Queens of the Mines is a women’s history podcast.
Season 3 features inspiring, gallant, even audacious stories of REAL 19th Century women from the Wild West.
Season 2 features women from California history while Season 1 Tells stories of women from California’s Gold Rush. Until recently, historians and the public have dismissed ”conflict history,” and focused more on the history that opposing beliefs could manage to agree on for some mutually beneficial end.
Important elements that are absolutley necessary for understanding American history have sometimes been downplayed or virtually forgotten. If we do not incorporate racial and ethnic conflict in the presentation of the American experience, we will never understand how far we have come and how far we have to go. No matter how painful, we can only move forward by accepting the truth.

Charley Parkhurst - The Brave Stage Driver Part 2 of 2 FROM THE VAULT Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

In Vermont in 1812, Mary and Ebenezer Parkhurst, a young couple, had three children, Maria, Charlotte, and Charles. After the sudden death of one of the children, the couple abandoned the other two. They were sent to an orphanage in Lebanon, New Hampshire where they were raised under the care of an unkind man named Mr. Millshark. Men had a greater advantage over girls in the battle of life. Charlotte, the youngest of the two, became aware that women had few economic opportunities. She felt her only chance was to be a seamstress, laundress, teacher or sex worker. So, when she was 12 years old, she left Maria, her older sister at the orphanage, stole a few pieces of boys clothing and ran away to Worcester, MA. Charlotte then took on the name of her deceased brother, Charles, or, Charley. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andreaandersin/message

The Occupation of Alcatraz - FROM THE VAULT Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

Support Queens of the Mines with a tip! Venmo- @queensofthemines CashApp $queensofthemines Paypal southernminequeen@gmail.com The famed Alcatraz prison on Alcatraz Island was in operation from 1934 to 1963. For most, the thought of Alcatraz may bring up a Hollywood film or some of the most notorious criminals in America. But the island carries a different symbolism to the native coastal peoples of California. The California Ohlone Mewuk which translates to coastal people, passed down an oral history that tells us that Alcatraz was used by their Native population long before anyone else “discovered” the San Francisco Bay. Trips would be made to the island in tule boats for gathering foods, such as bird eggs and sea-life. It was also used as a place of isolation, or for punishment for naughty members of the tribe. The island was also a camping spot and hiding place for many native Americans attempting to escape the California Mission system. In 1895, the island was being used as a US fort and military prison and 19 Hopi men served time on Alcatraz for trying to protect their children from being sent to federal Indian boarding schools, which we discussed last week. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andreaandersin/message

Freda Ehmann Mar 12, 2023

Show notes

Olives, technically classified as a fruit, is a powerful fruit. It would benefit most people to eat around 5-10 olives a day. A rich source of powerful stuff,antioxidants, minerals and vitamins and 80 percent of the calories in an olive come from healthy fats. They are a great way to prevent cancers in today’s toxic world, and Bonus! Eating olives improves the appearance of wrinkles by a whole twenty percent! When it comes to the history of olive groves in California, you need to know about Freda Ehmann, the human responsible for the perfect black rings we eat on our pizza today, the ‘Mother’ of the California ripe olive industry. Season 3 features inspiring, gallant, even audacious stories of REAL 19th Century women from the Wild West. Stories that contain adult content, including violence which may be disturbing to some listeners, or secondhand listeners. So, discretion is advised. I am Andrea Anderson and this is Queens of the Mines, Season Three. Our story takes place in California, where nowadays olive trees are abundant, but fun fact, olive trees are not native to California. It was at the San Diego Mission in 1769, where the first olive cuttings were planted in California. Many of the olive groves in California are up to 150 years old, but olive trees have an average lifespan of 300 to 600 years. Average, some can live as long as 2000 years. The oldest known cultivated olive trees in the world were grown before the written language was even invented. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andreaandersin/message
