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.

Cathay Williams Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

In 1843, Cathay Williams was born to an enslaved woman and a free black man, ironically in Independence, Missouri. It is hard to know an exact day, because records were not kept for the birth of slaves, and if you were born to an enslaved woman, you were born property. Cathay’s childhood was spent on the outskirts of Jefferson City, Missouri, working for years as a house slave on the plantation of a wealthy planter by the name of Johnson. Union forces took over Jefferson City in the early stages of the Civil War. Slaves were released and persuaded to serve in voluntary military support roles. Captured slaves within Union lines were officially designated as contraband. When we say contraband today, usually the first thought would be illicit drugs, or something else forbidden. But back then, humans were labeled Illegal goods, “contraband.” Over 400 women served in the Civil War posing as male soldiers. Today we are talking about Cathay Williams, the only known female Buffalo Soldier. Williams was not only the first black woman to enlist, but the only documented woman to serve in the United States Army, while disguised as a man, during the Indian Wars. She was a pioneer for the thousands of American women serving in armed forces in the United States today.

I am Andrea Anderson and this is Queens of the Mines, Season Three. From the early 19th to the early 20th century, minstrelsy was a popular form of American theater. Minstrel shows were based on the comic enactment of racial stereotypes. This tradition hit its peak between 1850 and 1870. The earliest shows were staged by white male traveling musicians mimicking the singing and dancing of slaves, with their faces painted black. Minstrel troupes did not welcome actual black performers until after the Civil War. And then, these minstrel shows were the only theatrical medium in which gifted Black performers of the period could support themselves. By the 20th century, women were also appearing in minstrel shows. On June 10 of 1893, Susan had their thirteenth child, a daughter. They named her Hattie. On the account of the family being so poor, Hattie was malnourished, weighing only three and a half pounds at birth. Although the McDaniel family often went hungry, they were tight-knit and creative. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andreaandersin/message

Ni’ka - Part 3 of 3 FROM THE VAULT Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Wherever you are in this hemisphere, you are on Native land. Never forget, that before the Spanish arrived in California, for thousands of years, from sea to shining sea, this was indian country, with more than 300,000 Natives living here, representing more than 100 tribes, each with its individual traditions and cultures, most completely lost by the arrival of settlers. Write that down, and burn it into your brain. “The history of genocide casts a shadow over California. It hovers over the land of the endless summer, over Disneyland, over the surfers, the Beach Boys, the palm trees, the Hollywood Sign … and yet, there is also a story of California Indian resistance and survival that is miraculous.” This was said by my hero, Benjamin Madley, he is an associate professor of history at UCLA and has been on a more than decade-long odyssey to document and reveal the existence of this government-sponsored genocide.

Ni‘ka - Part 1 of 3 - FROM THE VAULT Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Wherever you are in this hemisphere, you are on Native land. Never forget, that before the Spanish arrived in California, for thousands of years, from sea to shining sea, this was indian country, with more than 300,000 Natives living here, representing more than 100 tribes, each with its individual traditions and cultures, most completely lost by the arrival of settlers. Write that down, and burn it into your brain. Never forget that the Russians, European-American colonists, and Spanish missionaries‘ arrival on the Pacific coastline forever changed the native people’s way of life. The first known interaction with the Natives in California was in the Monterey area in 1602, when Sebastián de Vizcaíno’s Spanish expedition was searching for a safe harbor for their ships. Well over 100 years then passed with little attention paid to Alta California. Then, Gaspar de Portola’s expedition of Spanish missionaries arrived in the Monterey area in 1769 and Spain began colonizing. Erasing the identities of the California indigenous people who entered the mission, in exchange, they were given a wool shirt with long sleeves called a cotón, and a wool blanket. The women were also given a wool petticoat and men received a breechclout to cover their groin area. They were then forcibly baptized into the Catholic faith, and thrown into labor camps that were filthy and disease ridden. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andreaandersin/message
