]]> 1597 Doc Holliday: The Most Lethal Dentist of the Frontier West Doc Holliday: The Deadliest Dentist of the Wild West 3 May 2024 --- Doc Holliday was the Robin to Wyatt Earp’s Batman; by his side whenever the going got tough, pistol in hand, ready to go out in a blaze of glory. Their friendship became a legendary tale of the Wild West, depicted in many books and westerns. Holliday didn’t necessarily act this way out of sheer bravery or an undying sense of loyalty, but for a more tragic reason - he knew that he was a doomed man, anyway. Stricken with tuberculosis from an early age, before he even met Wyatt Earp, Holliday understood that he was living on borrowed time, so he chose to live it like a man with nothing to lose. In the process, he became one of the greatest icons of the Wild West. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1939 Robin Hood: The Most Celebrated Outlaw in All of History Robin Hood: The Most Celebrated Outlaw of All Time 1 Apr 2024 --- We find ourselves in England, during the late 12th century. The country is in disarray as King Richard the Lionheart is off fighting in the Crusades, leaving his throne exposed to the devious machinations of Prince John. The younger sibling covets his brother’s power and plans to steal the English crown for himself. He is aided by the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham, who uses unaffordable taxes in order to oppress the peasantry and fill his master’s coffers. Is there nobody who will stand up to such tyrants? Nobody who will pick up the bow and the sword and fight for the innocent people of England? Well, in fact, there is one such man. A brave outlaw who will lead a gang of rogues and outcasts against the reign of terror. A charitable bandit who will steal from the rich and give to the poor.

]]> 1616 Paul John Knowles: The Ruthless Rampage of The Casanova Killer Paul John Knowles: The Brutal Rampage of The Casanova Killer 2 Feb 2024 --- Paul John Knowles had a way with people, especially with women. His charm and good looks made people trust him and lower their guard. British journalist Sandy Fawkes described Knowles as "tall, well over six foot, broad-shouldered, narrow-hipped and as slender as a wraith" and a “cross between Robert Redford and Ryan O’Neal.” And as you will soon find out, she had a unique, personal perspective on the ruthless killer. All of this was for show, however. Beneath the confident and affable smile was hiding something dark. Ever since he was a little boy, Paul Knowles decided that rules and laws weren’t meant for him; and that he could take whatever he wanted and do whatever he pleased to anyone. His entire life was one steady escalation of brutality and sadism - from petty theft to robbery, to sex crimes, and, ultimately, to murder. A four-month-long savage killing spree left, at least, 18 people dead. In custody, Knowles showed no remorse or regrets over his actions, and, soon after, left the world the only way he knew how - in violence. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1066 Kurt Vonnegut: The Unappreciated Novelist Kurt Vonnegut: The Misunderstood Writer 5 Mar 2024 --- The 20th century saw many American authors leave their mark on the world of American literature. One such author to succeed in leaving such a mark was Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut is a hard writer to pin down with a career spanning over five decades. He was prolific throughout his illustrious career, writing books that attempted to dissect and understand the world he’d grown up in and his life. As a writer, Vonnegut often approached his subject matter with satire and science fiction twists, making his work unique and sometimes challenging to decipher. Three general concepts guided much of his work: social equality, pacifism, and common decency. These were themes that worked for the audience of the time. He was a writer who made villains of sexuality, violence, war, and technology.

]]> 1518 Klaus Fuchs: The Nuclear Informant Klaus Fuchs: The Nuclear Spy 8 May 2024 --- The release of the hit film Oppenheimer has led to increased public interest in the true story of the Manhattan Project, the effort of a combined team of American and British scientists to create the atomic bomb during World War II. The film accurately shows the conflicted emotions those scientists had about their work, which resulted in the development of the most destructive weapon mankind has ever known, as well as efforts from the Soviet Union to acquire the secrets of the bomb for themselves through the use of spies. The USSR’s chief spy in the Manhattan Project was also instrumental in its creation: Klaus Fuchs (Author’s Note: Pronounced FEWKS). Fuchs was considered one of the UK’s top scientific minds, and was recruited to work on the atomic bomb project almost from the very beginning of it. Exiled from his native Germany by the rise of Hitler, Fuchs was happy to work on the bomb project because he believed it was necessary to defeat the Nazis. What not even his closest friends and associates realized, however, was that Fuchs was also a devoted Communist who was passing on all the nuclear secrets he was learning to Soviet agents. Unlike other spies, Fuchs wasn’t motivated by money: he was a true believer in the effectiveness of the Communist system to heal society’s ills, and also that the Western Allies shouldn’t have a monopoly on the atomic bomb: if world peace was to be maintained, a balance of power was required. He continued passing information to the Soviets until he was caught in 1949, much to the embarrassment of the British security services, who had identified him as a possible security risk for years but done nothing about it. His information accelerated the progress of the USSR’s own bomb project, making him, potentially, one of the most consequential spies in history. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1514 Christopher Plummer: Seven Decades of Accomplishment Christopher Plummer: Seven Decades of Excellence 4 Jan 2024 --- In 1965, the musical film The Sound of Music, adapted from the Broadway play of the same name, appeared to huge international success. The film’s popularity led it to surpass Gone With the Wind as the biggest box office hit of all time, and reaffirmed the superstardom of singer-actress Julie Andrews. It also vaulted a hitherto unknown lead actor, Christopher Plummer, into the front rank of film actors. Unknown, that is, to mainstream film audiences. By 1965, Christopher Plummer was a well known and highly regarded stage actor, having earned considerable plaudits for performances on New York’s Broadway, London’s West End, and in Shakespeare festivals and repertories in the United States, Britain, and Canada. His career, which eventually spanned over seven decades, led him to winning Best Actor Awards for theater (Tony Award), film (Academy Award), and television (Primetime Emmy Award), the so-called Triple Crown of Acting. To date, he remains the only Canadian to be thus decorated. His performances displayed a diversity seldom matched, ranging from traditional Hamlet and King Lear to the Klingon General Chang in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. As Chang, he observed that Shakespeare should be read in its original Klingon. On stage, film, and television he portrayed historical figures, such as the Duke of Wellington and Kaiser Wilhelm II; actors, such as John Barrymore; the billionaire J. Paul Getty, and television correspondent Mike Wallace. He also portrayed Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, the Roman Emperor Commodus, the Conquistador Juan Pizarro, and many more too numerous to list. Yet he became largely known and connected with his role as Von Trapp, a role he frequently spoke of disparagingly, calling it “…a bit like flogging a dead horse”. Eventually he came to regard the film and his role in it more fondly, though he did ask The Guardian in 2018, “Don’t these people ever see another movie? Is this the only one they’ve ever seen?” Compared to his body of work the question begs an answer. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1679 Anne Frank: The Flame the Holocaust Could not Quench Anne Frank: The Flame the Holocaust Could not Extinguish 2 Jul 2024 --- #biography #history #worldwar2 For over two years, Frank and her family hid in a makeshift room behind a bookcase in an Amsterdam building where her father worked. The entire time there, until she was captured by the Nazis, Anne would write her thoughts and dreams into her diary, while the world outside her hidden walls went to hell. After the Second World War ended, a few helpful hands saw to it that Anne’s diary was made available to the world. It has since been a brutal reminder of what humanity can be capable of at its worst, and what humanity is at its best. Here is a single brave girl’s story of survival and fear in one of the darkest chapters in history. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

