    Conestoga Town: Episode 20- Gandestoga and Modern Memory Dec 12, 2024
    Show notes

    In this, our next-to-last episode, we get ‘meta’ and look at the story of the ‘Paxtons and Conestoga’ as just that—a story. We also examine how that story has been retold, manipulated, appropriated, and occasionally fabricated over nearly 300 years in print, prose, movies, television, and, best of all, graphic novels.

    As a bonus, we—my contributors and I—get to show our homework: how we came to this story, what we did with it, and why.

    Show notes

    In which we see how the impact of the Paxton Boys' violence and the complicity of the colonial elite extended far beyond the immediate victims, shaping the political landscape of colonial America and contributing to the growing tensions that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.

    Inspired by the Paxton Boys’ impunity, other groups, like the Black Boys, take up arms against both Native Americans and the British Army and shape a new frontier and a new political culture.



    Conestoga Town: Trailer Nov 22, 2024
    Show notes

    Conestoga Town is an opportunity to delve into a hidden chapter of American history, one that challenges our understanding of the nation's origins and the very foundation upon which it was built. A story that is only now being uncovered. And likely one that you and your audience have never heard of. I know I didn't before I made this series

    "Conestoga Town," doesn't just recount history – it rewrites it. We've meticulously uncovered long-buried evidence that exposes the shocking complicity of America's Founding Fathers in the brutal Paxton massacres and the systematic genocide of the Conestoga people.

    This isn't a dry historical account. "Conestoga Town" weaves a compelling narrative that traces the events from the backcountry of Pennsylvania to the halls of power in Philadelphia, revealing how the seeds of violence and oppression were sown into the very fabric of our nation. We explore the chilling parallels between the political climate of colonial America and the present day, raising urgent questions about the enduring legacy of these atrocities.

    The series features powerful first-hand accounts from descendants of the Conestoga people, shedding light on the intergenerational trauma that continues to this day. We also bring together leading historians, Indigenous scholars, and legal experts who provide critical context and analysis, painting a comprehensive picture of this dark chapter in American history.

    Given the current national dialogue surrounding issues of social justice and historical reckoning, "Conestoga Town" offers a timely and critical perspective with its shocking revelations and profound implications, will spark important conversations and challenge long-held assumptions about our nation's past.

    Show notes
