I mean I've in lawn mowers, stock, car or whatever. The is a soap box, derby, car their trunks there's some for equipment. This is Blair, tar, curator for the Kansas Museum of History, which is part of the Kansas State, historical society in Topeka, inside the museum behind two enormous double doors. Is an area not open to the public? It's a huge. Where

with floor to ceiling shelves lined with the most random assortment of objects. The pink thing that you see up there is actually a breast? The merger so and we do have the male equivalent as well in the collection. So it is a little bit of everything because we are charged with the history of Kansas and collecting for it, and you know any aspect of kids is If we try to collect a little bit of it. We've got over a hundred thousand artifacts here, leave got the gallows used to hang Richard Hickock and Perry Smith. The two murders Tr Capote made famous when he wrote in cold blood. They have their gravestones to. And they have a revolver. There was hand car dead of wood by an inmate at the state penitentiary in Lansing. He used it to try to bluff his way out of prison, but we were there to learn about a woman and her hatchet.

She said very early on that when she would be photographed, she wanted to be photographed the Bible in one hand and her hat it. The other Carrie Amelia more was born in eighteen, forty, six in a farm in Garrett, County Kentucky her father, George Moore, was a wealthy farmer who always had a corn cob pipe between his teeth. Carrie said that when she was a little girl, she admired her father so much that she filed her own teeth down to look more like him. Her mother, Mary Campbell Moore, was raising four stepchildren and nearly always pregnant. She spent the end of life in an asylum. This is the time when it wouldn't take. A lot put somebody in an asylum, particularly women, if they at work but not to be living up to the standards of a woman in the time period she is put in the asylum by a son who owed her money

and all he really had to do was say. My mother is crazy. You've got to take her in, and that was really about all that was needed to do that in the in the nineteenth century. So Carrie never believed that she and her mother was really insane. When Carrie was nineteen years old, a young dog showed up at the family's doorstep. His name was Charles Gloyd. He was said to be a smart guy. He spoke, several languages opened a small school and rented a room in the more house. Carry wasn't allowed to be alone with him under any circumstances. Her mother said he was an act, have drag on the energies of those around him but Kerry liked him. He would leave secret notes for her inside of books. She would reply and sneak the books back onto his night stand after two years. They set a wedding date. Her mother was,

yes. On the day of the wedding Charles Gloyd showed up drunk. I did not find doctor gloyd to be the lover I expected. She wrote he was never home drinking every night her parents visited and and carry in worn out dirty clothes with no food in the house they convinced her to get out of there and move back home with them. Within six months, Charles Corey was dead she prayed for a new husband. She wrote her diary that she didn't have anyone in mind and ass God to pick someone out for her. A week later, she saw an older man in the street, well extremely long white beard and a quote startling appearance. His name was David nation he's looking for somebody to take fear his household

step so light in the 19th century. To you have with trying to find some sort of support, they have men. We were trying to find somebody to run their household. It's a marriage of convenience in a lot of ways. They married in eighteen, seventy seven and moved a very small town in Kansas, called Medicine Lodge. It really comes into her own. I think at this point because she gets involved at the community. She becomes well with the women's Christian Temperance Union, because well because of her first but she's, very much interested in the idea of prohibition, and she has what to say about that about how this the woman, obviously America, It's been drinking alcohol since the pilgrims, but in the 18th century the week insider everyone was drinking at every meal was replaced by rum and whiskey, and it took a little while to realize that there was a pretty big deal.

It's in the alcohol content. Something was up by one thousand, eight hundred and thirty, the average American drink three times as just we drink today. You know, I guess. The idea here is women are: are the ones that bore the brunt, and have a lot of this alcoholism because of the husbands were drunk all the time they weren't going to work and they weren't helping around the house and they were valuable money they could be used to feed children and their their wives. Carrie was not shy about putting forth that pro idea. Not only were men blowing all their money on booze they'd come home, drunk and be physically abusive bars, attracted customers with gambling and sex. So husbands often brought syphilis and gonorrhea home to their wives, and while women had no legal recourse against their husbands, they could advocate for prohibition. Kansas was the first state to prohibit alcohol in its const

touchon in one thousand eight hundred and eighty one now the line Kansas does have that little catch all about liquor can be served for medicinal purposes which had bake, loophole and places including medicine Lodge where there is a pharmacy. That liquor is of fillable in obviously, a little but more than just medicinal purposes. It is literally a back room at the pharmacist has where he's serving liquor. A pharmacist might recommend rum with milk to help a woman get pregnant, roman aloe might cure a sore toe and Drinking rum with horse urine was prescribed for weight loss, but really it doesn't appear. It took much to convince a pharmacist to take your money and serve drink outside of the pharmacies. You could also fine legal bars all over Kansas. The old joke is that there were so turns in western Kansas places.