#biography #history #worldwar2 For over two years, Frank and her family hid in a makeshift room behind a bookcase in an Amsterdam building where her father worked. The entire time there, until she was captured by the Nazis, Anne would write her thoughts and dreams into her diary, while the world outside her hidden walls went to hell. After the Second World War ended, a few helpful hands saw to it that Anne’s diary was made available to the world. It has since been a brutal reminder of what humanity can be capable of at its worst, and what humanity is at its best.

]]> 1081 Lady Jane Grey: The Tragic Nine Day Throne Lady Jane Grey: The Tragic Nine Day Queen 9 Mar 2024 --- For nine days in 1553, Lady Jane Grey claimed the thrones of England and Ireland, an impertinence that caused her to be executed for high treason in February, 1554. Jane was a descendant of King Henry VII, a first cousin once removed of Elizabeth I, Mary I, and King Edward VI, and a grandniece of their collective father, King Henry VIII. By right of the last will and testament of King Edward VI, she was the successor to the British throne, largely because her Protestant faith made her a less disagreeable Monarch than the Catholic Mary, at least to British Protestants of the day. At first, the Privy Council of England agreed with her accession and supported her claim to the throne, but in less than two weeks, political support for Mary Tudor led to her being proclaimed Queen, and Jane’s confinement in the Tower of London as a treasonous usurper. Lady Jane’s story, like many surrounding the English monarchy of the time, is one of intrigue, treachery, betrayal, religious intolerance, fear of Spanish power, and ultimately, royally sanctioned murder. In that, it is not unlike many tales which swirl around the British Monarchy and its long and complicated history. Tales of hooded executioners, imprisonments in the Tower of London, ministers both loyal and duplicitous, secret missions, and public executions are all part of the history of the monarchy. Lady Jane’s tale is a relatively small part of that history. Yet, it is still worth telling. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

