In 1988, the Hawley family began excavating a Kansas cornfield after old river maps, survey records, and local accounts placed the steamboat Arabia beneath it.

About 45 feet down, they reached the wreck.

The Arabia had struck a submerged cottonwood snag and sunk in the Missouri River in 1856. The boat still lay where it went down, but by the time the excavation began, the active river channel was nearly half a mile away.

The Missouri had shifted across its floodplain. Repeated floods buried the abandoned channel beneath sand, silt, and mud until the wreck sat below working farmland.

What came out of that old riverbed was more than a shipwreck.

The cargo was a large commercial shipment from one precisely dated voyage. It had been packed in St. Louis for merchants farther upriver and sank before it could be divided among stores and customers.

The shipment included commercial quantities of footwear, hardware, ceramics, textiles, medicines, preserved foods, tools, and household goods. Archaeologists were looking at merchandise before use, breakage, repair, reuse, and disposal altered the assemblage.

That is rare.

Many nineteenth century sites are built from refuse, loss, demolition, and repeated occupation. The Arabia preserved a shipment before it entered any of those processes.

Waterlogged, low oxygen sediment slowed the decay of leather, wood, textiles, seeds, and food that normally survive poorly at dry sites. The result was an unusually large, tightly dated collection of mid nineteenth century goods from the Missouri River trade.

People remember the Arabia because someone found a steamboat beneath a cornfield.

I remember it because the field used to be the Missouri River.

This somewhat bonkers LUCILLE BALL one hour special did well in the ratings, was trashed by the critics, featured music by Phil Spector, and co-starred Anthony Newley and The Dave Clark Five.

Rest in peace to the woman who played the most despicable daughter in cinema history and thank you for inspiring the funniest monologue in Designing Women.

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
