Blind Joe Parsons

Episode 12: We present the story of a piece of history nearly lost; we talk about antique photography; we hear about a blind hero of the Civil War who became an amazing horse trainer; we learn the value of research; tell about a trip to the Antiques Roadshow; and talk about some interesting synchronicities…. or maybe just wondrous coincidences.  Episode 12 notes and links: If you would like to help us continue to make Strange Familiars, get bonus content, t-shirts, stickers, and more rewards, you can become a patron: http://www.patreon.com/StrangeFamiliars You can find Alison and a collection of antique photographs for sale at http://www.OdPeacock.com Sarada: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtBySarada Michael Anderson: https://drekka.bandcamp.com Contact us via email at: [email protected] http://www.facebook.com/strangefamiliars instagram: @strangefamiliars http://www.strangefamiliars.com Intro and background music by Stone Breath – which is our band.