Okay, they had two things in common - they were also all men. There is no doubt that piracy was a man’s game, but exceptions did exist. In China, Ching Shih became one of the most successful pirates in history, and even here in local waters, we have Anne Bonny who gave up an easy life as the daughter of a rich plantation owner to follow her true calling, raise the black flag and sail the seven seas. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1013 James Monroe: The Golden Age of Good Feeling James Monroe: The Era of Good Feeling 11 Apr 2024 --- The first four decades of what has come to be called the “American Experiment” were turbulent in the extreme. First there was a revolution to be won, despite the opposition to its goals expressed by nearly a third of the population. A failed attempt at a national government under the Articles of Confederation led to the creation of a strong federal government, creating disputes over the role of state’s rights that continue to the present day. Partisan politics created divides so wide that at one point a sitting Vice-President, Aaron Burr, killed a former Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, in an illegal duel. Though the causes of their enmity were many, at their core was a fundamental disagreement over politics. There were armed insurrections over taxes, over veteran’s benefits, over slavery. During the John Adams administration, the United States fought an undeclared naval war with France. Jefferson sent the US Navy and Marines to fight a war along the North African coast and ordered an embargo against trade with Britain that proved ruinous to American commerce. Quarrels with Britain over free trade and freedom of the seas led to another, nearly disastrous war with the British Empire. Settlers struggling into the western lands of the Northwest Territory and the southern lands found hostile tribes opposing them and a federal government unable to defend them. Then came a period of eight years of relative peace, during which American commerce thrived, the nation's borders expanded through peaceable means, and the United States gained respect on the world stage. In the wake of the tumultuous years that followed, it became known as the Era of Good Feelings. It was the period of the administration of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, and the last of the Founders to hold that office. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1564 Jack Gilbert Graham: The Denver Dynamite Villain Jack Gilbert Graham: The Denver Dynamite Fiend 7 Jul 2024 --- #biography #history #crimestory In 1955, flying in an airplane was still considered a glamorous activity: men and women dressed up in their fanciest clothes before heading to the airport. In the 1950s, air travel was just starting to take off, if you’ll pardon the pun, in the US, with more routes being added, fares being lowered, and aircraft offered that were faster, more comfortable, and above all, safer than their predecessors. The very idea that anyone would want to blow one of them up was the furthest thought from anybody’s mind. And yet, that is exactly what happened on the night of November 1st, 1955, just outside of Denver, Colorado. A United Airlines plane was blown out of the sky by a bomb, sending 44 men, women, and children plummeting to their deaths. It was the first confirmed case of mid-air sabotage in US history, requiring investigators to come up with new techniques to solve the case, techniques that are still being used today. The bombing of the plane sent shockwaves around the country, and so did the identity of the perpetrator: Jack Gilbert Graham, a young man who hated his mother so much that he put a bomb in her luggage to blow her out of the sky, showing absolutely no remorse for everyone else he killed at the same time. Because of this, Colorado made sure to exact the ultimate price from him for his evil deed: death in the state’s gas chamber. This is the true story of the downing of United Airlines Flight 629, a truly groundbreaking case that created laws, changed long standing customs, and gripped a nation from start to finish. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1562 Napoleon II: Emperor for Three Weeks Napoleon II: Emperor for 20 Days 5 Dec 2023 --- On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of the French, becoming Napoleon I. Years after his downfall, on December 2, 1852, his nephew Louis Napoleon reinstated the Empire, styling himself as Napoleon III. So … the 1st, followed by the 3rd … you may have noticed something is missing here. The great Corsican general had a son who theoretically ruled as emperor for a handful of days. This young man later led most of his short life trapped in a gilded cage by his father’s enemies. This tragic figure was feared by European rulers, and yet is largely overlooked by history. This is the story of the boy who would be known as the King of Rome, the Duke of Reichstadt, and “Franz”, but who would be buried as Napoleon II. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1894 The Fox Sisters: The Imposters Who Helped Establish Spiritualism The Fox Sisters: The Frauds Who Helped Found Spiritualism 31 Oct 2023 --- As the spiritualist movement grew, an argument began over whether it was heretical. Proponents argued that if one believed in angels, devils, and life after death, all part of Christian dogma, one must necessarily believe in the existence of the immortal soul. Spiritualism was the art of contact with part of that immortal soul, and was thus neither witchcraft nor heresy. Why some possessed the ability while others did not was a subject of debate. Later arguments against spiritualism were based on science, rather than Biblical verses. Whether some humans possess the ability to communicate with the dead is an argument which still rages, and countless mediums still practice it today. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1653 Jack London: The Call of Resilience Jack London: The Call of Survival 12 Mar 2024 --- Jack London was arguably America’s first celebrity author. His life, though short, was one of adventure and often controversy. He was a poacher, a failed gold miner, worked in a cannery, spun jute, and rode the rails as a hobo, all before reaching the age of eighteen. He became a world-famous writer, an outspoken advocate for animal rights, workers’ rights, eugenics, socialism, and atheism. His work as a writer made him fabulously rich, and he flaunted his wealth shamelessly. A lifelong unashamed love of drinking led to his admitted addiction to alcohol, and a frank discussion of alcoholism in his memoir/novel John Barleycorn. London wrote of the titular character, a euphemism for whiskey, “He gives clear vision, and muddy dreams. He is the enemy of life, and the teacher of wisdom beyond life’s wisdom”. In his book, he gave a new term to the English lexicon, describing the drunkard, whom, stupid with drink, “…falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants”. Seeing pink elephants has been a metaphor for drunkenness ever since. London’s work was marked with a realism the reader often sensed and the writer had often experienced. His most evil character, the sadistic sea captain Wolf Larsen in The Sea Witch, was based on a seafarer he had known in his youth. The Yukon characters of White Fang and The Call of the Wild were based on people he knew during his own adventures in the north. Though he exuded a hale and hearty appearance, his health was often frail, and he was subject to several illnesses, most of them aggravated by his chronic drinking. He rose from rags to riches, though he never lost sight of the rags. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1562 Jan Palach: The Extreme Sacrifice Against Soviet Tyranny Jan Palach: The Ultimate Sacrifice Against Soviet Tyranny 3 Aug 2024 --- #biography #history #biographyhistory In the first half of 1968, a window of hope and freedom opened beyond the Iron Curtain. A new government in Czechoslovakia dared to do the unthinkable in Soviet-controlled, totalitarian, Eastern Europe: abolish censorship and liberalize society. The Party leaders in Moscow would not tolerate the outrage of what became known as the “Prague Spring” and responded to societal reforms with tanks. One young man in Prague could not stand aside and bear a life under tyranny. To reawaken the consciousness of his people, he would undergo a fiery sacrifice and become a human torch.

Then, that slow decline fell off a cliff 50 years later when the end of the Severan Dynasty brought about a long period of great instability and weakness known as the Crisis of the Third Century.

#rome #biography Nothing lasts forever. Today we remember the might of the Roman Empire but it could not go on endlessly. When exactly the decline began is something for historians to debate, but we can argue that the empire reached its peak in the 2nd century AD, during the reigns of the Five Good Emperors, and slowly went downhill afterward. Then, that slow decline fell off a cliff 50 years later when the end of the Severan Dynasty brought about a long period of great instability and weakness known as the Crisis of the Third Century. And this upheaval was triggered by the violent and murderous reign of a giant of a man, a Thracian barbarian known as Maximinus Thrax. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1515 Harry Thaw: The Inaugural Killer Playboy Harry Thaw: The Original Killer Playboy 7 Dec 2023 --- “Trial of the century” - it’s a short and snappy phrase that grabs people’s attention. That’s probably why the press has relied on it whenever dealing with a high-profile court case to drum up as much interest as possible for a juicy story that dominates the headlines. Hey, even we here at Biographics haven’t shied away from using that old adage when describing some of the stories we’ve covered such as the trial of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle for the murder of Virginia Rappe or the trial of Dr. Sam Sheppard who stood accused of killing his wife. But today we’re going back even further, to one of the first-ever cases to earn the moniker of “trial of the century” and, to this day, still one of the most intriguing and shocking - the 1906 murder of renowned American architect Stanford White at the hands of mentally-unstable playboy Harry Thaw, ostensibly to protect the honor of his wife, famed supermodel Evelyn Nesbit. So what made this case so compelling? One contemporary reporter listed all the qualities of this murder scandal that gripped the nation: "You see, it had in it wealth, degeneracy, rich old wasters, delectable young chorus girls and adolescent artists' models; the behind-the-scenes of Theatredom and the Underworld, and the Great White Way. . . the abnormal pastimes and weird orgies of overly aesthetic artists and jaded debauchees…" This is the story of a love triangle that ended in murder and became front-page news all over the country as America waited to find out with bated breath what fate would befall Harry Thaw, the killer playboy. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 2140 Desi Arnaz: The "Prince" of Cuba, Television's Crowned King Desi Arnaz: The "Prince" of Cuba, The King of Television 16 Feb 2024 --- Chances are you know of a show called I Love Lucy. It was a show that changed TV forever and followed the Ricardo family’s hilarious antics for over a decade. From that show, a star was born, Lucille Ball. While she might be the name you remember most, you’d be forgetting one of TV's most essential players both in front of and behind the scenes: Desi Arnaz. Desi’s life is a fascinating one. It’s a story of riches to rags to riches. The boy who had everything taken away from him due to a revolution rebuilt his life in a foreign land, married a fiery red head, became a father, ran a media empire, and wound up as one of the wealthiest men in Hollywood.

