Episode Six: Carlisle Before Carlisle
Listen to the episode here: https://carlisle-indian-school-research.zencast.website/episodes/6.
This episode covers three topics, each briefly. First, as noted in my discussion of the Native people who originally lived in the Carlisle area, I used:
Judith Ridner, A Town In-Between: Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the Early Mid-Atlantic Interior, 2010.
Christopher Bilodeau, “Before Carlisle: The Lower Susquehanna Valley as Contested Native Space,” in Carlisle Indian Industrial School: Indigenous Histories, Memories, and Reclamations, ed. Jacqueline Fear-Segal and Susan D. Rose, 2016.
My discussion of the history of the Carlisle Barracks drew upon:
Thomas G. Tousey, Military History of Carlisle and Carlisle Barracks, 1939.
Paul E. Zuver, A Short History of Carlisle Barracks, [1934?]
Both of these are out of print.
I mention the Hessian Guard House—here’s a postcard of it as it stood during the Indian School time period.
And last, but not least, the business directories. Here’s the section I was flipping through during the podcast:
I think that’s it for these show notes. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or send me an email at info@katetheimer.com. You can also contact me through my Facebook page: Carlisle Indian School Research. Thanks for listening/reading!
