Ep. 23 Centaurs, Argonauts & the Labors of Hercules - An EPIC Tale of Colorado Part 3 Unbalanced Views (Of History)

Welcome Back to Unbalanced Views (of History)!
Brian & Garrick roll through this one without a sick, voiceless Mike in this one. The guys talk about the White Supremacy and violence in Kansas. They discuss the abolitionist John Brown. And they talk about the dual trends of economic collapse (Panic of 1857) and the discovery of gold in Colorado (in 1858). The guys look at the establishment of Denver, on indigenous land. They AGAIN look at the clear, concise, just, fair, efficient governance of the United States in the west. They look at western boosterism, fantastical technology, and the challenges faced by would-be Argonauts heading across the plains. Challenges than led one man to eat the bugs and another to eat...what he had to. So, grab your Pike's Peak Wagon and Pike's Peak Life Insurance and join us for Episode 23 - Centaurs, Argonauts, and the Labors of Hercules: An EPIC Tale of Colorado in the Old West.
