Scott and Jenn Bennie review the historical drama “Young Washington” (dir. Josh Irwin), which portrays George Washington’s early career in the French and Indian War from Fort Necessity (1754) to the Braddock Expedition and Battle of the Monongahela (1755).
Jenn separates accurate events—Washington’s 1753 mission to Fort Le Boeuf, the Jumonville encounter, the French-language surrender at Fort Necessity, and Washington’s survival at Monongahela with two horses shot out—from invented or compressed elements such as a romantic Fairfax plotline and some character substitutions.

This episode of Talk With History features an interview with screenwriter/lead actor Lee Wilson (as Confederate cavalry commander Earl Van Dorn) and actor David B. Meadows (as Nathan Bedford Forrest) about the feature film The Legend of Van Dorn, set in Middle Tennessee in spring 1863. They discuss how Wilson discovered Van Dorn through a Spring Hill play, Meadows’ initial reservations about portraying the polarizing Forrest, and the production’s emphasis on authenticity through filming at historic sites and battlefields.

Hosts Scott and Jenn, discuss Edgar Allan Poe while visiting Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, covering the mysterious circumstances of his 1849 death after being found delirious in the streets.
They trace Poe’s early life (orphaned, taken in by the Allan family), his Army service and brief West Point stint, and his struggling writing career, including The Raven’s 1845 publication for $9 and the death of his wife/cousin Virginia in 1847.
The episode details rival Rufus Wilmot Griswold’s scathing pseudonymous obituary, his acquisition of Poe’s literary rights from Maria Clemm, and forged portrayals that both damaged and amplified Poe’s fame before later rebuttals discredited Griswold.

Scott and Jenn recount Commodore John Paul Jones’s rise from a Scottish sailor who began at sea at 13 to a celebrated Continental Navy officer known for taking the fight to Britain, including the 1779 Bonhomme Richard battle with HMS Serapis that produced his famous refusal to surrender.
They follow the 1905–1906 detective effort to locate his remains under a paved-over Paris cemetery, their identification, Theodore Roosevelt’s battleship-escorted return to the U.S., and his 1913 reinterment in a sarcophagus beneath the Naval Academy Chapel crypt in Annapolis.

For our 200th episode...we inerview Professor Greg Jackson—host of the podcast History That Doesn’t Suck!
He talks about his upcoming book 'Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome'.
Greg argues today’s hyper-partisan media, gridlock, and political violence have clear precedents in U.S. history, from the 1790s newspaper wars to violent conflicts like the caning of Charles Sumner and the Baltimore riots. The book is a fascinating look at history and explanation of how we made it through those times...and showing how we can do the same today.

The episode revisits July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg’s Peach Orchard—one of the battle’s deadliest spots—and highlights Anna Etheridge (“Gentle Annie”), a rare woman on the front lines in skirts, armed with pistols, riding a horse with medical supplies, and tending the wounded under fire.
Scott and Jenn explain how Etheridge began serving with her husband in the 2nd Michigan as a laundress, shifted into nursing as combat intensified, and stayed with Michigan units even after her husband deserted, remaining with soldiers from early battles through Appomattox. They discuss testimony describing her as “cool and self-possessed,” her injury (shot in the hand) while continuing to aid others, and her recognition with the Kearny Cross (one of only two women to receive it).
The episode notes her later Congressional pension, work in Washington, DC, and burial with full military honors at Arlington, and suggests she deserves a Gettysburg monument.

At the Gettysburg Film Festival, Scott and Jenn interview director Bo Brinkman (Gettysburg, 1993; upcoming Gettysburg 1863) and actor Samuel Roukin (Turn: Washington’s Spies) about portraying the Battle of Gettysburg through the experiences of civilians—especially women and children—rather than traditional battlefield spectacle.
Brinkman explains choosing a 9-year-old lead to heighten the emotional impact of war, slavery discussions, and a home invasion, and describes the film’s visual idea of the house as a “witness,” often framed through windows and the passage of time across all of 1863, including aftermath.
Roukin shares how visiting the cemetery and walking the vast battlefield deepened his sense of the human cost, echoed by accounts of visible blood evidence at local sites.

Scott and historian Jenn recap their Easter weekend 2026 trip to the Gettysburg Film Festival, describing Gettysburg’s high-energy atmosphere, panels, and meetups with the history community. They organized a Thursday-night gathering of 10–15 content creators at The Gettys Burger, then attended a “Turn” panel about Washington’s Culper Spy Ring with actors including Samuel Roukin (Captain Simcoe).
They covered a panel on the upcoming film “Gettysburg 1863,” directed by Bo Brinkman and starring Roukin, highlighting its town-centered perspective and production details, and recorded a small-group interview with the director and actor.
As media, they photographed major events including a George Washington panel with Ken Burns, Chris Jackson, and Rick Atkinson, and a sold-out Hamilton panel with Chris Jackson, Phillipa Soo, and Okieriete “Oak” Onaodowan.
They also toured the battlefield with Addressing Gettysburg’s Matt Callery, captured sunrise photos at Little Round Top, and share local food and coffee recommendations.

