  • The Real Artemas Ward
    2025/11/26
    Artemas Ward is one of those figures the Revolution seems determined to hide behind a curtain. Everyone knows Washington arrived in Cambridge to take command of the Patriot army. Almost no one remembers the man already holding the lines, organizing the chaos, and keeping the British bottled up long enough for Washington to have something to command. That man was Artemas Ward of Shrewsbury, a careful New England general shaped by Puritan discipline, battlefield lessons, and a stubborn commitment to doing things the right way even when no one was watching. In today’s episode we dig into the true story of the first commander who stood between the Revolution and collapse. Ward never chased glory. He built the structure that saved the cause. We will explore his rise, his conflicts, his quiet victories, and the long fight his family waged to make sure history finally said his name out loud. It is time to bring him into the light.

  • DDH - Vandalia
    2025/11/25
    This week’s podcast opens with a grievance from the Declaration of Independence that rarely gets its share of attention. It sounds simple on the surface. The king tried to prevent the population of these states. Once you start looking at what that actually meant in 1776, the scene becomes far more vivid. It meant blocked land grants, stalled settlements, and a crown that wanted fewer colonists wandering past the Appalachians. The conversation walks through the almost forgotten plan to create a fourteenth colony named Vandalia. It highlights how close it came to becoming a real place and how British policy crushed it before the first surveyor’s stake ever touched the ground. The story reaches forward to West Virginia’s modern Vandalia Gathering and its liars contest, a reminder that traditions often grow from broken promises. The past has a long memory. This episode shows why that memory still matters today.

  • Fort Duquesne
    2025/11/25
    November 25, 1758. A cold rain falls on the forks of the Ohio. Exhausted British and provincial soldiers, expecting a final desperate battle, instead find only smoking ruins where Fort Duquesne stood the day before. The French have blown up their own magazines and vanished up the Allegheny River in the night. No flags are struck. No volleys are fired. Yet in that quiet moment the strategic heart of North America changes hands forever. This is the story of the Forbes Campaign, a six-month ordeal of axes, frostbite, and forced marches that finally broke French power in the Ohio Country. Led by a dying Scottish general and a Virginian colonel who had first tasted defeat on these same rivers four years earlier, a hybrid army cut a new road across the Alleghenies and forced the French to destroy the fort they could no longer hold. What followed was not just the birth of Fort Pitt and the city of Pittsburgh, but the opening of the American interior. This is how the continent’s future was decided, one muddy mile at a time.
