrived in the Great Lakes region, they learned from the Indigenous people living there of a route from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, made possible by a portage connecting the Chicago River and the Des Plaines River. That portage, sometimes called Mud Lake, provided both opportunity and challenge to European powers who struggled to use European naval technology in a region better suited to Indigenous birchbark canoes. In the early 19th century, however, the Americans remade the region with major infrastructure projects, finally controlling the portage not with military power but with engineering, and setting the stage for Chicago's rapid growth as a major metropolis.

Roy L hales/ Cortes Currents - Another logging confrontation may be coming on Quadra Island. On Novermber 15, 2021 a little group of Quadra Island grannies, calling themselves the friends of Hydcinthe Creek, shut down Mosaic's logging operations in Tan Creek. “We said they could take out the logs that they've already cut. My goodness, they got so many first day and a half before I found them and we stopped them. This was cutting the headwaters above the headwaters of Tan Creek that goes into Mud Lake and coho spawn in the bottom,” said Eileen Sowerby. She emailed that, “The lower reaches of Tan Creek are a nursery for coho fry, but, due to the creek drying up in the summer in recent years we have had to rescue the fry from creek puddles and move them to the lake.” Mud Lake feeds into Hyacinthe Creek.   “I think mosaic waited for us to die off because the average age of the four grannys was 73, but I am still able.” She expects Mosaic to return. “Mosaic are huge. They are the largest private landowners in BC. They own 8% of Cortes Island, I'm sure you know that, and it's different there because they own the land. This is just a tree farm license,” explained Sowerby. In May, the logging giant signed a harvesting agreement the We Wai Kai First Nation and Roga Contracting to form a new company, Way Key Ventures. “They're going to train We Wai Kai to log and sell them thousands and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to do it. To me, it doesn't matter hho's doing it, the survival of the coho come first. So if I have to, I will blockade with my Cedar hat on and my blanket,” explained Sowerby. She was referring to the ceremonial hat and blanket the Homalco First Nation gave her last month. Sowerby and two of her friends had been the title holders of 47 acres on Read Island. They never considerd the land it theirs. It was originally purchased for a project that did not work out. Twenty-five years later they decided that as Read Island is part of the traditional territory of the Homalco First Nation, they would give it back. The Homalco responded through a special celebration at their centre in Campbell River, which was where Sowerby and her friends were given ceremonial hats and blankets. She has been watching Mosaic and its predecessor, TimberWest, log the Hyacinthe Creek water shed for over 20 years. “They're very, very nice about it and very polite, but the Creek is drying up and in 2021, for the first time in my memory, was absolutely dry,” said Sowerby. She believes there are three reasons for this: climate change, a new road through the wetlands and logging. “The lack of water is due to probably mostly climate change, but we can stop the logging. There's no way that continual logging will help salmon in any way.”

Hello Interactors,So far this spring I’ve chronicled the spread of cadastral mapping across America. It was all part of Jefferson’s gridded agrarian vision. But by the middle of the 1800s immigrants started flooding in, the industrial age was taking hold, and cities were the thing to map.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…THE PREACH AND THE LEECH "This lake was well named; it was but a scum of liquid mud, a foot or more deep, over which our boats were slid, not floated over, men wading each side without firm footing, but often sinking deep into this filthy mire, filled with bloodsuckers, which attached themselves in quantities to their legs. Three days were consumed in passing through this sinkhole of only one or two miles in length."Those are the words of Gurdon S. Hubbard, a fur trader from Vermont. In 1816, at age 18, he begged his parents to leave his job at a local hardware store to join a buddy on a fur trading expedition to Mackinac Island, Michigan. Two years later, in 1818, he found himself on a boat being drug through leech infested mud next the aptly named, Mud Lake – a terminating branch of the Des Plaines river. He was traversing a well known shortcut to Lake Michigan. As his men pulled blood sucking predatory leeches from their legs, he likely would have also been breathing in the odors of a pungent leek that grew along those shores. The Algonquin people called them Checagou.  By the time Hubbard found this shortcut, it had already been named Chicago Portage and had been used for over one hundred years. In 1673, French Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette joined French Canadian Louis Jolliet to map the Mississippi river. As they were paddling their way upstream on their return to the Great Lakes, they encountered a Miami tribe by the shore. The Miami tipped them off to a shortcut to Canada. Instead of paddling all the way up to Lake Superior, they told them they could hang a right at the Illinois River and head north through Lake Michigan instead. The Illinois River becomes the Des Plaines River at what is now Joliet, Illinois. The river then opened to an estuary later dubbed Mud Lake near present day Lyons, Illinois – a suburb of Chicago. Thus began a days long slog tugging a boat made from birch logs; a portage to Lake Michigan and beyond.Plodding their way to the mouth of the great lake on the horizon, Jolliet got to thinking about all the fur he could trade now that he knew