  • The Red Baron, 1892 - 1918

    Today on Murderhobos, the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. By the time of his violent death at twenty-five, he had shot down eighty aircraft out of the sky, often killing the pilot and crew as a result. Fighter pilots were by national propaganda turned into figures of chivalry, of the return of knightly battle to the faceless industrial infantry war. Was the war he waged a heroic throwback to medieval chivalry, or was the war in the air just as miserable, dangerous, and atrocious as war on the ground?

  • Douglas Haig, 1861 - 1928

    Today on Murderhobos: Douglas Haig, the chief of the British Expeditionary Force in the First World War. Haig was a dashing figure in his youth, an up-and-comer in the military elite who has come to symbolically represent the incompetence and apathy of high command. But was Douglas Haig a butcher, or did the war he fought simply take on an appalling life of its own?

  • Crazy Horse, 1840 - 1877

    Today on Murderhobos: Crazy Horse, the Lakota Warrior whose leadership against the US Army in the 1870s culminated in one of the most spectacular military victories of the century. He was a ferocious fighter on the battlefield, but at home he was a quiet, generous and spiritually sensitive man who left an impression of singularness oddness to all who knew him.

    His untimely death in 1877 marked the end of a period of Lakota dominance of the Northern Plains. What can Crazy Horse's life teach us about the means of resistance against the American Empire and the complicated life of the free people of Great Plains?

  • Tecumseh, 1768 - 1813

    Today on Murderhobos: Tecumseh. The Shawnee diplomat, strategist and war chief, who built with his brother a powerful tribal confederacy centered around opposition to the expanding United States. Tecumseh's famous charisma and skillful leadership in the War of 1812 challenged racist assumptions of Indian manhood, American superiority, and came painfully close to derailing U.S. dominance of North America in the following decades. What can Tecumseh's life and untimely death tell us about the fragility of western colonial dominance, and the realities and plausibility of Indigenous resistence?
