In this episode I explore what life was like in the year 1850 in Battle Creek, Michigan.  This was the first year Battle Creek received its first charter from the State of Michigan, and was organized officially as a village.  I take a look at the local industry of the time, the population, the churches, the entertainment, the politics and national news and events of the times, among other topics.  It is a fascinating look at a time many years before the cereal industry, and other industrial accomplishments that the city would later become known for.