]]> 1651 Marvin Heemeyer: Mastermind Behind the "Killdozer Marvin Heemeyer: Architect of the "Killdozer" 16 Jan 2024 --- On the morning of June 4th, 2004, Granby, Colorado was no different from hundreds of other small towns all across the United States. It was the kind of idyllic little mountain town you moved to in order to get away from the crime and chaos of big cities like neighboring Denver. By by the end of the day on June 4th, Granby looked like it had been through a warzone, with buildings destroyed, trees ripped up, streetlights and fire hydrants knocked down. You might be forgiven for thinking the cause of this municipal carnage was some sort of natural disaster, but the truth was so much more bizarre: a bulldozer, modified with armor plating to make it impervious to gunfire, had spent the afternoon driving around deliberately smashing into things. The man at the controls of the machine nicknamed the “Killdozer” was well known to the townspeople of Granby. Marvin Heemeyer was one of their neighbors, a local business owner who had a lot of friends but was also infamous for his well publicized disputes with the local town government. Few people had recognized the simmering anger under Heemeyer’s skin, that he’d apparently been holding onto for years, until finally he emerged with a suicidal plan to get revenge on anyone who he’d ever felt had wronged him. Many people, even his victims, were in awe at the sheer audacity of his attack, including the time, effort, and resources that went into building such an infernal machine in the first place. Marvin has been held up as a hero in the years since his rampage by many, particularly among anti-government types who view him as a good person who finally snapped after being pushed too far by “The Man.” The truth, however, is far more sad: that Heemeyer was a successful man who became consumed with perceived slights and petty grievances made against him, until he became so consumed with rage that he threw away everything that he’d ever worked for in a rampage that was just as much about self-destruction as it was about, well, regular destruction. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1704 Norman Schwarzkopf: America's Final Military Hero Norman Schwarzkopf: America’s Last War Hero 14 Jun 2024 --- In the summer of 1990, President George HW Bush found himself confronted with a major international crisis. The dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait, then turned his guns threateningly towards Saudi Arabia, threatening to destabilize a region whose oil reserves were absolutely critical across the globe. Bush decided that Saddam’s aggression needed to be checked, and sent in the military. The man he entrusted to lead the troops was one of the Army’s most experienced generals. Norman Schwarzkopf [Shwarz-koff] was a military man through and through, having been immersed in Army culture from the time he was a small boy. Highly decorated in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was one of a cadre of officers that oversaw the rehabilitation of the military from its lowest point at the end of that war, helping to institute new training, technology, hardware, as well as boost morale among the young men and women who made up America’s fighting force. It all culminated in those climatic months in the desert. Schwarzkopf’s decisive victory in the Gulf War not only changed the course of history and the geopolitical map of the entire region, but it also turned him into a war hero, perhaps the last one the country will ever produce. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1492 Was SARS the ancestor of COVID? Was SARS the original COVID? 12 Jul 2024 --- In all of our modern human history, nothing shook us quite like the 2020 COVID lockdowns. It seems like forever ago already, but try to remember just how weird it all was. One day we were going around touching doors and politely coughing on each other, the next you can’t get a sandwich at a deli. Flights were grounded, trailers were shipped to hospitals just to handle the dead bodies, and mandatory quarantines brought out the absolute best and worst in humans. We still haven’t recovered from it. But keep in mind the name of the virus: COVID-19. That’s short for “coronavirus disease 2019”. This was not our first brush with the bug, which is caused by the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus. It was by far the deadliest, with over 7 million deaths and counting, but it was just a strain of a pathogen that the world had been dealing with since around 2002. Much like you download the newest iOS on your phones, the SARS virus has been installing its own updates over the last two decades. The reason you may not have remembered them very well is most likely the passing of time, and the way the news cycles constantly refresh. But make no mistake: these could have very well taken some random bad turns, and thrown the world into chaos just like COVID-19 did. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1753 Truman Capote: The Flawed Author of In Cold Blood Truman Capote: The Troubled Author of In Cold Blood 18 Jan 2024 --- Truman Capote was a darling of the New York literary set long before he became an international sensation with the publication of his novel In Cold Blood in 1965. He had written short stories and essays, novels, a novella, contributed to screenplays, and provided critical essays on other works. A Southerner by birth, he was a fixture of the New York social scene. After he published In Cold Blood, he found himself in demand for talk shows and public appearances. Magazines and newspapers peppered him for interviews and commentary. An openly gay celebrity was a rarity at the time. Capote was not only openly gay, he was flamboyantly gay. He hobnobbed with celebrities, claimed sexual relationships with celebrities of both sexes (including Errol Flynn and Greta Garbo), attended lavish parties, and became a dominant personage in society in New York, London, and Beverly Hills. Among the many celebrities he partied with were Lee Radziwill and her sister Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Princess Margaret, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth Taylor. He seemed to thrive on little more than drugs, alcohol, gossip, and controversy. He gleefully feuded with some celebrities, including author Gore Vidal, who once said of him, “Truman Capote has made lying an art. A minor art”. Capote responded with the comment, “Of course, I’m always sad about Gore. Very sad that he has to breathe every day”. Their feud continued until Capote's death, which Vidal described to a press reporter as “a wise career move”. By the end of his life, Capote had made being a celebrity the focus of his career, having not published anything but a few essays since the appearance of In Cold Blood in 1966. Yet he had remained one of the major literary influences of the late 20th century. In 1968, Truman Capote sat for an extensive interview with Playboy Magazine. During the course of the interview, which covered that year’s presidential election, the civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam, and his fellow writers and artists, Playboy asked him, “Are there any writers on the current literary scene whom you consider truly great?”. Capote responded, “Yes. Truman Capote”. He then listed several others he considered “commendable”. Gore Vidal was not among them. And none ranked equally to him, in his estimation. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

