A Vice writer, and television host for the last two decades, this little cutie and idiot savant (his words not mine) is here to talk to us about what it was like to be handed your DREAM job in his thirties and trolled the world to write for what was once THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD - Vice Media.

On November 18, 1633, a book went to press in London. Its author, Thomas Morton, had been exiled from the Puritan colonies in Massachusetts for the crimes of drinking, carousing, and – crucially – building social and economic ties with Native people. Back in England, Morton wrote down his vision for what America could become. A very different vision than that of the Puritans. But the book wouldn't be published that day. It wouldn't be published for years. Because agents for the Puritan colonists stormed the press and destroyed every copy.Today on the show, the story of what's widely considered America's first banned book, the radical vision it conjured, and the man who outlined that vision: Thomas Morton, the Lord of Misrule.

We sit down with Thomas Morton to seek emotional truth among the shaky facts of some bestselling bullshit memoirs and a recent comedy “scandal.”

Book-banning might seem like a relic of less enlightened times, but the practice is back in a big way. The American Library Association reports that 2022 saw more attempts to have books removed from public libraries than in any prior year this century — indeed, it documented more than twice as many attempted bans in 2022 than in 2021. In schools, attempts to keep certain books out of the hands of students have been even more aggressive and draconian. What's new about these efforts is the subject that binds the most-challenged titles: Most of them address themes of LGBT+ identity or gender expression. In this episode, we talk with journalist Colleen Connolly about Thomas Morton's New English Canaan, the first book ever to be suppressed in North America. What did the Puritans find so threatening about it, and how has this book echoed through subsequent centuries? Then we're joined by Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, for a wide-ranging conversation about the history of book bans in the United States, how a resurgent wave of book bans in many states differs from those of prior eras, and why organized attempts to prevent specific people from reading specific books usually fail.

Description of Native Americans and English colonists in Massachusetts, by Thomas Morton of Merrymount.

Captain Wollaston creates a small settlement in New England, seemingly to use as a way-station and storage facility for Indentured Servants. Thomas Morton, one of his minor investors, had another plan in mind. Morton's neighbors in the Plymouth Colony will come to know him as, "The Lord of Misrule." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/osoa/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/osoa/support

Welcome back to ParaPower Mapping and the fourth installment of "The Secret History of MasSUSchusetts". It's a surprise double header! This was initially going to be one episode, but I got so obsessed w/ mapping William Pynchon's fur-trading monopoly and decoding the Rosicrucian wordplay in Thomas Pynchon's short story "Under the Rose" that I had to split this episode into 2. But don't worry, if you're anxious for our MasSUSchusetts Pynchon special, it's waiting for you. This episode includes: more maypole mythos; the veggie god Attis and "Great Mother" Cybele; correspondence b/w Cybele & Demeter; Demeter & Persephone myth variants, origins of the Eleusinian Mysteries; agrarian cult connections b/w the Eleusinian Mysteries & Cult of Cybele; aspects of the Eleusinian Greater Mysteries, sacraments, sacred words, and the prototypical oath of secrecy punishable by death (possible origin point of future initiatic societies' militant approach); the "Galli", the eunuch priests of the Cult of Cybele; the sacred feast day "Dies sanguinis" (Day of Blood) and their ritual castration; the ritual sacrifice continuum from Bacchanalia/ Dionysia, Thesmophoria, Eleusinian Mysteries, & Cult of Cybele to the Minotaur and child sacrifice to Moloch in Phoenicia & Canaan... ...the conclusion of the Saga of Thomas Morton; a note on Morton's maypole rite's efficacy as sympathetic magick and the fact that the frequent starvation of the colonizers likely contributed to their decision to hold the maypole revel; John Winthrop Sr. & the Puritan authorities' possible framing & murder accusations against Morton & their burning of his house; his second exile; Puritan attempts at suppressing his text New English Canaan; colonial-era depictions of indigenous society; the Ninnimissinuok & Algonquian pantheon, including elemental & cardinal directional deities, the creator god Kytan, & the evil Hobbamock; the Ninnimissinuok etiology of the giant Maushop/ Moshup, who threw massive boulders into the bay by Martha's Vineyard & used tree trunks to cook whales on spits; tobacco offerings to the giant; Ninnimissinuok ingenuity, craftsmanship, agriculture, and economy; the colonizers' weird race-science-y beliefs that indigenous Americans originated in the Trojan diaspora or one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel; Morton's belief in indigenous origins in the Trojan diaspora & attempts at syncretizing their spiritual beliefs into Greek & Latin myth; his argument that the frequent indigenous use of the word "Pan" indicated to past worship of the pagan god "Pan"; the Puritan desecration of Cheecatawback's mother's grave & other incidents of Pilgrim's backstabbing the Algonquian; Morton & Sir Ferdinando Gorges's legal quo warranto case against MA Bay Colony's royal charter; the resolution of Gorges's power struggle by his reception of a charter to territory in Maine; Morton's return to New England & death in Acomenticus... ...Puritan lit brat pack nepo-babies obsession w/ Morton; Jefferson & Adams family's interest in him; Nathaniel Hawthorne's numerous appropriations and other remixers of the Morton saga, including Longfellow, William Carlos Williams, the NYT, and the neo-pagan Thomas Morton Alliance; Robert Lowell's dramatization of Hawthorne's "Endecott & the Red Cross" and interest in Morton & Rosicrucian apocalyptic ideas; and finally Philip Roth's The Dying Animal and anti-protagonist sleazy professor David Kapesh's obsession w/ Morton and reappropriation of Morton as progenitor of the "cultural tsunami" that was the "sexual revolution" of Henry Miller & the 1960s.

