Video Review - American Heroes Channel - America: Facts or Fiction - The New World
America: Facts or Fiction - Season 1 Episode 7: The New World
Release date: August 14, 2013
Description:
"There is more to the explorers who discovered America than we have been told. On the next episode of America's Facts Vs. Fiction learn Christopher Columbus never stepped foot in North America and Hernán Cortés didn't defeat the Aztecs by himself."
Highlights:
Christopher Columbus was an English translation to his name and he did not go by that name during his lifetime.
There is no consensus to what his name really was and could have been Cristoforo Columbo (Italian) or Cristobal Colon (Spanish)
Greek philosopher Eratothenese proved the Earth was round back in 240 BC. Despite what many think, Columbus did not sail West to prove the Earth was round.
King Ferdinand approved Columbus's voyage and was funded with private investors.
Columbus's ship "Pinta" meant "the painted one" (also, a term to describe a prostitute). We'll assume that was his investor's choice.
He kept 2 log books. One with the actual nautical miles and another with shorter distances.
There was a reward (of 10,000 maravedis) to the first person to spot land. Rodrigo De Triana spotted land first but Columbus took the credit.
Columbus landed in the Bahamas where they met friendly Indians. They discovered pineapple, turkey, hammocks and tobacco.
Hernan Cortes lands in Mexico (1519) illegally (without permission). He meets natives who are angry with the powerful Aztec tribes (and the dictator Montezuma) and they agree to help him attack.
Cortes sank his own ships to keep his crew members from deserting.
Smallpox killed most of the natives.

Pumpkin Roller - the name given to someone who was a grumbler, complainer or agitator.
Pumpkins are not easy to roll since they're not exactly round or smooth so I can just imagine the grumbling one would do if they actually rolled one.

Historical Tidbit Thursdays - The History of Weaponry - American Weapons - #TidbitThursday #WeaponHistory
Howdy!
Welcome to Historical Tidbit Thursdays. For the next few weeks, we'll follow the timeline presented in the book, "A History of Weaponry" by John O'Bryan. Last week we delved into Early Modern Europe (1500 - 1800) weapons. This week we'll take a look at American weapons (1776 - 1900).
Bowie Knife - (about 1829) actually invented by James Black with the help of Jim Bowie; large knife with large clip points
Kentucky Rifle - Ironically, this was invented in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; longer barrel with a longer firing ranger; smaller caliber bullet; due to the tightness of the barrel it does take longer to reload
Derringer - (1830's) famous little gun that could be held in a person's palm; single-shot; relatively weak unless at close range; John Wilkes Booth used it to assassinate Abraham Lincoln

Howdy!
Welcome to Historical Tidbit Thursdays. For the next few weeks, we'll follow the timeline presented in the book, "A History of Weaponry" by John O'Bryan. This week we'll continue to look at some of the weapons created during Early Modern Europe (1500 - 1800).
Blunderbuss - (early 1600s, widely used by 1700s) flared muzzle made for easier loading (still only single shot and loaded one item at a time); when fired the metal pellets sprayed out; had a powerful kick so shooter fires from hip not from chest or shoulder
Chain Shot or Bar Shot - (1600's) specially made to shoot out of canons to cause the most damage to ships' masts and rigging; less accurate than round canon balls; more likely used at closer range
Guillotine - (late 1700's) - an infamously French invention to slice off a person's head with a slanted blade; early models didn't work too well

Welcome to Historical Tidbit Thursdays. For the next few weeks, we'll follow the timeline presented in the book, "A History of Weaponry" by John O'Bryan. This Last week we wrapped up Europe's Medieval Period (1300 - 1500 AD). This week and next we'll look at the weapons of Early Modern Europe (1500 - 1800).
Musket - large gun which sat on a forked stand to be fired; powerful and unwieldly; shot heavy metal balls
Rapier - (1500's) long, sleek blade and ornate hilt; not a slashing weapon but a thrusting weapon; mostly used for dueling
Bronze Culverin - (1500's) a large, bronze canon (pervious ones were made of cast iron which could easily explode); on misfire a bronze canon would rupture rather than explode; lighter and travelled easier
Flintlock pistols - (early 1600's) a simpler mechanisms for lighting the powder; replaced wheellocks which broke easily and required winding with a separate spanner piece; these guns often fired accidentally during loading
