Beyond the Bear: Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Hugh Glass is best known for his incredible survival story. After being mauled by a grizzly, being left for dead and dragging himself nearly 250 miles across the country - his story, or at least a version of it, has been immortalized in the film The Revenant. But Hugh’s life goes beyond his encounter with the bear - what came before and after are just as wild as a ride, and are worth movies of their own.

The Book Women of Appalachia: Cumberland Gap National Historical Park Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

In the midst of the worst economic disaster in US History hope was being carried through the rural communities tucked amongst the rugged mountains of eastern Kentucky. The Pack Horse Library Project sent women on horseback through the most remote regions of the Cumberland Mountains to deliver reading materials to isolated homes and communities. The project gave hundreds of women their first taste of independence and purpose, and provided thousands of Appalachians their first glimpses into the world beyond Kentucky through the pages of books.

On July 27, 1985 a group of five people climbed Half Dome, one of the most prominent rock faces inside the park. A summer storm brewed over the summit, but despite the dangers, they continued on.
