259 - The Battle Over America's Origin Story
b'Dr. Brian Regal joins us again (actually his 6th appearance!) to discuss his latest work, The Battle Over America\'s Origin Story.\\xa0\\nWe know Columbus didn\'t "discover" America, yet there are so many competing narratives that seek to topple Columbus yet still not acknowledge the clear and obvious indigenous people who were already here when all of these explorers allegedly arrived. Regal\'s latest book looks at a broad swath of these fringe historian theories and gives them context in the bigger picture of people\'s search for national identity in the the United States.\\xa0\\n\\nPrevious Visits from Dr. Regal:\\nYetiPalooza #116\\nMontague Summers #110\\nHis Story of the Jersey Devil #71\\nSearching for Sasquatch #36\\nDarwin vs the Wolf-man #06\\n\\nBooks by Regal:\\nSearching for Sasquatch\\xa0\\nThe Secret History of the Jersey Devil\\xa0\\nPseudoscience: A Critical Encyclopedia\\n\\n\\ufeffCan\\u2019t get enough of monsters?\\nIf you\\u2019ve enjoyed this episode and want to listen to more from MonsterTalk, click here!\\nWant to talk about a monster we haven\\u2019t talked about before?