No bear only. I know beer here near bear three miles, so everybody knows where there's liquor being served. It's not no great secret Carrie couldn't stand. It She organized groups of women to go into bars and sing and try to reason with the men inside and when people made fun of her, which they often did in the very small town she prayed that God would send a tornado to destroy all the bars in Kansas. She would go into the jails and ask each inmate why they were there. They also because they gotten drunk in the nearby town of Kiawah Carrie took this in our to the county attorney and he ignored her. She then went to the state's attorney he ignored her too, so she went directly to the governor. She wrote after appealing to the governor in vain. I found that we could go no other authority on earth and so

in June of one thousand nine hundred she fit her hands cooked meal her husband and God on the road to Kiawah, with a buggy full of bricks. I'm Phoebe Judge this. She needed to calm after dark and selected friends. Have she woke up very early the next morning and went straight to she knew to be a secret bar? It was called a freshman stand. She walked in and said men I've come to save you from a drunkard's grave. Smashing. When you say smashing, it's a just throwing stuff smashing can be destroyed in glasses, breaking glass, smashing mirrors, smashing liquor, bottles,

doing damage to furniture in the place windows, if necessary. Just about anything, it may cause any sort of damage. Does she says to herself? Okay, the protests aren't working, the songs aren't working. I've got a step it up. I've got to step it up and you, though, a minute I'm just gonna start throwing things yeah. She smashed three Kyle Bars that day, even throwing a billiard ball at the head of a bartender. She said she felt invincible. The streets filled up with people watching and she introduced herself to them as gods right arm. She gave a speech explaining that she was not a criminal that the police officers and government officials were the real criminals for refusing to enforce prohibition. She hated politicians

and he did President William Mckinley. She said government like dead fish, stinks worse at the head. She was arrested, but there is a problem: she's destroying property, that legally isn't so just to exist so that sort of limits you can maybe get her for disturbing the peace or something like that. But we, destroying property. That's another story! You could charge somebody with what isn't supposed to exist to begin with, the Kiawah mayor, concluded that nothing ever happened and let her go home, so her next target is Wichita. She set her sights on the fanciest bar in the entire state of Kansas, the Kerry Hotel BAR and it was in Wichita someone handed her a hatchet for the very first time that became a very handy device. You realize this could do an awful lot. She could take it good bar and start chopping away at it. So she

didn't just smash battle should also start hatchet. The bar she could destroy them, first further. She thought that was necessary. She was trying to drive home a point, It's a very strong way to drive home a point, but she was straight. The hatchet really suited her she'd swing it around and say: come near my hatchet, it might fall on you and she used it to wreck everything. Kerry hotel bar Crystal Decanter, a chandelier. She the wrong side of all the chairs two thousand dollars in damage. One man said he thought judgment he had arrived. She called it Hajji Tatian. I want brought before a judge to do system you or dishonor this time she but sent to jail for quite awhile. She found jail inspiring. She thought it strengthened and purified her and while

who's in jail to receive letters from women in other parts of the state, they'd heard what she done and wanted her to come to their town and save their homes. This is how she came to reinvent herself. As your loving home defender Kerry, a nation offer wondering about the spelling of her first name, because sometimes she use ie e it. Sometimes it was why well up to the time she started smashing. She tended to use ie, but when she started smashing in begin to get an audience it went for to why you could hear her I could usually ended up something like and with these efforts we can carry a nation. Newspapers are all over her and exaggerated everything. She called a giant, a secret drinker, a man in women's clothes, one reporter and described her as a quote,

simple werewolf. But what's interesting is when you look at her dresses, preserve, preserved the Kansas historical society. You see just how much the papers exaggerated she wasn't a giant at all. She was short and her dresses while simple and a little bit moth eaten after one hundred and seventeen years have a delicate line of pearl buttons up the side and a silk bow on the shoulder in Wichita bar owners need to prepare for her arrival. When she arrived in Topeka for boy, first trap doors just inside entrances, people through exit face, and she calmly wipe them away. There's a store. How a bar owner bear kidding himself in his customers inside

the Kansas City, STAR reported that carry coax them out by speaking gently and saying boys boys, your mother, to talk to you, but she's gentle enough in the way she speaks that, although they've been, barricaded in the saloon. They take down the barricade and open up the doors so that she can she doesn't actually do that smashing there, but she does talk to them. It'll, always, I think that's what she preferred to do. If she wasn't going to be able to talk, she was going to Smashing replacement for being denied the privilege of lecturing two them and when you actually talk to her most people found her very easy to talk to. If she was provoked. She would get angry you hire her, I admire murder a lot more than I did years ago. Nice only because of all the things that I know about her now.