this shortcut. After all, this portage connected two pivotal North American transportation routes – the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. In his journal he wrote, “We could easily sail a ship to Florida…All that needs to be done is to dig a canal through but half a league of prairie from the lower end of Lake Michigan to the River of St. Louis [today’s Illinois River].”Jolliet and Marquette spread the word and soon many others were trading through the Chicago Portage. The first to settle was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable and his wife Kitihawa in the 1780s. Jean Baptiste was of French and African descent and Kitihawa was from the local Potawatomi tribe. They were married ceremoniously among her people in the 1770s and then, having converted to Catholicism, were married in 1788 in Cahokia, Illinois in a Catholic ceremony. They, and their two children, went on to build a successful farm and trading post in a well appointed log cabin. They are considered the founders of what we now call the city of Chicago. Jean Baptiste died the year Gurdon Hubbard and his leech bitten crew showed up in 1818.GRID AS YOU GROWThat same year the Illinois General Assembly was formed, the young state’s first government. Hubbard settled in Chicago and eventually became a legislator. He lobbied tirelessly for supplemental funding from the Federal government to build a canal that would replace the pernicious Chicago Portage. It worked. They broke ground with Hubbard wielding the spade, in 1836. By this time Hubbard had also started Chicago’s first stockyard and meat packing plant. He knew, just as Jolliet did over one hundred years before, that Chicago was destined to be an attractive port town; a symbol of growth and prosperity. But neither could have imagined what happened next. It’s hard to believe today.When Hubbard broke ground on the canal, the population was around 4,000 people. Ten years later, in 1850, that number grew nearly eight-fold to 30,000 people. By 1886, around the time Hubbard was buried just north of Chicago at Graceland Cemetery, there were nearly one-million people living in Chicago. Immigrant populations were flooding the city for work, many as laborers on the canal. Land prices were skyrocketing. “In 1832, a small lot on Clark Street sold for $100. Two years later, the same property sold for $3,000. And a year after that, it sold for $15,000. A newspaper reporter wrote, “[E]very man who owned a garden patch stood on his head, [and] imagined himself a millionaire….”It didn’t take long for survey crews to start gridding Chicago into tiny parcels. All spring I’ve been chronicling the spread of large-scale cadastral mapping across the country. While Jefferson’s vision of a gridded country included plats for developing cities, his primary objective was the expansion of land for agrarian purposes. After all, he was a farmer. But urban populations were starting to mushroom in the 1830s as masses of immigrants flooded the country. Especially Chicago. Surveyors got to work dividing plats of land into skinny rectangles packed into gridded squares divided by roads and bounded by the curving shores of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. This 1834 map shows the land surveyed in Chicago from 1830 to 1834. Enough to handle the nearly 4,000 residents and growing. By 1850 the population was nearing 30,000 and the city needed to expand. By 1855 the population had already jumped to 80,000. That’s 10,000 people a year flooding a few square miles. You can see in the 1855 map above just how much Chicago grew. When the city was founded in the 1830s it was about 2.5 miles square. By 1863 it grew west, south, and north four to six miles in each direction. Urban sprawl started in Chicago almost as soon as it was founded. BILLY AND ANDY RAND MCNALLYThe opening of the Chicago River canal in 1848 and the penetration of rail lines in the 1850s culminated in making Chicago a freight and logistics transportation hub. A system that birthed iconic companies like Montgomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck & Co. By 1850 Chicago was the biggest city in the country. The intense growth of the city coincided with increased ethnic diversity, complex urban activity, and a shifting cultural context. It called for new methods of infrastructure management, land use policy, and regulation — but also new maps. Mapping became tools not just for documenting the record, but for managing complexity, decision making, and the risk of calamity.This 1869 map shows the various insurance schemes spread throughout the city. Among other purposes, it was used to assess fire risk. A need that became abundantly clear two years later when the Great Chicago Fire destroyed nearly three and a half square miles of the city leaving 300 people dead. Advances in printing technology spawned new varieties of publications, including maps. A year after the Great Chicago Fire, a printmaker from Massachusetts, William Rand, and an Irish immigrant, Andrew McNally, printed their first map. Their newly formed business, Rand McNally & Co., started off printing train tickets and schedules for the dizzying strands of trains snaking through the city. Soon Rand McNally became synonymous with ‘map’ in the United States becoming the country’s most dominant mapping company.  ANOTHER SUPER HERO FROM IOWABy 1870 48 percent of Chicago residents were immigrants; more than any other city in the country.  