Lost at Sea in 1812
Amid the War of 1812, Charles Barnard and four companions were marooned in the Falkland Islands. Charles would be there for over 500 days, and it would be over four years until he returned home to New York. It is a tale of betrayal and survival. It is also the subject of Eric Jay Dolin's new book, Left for Dead. Eric joins me today to discuss Charles's ordeal and how he managed to survive.

Though he proposed some of the most original explanations for poverty and solutions for it, George is mostly forgotten today. Still, his story and his ideas are worth knowing.

A brilliantly eloquent explication of Quaker history and evolution. I am no expert and this interview is introductory for me as I’m researching an early to mid-nineteenth century individual who was smitten with Quakerism. Hamm provides a framework with which to tinker and build upon. If you are Quaker-curious and a neophyte like I am I strongly recommend giving this a listen. Thank you Dr. Hamm, great job Logan.
I found out I have Quaker ancestry, according to a family member on Gedmatch. Adkins and Atkinson are on both sides.

Great interview! As a new Quaker, I've learned a decent amount of what was discussed, but it was nice to hear a summary of it from an expert and gain a deeper insight. I also think "Pestilential Heresies" would a great name for a metal band.
This is a most excellent delve into the real inner mechanisms of the Friend's faith. Thank you for this presentation. I had heard the term Quaker early in childhood. I knew it to mean extreme conservative Christianity. I'm 45 now. Almost all my family are deceased, including all 4 grandparents, mom and dad, and even my own son. 😢 I started researching my ancestry because I'm one of the last people left in my line to remember we existed. I almost instantly traced my maiden name, Edgerton (I've never been married,) back to Richard Edgerton a proprietor of Norwich, CT. But several family historians can't agree on his parentage because there is conjecture that we may be descended from English nobility. My early searches on Richard Edgerton kept spinning me in a circle around 3 particular men. Sir Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount of Brackley, and MP. John Egerton 1st Earl of Bridgewater. And, Francis Egerton 3rd Duke of Bridgewater. I didn't think any of these to be my 10th great grandfather, as his name "should" be Richard based on the 10 most recent generations naming pattern, including my brothers. Here is the caveat. All other family historians refute that we come from nobility, I surmise, out of ignorance. We know for sure that Richard Edgerton, fought at Fort Mistick and at fort Saybrook. He was living in Saybrook when he married my 9th great grandma, Mary Sylvester, and had their first 3 kids. Then, they were one the first 35 families in Norwich. Richard served as Constable on at least one occasion. His name is on Founders Monument in Post and Gager cemetery. My 8th great grandfather Samuel married William Bradford's granddaughter, Alice Ripley (daughter of Major Joshua Ripley and Dr. Hannah Bradford.) Samuel and Alice would become two of the first Quakers in Connecticut. They are listed in numerous Quaker church records in New London county in Connecticut. Thomas Egerton 1st Viscount of Brackley, was one of the proprietor merchants, and members of Parlaiment who helped fund the purchase of the Saybrook Colony. His mother's name was Alice Sparke, and he was the proven illegitimate son of Sir RICHARD EGERTON of Ridley, Cheshire, England. My research tells me that Sir Richard Egerton is also the illegitimate father of my 9th great grandfather, Richard Edgerton, and his mother was Ellen Strood, of Brook, Ashford, Kent, England There is a legend that our progenitor "may have taken with a Quaker Miss and fell ot from family favour. " I had previously dismissed this quote for the last two years of my research until your comment at 21:35. If my 10th great grandfather was Sir Richard Egerton, and my 9th great grandfather dropped the title Sir, I'm starting to see how that might get him ousted from the family. I can't belive I still have an hour to go!🥰
Thank you for this excellent and very insightful emission, wish we could have Thomas Hamm on again !
Kantia apparently is a phantom phantom island, in that the entire account of its discovery and undiscovery was fictional
He didn't burn Savannah. Atlanta GA Colombia SC millegdeville GA which was the capital at the time but he said Savannah was too beautiful.
Interesting details about Poe's life. My own independent research subject, whose life I have delved into in equal depth, was an obscure 19th-century author named Mathew Franklin Whittier. After over a decade of research, I'm convinced that MFW was the author of "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," and "Some Words with a Mummy." I'm convinced he privately shared these with Poe in early 1842; and that when he published "The Raven" in the February edition of "American Review" under the pseudonym, "---- Quarles," Poe scooped it by three days in the NY "Evening Mirror," replacing MFW's pseudonym with his own name. Which is to say, Poe's claim to this poem was a brazen public scam. His subsequent essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," in which he explained how he wrote "The Raven," was also a scam (not a "hoax," as some scholars have suggested).
Very interesting. Thank you
Before these particular "indigenous peoples", is it possible there was a previous people? If so, they are the original people.
The Mi'kmaq people have stories of coming from the west and killing out the people who were here before.
They didn't immigrate for fun back then. It was because they were ignert as hell. A farm would only last a few years before they'd exhaust the soil because they didn't know jack all about proper farming.
Thanks for sharing! You have a great story telling voice, style, and cadence. I love the humor from the Victorian era! 😄
Good story, thanks...
My favorite UA-camr’s face-reveal??
Interestingly, it was actually the fifth French and Indian War; there were at least four other conflicts prior to the really large-scale one that preceded the Revolution. The nastiest one was undoubtedly King Philip’s War in New England, although that probably doesn’t count, considering it did not technically involve the French using the Algonquian river bands as proxies. Sadly, it is difficult to find good documentaries on that war, as the few that exist are so grossly politicised and rife with political correctness. The best books that I would recommend to any serious amateur historian about that conflict are Eric B. Schulz’s book and “Flintlock and Tomahawk” by Douglas Edward Leach. Do yourselves a favour and stay away from Atun-Shei’s “documentary”. Unless you like propagandised “history” where the narrative is “wypipo = evil”.
I couldn't agree more concerning that Autun-Shei clown. He is a mockery to all historians.
You know what I also find fascinating about the Sultana: in addition to its loss being the deadliest maritime disaster in U.S. history, the wreck of the Sultana is actually not in the Mississippi River anymore. The river changed course numerous times since the disaster, and when an archaeological expedition in 1982 uncovered the remains of the Sultana (which consisted of blackened wooden deck planks and timbers), they found them 32 feet underneath a soybean field in Arkansas, roughly two miles away from the Mississippi River's present-day route.
Very true. The ways in which the river ebbed, flowed, and shifted before being fenced in by levees is fascinating.
Amazing video mate
Gotta thank the UA-cam algorithm for this one! Great video.
Thanks for stopping by!
Being Irish, when I saw this video, Hy-Brasil sprung to mind instantly, so I was delighted to see it in your video. Seeing St Brendan's Island is even better! I'd love to know where these places were supposed to be (USA/ Canada, Caribbean etc). Excellent video, many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Having spent quite a bit of time out in the open ocean, phantom islands (mirages) were a common sight during the summer.
Magnet puns can be polarizing.
Very good listen. Thank you.