In this episode of 'Talk With History,' hosts Scott and Jen transport listeners to April 1865, detailing the tragic and largely forgotten story of the Sultana disaster.
As a Mississippi Steamboat, the Sultana was overloaded with Union soldiers returning home from Confederate prisons. Just north of Memphis, the ship's boilers exploded, resulting in America's deadliest maritime disaster, with over 1,200 lives lost.

Join us on a journey through the life of Davy Crockett, a man whose adventures in the wild and later political life have made him a quintessential American folk hero.
In this episode, we recount our visit to his last cabin in Rutherford, Tennessee; a place steeped in stories of his legendary exploits. From his early days of hunting in the woods and earning a reputation for killing 105 bears in one season to his time as a congressman standing against President Jackson’s controversial policies, Crockett's life is a tapestry of bravery, charisma, and tragedy.

In this podcast, hosts Scott and Jenn discuss the naval history of the battleship USS Wisconsin, widely known as 'The Big WhisKey.' The ship, with a wooden deck and steel hull, was created during World War II and saw action in the Pacific. Involved in the battle of Iwo Jima, it played a vital role in shooting down kamikaze aircraft. After the war, it was used as a training ship before being decommissioned. It saw service again during the Korean War and the Gulf War and was finally made into a museum ship in Norfolk.

Legendary history of Devils Tower
Devils Tower, a geological marvel in Wyoming, formed around 50 million years ago and was designated as the first U.S. national monument in 1906. However, its significance extends beyond geology, as it holds profound cultural and spiritual importance for Native American tribes such as the Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and Kiowa. Known as "Mato Tipila" to the Lakota Sioux, it is a sacred site where legends tell of a young girl saved from a bear by the Great Spirit, leading to the tower's creation. Various tribes conduct religious ceremonies and vision quests here, and collaborative efforts with the National Park Service aim to preserve its cultural significance while allowing limited public access, highlighting the importance of safeguarding both natural wonders and indigenous cultural heritage.

Video: Mount Rushmore history
Mount Rushmore is a famous American landmark located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It features the carved faces of four prominent U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The idea for the monument was conceived by South Dakota historian Doane Robinson in the early 1920s as a way to attract tourists to the state. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was chosen to design and carve the massive sculptures, which began in 1927 and took 14 years to complete.
The choice of presidents was significant, representing key periods in American history: Washington for the founding era, Jefferson for westward expansion, Roosevelt for conservation and the progressive era, and Lincoln for preserving the Union during the Civil War. Mount Rushmore was officially dedicated on October 31, 1941.
Today, Mount Rushmore is a symbol of American democracy and a popular tourist destination, drawing millions of visitors each year who come to admire both the artistic achievement and the historical significance of the monument.

The American History Museum is a no-brainer visit for even the casual history fan. It's free, good for kids, and it would take a couple of days to see everything.
Jenn got to visit and record some short videos...but even for this historian, she had to put the camera down and just enjoy it. She tells us about the classic Americana you can see and many other exhibits worth making the trip for.

Our first ever "Watch with History" segment compares the 1969 and 2010 versions of the movie "True Grit." While the 2010 version has better cinematography, the hosts prefer the characters and humor in the 1969 version. Both versions follow the story of a young girl seeking revenge for her father's murder in the American Old West. The movie captures the spirit of the frontier and explores themes of determination, loyalty, and redemption.

Living in Memphis, Tennessee for 3 years taught us more than we expected about Civil Rights history.
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr., an American civil rights leader, was assassinated while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. The assassination of King was a shock to the nation and led to widespread outrage and protests.
In the days following King's assassination, over 100 cities in the United States experienced riots, looting, and violence. The National Guard was called in to restore order in many of these cities.
King's assassination also led to a renewed sense of urgency in the civil rights movement. Many activists redoubled their efforts to end segregation and discrimination, and King's message of nonviolent resistance continued to inspire and motivate people around the world.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island was an early attempt by English settlers to establish a permanent colony in North America and was established in 1587 on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina, by Governor John White and around 120 settlers.
Shortly after arriving, Governor White returned to England to secure more supplies and support for the colony. However, due to various reasons such as a war with Spain, White was delayed in his return for three years. When he finally returned in 1590, he found the colony abandoned with no trace of its inhabitants, except for the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree.
The fate of the Lost Colony has been a subject of debate and speculation for centuries.

Rose Greenhow was a socialite and a well-known political hostess in Washington D.C. during the 1850s. Due to her southern ties she eventually, became a Confederate spy and used her social connections to gather information and pass it on to Confederate generals. Her intelligence-gathering skills were valuable to the Confederacy, and she became one of their most successful spies.
In 1861, Rose Greenhow sent a message to Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard, warning him of Union troops' movements before the First Battle of Bull Run. This information helped the Confederacy win the battle and kick off the American Civil War.
Join us as we talk about one of the most famous female spies of all time.

