This is it.
The only known photograph of a woman whose name still sends chills through a small Alabama town.

She buried six husbands.
Left behind no letters, no memoir…
Just court records, gossip columns — and a legend that refuses to die.

Some called her misunderstood.
Others called her something much darker.

We’ve been following her paper trail — and let’s just say, the story is not what we expected.

More soon.

I honestly don’t even know how to put this into words.

10,000 subscribers.

But this isn’t about a number. It’s about you — the people who keep showing up, who watch, comment, share, or just quietly follow along. You’re the reason this little project called Exploring History is still going.

When we started this, we had no idea if anyone would care about these stories… these hidden corners of the past we keep digging into. But you’ve proved that there are people out there who care — who believe history still matters.

So from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. For believing in this. For being curious. For being part of this journey.

We’re just getting started. 🙏

Today’s the day 🇺🇸

I know the fireworks and food get all the attention — but honestly, I woke up just feeling proud to be an American.

It’s not perfect — it never has been — but the fact that we can keep striving, keep speaking up, and keep building something better… that’s the whole idea behind July 4th.

Back in 1776, they didn’t just declare independence from a king — they declared something bold:
That all people are created equal.
That freedom matters.
That the people are the power.

So yeah… today’s for celebrating that spirit.
Grillin’, chillin’, and throwin’ peace signs in this glorious shirt — because I can.
And because I’m thankful for every single person who made that possible.

Happy 4th, y’all! 🇺🇸💥

I seriously love comments like this.

It’s not the first time someone’s said they’ve shared one of our stories with their class, and every time it just hits me. Like… wow. A teacher thought something we created was worth showing to their students. That means more than I can say.

It honestly makes my day. It reminds me we’re on the right track — that all the digging, researching, late nights, and rabbit holes are worth it.

To anyone who’s ever taken the time to leave a comment like that: thank you. Really. It’s humbling, and it keeps us going more than you probably realize.

Now I just wish some of y’all would send pictures of your students watching — that would be amazing. ❤️📚😉

🕵️‍♂️ We love the research phase. There’s nothing like stumbling onto a unique document, a forgotten newspaper clipping, or a photo that hasn’t seen daylight in a hundred years.

But here’s the danger: one second you’re checking a date… and three hours later you’re deep in 1870s tax records trying to figure out if someone’s great-uncle was secretly in the militia. 😅

Still worth it every time.
