‘The Commie Killing Joy-Girls Of The Bay Of Pigs’

May 4, 2022, by JimC

It’s been a full four years since I alerted Frontier Partisans across the globe to be on the lookout for the Nude Queen of the Communist Cannibals. Despite the turbulence the world has experienced since then, our vigilance remains undiminished. I said it then and I’ll say it again now: I do it for America. Inevitably, the dive into 19th Century … [Read more...] about ‘The Commie Killing Joy-Girls Of The Bay Of Pigs’

Stalked By Filibusters

May 2, 2022, by JimC

I started off the Frontier Partisans Podcast series on filibustering with a description of an attempt to liberate Cuba that was on the nose in 1851 AND in 1961. As you know, I love that hit of Continuity & Persistence. Synchronicity then fired a shot that echoes in the Sierra Maestra. Christopher Othen dropped a potential cover for his … [Read more...] about Stalked By Filibusters

The Jameson Raid

May 2, 2022, by JimC

* Currently at work on the final episode of the Frontier Partisans Podcast series on filibustering. This podcast will explore an episode that occurred far afield from the Central American theater usually associated with filibustering — and much later. The Jameson Raid took place at the turn of the year 1895/96, in the Transvaal in Southern Africa. … [Read more...] about The Jameson Raid

Working The Trapline — Old Corrals And Sagebrush

April 25, 2022, by JimC

Lady Marilyn had a plan for Saturday. She was craving the road and some wide open spaces. So we headed East to reconnect with the West. The mission was to hit Crystal Crane Hot Springs, a three-hour drive way out into the sage, not far from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The hot springs was a McGuffin, really, mostly a reason to hit the … [Read more...] about Working The Trapline — Old Corrals And Sagebrush

Reassessing Jan Smuts’ War

April 21, 2022, by JimC

The East Africa Campaign of World War I is one of the key Frontier Partisans theaters of war in the modern era. It was the theater that saw the battlefield death of the great African hunter, Frederick Courteney Selous. It was the theater that saw PJ Pretorius’ magnificent work as Chief of Scouts to General Jan Smuts. Smuts, a South African who … [Read more...] about Reassessing Jan Smuts’ War

A Dark Wind Blows

April 19, 2022, by JimC

My mother loved Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee mysteries. Wish she could have seen the upcoming series Dark Winds, which drops on AMC and AMC+ in June. Here’s the caper, from Deadline: The series, set in 1971 on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Tribal Police as he is … [Read more...] about A Dark Wind Blows

Dahomey Amazons

April 18, 2022, by JimC

In a post a couple of weeks back on diversity and representation, I inveighed against a phony diversity sought by simply sticking people of different ethnicities into standard-fare, oft-told European and American tales. Far better to go farther afield for history and folklore. I cried out: Give us Dahomey Amazons! Well, that’s happening. … [Read more...] about Dahomey Amazons

The Old Gods Of Appalachia

April 16, 2022, by JimC

Just cut the trail of the horror fiction podcast The Old Gods of Appalachia. Turns out that when you raise over $1 million for a role-playing game based on your anthology podcast, it leaves spoor across the internet. Here’s the caper: In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our … [Read more...] about The Old Gods Of Appalachia
