King Arthur: Fact or Fiction?

History Loves Company ·

2024/09/19

Like 'Gilgamesh' or Homer's 'Odyssey,' the legend of King Arthur is one of the Western World's foundational stories, one whose tales of triumph, glory, and virtue have inspired such disparate factions as the Tudors and the Kennedys. But is there any truth to the story? Was Arthur a real person? And what, if any, historical accounts from this shadowy period of British history survive to corroborate his existence?

Muck and Mire: The Boston Molasses Flood

History Loves Company ·

2024/09/12

As kids, we often dreamed of visiting a land made of candy or other sugary substances. But for people living in Boston's North End in 1919, this fantasy became a terrifying reality, as a giant wave of molasses swept through the neighborhood, injuring some 150 people and claiming 21 lives as a result. Just what caused this industrial disaster? Who or what was at fault? And how was it that the North End smelled sickly-sweet for decades afterward? Tune in this week to find out.--- Support this

2024/08/29

There have been a number of (in)famous mutinies throughout history, but perhaps none was harrowing, as human, as that of the Spanish schooner-turned-slaver, La Amistad. One fateful day in 1839, her human cargo cast off their proverbial and literal shackles and revolted against their overseers. A series of court cases ensued in the United States, but would the captives be found guilty of murder or would they get off Scott free?

Hot Off the Presses!: Gutenberg's Printing Press

History Loves Company ·

2024/08/15

Throughout much of history, the copying of printed material was a long and tedious and process that took the writer several days, weeks, months, even years, to complete. Particularly in Medieval times, places known as scriptoria saw scribes, usually monks, spending hours of back-breaking work hunched over illuminated manuscripts. While beautiful works of art in their own right, something had to be done to make the copying of texts quicker, more efficient and less labor-intensive. Enter Johannes

The history of Rome is perhaps best known and most famous for its days as a vast empire, the largest of the Ancient World. But before Augustus Caesar declared himself its first emperor, it was a republic and had been for some five centuries.

Anyone who's been to the United States knows that each state has its own flag. Texas has the Lone Star Flag, a remnant of its days as an independent nation. Hawaii's has the Union Jack in its upper left-hand corner, a reminder that a Brit, Captain Cook, was the first European to "discover" the islands in the 18th Century. And California has the so-called "Bear Flag." Depicting the now extinct California grizzly Bear on a patch of grass, the words "California Republic" are written in black letters

While the boat may be the oldest form of man-made transportation to be made into a reality, it's quite possible that humans have been thinking about flight even longer, noting birds, flying insects, and other species that could take to the skies with ease. As such, humans have been experimenting with flight since civilization began and it was the fruit of their labors and research that contributed to the vehicle we now know as the airplane.

Prior to that, it was under the colonial yoke, when France claimed it as part of its overseas empire. But before all this, a power known as the Champa Kingdom ruled over the country's southern half, leaving behind the hallmarks of its civilization in the form of temple complexes and palaces.
