In this episode, we explore a book that was written in 1804 with the descriptions of each of the 15 US states (it's 1804) and several selected countries. These books are really interesting because they worked as proto travel guides. As new immigrants were coming to the US, books like this one were very influential in where these new immigrants would settle. These books laid out the description of the state, some statistical data, the geography, climate and even the temper and manner of the inhabitants. Since we are located in East Tennessee, we choose to focus on that state and what we found out about our state in 1804 was jaw dropping!

On the evening of December 5th, 2021, we lost a dear friend of the show & the Smoky Mountain Relic Room - David Dean. For over 65 years David did archaeological & paleontological work for institutions, government organizations, universities, & for himself. David was a Citizen Scientist, a person who collects and analysis data that is relative to a specific subject in collaboration with professional scientists. In this case paleontological and archaeological data.
Over the years David has done much to add to our understanding of the past. There are many vertebrate fossil species that were unknown to science until David came along and discovered them. There were prehistoric Native American sites that no one knew existed until David found them and recorded them. David also volunteered his time and knowledge to anyone that would ask for it. He was a great friend to us and the work that we are doing here at Chasing History. This episode chronicles some of the discoveries that he made, his life as well, and how you can get involved and become a citizen scientist yourself. We think that the greatest tribute to David's life would be to inspire others to pick up the flag and continue to further our knowledge of the past and become citizen scientists.
In a few months, "The Seven Ages audio Journal" podcast will be hosting a call-in & tribute show about David's life. We hope that some of you guys who follow us will go and check them out. Thank you David for everything you have done for us and for science! Please help us out by taking 20 seconds and giving us a rate and review or tell us how we can make a better show.

Is something as famous as the Ark of the Covenant still out there to be found? If so where could it be and how would one go about finding it? For centuries many have searched for the final resting place of the Holy of Holies, but in that search hard evidence has been hard to come by, until now. In this episode, we sit down with explorer Dr. Jim Rankin who, for the past decade, has been on the search and gathering evidence for the discovery of one of the greatest mysteries in history. Working with locals throughout Egypt and Ethiopia, Dr. Rankin has been granted unprecedented access to heavily guarded sacred sites where he has put pieces of the puzzle together with physical evidence to the location of the Ark of the Covenant. Jim Rankin's mission "Adventures in Truth" is a ministry whose purpose is to educate people on the authenticity of the bible's holy scriptures and its truth through archaeological and historical evidence with research and education. This is not just a quest for the lost Ark but a mission to bring Christianity to the world and to the biblical holy land.

In this episode, we cover the Treaty of Dumplin Creek, a forgotten treaty of the lost State of Franklin, a would-be 14th state that sorta kinda existed just after the American Revolution, but a back door political land grab, overwhelming egos, and a feud prevented its existence. This story takes place in the hills of East Tennessee at what was at that time the American frontier whose key player would become one of the state's greatest sons and eventual first Governor, John Sevier. This story shows that nothing has changed in politics and is a Great Tale!