18 Jan 2024

---

Truman Capote was a darling of the New York literary set long before he became an international sensation with the publication of his novel In Cold Blood in 1965. He had written short stories and essays, novels, a novella, contributed to screenplays, and provided critical essays on other works. A Southerner by birth, he was a fixture of the New York social scene. After he published In Cold Blood, he found himself in demand for talk shows and public appearances. Magazines and newspapers peppered him for interviews and commentary. An openly gay celebrity was a rarity at the time. Capote was not only openly gay, he was flamboyantly gay. He hobnobbed with celebrities, claimed sexual relationships with celebrities of both sexes (including Errol Flynn and Greta Garbo), attended lavish parties, and became a dominant personage in society in New York, London, and Beverly Hills. Among the many celebrities he partied with were Lee Radziwill and her sister Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Princess Margaret, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth Taylor. He seemed to thrive on little more than drugs, alcohol, gossip, and controversy. He gleefully feuded with some celebrities, including author Gore Vidal, who once said of him, “Truman Capote has made lying an art. A minor art”. Capote responded with the comment, “Of course, I’m always sad about Gore. Very sad that he has to breathe every day”. Their feud continued until Capote's death, which Vidal described to a press reporter as “a wise career move”. By the end of his life, Capote had made being a celebrity the focus of his career, having not published anything but a few essays since the appearance of In Cold Blood in 1966. Yet he had remained one of the major literary influences of the late 20th century. In 1968, Truman Capote sat for an extensive interview with Playboy Magazine. During the course of the interview, which covered that year’s presidential election, the civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam, and his fellow writers and artists, Playboy asked him, “Are there any writers on the current literary scene whom you consider truly great?”. Capote responded, “Yes. Truman Capote”. He then listed several others he considered “commendable”. Gore Vidal was not among them. And none ranked equally to him, in his estimation. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1940 John C.H. Lee: The Neglected Architect of World War II John C.H. Lee: The Forgotten Mastermind of World War II 23 Mar 2024 --- The history of the United States Army presents no shortage of what may be called “colorful” characters adorning its ranks and accomplishments. During the American Revolutionary War there was the rambunctious Ethan Allen, loud, profane, and self-serving. The American Civil War produced George Armstrong Custer, one of the earliest examples of an Army commander retaining a press correspondent on his personal staff. World War I produced MacArthur, as well as the equally flamboyant George Patton, both of whom used lessons learned in that conflict to further their fame during World War II. These officers, and many others of a similar bent, shared a personal notoriety and military success. Another, a contemporary of MacArthur, Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, and the other military leaders of the Second World War, was John Clifford Hodges Lee, whose contribution to the Allied victory was substantial, but whose efforts are largely forgotten. Lee had the often thankless task of ensuring troops were fed, clothed, armed, and supported by medical and staff personnel, rather than leading them in battle. It was his responsibility to have trained replacements ready to step forward when needed, fuel available to support offensives, bullets for rifles, shells for tanks, and mail delivered to the men at the front. Engineers to support combat operations and build necessary roads, storage sites, fuel dumps, airfields, and other military infrastructure were also under his bailiwick. In accomplishing his task, he developed the reputation of being a self-absorbed martinet. Among the troops, including the senior officers deployed in Europe, his initials – JCH – were said to stand for “Jesus Christ Himself”. In Citizen Soldiers, the noted historian Stephen Ambrose described him as “The biggest jerk in ETO [European Theater of Operations]”, who had “…an exalted opinion of himself”. Yet without his successful execution of his duties, the Allied drive across Europe would have been immeasurably more difficult. He is an interesting, complicated, and sometimes comic figure, who alienated his superiors as well as the men under his immediate command. Yet he got the job done, according to Eisenhower, who said of him, “…I thought it was possible that his unyielding methods might be vital to success in an activity where an iron hand is always mandatory”. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

