Indian Creek Distillery

Indian Creek Distillery (America's Oldest Working Stills)

Elias Staley purchased a farm in Miami County back in 1818. He soon built a distillery and began bottling Staley Rye Whiskey. A sixth generation family member still lives on the farm and is continuing to make small batches of this famous spirit. You can tour Indian Creek Distillery on the historic Staley Farm and see America's oldest working stills in operation. For more information go to staleymillfarmanddistillery.com.

Spirit of America in a Bottle

In the early 1800s Elias Staley built a distillery in Miami County. Except for short time during the Civil War, the distillery was in operation up to Prohibition. Today, a new distillery has been built and once again Staley Rye Whiskey is flowing from the still-house. From Our Ohio show 722.

Blaker's Mill is Fully Operational, Part 1

This is a video showing the first floor of Blaker's Mill in operation. Built in 1794 as an early automated flour mill, every step in the process of milling grain is mechanized in Blaker's Mill. The mill is currently located in Weston, West Virginia on the Jackson's Mill Farmstead -- a few hours drive from its original location near Alderson, West Virginia. Samantha Hartford mills corn on the original corn stone that was first used in 1794. As corn falls through the eye of the stone it is ground and pushed out a chute by centrifugal force where it is bagged.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Whiskey Rebellion (also known as the Whiskey Insurrection) was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 and ending in 1794 during the presidency of George Washington, ultimately under the command of American Revolutionary war veteran Major James McFarlane. The so-called whiskey tax was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government. It became law in 1791, and was intended to generate revenue for the war debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. The tax applied to all distilled spirits, but American whiskey was by far the country's most popular distilled beverage in the 18th century, so the excise became widely known as a whiskey tax. Farmers of the western frontier were accustomed to distilling their surplus rye, barley, wheat, corn, or fermented grain mixtures into whiskey. These farmers resisted the tax. In these regions, whiskey often served as a medium of exchange. Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers.
Throughout Western Pennsylvania counties, protesters used violence and intimidation to prevent federal officials from collecting the tax. Resistance came to a climax in July 1794, when a U.S. marshal arrived in western Pennsylvania to serve writs to distillers who had not paid the excise. The alarm was raised, and more than 500 armed men attacked the fortified home of tax inspector General John Neville. Washington responded by sending peace commissioners to western Pennsylvania to negotiate with the rebels, while at the same time calling on governors to send a militia force to enforce the tax. Washington himself rode at the head of an army to suppress the insurgency, with 13,000 militiamen provided by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The rebels all went home before the arrival of the army, and there was no confrontation. About 20 men were arrested, but all were later acquitted or pardoned. Most distillers in nearby Kentucky were found to be all but impossible to tax—in the next six years, over 175 distillers from Kentucky were convicted of violating the tax law. Numerous examples of resistance are recorded in court documents and newspaper accounts.The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the will and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws, though the whiskey excise remained difficult to collect. The events contributed to the formation of political parties in the United States, a process already underway. The whiskey tax was repealed in the early 1800s during the Jefferson administration.
