Tonight, Eric is joined by special guest Charles Gustine, host
of the podcast Iconogrophy. When these two let
met, Eric was a guest on Charles' podcast to discuss witchfinding
and modern Salem. Tonight Charles returns the favor as the two
discuss Hannah Duston: A Mother's Revenge!
Hannah Duston was a puritan woman living in Haverhill,
Massachusetts in 1697 when she, her servant and her infant daughter
were taken captive by Native Americans. The Natives were involved
in a war against the English at the time, and they told Hannah
their plan was to torture the captives and then ransom them back to
their families. Hannah didn't like the sound of this, but when one
of the natives killed her infant daughter, Hannah began plotting
not only an escape, but very possibly a shocking act of
revenge.
Eric and Charles will discuss the complicated legacy of Hannah
Duston's story, what to do with monuments erected to celebrate
people/events we're not so sure we should be celebrating anymore,
the over simplification of Native American history, the Matter
Family, and Tarantino films on tonight's episode!