23 Mar 2024

---

The history of the United States Army presents no shortage of what may be called “colorful” characters adorning its ranks and accomplishments. During the American Revolutionary War there was the rambunctious Ethan Allen, loud, profane, and self-serving. The American Civil War produced George Armstrong Custer, one of the earliest examples of an Army commander retaining a press correspondent on his personal staff. World War I produced MacArthur, as well as the equally flamboyant George Patton, both of whom used lessons learned in that conflict to further their fame during World War II. These officers, and many others of a similar bent, shared a personal notoriety and military success. Another, a contemporary of MacArthur, Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, and the other military leaders of the Second World War, was John Clifford Hodges Lee, whose contribution to the Allied victory was substantial, but whose efforts are largely forgotten. Lee had the often thankless task of ensuring troops were fed, clothed, armed, and supported by medical and staff personnel, rather than leading them in battle. It was his responsibility to have trained replacements ready to step forward when needed, fuel available to support offensives, bullets for rifles, shells for tanks, and mail delivered to the men at the front. Engineers to support combat operations and build necessary roads, storage sites, fuel dumps, airfields, and other military infrastructure were also under his bailiwick. In accomplishing his task, he developed the reputation of being a self-absorbed martinet. Among the troops, including the senior officers deployed in Europe, his initials – JCH – were said to stand for “Jesus Christ Himself”. In Citizen Soldiers, the noted historian Stephen Ambrose described him as “The biggest jerk in ETO [European Theater of Operations]”, who had “…an exalted opinion of himself”. Yet without his successful execution of his duties, the Allied drive across Europe would have been immeasurably more difficult. He is an interesting, complicated, and sometimes comic figure, who alienated his superiors as well as the men under his immediate command. Yet he got the job done, according to Eisenhower, who said of him, “…I thought it was possible that his unyielding methods might be vital to success in an activity where an iron hand is always mandatory”. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1592 The Dassler Brothers: The Family Conflict That Founded Adidas and Puma The Dassler Bross: The Family Feud That Created Adidas and Puma 9 Nov 2023 --- “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” Anyone who’s ever had a difficult relationship with a sibling can attest to the truthfulness of this statement. Even the closest of brothers have moments that make them wish they’d been born an only child, after all. The Dassler Brothers were, to wit, NOT the closest of siblings. They hated each other so much that they refused to speak to each other. But what makes the feud between the Dassler brothers so unique was that it spilled over from their personal into their professional lives. They split the family shoe making business off into two separate companies that would come to dominate the athleticwear business in a way no one ever had before. The success of their respective companies can, at least in part, be credited to the rivalry between the two brothers, as they pushed their employees to outdo each other as a worldwide audience watched. The feud split apart not only the Dassler family, but their entire hometown as well, as every family was forced to pick a side. The two companies are still household names today, each earning billions annually in sales, still competing against each other for market share, forever locked together by the personal rivalry of their founders. Two men, two brothers who, though they were unable to choose their family, surely wished that they could have. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

Charles Floyd: America's Robin Hood, or Ruthless Criminal? 21 Dec 2023 --- “If you'll gather round me, children, A story I will tell 'Bout Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well. … Yes, he took to the trees and timber To live a life of shame; Every crime in Oklahoma Was added to his name. But many a starvin' farmer The same old story told How the outlaw paid their mortgage And saved their little homes.

And it perfectly encapsulates the complex and controversial legacy left behind by one of America’s most notorious outlaws. Pretty Boy Floyd was a robber and a killer, no doubt about that. He became the country’s new “Public Enemy #1” after the death of John Dillinger. And yet, many people remember him as the so-called “Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills” for his generosity towards the needy and, most famously, for allegedly burning mortgage documents whenever he robbed a bank to get people out of debt.

