In the summer of 1673, two now famous Frenchmen and five others who are all but nameless traveled by canoe from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the Straits of Mackinac to central Arkansas on the western bank of the Mississippi River, and then back again. Louis Jolliet was a new sort of Frenchman, a natural born North American, having come into this world in Quebec in 1645, now a fur trader and voyageur. Jacques Marquette was the more usual sort, having been born in France in 1637.  By the time of the expedition Marquette was a Jesuit priest, long known to the nations of North America as a “Black Robe.” The episode begins with an overview of New France in the years between Samuel de Champlain's death in 1635 and 1661, when it languished because the Five Nations of the Iroquois had it entirely bottled up. The expedition was a marker of New France's rapid expansion after King Louis XIV began to rule in his own right that year. Along the way, our heroes become the first Europeans to visit Iowa (Go Hawks!), see some extraordinary painted monsters, learn the importance of the calumet, and find a short portage in the eastern continental divide at a place soon to be called Chicago.

Roadside attractions aren't always the kitschy photo op we imagine them to be. Some have a complicated history that you can't see from the side of the road. Last episode, we took a road trip to Southern Illinois to look into a metal, firebreathing dragon. Today, we're looking at a different landmark in nearby Alton: the Piasa. Unlike the Kaskaskia dragon, the Piasa has a centuries-old history that starts with the Indigenous people of what is now the Mississippi River. The Piasa — as most people know it — is a mythical creature painted on the bluffs of the Mississippi. The image depicts a winged figure with antlers, fangs and talons. It's a recreation of the original image which was destroyed in the 1850s because of quarrying on the bluffs. Through the centuries, different stories have been told about the meaning and origins behind this creature, including one that is popular but fabricated. Dr. Mark Wagner, director of the Center for Archaeological Investigations at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, talks about the layered history of the mural. Logan Pappenfort, director of tribal relations for the Illinois State Museum, talks about why it's important to uplift true cultural artifacts and says the real history behind them isn't hard to uncover if you know where to look.

Ponder, if you will, a creature of myth and Legend born from The Whispers of ancient winds. It is known as the Thunderbird, a colossal bird-like Phantom that soars high above the land, its wings stretching wide like the sky itself. In the realm of Native American folklore this creature is not just a bird, but a Harbinger of dark storms over time. Tales of this legendary beast have drifted into the modern world leaving behind a trail of curious sightings and strange encounters. Like Echoes In a Canyon these reports are often dismissed. Hoaxes, they say, or the tricks of nature, but in the shadows of our minds, in the places where reason gives way to wonder the legend of the Thunderbird endures. As you gaze into the stormy Horizon ask yourself this.. Is the Thunderbird a mere figment of folklore, or a glimpse into the unknown? We'll see you on the inside… ------ TIME STAMPS: THUNDERBIRDS 0:00 - Something to Ponder 1:00 - Spooky Thunderbird Intro Music 2:20 - Let's Talk About the Legendary Thunderbird 3:41 - Thunderbird Sighting in Alaska 5:42 - Reviving the Smithsonian/Bones Bit 6:03 - Never Trust a Man With 3 First Names 11:00 - Birds & Whales 13:26 - The Hunter's Wife & The Nest of Bones 16:00 - Smallpox Effect on Native Alaskans 17:30 - Giant Thunderbird Talon vs. Musk Ox Horn 17:48 - Honorable Large Bird Mentions Via Christian 18:43 - Bakersfield Condors Wingspan Joke.. 19:50 - Juicy Hot Thunderbird Goss 21:03 - Scott Mixes Up Fae Lore w/ Lord of The Rings (Oopsie) 22:00 - Another Thunderbird Story 25:25 - Another Another Thunderbird Story 26:48 - Comment Your Thoughts So Far: Yay or Nay to T-Birds? 27:32 - Thunderbird Turns People to Stone 31:25 - Thunderbird Causes a Flood 32:24 - Greatly Under Appreciated Jars of Clay Ref 35:23 - KEN HAM?! 36:52 - Weird Correlation to Red Haired Giants of Lovelock Cave 38:13 - A Story From The Sioux 41:47 - The Piasa vs. Mike Piazza  43:10 - Mike Piazza Made My Wife Cry 44:47 - The Cave Floor Was Covered in Bones 46:37 - One More Little Tidbit. 49:02 - The Open Discussion 53:23 - Every Podcast Does Alaska Stuff -------- If you want to become a producer, visit this link: http://bit.ly/3WZ3xTg Episode Producer: Eric Long -------- Armed with nothing more than a non-sensical soundboard, a fascination for all things unexplained, and a heaping dose of dry humor; TFD is a weekly paranormal comedy podcast featuring real ghost stories, Cryptid lore discussions, and true paranormal experiences catering to the week's theme.

Please enjoy the extra content. We will be dropping a new show new week. The accounts of the Piasa bird were first written down by a French explorer. We've  talked a lot about the Europeans but when I think of Europeans I think of the British or the Spanish. I don't really think of the French. Maybe it's because of our location in California. The explorer goes on to say We came across “two painted monsters” that were as large as a calf; they have horns on their heads like those of deer, a horrible look, red eyes, a beard like a tiger's, a face somewhat like a man's, a body covered with scales, and so long a tail that it winds all around the body, passing above the head and going back between the legs, ending in a fish's tail. Green, red, and black are the three colors composing the picture. The natives in this land are known as the Illiniwek.

She coauthored Chasing Dragons: The True History of the Piasa along with her husband Mark Nickless.  In it they  examine the mural on a rock outcropping along the Mississippi River, upstream from St. Louis.  They present convincing evidence that this painting is from an early 15th Century Chinese exploration of the North American continent.  Laurie and her husband have lectured internationally (China, Malaysia and London) on their research and were featured speakers at the Midwestern Epigraphic Society.  Arising from "Dragons," Laurie spent over the last decade translating the concluding 15 chapters of the lost manuscript from the Ming Dynasty's early 15th Century circumnavigation of the globe.  These chapters, which comprise Laurie's translation To the Gates of Fengtu,  make it obvious that the Chinese sailors visited America's largest Native city Cahokia.
