SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND: Nation’s Metropolis: The Economy\, Politics\, and Development of the Washington Region
DESCRIPTION:with Royce Hanson and Harold Wolman |  Join authors Royce Hanson and Harold Wolman as they discuss their new book\, Nation’s Metropolis\, which describes how the national capital region functions as a metropolitan political economy. Hanson and Wolman distinguish aspects of the Washington region that reflect its characteristics as a national capital from those common to most other metropolitan regions and to other capitals. To do so\, they employ an interdisciplinary approach that draws from economics\, political science\, sociology\, geography\, and history. Originally aired July 2023.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Shopping in an 1850s Canal Town: a Material Culture Mystery Story
DESCRIPTION:with Blyth McManus\, Museum Curator C&O Canal National Historical ParkTuesday\, April 9 at 2:00 p.m. |  In the museum collection of the C&O Canal National Historical Park is a shop ledger from a merchant in Williamsport\, MD. Tracking purchases made between 1856-1858\, the ledger provides tantalizing glimpses into the everyday lives of its customers. Materials like flour\, spices\, and produce don’t usually survive long enough to become part of the archeological record\, but these are often the details that help us connect to the human side of history. It is also a glimpse into women’s history; although many (but not all) of the names are men\, often the women did the actual shopping using their husbands’ accounts.The owner of the ledger and the location of the shop are unknown. However\, the ledger provides important historical context to the park and the local area\, gives researchers a glimpse into everyday life\, and potentially provides additional context to the area’s archeological sites. New perspectives await in the pages of this mystery ledger.  Register here.

SUMMARY:History Conversations: Montgomery County’s “Gift” to DC: The Washington Aqueduct
DESCRIPTION:with Ralph Buglass | Tuesday\, April 23 at 2:00 p.m. |  The Washington Aqueduct\, carrying drinking water to the nation’s capital but running mostly through Montgomery County from Great Falls\, was a technological marvel when completed 160 years ago in 1864. After all that time of continuous service\, it is currently undergoing a major rehabilitation. Through current and historical photos\, Ralph Buglass will relate the fascinating history of this project\, now a National Landmark\, and look at its equally fascinating chief engineer\, Montgomery Meigs\, who was also Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army during the Civil War. In charge of all the troop logistics\, Meigs has been described as “second only to General Ulysses Grant” in winning the war for the Union.