]]> 1477 John C Fremont: The Mapmaker John C Fremont: The Pathfinder 25 Apr 2024 --- John Charles Frémont was an explorer, topologist, botanist, soldier, politician, railroad tycoon, gold miner, abolitionist, and one of the most controversial entities in the opening of the American West. He achieved fame and infamy, wealth and destitution, military command and court-martial. His life was as up and down, challenging and exhilarating, as the trails he blazed across the continent. He was born under the surname Frémon [pronounced FrayMON’], the illegitimate son of a French-Canadian schoolteacher named Charles Frémon and Anne Whiting, the married woman he had been hired to teach French. Anne was married to John Pryor, a Richmond tobacco merchant of considerable wealth. However, Pryor was in his 60s, and his young wife was but 17 years of age, so the dashing French-Canadian soon swept her off her feet. When Pryor learned his young wife was having an affair with her tutor, he enlisted the Virginia authorities to have Frémon arrested. Frémon and Anne fled to Savannah, Georgia, where she gave birth to a son on January 21, 1813. The infant was given the name John Charles Frémont, retaining the French aigu [Egg-oow] over the letter e in his last name, indicating it was pronounced with the sound “-ay”. Though texts still record his last name with the aigu, it is almost uniformly pronounced with the sound of “ee”, as in “free” or “tree”. Eventually Frémon made his way back to Norfolk, Virginia, where he died in 1818 after failing to obtain a writ of divorce from the Virginia Assembly. His widow and children found themselves with little income. They moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where young John, well aware of the circumstances of his birth grew to be a rebellious, proud youth, unencumbered by friends and somewhat contemptuous of rules and societal norms. A Charleston lawyer named John Mitchell took an interest in Anne, and thus in her son John, and helped provide his early education. In 1829, young John entered the College of Charleston, though indifferent attendance led to his withdrawal in 1831. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1743 John Wayne: America's Preferred Cowboy John Wayne: America’s Favorite Cowboy 22 Jan 2026 --- The 20th century gave birth to a new kind of celebrity: the movie star. Motion pictures had the portability of books combined with the visual spectacle of artwork and the performance acumen of theatre productions, making the stars of this new medium the first celebrities with a truly global impact. And for a long period of time, no movie star had a bigger impact than John Wayne. For over thirty years, John Wayne was one of Hollywood’s highest grossing actors. He specialized in Westerns: playing a cowboy so well he practically came to define the genre. But his cultural impact went beyond the silver screen: for many people, John Wayne was the physical embodiment of America itself. The traits he portrayed in his films: rugged individualism, self-reliance, toughness, cool thinking under pressure, were all seen as essential to the American spirit, the American character. When Nikita Khrushchev came to visit the United States, he wanted to do two things: visit Disneyland, and meet John Wayne. What many people didn’t know, however, was that many of the things that made John Wayne, well, John Wayne, weren’t natural: they were the result of a carefully orchestrated public relations strategy, initially done by the movie studios he worked for, and then largely propagated by Wayne himself. John Wayne wasn’t a person: he was a persona, invented and shaped by the man who played him. He was exceptionally image conscious: he would only play roles that he felt “John Wayne” would be suited for, and would be very particular about scripts and camera work to make sure he was portrayed in a way that matched his audience’s perception of him. The result was an almost cult-like following among his fans, who even decades after his death continue to make him one of Hollywood’s most popular actors. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1709 Charlotte Corday: Angel of the Slaying Charlotte Corday: Angel of Assassination 23 Jan 2024 --- It is one of the most famous works of art of the 18th Century, painted by French artist Jacques-Louis David. A man, sitting in his bathtub, slumps slightly to his right. His hands lightly clutch the instruments of his profession – and his power: a pen and a letter. A small wound, just below his right collarbone oozes blood. On the floor, we can see the murder weapon, a stained knife. The image is realistic, yet solemn. It conveys the dignity, even in death, of the man portrayed. His name was Jean-Paul Marat, a friend of the artist, later hailed as a martyr of the French Revolution. Just outside the confines of the frame, the drama is not over yet. A young woman has been beaten, struck with a chair, and thrown to the ground. Until that afternoon, that woman was a young and sheltered aristocrat, whose involvement with the politics of the French Revolution was limited to heated drawing room discussions. But this afternoon, that young woman has decided to take action, and strike at the man who, in her eyes, represents tyranny. Her name is Charlotte Corday, later immortalized by author Alphonse de Lamartine as a brave and gracious angel, enacting God’s justice: ‘The Angel of Assassination’. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1648 Ronald Hunkeler: The Boy That Sparked The Exorcist Ronald Hunkeler: The Boy Who Inspired The Exorcist. 25 May 2024 --- On May 10, 2020, a former NASA engineer named Ronald Hunkeler died from a stroke a month before his 86th birthday. After his passing, he was mainly remembered for his contributions to space explorations, including work on the Apollo space missions and even a patent on a technology that helped panels withstand extreme heat. Then, about a year later, a magazine exposé revealed the bizarre, sinister, and unique experience that Hunkeler endured when he was a boy, one which he kept private during his adult life. In his youth, Hunkeler was better known under the pseudonym Roland Doe, a 14-year-old boy who was believed to be possessed by the devil and underwent several exorcisms. His case, although it did not make any major national waves, still got mentioned in a few newspapers, including one small piece in the Washington Post which was seen by a student attending Georgetown University by the name of William Peter Blatty. For whatever reason, the story stuck with Blatty, and, two decades later, it inspired him to write a horror novel which then got turned into a movie that changed cinema forever - The Exorcist. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 902 Harold Shipman: The Killer Doctor Harold Shipman: The Deadly Doctor 13 Aug 2024 --- Doctors are among the most trusted members of our society. There’s a good reason for this: we entrust them with our most valuable commodity, our health. People share things with their doctors that they keep secret from everyone else, even their closest loved ones. When we are sick or injured, we trust doctors to call upon their vast knowledge of the human body to make us feel better, and in many cases, to keep us alive. This, however, is a story of a doctor who did the exact opposite of what he was supposed to. Harold Shipman took advantage of the tremendous power he held over his patients in order to victimize them. He murdered hundreds of them in a grisly career that spanned over two decades, for no apparent reason other than because he could. For a long time, he was able to get away with it, using the exalted position his profession held in society to assure grieving relatives that their loved one had died a natural death in order to conceal his guilt. #truecrimestories #serialkillerdocumentary #haroldshipman What made Shipman so much more insidious than other serial killers was that he wasn’t killing strangers. He was beloved by his patients; his victims welcomed him into their homes and willingly rolled up their sleeves to receive the injection that would end their lives. He preyed on some of the most vulnerable members of society: elderly women who lived alone. Only after he was caught did people realize the enormity of what he had done: his body count marks him as the world’s most prolific serial murderer. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 2139 The Luddites: Rebelling Against the Machines The Luddites: Raging Against the Machines 14 Nov 2023 --- The first Industrial Revolution, which occurred in Europe and America from roughly the mid-18th to the mid-19th centuries, was a period of rapid and sometimes dramatic change. It is sometimes defined as the period which saw the shift from a largely agrarian society, with manufactured goods produced by craftsmen, to an industrialized society. Machines took over roles previously filled by men and women, and in doing so eliminated long-standing occupations. As just one example, the spinning of yarn and thread, long the domain of the women of the household, became mechanized. Yarn and thread became less expensive and more readily available for consumers. At the same time, households in small towns and rural locales lost a long-held source of income. As the industrial revolution ran on, manufactories emerged, powered by wind, water, and eventually steam. For decades, water provided the most reliable power source, and it drove a continually expanding number of machines; gristmills, sawmills, looms, spinners, and other innovations of industry. Some were also powered by human feet operating pedals, and the treadmill led to the employment of children. Many labor-intensive jobs in the factories became the occupation of children, and child labor evolved into a social issue as well as an industrial one. Cities expanded as workers flocked to urban environments seeking employment for themselves and the other members of their households. Few cities were able to easily absorb the increases in population, and tenements and slums became a curse on many. Appalling living and working conditions were just part of the price of progress. Crime became a problem in crowded cities. Ethnic neighborhoods emerged, bringing with them the signs of intolerance and prejudice. While the owners of the factories grew fortunes from their profits, the workers found themselves largely unable to purchase the fruits of their labors. The result was resistance to progress, to innovation, and to change. Each new invention found those who opposed it. Each new system found those desiring to retain the old. The one certainty throughout the period was change, a certainty which some greatly feared. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1132 Athelstan: The First Monarch of England Athelstan: The First King of England 3 Sep 2024 --- #biography #england #history In the past, we have already looked at the life of Alfred the Great, the King of Wessex who repelled the Viking invasion and proclaimed himself the King of the Anglo-Saxons. Afterward, we studied the tale of his son and heir, Edward the Elder, who continued his father’s Viking-bashing ways, further fortified his position, and even added new territories to his kingdom. So if you want to get the picture in full, maybe watch those two videos first if you haven’t already seen them. The goal both Alfred and Edward had in mind was obvious - to unite England under their rule. But although both men were instrumental in laying the foundations to accomplish this, neither one lived long enough to see their ambition fulfilled. Instead, that honor went to Edward’s son and the final subject in our little trilogy, Athelstan, the first King of England. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1607 Sergeant Stubby: WWI's Most Decorated Canine "Sergeant Stubby: The Most Decorated Dog of WWI 28 Mar 2024 --- From 1914 to 1918, tens of millions of young men suffered the horrors of the Great War: the trenches, the maddening din of artillery, the hail of machine guns, and the deadly fog released by gas attacks. Almost 10 million of them never returned home. But even when trudging through the mud, the mist, and the misery, millions of men could count on an army of brave and loyal companions: some 16 million animals who served on both sides of the conflict. Horses, pigeons, and dogs were conscripted to transport supplies, serve as messengers, stand guard, or even provide first aid. Dogs proved rather versatile, as they hauled weapons and supplies, carried messages, killed vermin in the trenches, detected enemy scouts, and stood guard. As many as 10,000 canine friends were trained to find wounded soldiers in no man's land. They became known as “mercy dogs”; clad in a Red Cross vest, they carried a first aid kit, water, and liquor to comfort wounded troops. In today’s Biographics, we are proud to bring you the story of a small mongrel who could, and did, perform all of those duties. More astoundingly, our friend was not conscripted. In fact, one may argue that he volunteered. This is the story of “Sergeant” Stubby, the most decorated dog of World War I. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1639 Was Franklin Pierce the Most Dejected President of the United States? Was Franklin Pierce the Saddest President of the United States? 19 Sep 2024 --- Franklin Pierce, who pronounced his surname as “purse”, is consistently ranked as one of the worst Presidents in American history. His administration, which occurred in the decade preceding the American Civil War, is cited as one in which the causes of that war were exacerbated by the President’s policies. Though a native of New Hampshire, Pierce generated considerable enmity from his fellow New Englanders, largely due to his stand against the abolitionists that demanded an end to slavery. His political skills were unequal to the challenges he faced in office, and his own Democratic Party refused to nominate him to run for a second term, an almost unheard of circumstance in American politics. His life was one of tragedy and melancholy. His wife’s family disapproved of him. It took eight years of courting before she could be persuaded to marry him. Jane Means Appleton, who eventually became his wife, was deeply religious, hated politics, despised Washington, and opposed the consumption of alcohol to the point she was active in temperance movements in antebellum New England. Pierce, on the other hand, thrived in political and legal maneuvers, drank to excess, and served in several posts in Washington. His views on religion can be surmised by his refusal to take the oath of office as President by swearing on a Bible. He affirmed his oath with his hand on a lawbook. Franklin Pierce entered the Presidency prone to bouts of depression, his wife having refused to accompany him to Washington. Throughout his four years in office, he drank to excess. His was a gloomy, unhappy White House. He may well have been one of the worst presidents in history. He may also have been the saddest, or at the very least, the unhappiest. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