The Loving v. Virginia case was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws in the country in 1967. The case centered around Richard and Mildred Loving, a white man and a black woman who were married in Virginia in 1958, and were subsequently arrested for violating the state’s anti-miscegenation laws. The Lovings were forced to leave Virginia and were barred from returning until their case was heard by the Supreme Court. In the landmark decision, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down all anti-miscegenation laws in the country, declaring them unconstitutional. The Loving v. Virginia case is remembered as a landmark moment in the civil rights movement and is still celebrated today.

I can't remember a time when so much history has been so concentrated in one "Fort" like it is at Fort Monroe in Virginia. This 400 year old army fort was the site of some of the first ever Africans that landed in America as well as a safe haven for enslaved during the American Civil War. Jefferson Davis was imprisoned there, Edgar Allen Poe served there, Robert E. Lee helped build it...the history is endless.

You ever wonder why the OJ Simpson trial was such a big deal? Do you remember where you were when the verdict came out? What were the social impacts of that trial? Does that kind of history matter to most people? Our Navy buddy Dave Rios, talks about moving around the country as a child and continuing that as an adult in the Navy...which may explain why he values personal history more than "social" history. From learning about the American Civil War while growing up in Baton Rouge to learning that the United States is fallible after the Challenger explosion, Dave brings a unique perspective that we are fortunate enough to explore.

Henrietta Lacks is the closest thing this world has ever had to a superhero. Her cells are so unique that they have been used in biomedical research ever since her fateful visit to her doctors in 1951. It is because of her that the world has things like the Polio Vaccine, COVID Vaccine, In vitro fertilization, and so many more medical wonders. I was honored to visit her home town of Clover, Virginia as well as visit her gravesite.

Best known as the lead singer of the 80's hair band, Poison, Bret Michaels had a big impact on Jenn's life. We took an opportunity to do something a little different and film a Walk With History video from his hometown of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania! Walking through small town Pennsylvania was that much more fun as we explored where he grew up, went to high school, played, and eventually put his father to rest.

Dan Rice was a circus clown...or rathe a circus leader...in the mid 1800s. It is because of him that we have terms like "Jump on the bandwagon". He essentially made fun of politicians...before that was cool! He also is the reason that we have the iconic "Uncle Sam" Army recruiting posters...those drawings were modeled after what he used to wear during his circus act. Learning about Dan Rice while living not far from where he made his home...was so much more than we expected! https://youtu.be/BTPzy32kNKY (Dan Rice: The most famous person you have never heard of) For more visit us at: https://talkwithhistory.com (talkwithhistory.com) Want to have a question featured on our next podcast?

This week we talk about the "First Lady of Comedy", Lucille Ball. Did you know she was the first leading woman to be pregnant on an American TV show? Or did you know that the I Love Lucy show was the FIRST TV show to use film? Many people only know her for the I Love Lucy show, but she was SO MUCH MORE. She was an innovator of her time in what she did as a woman on television, in the film industry, and for women at large. She and Desi Arnaz accomplished many "firsts" in the film industry and her influence continues to be felt today with many modern comedians crediting her as inspiration. https://youtu.be/aS14cSP6wkE (Lucille Ball Hometown Virtual Tour and History of Her Life) For more visit us at: https://talkwithhistory.com/ (talkwithhistory.com) Want to have a question featured on our next podcast?

Have you ever watched "It's a Wonderful Life" at Christmas time? If you have then you will probably love this episode of Talk With History. Jenn and Scott talk about visiting Indiana, Pennsylvania...not only the Christmas Tree capitol of the world...but also Jimmy Stewart's hometown! Jimmy grew up here and visited his childhood home all throughout his life, including through his Hollywood career years. Of course we had to visit the Jimmy Stewart Museum and it was such an amazing view in to the man that brought so much entertainment to the world through his movie career (although we are bummed we didn't get to see it at Christmas time).

Jenn discovered that Bob Hope was technically married to two women at the same time...and supposedly both marriages occurred in Erie, Pennsylvania. Since we were living in Erie at the time, Jenn decided to put her historian hat on and explore the locations where Bob Hope probably walked in February of 1933 AND 1934. Furthermore...Scott has family ties to Bob Hope through his great-grandfather who was a Hollywood prop master in the 50s, 60s, and 70s!! https://youtu.be/ZN6UQuLtkTY (Bob Hope was Married Twice?)

Jenn talks about her very first time filming a historical location and why she decided to choose someone as controversial as Nathan Bedford Forrest. A statue dedicated to him was taken down in December of 2017, from the center of Memphis, Tennessee. Was it taken down the right way? What SHOULD be the way those kinds of statues are removed...should they be removed? How difficult is it for historians to see figures with terrible acts in their past in an objective light? https://youtu.be/Ehb6_3QUrO0 (Nathan Bedford Forrest and His History) For more visit us at: https://talkwithhistory.com/ (talkwithhistory.com) Want to have a question featured on our next podcast?
