81: 1870 Timeline Twist & The Murder of A.P. Crittenden

On today’s episode, Valerie presents a bit of history, including some firsts for African Americans in the USA, balloon mail, “Bourbon’s First Bottler”, an early solution to tinned food, the “Early Bustle Era” (can you say TRIM?), and a massive beer and BBQ party in Syracuse, NY, in the 1870 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo covers the excessively familiar story of a jilted lover turned murderess, but with a dash of extra-dramatic flair. It’s a story involving a gentleman with two first initials (hello 1800s), a ferry (Boat Watch!), a long black veil, a wild west silver mining town, first wave feminism in Gilded Age San Francisco, and not one, but two trials with groundbreaking outcomes. These are a few of our favorite things!
