@@BudehgongMost of our info on vikings comes from the christians who were horrified they'd rob churches and kill priests (because as usual christians think everybody knows their sacred places and should respect them while destroying other culture's similar things). In reality vikings were likely as violent or non-violent as any other culture at the time. As for the alcohol, we know vikings had barrels of water on ships that they replenished on trade centers (they were skilled traders). Drinking alcohol was of course common too since people kept polluting the water around them. Medieval alcohol was however weaker than what we usually drink now. TLDR vikings weren't violent drunkards any more than people from other cultures. Unfortunately they either didn't write about themselves or they got lost so we're left with the writings of racist religious zealots.

When I was a child I was raised by my old aunt’ s tastes in music and literature. I was given Victorian children’s encyclopaedia to read and magazines from the 1920s. We joined a club to buy records from the ‘20s and ‘30s. As such, I was an odd child and bullied constantly for my lack of knowledge of pop music. However, my point is this: I really expected beef tea when unwell, and my aunt would replicate it by watering down tinned Beef Consommé (an already thin soup) with boiling water, so I could sip the concoction and believe I was being suitably revived.

So a note about the taxidermy--the reason why it's there is because the method that it uses was founded by Carl Akeley (the father of modern taxidermy) and was actually very new at the time to make them so realistic (he only mastered his method around 1900). His method and his own personal knowledge and experience with wildlife meant that he could accentuate things like musculature much better and make animals look as if they were alive, leading to the tableau dioramas you see at natural history museums still today. Having them be set in their natural habitat wasn't the norm until this point since this allowed visitors to see animals within their natural context and not just as parts of cabinets of curiosity. He was even the one who went to hunt the animals originally, which is part of why he had such a good grasp of their natural history and how he had photographs to work from as well. You can still see most of his famous works today at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, and the Smithsonian in DC in the diorama halls. The Hall of African Mammals here in NYC is still named after him.

The Statue of Liberty made of salt was 12 feet tall. So 1/25th scale. Also Bartholdi was at the 1892 world's fair selling other statues.

@AverytheCubanAmerican 4 месяца назад

For those who don't know, Dahomey was a kingdom in what's now Benin that lasted from 1600 to 1904. They fought the French in two wars, the first leading to giving up Porto-Novo and customs rights in Cotonou to the French in 1890, and the second leading to it to become a French protectorate in 1894 (and eventually a full colony in 1904). When it gained independence as a republic, it kept the name Dahomey until 1975 when it was renamed to Benin as Benin was deemed politically neutral for all ethnic groups. From what I found, the salty Statue of Liberty (exhibited by the UK) was twelve feet tall. Interestingly, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who sculpted the real Statue of Liberty, came back to the US in 1893 and visited the fair. He visited because he was exhibiting and attempting to sell more sculptures. There was a bronze pairing of Washington and Lafayette and a silver Columbus. The Columbus statue was made for the fair but was cast in Providence. After the fair, the statue returned to Providence where it was melted down and a bronze cast of it was made and it stood until 2020 (reinstalled in nearby Johnston in 2023). The Washington and Lafayette monument was not purchased in Chicago and went back to Paris. It was purchased for NYC in 1900 and is at Lafayette Square by Morningside Park. Bartholdi had hoped to display them at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Selling them in 1893 to Chicago was his backup plan. No one wanted to meet his price at the time, so he took them back home. It is unknown if he ever saw the Statue of Liberty made of salt, as it was in a different pavilion from his exhibition.

Hello Kaz! As a sapphic women interested in history, you have been an extremely important part of my personal research, and my life. Whenever I have a difficult day in my small, conservative town I sit down and watch your LGBTQIA+ history videos. Your history videos have given me a window to my ancestors. You have given me historical figures I can finally relate to! So when my present seems hostile and isolating, I can look to the past to find belonging. Sorry if this seems rambling.

There's also an article I especially like about Indigenous performers at Seattle's first world's fair by Josh Reid titled "Professor Igloo Jimmie and Dr. Boombang Meet the Heathens: Indigenous Representations and the Geography of Empire at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition" in Pacific Northwest Quarterly (2010).

I like that Chicago lists key events of its city's history like the world's expo and the great fire on its flag through the stars and how each point individually stand for a value from those events. It does make a lot of sense that the Florida pavilion had the best orange cider, it is Florida after all! Nikola Tesla had stuff at the fair too! Part of the space occupied by the Westinghouse Company was devoted to demonstrations of electrical devices developed by Tesla including induction motors and the generators used to power the system. The rotating magnetic field that drove these motors was explained through a series of demonstrations including an Egg of Columbus that used the two-phase coil in the induction motors to spin a copper egg making it stand on end. The Egg of Columbus refers to an apocryphal story, dating from at least the 16th century, in which it is said that Christopher Columbus, having been told that finding a new trade route was inevitable and no great accomplishment, challenges his critics to make an egg stand on its tip. After his challengers give up, Columbus does it himself by tapping the egg on the table to flatten its tip. Tesla himself showed up to Chicago for a week in August to attend the International Electrical Congress, being held at the fair's Agriculture Hall, and put on a series of demonstrations of his wireless lighting system in a specially set up darkened room at the Westinghouse exhibit. These included demonstrations he had previously performed throughout the US and Europe, including using a nearby coil to light a wireless gas-discharge lamp held in his hand

