Berkshire textile workers joined 'The Uprising of '34' in force (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was drizzling rain at 6 a.m. that Tuesday morning in Adams as more than a thousand workers arrived as usual at mills along Hoosac and Columbia streets. This time, though, they never went inside. The workers of Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates had just joined âthe Uprising.â Going into Labor Day weekend the Friday before, local experts had predicted thereâd be no work stoppage in the Berkshires, even as the national United Textile Workers declared the beginning of a general strike. Whi
When the 'Turkish Joan of Arc' spoke at Williams College (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wasnât she nervous, folks asked â being the first woman to speak at Williams Collegeâs prestigious Institute of Politics? The locals asking her likely did not know that nine years earlier she had been the first woman in history to address the multitudes in Sultanahmet Square, in that ancient city of Constantinople; that men by the tens of thousands had roared applause at her words â or how they fallen to their knees, tears on their cheeks, pledging themselves to the Turkish revolution as
The Two-Headed Man had his circus swan song in Pittsfield (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a clear summer night in 1919, the famed Two-Headed Man gave his final appearance in whatâs now Deming Park in Pittsfield.

Margaret Foley stoked the fire for suffrage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"The time has come when the men of this nation must recognize that the cause of woman suffrage is an issue as vital as the problem of life itself," called Margaret Foley from beside the monument of McKinley in Adams, 113 years ago this week. A crowd about 700 strong thundered applause that July evening in 1913, even as a small band of young men marched by, attempting to heckle the gathering. Foley chuckled at the young males, and continued. Eighteen months ago she had been "heckling" Lieutenant
Red Lion exhibit chooses folklore over facts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was recently able to check out âThree years Older than Americaâ on display at the Fitz gallery of the Red Lion Inn. Itâs an interesting collection of images and records of inn history from various eras. No part of the exhibit dates to three years before America, though, just as nothing about the Red Lion Inn truly dates to 1773. The text presented in the new exhibit is perhaps the most quintessential version of the legend as itâs been told over the past few decades. It states that the