“The Puritans feared that which was undomesticated.” — Jeff Hendricks“Our earliest American heroes were Morton's oppressors, Endicott, Bradford, Miles Standish. Merry Mount's been expunged from the official version because it's the story not of a virtuous utopia but of a utopia of candor. Yet it's Morton whose face should be carved in Mount Rushmore.” — Philip Roth “He held out the promise of America as an earthly paradise, a pagan, not a protestant prospect, a zone of pleasure, not salvation through suffering.” — John Seelye “Drink and be merry, merry, merry boys;Let all your delight be in the Hymens joys…Or make green garlands, bring bottles outAnd fill sweet nectar freely about.Uncover thy head and fear no harm;For here's good liquor to keep it warm.Then drink and be merry, Or yet, lasses in beaver coats come away, Yee hall be welcome to us night and day.To drink and be merry.” — Thomas Morton Today we are going to play with one of the greatest stories you probably have never heard of. Even in U.S. very little known about this story and it's a crime. If you have even a superficial knowledge of American history, you have almost certainly heard about the settlers who came to Plymouth in 1620. What you may not have heard about is that shortly thereafter a gentleman named Thomas Morton set up a different colony just down the road from Plymouth. At a time when most people arrived to Plymouth in chains, as indentured servants, Morton abolished servitude in his settlement he called Merrymount. At a time when his neighbors in Plymouth were brutally squashing religious dissent, Morton encouraged religious freedom. And on top of it all, he and his friends entertained extremely friendly relations with Native tribes even openly intermarrying. What makes the story even crazier is that Merrymount was well on its way to be more successful than Plymouth. When new settlers arrived on American shores, many took one look at ultra-strict Plymouth, another look at the freedom to be enjoyed at Merrymount and didn't need to be told twice which way to go. The only reason why Merrymount didn't make it in the history books you may have read is because the pilgrims turned to violence to destroy a community whose existence was a challenge to all of their beliefs. From that day forward, the name of Thomas Morton has largely been erased from history. Some people could refer to Morton as a victim of the Puritan brand of cancel culture. The Puritan story became mainstream, and Morton's name disappeared. This episode fixes this mistake.

