61: 1787 Timeline Twist & The Militia Muster Murder of 1787


Listen Later

On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist presents notable moments in American history of the Constitutional variety, bartering for butter, George Washington’s boozy farewell party at Philadelphia hotspot, the City Tavern, and a few fascinating facts about the US Constitution - when the founding fathers created a republic - if we can keep it. Next, Amy Jo tells the wild tale of the Militia Muster Murder, starting with a little history on militias and “Cutting the Mustard”. During a tumultuous and productive year in America, including protest, rebellions (Shay’s), excessive taxation, and young men forced to muster, a terrible accident occurred between Daniel Foster and Amos Chapman resulting in death by musket ball. SO 1787!
