I went to a really interesting talk this evening about freedom seekers who used the B&O Railroad to reach freedom in the 1800s. The Underground Railroad sometimes involved railroads, it turns out.
The researcher shared stories of specific people documented to have traveled that way. One person even shipped himself as a package.
There's a new exhibit sharing these stories at the National Museum of Railroad History and Innovation in Baltimore.

Heather Cox Richardson reveals how the Great Chicago Fire became a potent symbol in post-Civil War America, where fears of organized labor and so-called communists were stoked by events like the Paris Commune.

Vietnam never touched Montana's soil, but it touched everything else: 267 sons lost, a Butte miner's son who became the Senate's most powerful dissenter, Missoula students on picket lines, reservation warriors returning to a warrior culture that outlasted the war — and VA claims still being fought today. History that never really ended.
