Chasing History Radio

In this Halloween episode, we discuss the ever-popular subject of the paranormal by taking an historical look at the subject & at the history of ghosts. We come to some conclusions that might be a bit frightening as Steve shares his personal Ghost Story. The Smoky Mountain Relic Room spent the month of October diving into the topic with a series of video episodes that are available on the Relic Room Facebook page including Chases Ghost Attack, Civil War Ghosts, Haunted Tribal Artifacts, & ghost sighting in the Relic Room as shared by long time team members. A great look at the subject & a killer episode series on Facebook!! Happy Halloween!

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!

In this episode, we sit down with Don Shafer,  historical interpretive ranger at Wilderness Road State Park, aka "Martin's Station" located in Southwest Virginia. Don has been doing some incredible work on the relatively unknown history of spies on the frontier during the American Revolution. This is a great episode about a very little understood and known part of American history and is absolutely not what think it will be.
