The 19th Century contains so much of what the modern age is - and we get to see some of the stranger aspects in this episode…
The Medicine Show or Carnival with spiritualism, menageries and mountebanks. 

And then the merging of the ancient work songs with the modern era - to create the soundtracks we now live with.
And of course, the beginnings of traveling to go some place - just to see it. 

The idea that the world is a big giant place filled with wonders we have never imagined coming to a town or a room near you - where “you” is just a regular person - rather than a fabulously wealthy person… That is a huge legacy of the 19th Century. 
As is the frontier lawman - which is why we are hanging out in the world of Bass Reeves.


We slosh around in a few metaphors... and Esau (Barry Pepper) rises boack to the top like the scum he is to start haunting our man.

As always - you can reach us on the internets.
