Fascinating history. I am a Townsend descending from Townsends that settled in America in the mid 1600’s. I know they spread far and wide and the history is amazing.
Harper was actually 20. He turned 21 in December of that year. And Fredson wasn't the first Alaska Native to graduate college. He was the first to graduate from a university specifically, and the first male Alaska Native to graduate from college. Harper's two older sisters graduated from college with teaching degrees years before Fredson attended college. Obama restoring Denali's name would've been fine if he hadn't been a hypocrite by doing it. He stole the Nobel Peace Prize from Gao Zhisheng. It was awarded to him for the _exact same reason_ Denali was awarded to McKinley: Making stereotypical campaign promises. If Obama was going to restore Denali's name, he should've also given back the Nobel Peace Prize so that it could be properly given to the rightful winner. Taking a people from, "Nature hates you and you have to beg it to be nice or you will die," to, "The God who made nature loves you, and you respect nature because God wants you to take care of it so that it in turn can take care of you," isn't a step away from their cultural identity. It is instead recontextualizing it so that they no longer have to live in fear. Fear is not a good motivator to take care of the land. A genuine love of the land's Creator is. Besides, every culture has something in its religion or belief system that ties back to God as described in the Bible. What Karstens didn't understand--and perhaps what Stuck didn't make clear to him--was that Stuck's primary goal in everything he did was to promote the wellness of those in his mission field. That's why he wanted Harper and two of his top students on the trip. It's why he handled the publicity as he did. He didn't initially realize that Karstens felt slighted. And he tried to make his intentions clear after the fact, but Karstens refused to hear him out. Karstens liked Harper (everyone did; Harper was practically a Marty Stu), and he's the one who put Harper in the lead on summit day. But I do wonder, if Karstens had understood that Stuck wanted to use the climb primarily to bring attention to the missions to Alaska Natives, would he have gone through with his part in it?
Thank you so much for shedding light on such a phenomenal woman who embodied living with no limitations, even in the Jim Crow era and segregation❤💫🦋🩷🌸! Chef/entrepreneur Mrs. Lena Richard was a powerful woman, brilliant, brave, and I am in awe! We do stand on the shoulders of giants😭. I am a health coach from Detroit. At my heaviest, I weighed 310 lbs, and I am only 5.2. In 2019, I weighed 275 lbs. I went on a miraculous weight-loss journey and lost 140 lbs, naturally in less than 2 years! I love cooking on my Facebook page. I thought about Julia Childs and her show. That made me research who was the first black woman who had a television cooking show and I stumbled across this beautiful being💫! I will get the cookbook and honor Mrs. Lena Richard's and prepare her dishes on my RU-vid and Facebook channel! I will keep her legacy alive🤎! pamelasbutterflylife.com
Good podcast! Good work! Interesting that Sigrid was protective and took a stand when the school would not accept a Jewish student. I wonder what that was about for her since antisemitism was typically and also, politically accepted.
Wow I'm 67 years of age tomorrow and I'm still fascinated about history and learning about new subjects thanks for posting. Subscribe? No brainer. Best wishes from the UK.
Hi, I am a regular viewer of your RU-vid channel, if you allow me I would like to share about your youtube channel. This topic is very important for you. Nice history Thank You❤
I am also sitting here knitting, listening to your wonderful information on fellow knitter's during World War One. I send all my knitted items to the Salvation Army in my city for distribution and feel that I am helping out someone. I am so grateful that my Mother had patience to teach me to knit a sweater in my teens and have since been knitting my whole life. I call myself a knitaholic as I knit every day and it brings me a sense of accomplishment and peace.
Betty Dodd and the Babe were lovers. Read the biography by Susan E. Cayleff called "Babe - the Life and Times of Babe Didrikson Zaharias" in which she interviews Betty!!
It’s such a shame that so much of the language and culture didn’t really work its way down. My maternal great grandmother used was from Warsaw and spoke English as a second language. I didn’t even know this until doing a 23 and me. (I’m from Peoria)
That ""apology" From Steele? The same Chicago Sun-Times article that EVERY left-leaning media outlet cited? Yeah...that was proven to be an unsubstantiated lie, which is why it was retracted.

