The Industrial Economy: Crash Course US History #23
In which John Green teaches you about the Industrial Economy that arose in the United States after the Civil War. You know how when you're studying history, and you're reading along and everything seems safely in the past, and then BOOM you think, Man, this suddenly seems very modern. For me, that moment in US History is the post-Reconstruction expansion of industrialism in America. After the Civil War, many of the changes in technology and ideas gave rise to this new industrialism. You'll learn about the rise of Captains of Industry (or Robber Barons) like Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, and JP Morgan. You'll learn about trusts, combinations, and how the government responded to these new business practices. All this, plus John will cover how workers reacted to the changes in society and the early days of the labor movement. You'll learn about the Knights of Labor and Terence Powderly, and Samuel Gompers and the AFL. As a special bonus, someone gets beaten with a cane. AGAIN. What is it with American History and people getting beaten with canes?

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.

CAMINO CABLE & NORTHERN RAILWAY, 16MM SOUND FILM, EL DORADO COUNTY CA.
BUILDING A RAILROAD, this 16mm film is a combination of black and white, color, sound and silent formats. There are some very nice interviews at the end so sit back and watch as they build it and then take a ride on the Camino Cable & Northern!
I have tried doing a little research on this private tourist railway and found it was created by a man named Hal Wilmunder and other railroad enthusiasts in the 1960's. The tracks pretty much followed the same grade that the earlier Michigan California railroad used. There is no longer a Camino, Cable & Northern Railway but here in this 16mm film we get to see it and some of the folks that volunteered to help build and maintain it.

Kentucky: Bourbon, Horses, and Family in Louisville | Traveling Robert
Thank you for your support
The definitive Kentucky video is finally here.
First we visit the Makers Mark Kentucky Bourbon Whisky distillery. At the beautiful property we learn about their history, the whiskey making process, and at the end we get to sample 4 different varieties, including the raw moonshine-like white alcohol, before the put in the oak barrels to age. That is some potent stuff.
After our whiskey adventure we continue towards Louisville, crossing through beautiful rural Kentucky and Bardstown, self-proclaimed the Whisky Capital of the World.
We are staying at the Louisville Metro KOA, which is actually on the Indiana side of the Ohio River in the city of Clarksville. Here we get to spend some time with my cousin Juan and his wife Thelma. Cousin Juan has lived here most of his life in Louisville and Thelma was born and raised here so they know the town pretty well. On the ride around the city they share a lifetime of memories with us, going back to the 1960’s.
No visit to Louisville is complete without going to Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, and although we skip the museum this time, we enter the building and go into some of the gardens. We also have breakfast at Wagner’s Pharmacy, which is actually a diner, very popular with horsemen since the 1920’s. The walls are covered with pictures of horses from the many years of horse racing tradition.
We also tour Old Louisville Historic District, particularly the St. James Court Area. It has the largest contiguous collection of Victorian era homes in the United States. We also drive on Bardstown road, in the Highlands neighborhood, which is famous for the numerous bars, night clubs and restaurant in the area. After an afternoon nap to recharge batteries we are joined by Juan’s sister, cousin María for dinner at Louisville’s best Cuban restaurant called Havana Rumba.

The Lumberyard , undated , Oil on Canvas , 53 X 45.5cm
The Lumberyard is said to be in the area along Lin-Shin Rd. from Pe-Hsing Street all the way to the North-Gate Station. The North Gate was a transit station for all the produce from Ali-Mountain then. Most of the businessmen who went up to the mountains or people who came down to the city for some trade or purchase would stay overnight at Yu-Shan Hotel. All the logs from the mountains should first be stored and soaked in the huge pond, and then processed at the factories around the water-pond. For the outbound transportation, the lumberyard should be around the rail-track of Ali Mt.The time when the timber business was at its top. Chai-Yi city was enjoying an unprecedentedly prosperous period of time then.
The strongest point for this picture is the white building in the distant background, it may be a factory or an office. To its right is a red building which was meant to strike the viewers attention to the criss-cross lumber-piles. Mr.Chen use the method of high perspective to expand the foreground by elevating the horizontal line to approximately one-third of the whole length and he had done quite a good job showing the relative position of each object by using dark and bright, deep and light colors. In the meanwhile, he also created a perfect combination of rhythm and harmony by describing the lumbers floating and tangling in the water as well as showing its reflection in the water.
The scene in the picture is now the site of the Culture Center, known as Fir Wood Pond,'' one of the scenic attraction of Chia-yi city. In 1980, it was rebuilt into a library, music hall and a museum. The whole area has now became a center for activities on arts and literature in Chia-yi city. The Cypress Village and Ali-Shan Village are served as a great witness to the once biggest timber city island-wide, and it attracts a lot of tourists to pay a visit. Across from them is the starting point of the famous Ali-Shan Mountain-Climbing train, which is called North-Gate Train Station.'' In front of it is the Yu-Shan hotel which is the best place for backpackers to stay overnight.