19 Sep 2024

Franklin Pierce, who pronounced his surname as “purse”, is consistently ranked as one of the worst Presidents in American history. His administration, which occurred in the decade preceding the American Civil War, is cited as one in which the causes of that war were exacerbated by the President’s policies. Though a native of New Hampshire, Pierce generated considerable enmity from his fellow New Englanders, largely due to his stand against the abolitionists that demanded an end to slavery. His political skills were unequal to the challenges he faced in office, and his own Democratic Party refused to nominate him to run for a second term, an almost unheard of circumstance in American politics. His life was one of tragedy and melancholy. His wife’s family disapproved of him. It took eight years of courting before she could be persuaded to marry him. Jane Means Appleton, who eventually became his wife, was deeply religious, hated politics, despised Washington, and opposed the consumption of alcohol to the point she was active in temperance movements in antebellum New England. Pierce, on the other hand, thrived in political and legal maneuvers, drank to excess, and served in several posts in Washington. His views on religion can be surmised by his refusal to take the oath of office as President by swearing on a Bible. He affirmed his oath with his hand on a lawbook. Franklin Pierce entered the Presidency prone to bouts of depression, his wife having refused to accompany him to Washington. Throughout his four years in office, he drank to excess. His was a gloomy, unhappy White House. He may well have been one of the worst presidents in history. He may also have been the saddest, or at the very least, the unhappiest. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

]]> 1972 The Piltdown Man - Science's Biggest Deception in Historical Record The Piltdown Man - The Biggest Scientific Hoax in History 4 Oct 2024 --- #biography #sciencefacts #hoax It was December 18, 1912, and a very exciting meeting was about to take place in London that would soon send the world into a frenzy. Before the Geological Society stood two men - amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson and paleontologist Arthur Smith Woodward, curator of the Geology Department of the Museum of Natural History. The duo had something quite captivating to present to the scientific community - the reconstruction of a skull believed to have belonged to a human ancestor from 500,000 years ago. It was named Eoanthropus dawsoni after its discoverer, but most people referred to it by its other name - Piltdown Man. Soon enough, newspapers worldwide heralded it as the much sought-after “missing link” - an ancient ancestor whose existence had been theorized for decades, ever since Charles Darwin made evolution the hot topic of the natural sciences. The British media, in particular, was enthralled with the discovery and proudly labeled Piltdown Man as the “Earliest Englishman.” Both the scientific community and the public at large accepted Piltdown Man as what they perceived it to be - a crucial discovery and a pivotal moment in the study of life on Earth. There was just one problem, though, and spoiler alert here - Piltdown Man was one of the greatest hoaxes the world had ever seen. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
