On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist includes the Texas Rev(olution), 1835 personal ads, we discuss the marketability of corn milk, the fanciest of fancy meringue cakes, the end of bloodletting and the beginning of double blind trials (were they really trials?), wax statues, and packing the court. Next, Amy Jo presents the fanciful story of the Great Moon Hoax of 1835. The beginning of sensationalism in the press and hints of yellow journalism helped set the stage for a wild, serialized, imaginative set of stories that grew in popularity by the day, kicking off debate in the streets as to their veracity. There’s a cameo by a disgruntled Edgar Allen Poe, oh, and John Herchel is back! Yay!
