"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

The Battle of Long Island was a major defeat for the Continental Army, but General Washington's skillful retreat saved the army from total destruction. Under the cover of darkness and fog, Washington managed to evacuate all 9,000 troops across the East River to Manhattan, a feat considered one of his greatest military achievements. Despite the tactical loss, Washington's leadership and the resilience of the Continental Army were preserved, allowing them to continue the fight for independence.

Battle of Bound Brook 7:26

cách đây 7 ngày trước7:26

7:26

In April 1777, British forces under Lord Cornwallis launched a surprise attack on the Continental Army outpost at Bound Brook, New Jersey. This strategic location on the Raritan River was vital for controlling troop and supply movements. The outnumbered American forces were caught off guard, leading to a swift British victory. While the British captured supplies and routed the Americans, they quickly withdrew, allowing the Continental Army to regroup. This battle highlighted the vulnerability of detached outposts and led General Washington to consolidate his forces and strengthen defenses.

British War Plans for 1777 8:03

cách đây 15 ngày trước8:03

8:03

In 1777, the British aimed to crush the American rebellion with a two-pronged strategy: isolate New England by capturing Albany, New York, via a three-pronged attack led by Burgoyne, St. Leger, and expected support from Howe. Howe on the other hand wanted to capture Philadelphia to demoralize the Americans. It was the British commanders' lack of coordination and conflicting plans, especially Howe's decision to pursue Philadelphia instead of supporting Burgoyne, ultimately set the stage for crucial events in the Revolutionary War.

The Forage War 7:55

cách đây 4 weeks trước7:55

7:55

The Forage War was a series of skirmishes and raids that took place in New Jersey during the winter of 1777, amidst the American Revolutionary War. It was a direct consequence of the Battles of Trenton and Princeton. The Continental Army, led by General Washington, aimed to disrupt the British supply lines and weaken their forces by systematically removing provisions and livestock from areas accessible to the British. The British, in turn, were forced to send out foraging parties to find food and supplies, leading to clashes with the American militia and Continental Army regulars. The Forage War was characterized by its guerilla-like nature, with small groups of American militia and regulars ambushing British foraging parties and disrupting their supply lines. Notable skirmishes occurred near Elizabethtown and at the Battle of Millstone. The constant harassment and attacks took a toll on the British forces, causing heavy casualties, loss of valuable supplies, and a decline in morale. The Forage War demonstrated the effectiveness of the American militia and significantly weakened the British army.

In this episode we focus on the events and significance of the First Battle of Trenton, a pivotal battle during the American Revolution. In 1776, the Continental Army was demoralized and facing collapse. General George Washington devised a daring plan to cross the Delaware River on Christmas night and surprise the Hessian garrison at Trenton. The plan was risky due to the harsh winter conditions and the strength of the Hessian forces. However, Washington's intelligence network provided crucial information about the enemy, and his leadership inspired his troops. Despite the challenges, the Continental Army successfully crossed the river and launched a surprise attack on the Hessians. The battle was a decisive victory for the Americans, who captured nearly 900 Hessian soldiers and a large quantity of supplies. The victory at Trenton was a turning point in the war, boosting morale, inspiring enlistments, and demonstrating that the British could be defeated. Washington's tactics, including the element of surprise, flanking maneuvers, and effective use of artillery, were crucial to the success. The battle also highlighted the importance of intelligence gathering, adaptability, and the resilience of the American spirit. Thanks to Google Gemini for helping craft this story. 1.