The Mammoth Cheese was produced in the small rural town of Ingersoll, Ontario, which had cow pastures aplenty. It also had a poet by the name of James McIntyre, who wrote poems mostly about cheese, a subject which he contemplated with the same enthusiasm that Bunyan contemplated salvation and Wordsworth contemplated the infinite. Cheese was the center of McIntyre’s epistemology, eschatology, and metaphysics. The Mammoth Cheese was not only exhibited at the Columbia Exhibition, but it was sent to Paris. It premiered at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, and it's on this occasion that McIntyre wrote his masterpiece, "Ode on the Mammoth Cheese Weighing over 7,000 Pounds." I present the poem here for your edification: We have seen thee, queen of cheese, Lying quietly at your ease, Gently fanned by evening breeze, Thy fair form no flies dare seize. All gaily dressed soon you’ll go To the great Provincial Show, To be admired by many a beau In the city of Toronto. Cows numerous as a swarm of bees, Or as the leaves upon the trees, It did require to make thee please, And stand unrivalled, queen of cheese. May you not receive a scar as We have heard that Mr. Harris Intends to send you off as far as The great World’s show at Paris. Of the youth beware of these, For some of them might rudely squeeze And bite your cheek, then songs or glees We could not sing, oh! queen of cheese. We’rt thou suspended from balloon, You’d cast a shade even at noon, Folks would think it was the moon About to fall and crush them soon. What can one say? McIntyre was apparently a very nice man, beloved in his community, and sincere in his dedication to the muse. In poem after poem, he celebrated the delights of turophilia, and pride in the agricultural achievements of Ontario. If you have ever sampled some of the better country cheeses of this province, such as Harrowsmith or Balderson’s, you might be tempted to place them on the same plane as salvation or the infinite. In fact, I would dare to place them on a higher plane. I don’t really have a handle on the infinite, and I don’t believe in salvation beyond the grave, but I can appreciate a good cheese.

Lovely video as always! A museum near my hometown has a small part of the 1893 World's Fair; Tiffany glassworks designed and built a byzantine inspired chapel that was just meant to be used as a space to showcase ecclesiastical supplies but it's Tiffany so the whole space is a total work of art. It ended up being transported to Tiffany's estate in New York, was left abandoned after his death, and nearly destroyed by a fire in the 50's. It ended up being transported to Winter Park, FL and it's a part of the Morse Museum there. Highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area, they have a huge collection of Tiffany works and other Victorian/Edwardian/early 20th century art (tho they don't have the orange cider, fake floridians smh).

The Parisian newspapers had a headline that (translated) read, "It was Chicago at the Etoile!" Dad knew what that meant.

Next, they should do the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair--it has a lot of wild stuff, including the debut of the fax machine and the x-ray machine, as well as baby incubators (with babies inside them!). It also had a lot of very creepy colonialist/imperialist/racist "anthropological" exhibits worth discussing. It also had a prominent female organizer named Florence Hayward whose contributions deserve to be publicized.

You know what would be really good for that beef tea? Make a batch about 4x the size. Add a lot of onions, celery, carrots and potatoes before simmering. Add more salt than you think you need (but not by too much) and a bunch of savory spices. Remove the beef, chop it up fine, add it back to the mixture, simmer for a while longer and eat it all with a spoon. If you just add a lot more veggies (a portion of them added in about the time you would chop up the beef) you can even remove the beef entirely.

I bought some old Chicago Historical Society museum magazines at the museum back in the 1980s and one of them had a great layout and text about the fair. I'm always bummed that too much emphasis has been placed on HH Holmes, because the fair itself is way more interesting (and a lot of the sensational stuff about Holmes, including the alleged murder castle, were press fabrications) and the fair would be my number one destination for my mythical time machine. Thanks for this respectful look at this grand and weird event.

And one of the Minnesota entries was a life sized statue of a priest being rowed in a conoe by Native Americans ( that alone using 1,000 lbs of butter). Crazy to think how they kept all those structures from metling and structurally sound in 1904.

HERE, where we literally have legislatures forcing guns into schools for the 'safety' of the kids we continue to have murdered in their classrooms? Have you not searched 'gun left in school bathroom'? You can give them all the evidence and facts about Chicago's guns coming from Indiana, or it actually being REALLY low on the murder per capita list in the US, but it's always going to circle back to Chicago. It's mind boggling, and yes - always comes down to racism.

Viking ships: Modern reconstructions of Viking Age ships look a little different and, in my eyes, more elegant. In Oslo they have a museum where they exhibit preserved Viking ships: Gokstad-ship, Oseberg-ship Tune-ship. There is also a Viking ship museum in Roskilde. In both places, they build the new Viking ships by original methods as part an experimental archaeology learning process. The clunky Victorian viking ship reconstruction still show up in illustrations all the time. And a side note: the danish word for Ferris wheel is Paris wheel. (Pariserhjul) No one is aware of this Ferris person. Haha!

He liked to go on random tangents about torture devices. His favorite saying was, "Mother's baby, father's maybe" and then would go on a lecture about how men did unhinged and terrible stuff to secure themselves an "heir", and how women had to suffer for men to be "sure" that a baby was theirs, and how that affected X part of history. Then he'd go on tangents about riots that happened during his (present day) travels, etc.

As a traditional recipe recreationist myself, I'm gonna suggest that, by the ingredients and usual practice, the "orange cider", either version, was also left to ferment for probably 2 or 3 days before serving. They may not have included it in the instructions, but like ginger ale or ginger beer, it was understood that you needed to let it sit to marry and get some alcohol in it. Since no yeast is specified, we can also assume they would have expected natural yeast, so the water or equipment probably wasn't sterilized or boiled.
