Kylah Smith, junior history major at FHSU, joins Hollie to discuss what mourning practices looked like in Victorian Era America. She unpacks differences in mourning practices based on gender, societal status, and relationship to the deceased. Kylah also discusses mourning fashion and etiquette and how women's roles changed during the Civil War. 

In the early 1700's, Jean Baptiste Baudreau II had a unique mixed heritage that enabled him to forge connections with both the French colonists of the American south and the Native American tribes. He was a rebel without a cause.... no really, we aren't quite sure what his cause was.... but he was found untrustworthy amongst the white colonists because of his strong ties to the indigenous people.  After spending years in prison for crimes we, again, aren't quite sure of, the local officials decided to use him as an example by sentencing him to death using a very medieval device: the breaking wheel. In this Mardi Gras themed episode, we talk about how this execution method worked and the legacy Jean Baptiste has on modern day New Orleans.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones’s 1619 project has inspired both throngs of like-minded people as well as a severe backlash. This hasn’t stopped her from devoting her career to exposing systemic and institutional racism in the United States. The 1619 Project WAS published in New York Times Magazine—and is now a successful podcast and television series.

So, why 1619? That was the year an English ship carrying enslaved Africans and flying the Dutch flag appeared on the horizon of Point Comfort, Virginia. It ushered in the beginning of slavery in what would become the continental U.S., bringing unprecedented anguish and hardship to the generations that followed. No aspect of American society is untouched by the centuries of slavery that ensued. From the contemporary economy to American popular music, 1619 implores us to radically rethink America as we know it.

Additionally, they touch on the reluctance of the scientific community to accept the existence of giants, the discovery of Egyptian artifacts in Alabama, and the potential for undiscovered indigenous tribes in America.

While now of days you might be excited to find out you're a wizard, that was not the case in 1692. The Salem Witch Trials resulted in 19 people hanged, 1 person pressed to death, and 2 dogs being shot. In this episode, we revisit this gruesome time in America's history (mostly to follow up on the 2 dogs), but also to tell the story of George Burroughs, who was amongst the 19 people hanged for witchcraft. Not only was he one of the few men to be found guilty, but he is also the only pastor to be executed for these crimes in American history. Once you were accused of conspiracy with the Devil, it was difficult to escape the executioner's noose regardless of title, and Burroughs was no exception. 

In this episode, I interview Sarah January, writer, content creator, author for History Collection, and teacher, about untold stories in history.  Join us as we chat about some of her favorites, James Armistead Lafayette,  Sylvia Mendez, Fred Korematsu, and Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte.  Never heard these names?  Great!  Sarah will tell you all about them and we'll discuss how to use their stories in your classroom.  Heard of everyone?  Also awesome!  You'll love this episode.

H.H Holmes is one of America's oldest serial killers who met his fate with an excruciating hanging. While he confessed to 27 murders, historians believe there could have been as many as 200 victims. Evidence suggests the majority of his crimes took place in his own Chicago based building conveniently blocks away from the World's Fair. The building was primarily retail space and apartment living, but later became known as the Murder Castle due to its vast size and and terrifying presence. The building was a series of maze-like hallways, mysterious hidden rooms, chutes that lead to the basement, and, not to mention, an entire torture chamber. Despite Holmes' wit and charming allure, he was a villain loose on a killing spree and eventually received his well deserved ending.

Tom "Black Jack" Ketchum was an unfortunate soul who robbed trains in the wild, wild west. Eventually, the law caught up with him and he was hanged in front of a public crowd. Too bad the executioners didn't know what they were doing! In this episode, Dr. John (a real-life doctor!) joins the show to give a medical perspective on what happens to a body during a botched hanging like this. Yee haw! 

"SHE'S A WITCH!!" Gossip, betrayal, and - of course - execution. And you thought getting along in the modern world was bad? Try surviving Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 where if you weren't popular, you were being sent to the gallows... as a witch. Listen as Elizabeth Black and Megan Moore give their take on 3 of the most well known Salem Witch Trial victims: Bridget Bishop, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey.
