The American Southwest

This is a podcast of the people, places, and things of the American West. Think cowboys and Indians, bison and cactus, national parks and ghost towns, Mormons and prospectors, nukes and aliens, Tombstone, the Anasazi, Route 66, and everything in between. I’ll dive deep into historical people and events and the cultures and policies that helped shape this area of the American frontier world that’s left so many of the rest of the planet in envy of the mythic American Southwest.

    The Civil War in the Southwest

    This is the fourth episode in the series over the Civil War in the Southwest. In this episode, Baylor and his Texans march north toward Fort Fillmore to take the Fedral post by surprise, but his plans are thwarted. Instead, he marches to the Confederate aligned town of Mesilla. Eventually, Yankee Major Lynde attempts to take the town from the Rebels but is repelled which ultimately leads to his stunning surrender in the high desert heat after abandoning the Fort completely. The hopes and dreams of a Confederate Empire in the Southwest become real as the area of southern New Mexico and modern day southern Arizona are declared the Confederate Territory of Arizona by Governor Baylor.

    The Civil War in the Southwest

    This is the third episode over the Civil War in the American Southwest. This episode covers the Texan Santa Fe Expedition of 1841 to take the New Mexican land from the Rio Grand eastward, the hostilities between Texas and the Federal Government that almost led to the Civil War before the Compromise of 1850, and the hopes of the future Confederacy in the American Southwest. It also covers the secretive Knights of the Golden Circle and their dreams for a slave empire in the Americas. I also cover Union Commander Canby, Confederate Commander Baylor, and a slew of other characters who will impact the war in the American Southwest. Towards the end of the episode The South and Texas secedes from the Union and the latter begins preparations for battle in New Mexico. This is the third and final introductory episode before the Civil War actually begins.

    The Civil War in the Southwest

    This is the second episode over the Civil War in the American Southwest. This episode covers the biography and views of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. I also discuss Southern Democrat Warhawks and their desire to expand American Manifest Destiny throughout the Northwestern Hemisphere. It also goes into deep detail over the ties between the Southern United States and the Napoleonic Emperors of France. I also discuss at length how the Southern Jeffersonian Democrats wanted to rid themselves of the menace of England’s constant meddling. Also mentioned are the American filibusters in Nicaragua and the Yucatan, the US Camel Corp, and Jefferson Davis’ hope of a second American Revolution. This is the second of three introductory episodes before the Civil War actually begins.

    The Civil War in the Southwest

    This is the first episode over the Civil War in the American Southwest. This episode covers the initial rift in the new United States of America between Democrats and Federalists and their diplomatic desires to be closer to either France or England. It also covers the question of slavery among the Founding Fathers, England’s constant meddling in the US, the War of 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte and his commanders’ influence on the new Republic, and John C Calhoun. This is the first of three introductory episodes before the Civil War actually begins.

    The National Park Service: America’s Greatest Gift to Mankind & Thoughts on How We Can Fix It

    The National Park Service is the greatest gift to mankind that the American Experiment has thus far created. Forget everything else you think of when you think of the United States. But the NPS is in trouble and I can only see it getting worse. Unless something is done, and soon, the parks won’t be as enjoyable to visit as they are now.

    The Apache: It Takes A Strong Man To Kill A Friend

    This is the fourth episode in the series over the Apache Indians in the American Southwest. This episode covers the immediate consequences of the “cutting of the tent” and the murder of Mangas Coloradas by the US Army. Cochise, betrayed and angered by the death of his family, friends, & father-in-law goes on the warpath and punishes any and all White Eyes (and Mexicans) that he encounters. This obviously leads to far-reaching consequences for both the Americans and the Apaches of the American Southwest.
