  Endangered Eating - America's...

  Sarah Lohman

  Apples, a common New England crop, have been called the United States' most endangered food. The iconic Texas Longhorn cattle is categorized at critical risk for extinction. Unique date palms, found nowhere else on the planet, grow in California’s Coachella Valley, but the family farms that caretake them are shutting down. Apples, cattle, dates?these are foods that carry significant cultural weight. But they’re disappearing. In Endangered Eating, culinary historian Sarah Lohman draws inspiration from the Ark of Taste, a list compiled by Slow Food International that catalogues important regional foods. She travels the country learning about the distinct ingredients at risk of being lost: in Hawaii, she learns the stories behind heirloom sugarcane; in the Navajo Nation, she assists in the traditional butchering of a Navajo Churro ram; in the Upper Midwest, she harvests wild rice; in the Pacific Northwest, she spends a day reefnet fishing; on the Gulf Coast, she devours gumbo made with filé powder; in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, she tastes America’s oldest peanut. She learns from those who love these rare ingredients: shepherds, fishers, farmers, scientists, historians, and activists. And she tries her hand at raising these crops and preparing these dishes. Animated by stories yet grounded in research, Endangered Eating gives listeners the tools to support community organizations and producers that work to preserve local culinary traditions and rare, cherished foods.

  Oregon Trail and the Appalachian...

  The westward movement of Americans in the 19th century was one of the largest and most consequential migrations in history, and among the paths that blazed west, the most well-known is the Oregon Trail, which was not a single trail but a network of paths that began at one of four “jumping off” points. The eastern section of the Oregon Trail, which followed the Missouri River through Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, was shared by people traveling along the California, Bozeman, and Mormon Trails. These trails branched off at various points, and the California Trail diverged from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in southern Idaho. From there, the Oregon Trail moved northward, along the Snake River, then through the Blue Mountains to Fort Walla Walla. From there, travelers would cross the prairie before reaching the Methodist mission at The Dalles, which roughly marked the end of the Trail. 	As many who used the Oregon Trail described in memoirs, the West represented opportunities for adventure, independence, and fortune, and fittingly, the ever popular game named after the Oregon Trail captures that mentality and spirit by requiring players to safely move a party west to the end of the trail. 
  	The most iconic of the major American pathways is the Appalachian Trail, which completes the “triple crown” of the national hiking experience. Covering a range from central Maine to Georgia at a distance of 2,193 miles, it is the longest of the three, following the crest of the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge Mountains through 14 states. All in all, it encompasses 465,000 feet in elevation and hosts three million visitors each year for at least a part of the total distance. On an annual basis, approximately 4,000 hikers begin a south to north trek beginning at Springer Mountain, Georgia, with the goal of hiking all the way to Maine. The northerly direction is greatly preferred because of the weather.

  Shakey's Madness

  Robert P Boog

  Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts.  Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author.  Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."

  Thirteenth: Greatest of Centuries

  James Joseph Walsh

  It cannot but seem a paradox to say that the Thirteenth was the greatest of centuries. To most people the idea will appear at once so preposterous that they may not even care to consider it. A certain number, of course, will have their curiosity piqued by the thought that anyone should evolve so curious a notion. Either of these attitudes of mind will yield at once to a more properly receptive mood if it is recalled that the Thirteenth is the century of the Gothic cathedrals, of the foundation of the university, of the signing of Magna Charta, and of the origin of representative government with something like constitutional guarantees throughout the west of Europe. The cathedrals represent a development in the arts that has probably never been equaled either before or since. The university was a definite creation of these generations that has lived and maintained its usefulness practically in the same form in which it was then cast for the seven centuries ever since. The foundation stones of modern liberties are to be found in the documents which for the first time declared the rights of man during this precious period. (Summary from Preface)
