Episode 117: John Warren of the New York State Almanack

<p>We travel this week to the Adirondacks (virtually speaking) to talk with John Warren, founder and publisher of <em>New York Almanack</em>. Formerly known as the <em>New York History Blog</em>, the <em>Almanack</em> delivers stories and information about all aspects of New York State history as well as the Adirondacks region.</p> <p>John has pursued history in many forms, including his degree in Public History and his work producing documentaries for the History and Discovery channels. Through the <em>Almanack</em>, he provides a trailhead that can lead you to every corner and era of the state, from Freedomland in the Bronx of the 1960s to the Revolutionary War Forts at Canajoharie.</p> <p>We also talk about researching in old newspapers, Ken Burns, and the upstate view of Long Island.</p> <p><strong>Further Research</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://newyorkalmanack.com/" data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">New York Almanack</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.wgpfoundation.org/">William G.