Had the same that you couldn't give me the load, so I had to use the rock. She was against small king and she would literally walk down the streets of cities and go up to smokers. And pull you to the cigars cigarettes out of their mouth and step on them and live We tell them that that was not for the men also not healthy for her. She has good instincts, it doesn't always have the science or the real that rationale that we might have today behind her, but she sort of understands things that we know now to be very true. In Topeka, she set her sights on a bar called the Senate saloon that was popular with politicians. Obviously, the people who enacted they or not exercising prohibition themselves. She smashed everything a large mirror behind the bar. The

museum at the Kansas Historical society has a shard that mirror on display the owner picked up the fragments and for five cents they could buy a fresh, Minton, have whatever they wanted to drink it have but all the time, sometimes with her that somehow the saloon owner would manage to make a profit out of it. Somehow- and he did, she found herself back in jail where she started her own newspaper. The smash is male and by the end of the month she was on the front page of the New York Times. She was signing autographs pictures of herself and stir, but it's selling them, but then she found something even better. What is this tiny little? Is that a pin that

tiny little hatchet tiny little hatchet yeah these when she was here in Topeka man, approached her with a box of little hatchets. He said you could sell these and she did. She saw them out rapidly. There's also a stick pin to stick pins, they think were zero dollars and twenty five cents, these pins, the lapel pins, were zero dollars and fifty cents. She saw them out of a purse that she always carry out her side. Twenty five and zero dollars and fifty cents was Conson Board in early nineteen hundreds, this paid for her transportation would pay for winds, occasionally housing, good food when she was traveling about the country, and she was always replenishing her stuck because he kept selling these pens when you,

through all the archival photos of her at the historical society. Some of them show her standing in front of huge groups of supporters. She's always got that leather purse strap across her chest. They have the purse at the historical society and it's in surprisingly, good condition. An oval hand with a sturdy metal clasp at the top. They also have her diary and a watch and a Bible. She inscribed your nephew and are these her teeth? What is this We don't know if those are for sure her teeth We do know that she had false teeth, well because there is at least one story from. I think it's Trinidad CO, where she went into a saloon to lecture the owner was not terribly pleased about that and he threw her out saloon and apparently the part of the false teeth. And actually started. She actually started choking

I always like to this is a sign that actually showed up in a lot of saloons. All nations are welcome to accept, carry, This was not meant to be a compliment but shia prayer, some humor in it in Reddit. From one thousand nine hundred and one she made her way to New York City Shiwa. Fifty five years old and spoke to a sold out. Out at Carnegie Hall. She gave, Beach in Atlantic City, where she reportedly sold more than two thousand of her little hatchet pens. And then she met Susan B Anthony. Apparently they do have a lot in common Carrie nation, wrote that an elite EAST coast, woman. Like Susan B, Anthony quote, didn't see, I understand the need for the hatchet by November of that year, David Nation, filed for divorce. She who is famous enough for this to be national news. They been married for

twenty four years, I'm marry. This woman, because I did someone to run my house. He told reporters when asked to comment. Carrie nation said David, isn't a bad fellow, but he's too slow for me over the next ten years. She traveled all over the US and Canada giving lectures smashing and getting arrested. She even visited Europe in Scotland. She gave a lecture called how I smashed. Why I smashed and how can smash. I I don't think I've ever said. The word smash as much as I have just doing this story. I love the word. Smashing I've never it seems, encompass, so much is like destroying at it could have ironic too, because, usually, if you use the word smashed you're, usually talking about somebody, who's been drinking too much

but yeah. She is probably the best face. Prohibition never had as far as a figure that you can identify with it. On January 13th One thousand nine hundred and eleven she was giving a speech in Eureka Springs Arkansa. When she collapsed. She was sixty four years old, the headlines are all over the country that carry nation to great saloons measure has passed away. Hey and she is in fact, sort of almost forgotten a little bit. Because she's buried in the family plot at Belton MO but for many Mister is only a wooden plaque on her grave, with her name painted on it in doing mid 20s, the citizens of Belton decided she needed something, a lot more granular than that and they put up this nice marble stone on the grave before she died. She wrote her story and called it the youth in need of the life of Carrie, a nation. She revise

at seven times. The nineteen oh Five addition ends with the line marvel not that the world hates you, no, that it hated me before it hated you bring more on drink from telling image and your loving home depender, if you're going through it alone and ask enhance whining, except for anything that is played by rocking foot greens and football and everything that is rotten boy him and it will rush them and screen pencil rock paper will rust in stone, will execute, often and making waffle mix of everything.