All this urban activity brought prosperity to a rising privileged social elite, but it also brought poverty, destitution, and segregation to the disadvantaged. Last week I talked about the 1890 U.S. census. It was the birth of American ‘Big Data’ tabulated with newly invented punch cards. America’s ‘father of mapmaking’, Henry Gannett, was tasked with charting and mapping the data. It was an impressive feat, that included new methods of modeling and visualizing the growing ethnicities in America. But the analysis included overtones of patriarchy and racist theories. Five years later, out of the slums of Chicago, emerged a more thoughtful, altruistic, yet critical counter maps. In 1895 an all-women boarding house, called the Hull House, went about collecting, analyzing, and mapping socio-demographic data aimed at improving the lives of their immigrant neighbors. One of those women was from my home state of Iowa. Her name is Agnes Sinclair Holbrook. She was born in Marengo, Iowa in 1867 and went on to study at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. She studied math, science, and literature earning a bachelor of science degree in 1892. She then moved to Chicago to live with other women like her in the Hull House. This was a home to women with university degrees situated in a poor Chicago neighborhood. The Hull House mission, which came from one of the founders, Jane Addams, was to empower educated women through her “Three R’s”: Residence, Research, and Reform. Instead of distantly studying anonymously surveyed data she encouraged,“close cooperation with the neighborhood people, scientific study of the causes of poverty and dependence, communication of these facts to the public, and persistent pressure for [legislative and social] reform..." Young Agnes Sinclair Holbrook collected and analyzed local data from her resident immigrant community and visualized it on a map. Her intent was to inform and influence local policy but to also lift up, empower, and encourage immigrant women to seek their own opportunities. Below is an example of her work from the 1895 Hull House publication.Digitally produced urban maps like Holbrook’s are common place today. We’re practically numbed by their presence as they bob in the rivers of social media feeds. You can bet Agnes Sinclair Holbrook would have thousands of followers if she were alive today. She’d probably also be disappointed in the progress made toward social justice. Holbrook wasn’t a fan of sterile, dispassionate pronouncements. She believed simply stating the facts doesn’t get traction, if you want to make change it must come with the right action. As Holbrook writes in the 1895 publication of Hull-House Maps and Papers,“Merely to state symptoms and go no farther would be idle; but to state symptoms in order to ascertain the nature of disease, and apply, it may be, its cure, is not only scientific, but in the highest sense humanitarian.” She didn’t stop there. She had a bigger message for America’s powerful, white, male elite. It’s a message that is so relevant today, that we’d be wise to reflect and learn from the socio-political environment of the late 1800s. Here the 28 year old Holbrook states, “The politicians work on the people's feelings, incite them against the men of the other party as their most bitter enemies; and if this doesn't succeed, they go to work deliberately to buy some. Thus adding insult to injury, they go off and set up a Pharisaic cry about the ignorance and corruption of the foreign voters.As everything in the old country has its price, it is not at all surprising that the foreigners believe such to be the case in this also. But Americans are to blame for this; for the better class of citizens, the men who preach so much about corruption in political life, and advocate reforms, never come near these foreign voters. They do not take pains to become acquainted with these recruits to American citizenship; they never come to their political clubs and learn to know them personally; they simply draw their estimates from the most untrustworthy source, the newspapers, and then mercilessly condemn as hopeless.”As Holbrook and the women of Hull House worked to better improve the lives of those in the city, the ‘better class of citizens’ were leaving it. Since the 1850s streetcar suburbs were popping up everywhere to whisk affluent commuters in and out of the city; including one of America’s first planned communities, Riverside, Illinois. It was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead and it provided the bucolic utopia that continues to lure Americans from dense urban cities to this day. By 1873 Chicago had 11 different privately operated streetcar lines serving over 100 communities. Streetcar lines continued to stretch further distances all the way up to the twentieth century when the automobile arrived. This 1889 map shows the extent to which these suburbs dotted the surrounding landscape of Chicago.Many believe the proliferation of roadways and automobiles created suburban sprawl in Chicago and cities like it. But it was the streetcar suburbs of the 1800s — all crafted by real estate developers looking to cash in on opportunistic land grabs. The roads of Chicago present connect the nodes of Chicago’s past. As you can see on the map, one of those suburban communities is named Lyons. Remember Lyons? That’s where Jolliet and Marquette tugged their canoe through the slough. Then came Mr. Hubbard and the leeches too. Being the parasitic predators they are, they latch on to whatever life they encounter and forcefully, selfishly drain the life from unsuspecting victims. Showing a lack of mercy, they inject an anti-clotting chemical into the victim to prevent them from forging a natural occurring defense. And for every leech you manage to dislodge and dispatch, another appears. Waves of leeches will consume a host leaving only the leeches.As waves of European colonial expansionists and empire builders leeched the lifeblood from unsuspecting Indigenous humans and dignity seeking dreamers they polluted the environment with their oozing industrial excrement. And so as to not wallow in their own toxic waste, they crawled over the masses calling for help, and hopped on a streetcar in search of a pristine, natural, patch of prairie next to a meandering river or lake bordered by the plant the locals called Checagou.

