Pony Express Monument in Sidney, Nebraska

August 28, 2025

One hundred-and-fifty-plus years ago, Pony Express riders galloped across eight states delivering the mail. The states included California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. While the Pony Express was short-lived, lasting just 18 months from April of 1860 to October of 1861, it’s still the most famous mail delivery system ever used. The Pony Express was fueled by the Gold Rush in the West, which created a pressing need for faster mail service between East and West. Riders...

August 28, 2025

Very few have remained in their traditional form over the years, as the trend for craft IPAs, ironic neon and...

Myra Canyon Trestles in Kelowna, British Columbia

August 27, 2025

In the 20th century, this canyon posed a daunting challenge to engineers trying to build a railway line here. The Industrial Revolution’s need for railway connections prompted the ambitious undertaking of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR). But this was no small feat. Construction of the Myra Canyon section was incredibly difficult because of its steep terrain and remote location. It required the building of 18 major wooden trestles, two steel bridges, and two tunnels across unstable grounds. Led by...

Beckman Auditorium in Pasadena, California

August 26, 2025

People don’t like the sound of other people eating, but too bad. I wonder who figured out ASMR first. Like...

Somme 1916 Museum in Albert, France

August 25, 2025

The Battle of the Somme may have been a relatively short-lived offensive, lasting only five months from July 1 to November 18, 1916.

The deadly detritus of the world’s first industrial-scale slaughter is displayed in this remarkable museum’s exhibits: bullets, shell shrapnel, rifles, pistols, mustard gas canisters, grenades, bayonets, and machine guns.

Fremantle Prison in Fremantle, Australia

August 24, 2025

A former Australian prison, Fremantle is now preserved as Western Australia’s only World Heritage-listed building. Visitors can still explore its cellblocks, perimeter walls, gallows, and and underground labyrinth of tunnels—once home to imperial convicts, colonial prisoners, enemy ‘aliens’, prisoners of war, and maximum-security detainees. Although Western Australia began as a “free” colony, economic hardship led it to ask Britain to send prisoners, who then built the very prison meant to contain them. When transportation ended in 1868, Fremantle became...

Reich’s Burger King in Nuremberg, Germany

August 24, 2025

Walking around Germany today, one sees few signs of the brutal years of Nazi rule. Aside from concentration camps and a handful of larger sites like Berlin’s Olympic Stadium and the Nuremberg Rally Grounds preserved as memorials, Germany has scrubbed away signs of its dark past and replaced them with memorials remembering countless victims. From the early 1930s until 1945, swastikas and Reichsadlers (“eagles of the Reich,” which usually held swastikas in their talons) were splashed over every German...
