Box Number SevenWhat in the Dickens? A look at my favorite Christmas Film In October of 1843, the literary genius Charles Dickens sat down to embark on what was in its original intent a cold, calculated business venture, intended to offset impending financial losses. While his previous works, The Pickwick Papers and The Old CuriosityShop had risen to meteoric levels of sales and positive critical acclaim, other works like Barnaby Rudge and Martin Chuzzlewit had conversely registered numbers far less in magnitude than the author had originally expected. This left Dickens slightly bewildered and uncomfortable--and somewhat compromised—as his business partners of the day were tightening the pressure on him to...

Box Number SevenBus Number 17--The Horror in ProbertaNovember 30th, 1921, Over 100 years ago—a rural town in northern California was engaged in the mid-season holiday machinations. People baking pies, making presents and generally enjoying the wintry intermission between Thanksgiving and the upcoming Christmas celebrations.What was a normal foggy winter morning--would become a moment that was so horrible, that there is no way to recall the moments without invoking the carnage that ensued.—the moment that a school carriage containing 15 souls would intersect with an oncoming train, killing nearly everyone, many of them instantly—the horrific nature of the scene—a a scene that technically reverber...

Box Number SevenSwinging in the Wind: The Lynching of the Ruggles Brothers In May of 1892, John and Charles Ruggles conspired to rob a Wells Fargo Stagecoach just outside Shasta Ca. A man would be killed in the process and by July a clandestine community of men would circumvent the judicial process. Right or wrong, the moment cast a pall over California--as the photographic remnant would be disseminated worldwide.Further speculation about there the stolen gold was, might be or is goes on every today.On this episode, I am joined by Ryan McCloskey, most recently appearing on Discovery Channel's Expedition Unknown with Josh...

Box Number SevenVirginia City, Flour Sacks, and the Unmarked Grave of Milton MygattIn episode 17 of my podcast, I discuss the 1909 Airship disaster in Redding, California that claimed one life and damaged another. Perhaps you remember my peripheral fascination with the 78 year old man that was trampled in the melee--, and the brief itemization of physical traumas he survived before--and after this one.I went back, simply intending to make a more detailed itemization of my hero-sub-plot--dude.--and discovered that he was a ridiculously-active human being, with his fingers in everything.And he was present during some of the Wests's most formative years.

Kennedy‘s brain was removed and put to the side in a metal canister. Shortly after that, it was gone and really never found again.
