Surprise! It's a bonus episode from The Past and the Curious! We just released an episode

on Monday and normally we're a monthly release but the following Friday I got another episode out

because this is a story that I've wanted to tell for a long time and I had it slotted in

somewhere else and something else wound up in its place and had it and I just wanted to do something

with it so I thought I would record it, do a quick edit on it and share it with you. It's about a

man named Henry Knox who is generally not remembered. That's his name on Fort Knox you've ever heard

of Fort Knox but that's most people's only relationship with him unless you happen to be from Boston

missions. Arclis saved countless lives but what made Sgt. Arclis most unique was the fact that she

was a horse. Arclis was calm in the midst of chaos. She was taught to step over communication

lines and barbed wire and to see it cover when hearing the word incoming. Arclis was the only

animal ever to receive an official rank in the U.S. Marine Corps. Kate that was great. I admit that I

made a big mistake by not putting that in the previous episode from last week episode 57.

Thematically that would have been perfect with all the horse talk but I'm glad that we fitted in

right here and if you have a you have 30 seconds you have a you have a you have a 30 seconds

then all you got to do is make a voice recording it's in it to hello at the past and the curious
