Ep. 25: The Dissent Exhibit

Host Dutchie Jessee sits down with Christina Vida, curator at the The Valentine in Richmond, to explore the museum’s powerful exhibit “Descent: Liberty and Loyalty in Early Richmond.” Their conversation dives into the complicated stories of Virginians during the American Revolution, from Loyalists who remained faithful to the British Crown to enslaved people seeking their own freedom. Vida shares the stories behind figures like Samuel Gist, a tobacco merchant who freed more than 300 enslaved people in his will, and London, an enslaved youth who escaped with British forces and later served as a trumpeter in the British Army. The episode also examines how the museum used artificial intelligence to create portraits of historical figures who were never photographed or painted, helping visitors connect with the people who shaped early Richmond between the 1770s and 1830s.

Episode Ep. 24: The Legend of Kingsville Cover

Ep. 24: The Legend of Kingsville

History lovers, Virginia buffs and myth-busters alike, this episode of Cardinal News 250 digs into one of central Virginia’s most persistent legends: the claim that 70 French soldiers are buried in Kingsville near Hampden-Sydney College after dying of smallpox during the American Revolution. Host Lisa Rowan sits down with historian and archaeologist Charles Pearson to trace the story back to a 1930 DAR marker, explore the role of Luzon’s Legion after the Siege of Yorktown and examine how fact, folklore and local memory became tangled over time. With deep reporting on Revolutionary War history, colonial Virginia, archaeological investigations and historical records, this episode unpacks what really happened, what didn’t and why this story has endured for more than a century. From smallpox myths to French troops in Virginia to the power of historical markers to shape public memory, Cardinal News 250 delivers a fascinating look at how legends are born and how historians work to separate truth from tradition.