Hate to be picky, but the Kitchener stitch is a way of closing the toe of a sock rather than the heel. It's a grafting technique that closes the toe without a seam. (I'm actually knitting a sock as I listen.) Very interesting subject, I'm fascinated by how much society has changed in the last 100 years.
Actually, there is a pattern wherein the heel is joined with Kitchener stitch. I was surprised too, and I plan, if I can locate the directions, to try the pattern. Best wishes.
@@sheilal3172 I’ve never heard of that and would be interested to know more. There are certainly many ways to turn a heel. However, from a historical point of view the Kitchener stitch was named after Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, who prompted the invention of the technique specifically to prevent chafing of the toes.
@@sheilal3172 Thanks, but I hate the Kitchener stitch so much I learned to knit toe up socks to avoid it. LOL Might be interesting, but don't put yourself out.
2:52 There are accounts of 20 people seeing or touching the golden plates, including Emma Smith. 11 signed they saw and touched the plates, 3 signed they saw the Angel Moroni and the plates. Respected men, prosecutors, wealthy businessmen and skeptics, some who angrily left Joseph's church, yet swore on their deathbeds they saw the plates. Read primary accounts.
7:40 Joseph as Mayor was lawfully ordered to shutdown a newspaper as a public nuisance. Govenor Ford's charge of treason was a legal farce to hold Smith as Ford was complicit in the political assassination of the presidential candidate Joseph Smith. Ford thought Joseph would interfere with the election of the Kentuckian Henry Clay. He "disbanded" the Warsaw Militia, sending the Warsaw Militia to assassinate Joseph. The Carthage Grays, the jailers expected them had guns loaded with blanks. Joseph Smith was killed by evil men in high places for the sake of power. Joseph was the victor of countless false charges proving he was a far better man than those charging him.
6:39 Why plop a confusing D&C 132 verse where much of the context of the verse about Emma is only known to Emma, Joseph Smith, and the Lord? It seems to be about her own marriage, about remaining faithful, etc. You injected that it's about plural marriage. The chapter speaks about marriage in general. The word "destroyed" in verse 41 is applied those who violate their covenants, so it means they will be separated from God. Though I don't suppose it is beyond repentance to become not destroyed again. But Emma was faithful, so I don't think we'll ever know what would have happened. Your desire to unsettle people creates more questions than it informs. Get better sources.
2:52 False - 20 People saw or held the Gold Plates: Only anti-Mormons sources keep saying Joseph didn't let anyone see the plates, but he did. Eight saw and hefted the plates. Three others both saw the plates, touched them and saw the angel Moroni himself, all 3, all at the same time. There were technically 20 witnesses of the plates' physical existence, including Emma Smith and even non-Mormon Josiah Stowell saw them. The witnesses were among the most respected men of their community, they were skeptics, and even when they had no love for Joseph or his church, not one of them ever retracted their testimony of seeing the plates, the angel, and that Joseph really translated them, no matter how much they might have hated Joseph, even David Whitmer on his deathbed affirmed that as a fact.
I knew Gordon and Charlie in their latter years of their lives. They were great friends of my grandmother and Charlie was always the star of the show, where I remember Gordon, he was rather low key and often could be quite grumpy.
All of his work was very autobiographical and a lot of characters (including my grandmother) were real people. She hated when he described her by writing about the “bells of her bottom”….
One little fun fact. Lignou Street (Hydra) was first called donkey shit lane by Gordon and Charles and is still referred to by its nickname by most people.
The moment I realized I wasn’t Polish…I was an American came when I went to a liquor store in Crestwood, gave them my id to buy booze, and based off my last name (Kowalski) they started speaking to me in Polish and I had NO CLUE what they were saying. lol I told them to back it up. Hahaha
I have a second ww housekeeping book with receipies for cooking with rationing ie.meatless,eggless, sugarless,etc.recycling used garments into other clothing..as fabric for civlians became less available...and from all services ...patterns of all needed knitwear. It defines by its content to what extent the home front was essential. Keep up the great work of looking at all those forgotten bits of history...esp. women s contributions..signed zsuzsika fom my friends place