Get this through ur head.....the confederate are the traitors......period And bible hypocrits..... The mass grave in chicago(camp Douglas ) show how dead wrongggggg "Christians " where in subjugate fellow humans....
An excellent presentation, I only wish beaver had any significant monetary value today. My Maine woodlands are being devastated by the critters. I can’t find anyone to trap them.
Interesting. Random question do people pay for someone to trap them? Not for sale but to preserve their land. I’m not very experienced trapper but would be interested to move to Maine if there is work like that.
There is a niche market for licensed by the state of Maine nuisance animal trappers, You won’t get rich but it might help a dedicated trapper as land owners will occasionally pay to have beaver removed. I recently spoke to fur processing company and was informed beaver pelts have about doubled in price due to the market for Western Cowboy Hats. The beaver hair is processed into felt and used by hat makers. Apparently the demand is a result of the popular Yellowstone Series however, I doubt if anyone can make a living today trapping.
Great video. I knew these boats where dangerous but I hadn't heard about this incident in such detail, really terrible, a total nightmare. With what they went through in those prisons and the corruption of a few in charge... on both sides, these guys where just ordinary working men fighting for thier homeland. Very sad.
Quality content
Not bad. Thanks
Dangerous times back them.
The various indigenous groups (Canada entitles as "First Nation and Americans wrongly call "Native Americans") new themselves at "the people". The "people" had no distinctions/titles for the Europeans, Asians, and Africans that arrived in the 15th century and later to North America; suggesting their centuries/generations long unpreparedness for invasion, adaptation, and/or diversification. Great review, Ty.
Yup, no such thing as “first nations” that’s a stupid white people liberal thing natives don’t nor even did call themselves
Indians are from India, mate. Way out of date.
They are actually from the Americas, the Hindi people are from India. You’re welcome
@@sevenft3 No. grow up. More 'Hindu' is a religion. Lots of religions in India.
@@anomiceleven do some research, it’s clear that you don’t know American history
@@sevenft3 Ha! Columbus was trying to get to India and thought he was in India so called the people Indians. It is a stupid mistake that is more than 500 years old. I am not American and we consider calling Indigenous peoples "Indians" derogatory. You keep at it, Yankee.
@@anomiceleven Columbus?..🤣 just research the West Indies . Columbus had nothing to do with the Americas
Best Burger I ever had.👍 I ate two beaver burgers
They are freezing their butts off I promise you that 🥶👻
These guys are so tough
The real history of Canada is finally coming to light. I use Ai to research and uncover the truth wealth of the Indigenous communities.
And here I thought the beaver apocalypse is what modern American women are going through currently.
Such sparkling wit on here ! Only took an hour for the first Beaver joke.....and hopefully the last ?
That's GREAT
It is sad on how they killed animals for profit.
Compellingly awful.
Well put.
You must have meant farmers west of the Appalachias.
I did! Half hoped no one would notice. Sharp ear.
What song is played at the start? Good vid btw keep it up mate 👍
That's a rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," recorded by Cooper Cannell. Thanks for watching!
Great channel, but you’re really making me want to play AC Black Flag again.
Really enjoyed that. We'll done!