Below are links to historic items we discussed and some additional relevant research for those interested in a deeper dive into the history. Franquelin Map of Louisiana of 1684There are several terms on the Franquelin map are helpful to know:Chicagoumeaman - refers to the northern portage route of today's Chicago River to Mud Lake (or Oak Point Lake) to the Des Plains River and the literal translation from Kaskaskian (an Algonquin dialect) is "false Chicago" for Native Americans this river was not the way to Chicagoua.Shiskikmoaskiki - refers to the Des Plains River and the literal translation from Kaskaskian (an Algonquin dialect) is the "pissing tree" referring to the swamp maples that were native to the banks of this river that could be tapped to make maple syrup.Makaregemou - refers to the Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers and the literal translation from Kaskaskian (an Algonquin dialect) is "crooked river" due to its meandering course and many tributaries.Marquette's Journal in the Jesuit RelationsHenri Joutel's Account - A Journal of the Last Voyage Perform'd by Monfr. de la Salle, written in French by Monsieur Joutel, first translation by Melville B.

Released Friday, March 29, 2019 - On the 344 Anniversary of Father Marquette getting flooded out of his winter camp in 1675, at the place the Indians called Chicaogua. In real estate it's all about "Location, Location, Location."  So what happens if our Chicago isn't really in Chicago? Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet explored a land that Native Americans called "Chicagoua" in 1673 and left clues to where this place can be found. It took historian John Swenson over three decades to unravel the mystery of the location of Chicago, and the evidence he found - remarkably - calls into question the story told by most 19th century historians. This first episode chronicles a brand new history for Chicago as co-hosts Chris Lynch and Patrick McBriarty talk with John Swenson sharing a new spin on the European discovery of the Windy City.  You will hear his story of digging into original French manuscripts, early maps, and travel accounts to determine Marquette and Jolliet were not the first western Europeans to the Chicago area.   It is the first of a new and fascinating origin story of this place we call Chicago, in two parts.

För mormonerna fyller släktforskning en viktig religiös funktion och de har därför under lång tid samlat in och dokumenterat olika arkiv runt om i världen. Resultatet av deras arbete är miljontals mikrofilmer och böcker som idag finns samlade i Family History Library i Salt Lake City i USA. Släktforskning har blivit allt populärare och Vetenskapsradion Forum besöker den här veckan mormonernas stora släktforskningscenter i Salt Lake City. Att släktforskningen är viktig för mormonerna beror bland annat på att de tror att man i efterhand kan döpa och välsigna avlidna släktingar och att släktingarna på så sätt får komma till himlen efter detta livet. Därför har mormoner runt om i världen, bland annat i Sverige, dokumenterat och mikrofilmat olika arkiv och kyrkböcker. Mikrofilmerna har de samlat i det så kallade Family History Library i Salt Lake City, staden där mormonkyrkan också har sitt säte. I veckans program möter vi bland annat 17-årige Porter Ricks från den lilla byn Mud Lake i Idaho som det senaste året har lyckats spåra över 3000 släktingar genom släktforskning, och Naomi Newbold som är Skandinavienexpert på mormonkyrkans Family History Library i Salt Lake City, världens största släktforskningscenter. Programledare är Urban Björstadius.
