Good podcast, the Chinese immigration and WV mine are favs. This is history told in the actual voices. It flies over the charges of bias or interpretation because...it's the people speaking themselves about their lived experience. There's a wealth of history's stories here.
I am in absolute awe of this show. The creativity of using letters as a portal into history is truly original and shows how decisions from the top impact everyday people. The way history is brought to life in this podcast is truly masterful.
I believe we are all historians on some level - and that’s why this podcast is so interesting. The host grabs source material - letters, diaries and pamphlets - from the era and gives us a view of history through the “common” American. Yeah you’ve heard about suffrage, but what your average woman’s thoughts on the subject at the time? Enter American Epistles. The letters are fascinating and the host draws you in. Highly recommend.

Loved the WV mine wars episodes. So much new info I’d never heard, and many quotes directly from the people who lived through the wars. Can’t wait to listen to more.