This episode is about a happy-go-lucky Englishman named Thomas Morton, whom William Bradford dubbed the “Lord of Misrule,” and who would be a thorn in the side of Puritans in New England for more than fifteen years. Here's how Bradford described Thomas Morton in Of Plymouth Plantation: …Morton became Lord of Misrule, and maintained (as it were) a School of Atheism. And after they had got some goods into their hands, and got much by trading with the Indians, they spent it as vainly in quaffing and drinking, both wine and strong waters in excess (and, as some reported) £10 worth in a morning. They also set up a maypole, drinking and dancing about it many days together, inviting the Indian women for their consorts, dancing and frisking together like so many fairies, or furies, rather; and worse practices. Frisking! And worse... But Thomas Morton was much more than that. In many ways, he was the first new American of a very particular sort, and his story reminds us that American traditions have always been in a struggle with each other.

Every good story needs a villain, and some of the early chroniclers of the pilgrim and puritan settlements found all they needed for this type of character in Thomas Morton. Peter C. Mancall tells the story in The Trials of Thomas Morton: An Anglican Lawyer, His Puritan Foes, and the Battle for a New England (Yale UP, 2019), in what reads perhaps like a historical legal thriller novel. Most of our knowledge of Morton comes from the records left by his enemies, but Mancall's new research into this enigmatic figure unveils how this unlikely anti-hero can shed tremendous light on alternate possibilities in the contentious early years of the European-Native encounter. Morton's own writings portray a vision of an altogether different kind of indigenous–settler future. Yet Morton's continued antagonism of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonial governments led to his repeated exile. While he was repudiated by the earliest generations of readers for debauchery and political menace, subsequent generations continue to find in Thomas Morton a countercultural icon in a world dominated by religious dissidents.

Orgies, drinking songs, and - perhaps most damagingly of all - Paganism were rumoured tools of the colonist Thomas Morton when he established Merrymount, New England. It wasn't long before he was deported back to Britain by the Puritans on 9th June, 1628.It was his sympathy for the locals which had really done for him. But the headline-grabbing moment was his erection of a Westcountry-stye maypole, around which locals and settlers had danced and drank, and generally cavorted in ways that colonists aren't usually disposed to do.In this episode Rebecca, Arion and Olly consider why Morton's story is so rarely taught in schools; interrogate Encyclopedia Britannica's description of him as ‘picturesque'; and ask just how different Massachusetts really was from 17th century Devon...Further Reading:• Bob Neufeld reads Nathaniel Hawthorne's ‘The May-Pole of Merry Mount' (1836):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzS5xIZ4rI• ‘The Maypole That Infuriated the Puritans', from The New England Historical Society: https://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/maypole-infuriated-puritans/• ‘The two men who almost derailed New England's first colonies' at The Conversation (2016): https://theconversation.com/the-two-men-who-almost-derailed-new-englands-first-colonies-68213For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back tomorrow!

In this episode we discuss a book written by Thomas Morton (c.1579 –1647) an early colonist of North America and his book New English Canaan, printed in Amsterdam in 1637, a copy of which can be found in The Free Library of Philadelphia’s Americana Collection. Our guest is Peter C. Mancall. In his 2019 book, The Trials of Thomas Morton: An Anglican Lawyer, His Puritan Foes, and the Battle for a New England, he writes about the importance of Morton and The New English Canaan. Professor Mancall is a history professor at the University of Southern California, focusing on early America, Native Americans, and the early modern Atlantic world.

What role did religion play in Native American life? The religion or religious practice of the Natives along the Eastern Coast was much debated and observed. Some like Thomas Morton challenged the idea of organized Native religion. Others believed the Native worship and belief bore a resemblance to ancient Judaism. In this "bonus" episode (and precursor to our final look at Massasoit and his life), we'll discuss some of the pivotal activities and beliefs that drove the culture. It is just a snapshot of a much larger discussion. As we pare down our narrative we'll consider the power and prestige that a name can bring. As we pare down our narrative we'll consider the importance and the societal standing, how their native contemporaries may have perceived both Squanto and Hobomock. This consideration may lead us to rethink and reexamine the narrative that we have always enjoyed. Massasoit was a shrewd man. He was calculating. He was operating within the norms of his society. A society contemporary culture seldom really considers from the native perspective. We should. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

We discuss the story of Thomas Morton, The Lord of Misrule, and the author of America's first banned book. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
