“Women had had the vote for only four years.” That was true in some states in 1924, but not in Wyoming. The Wyoming Territorial Legislature extended voting rights to women in 1869. In 1890, Wyoming refused to accept statehood when it was conditioned on rescinding women’s suffrage. It finally entered the Union as the first state where women voted. That’s why Wyoming is sometimes called “The Suffrage State.”
Wyoming: Large per capita population of native american and Mormon people. To this day still, an extremely remote and lonely state. Hence, a bad place to have the dumb idea that you are going to get anywhere treating your wife as a second class citizen.
@@georgemckenna462 yes. Life on the frontier proved women to be equal and valuable partners. That's why several other western states were earlier with the women's vote.
I never could figure out how to roll a coin through my fingers like that, but I agree that the Franklin half is one of our nation's most pleasing coins.
i struggle with it, but i struggle with more than a few tasks involving fine motor skills because i’m autistic and thats pretty common amongst autistic people. no big deal though, as i’ve practiced them where they matter to me, like in writing in cursive, being a fast typist, having great response time/reflexes playing video games with a controller, and playing bass and guitar (and relearning some of my old tricks from my piano years to play synthesizer). But yeah, can’t do this coin rolling without looking like a clown lmao
@@ExperimentIV My son has autism and I remember early on the struggles with fine motor skills (he still can't tie his shoes, but then again, he and I both prefer Velcro and can avoid it). He has also honed some of his skills with video games and he learned at a very young age to play piano by ear and by watching videos. (Every once in a while, a song will come on the radio and he'll tell me they played the wrong note and can't understand how I didn't hear it.) He's in middle school now and when he puts his hoodie on, half the time he does it backwards. lol Have a great day.
grondhero your son sounds awesome! i find that video games really helped my fine motor skills and my reflex response time. i kind of learned how to tie my shoes by accident! there’s lots of really trendy sneakers he’ll be able to wear as an adult that use straps in lieu of laces, so he’ll look fresh as hell and nobody would guess it’s because he has trouble with laces, they’ll just think he’s into fashion. :)
What a great telling of a remarkable woman. As the father of three wonderful daughters, it did my heart good to learn about such a strong, courageous and talented woman who succeeded so well, so many years ago. Thanks for all you do HG!
My mother told me about this woman back in the 60s, as she was quite the independent minded woman herself. She drove a 1964 Chevy Turbocharged Corvair and enjoyed Rallye racing, which she did quite well at, winning or placing in all of the races she entered. I was the lucky kid who got to go w/ her as her navigator/map reader and I loved every minute and own my own '65 Corvair , as well. God bless all strong, independent women. RIP Mom.
The evolution of our coinage through the last 120+years is remarkable. When you get your gloved hands on a US Mint Proof Set or our newer Silver Proof Set's you will understand the beauty and great craftsmanship of coins in our country. My grandmother got me started collecting coins when I was around 8 years old. She had books and books of pre-1963 coins that were 90% silver. They were all beautiful and very well designed. I wish I would have inherited those coins. Because I do appreciate and love looking at them. I also enjoy both the Ben Franklin 50-cent coin and the Eisenhower dollar coin. Thanks Mr History Guy for doing this video!
Superb presentation, Lance. Thank you, as always, and welcome back. You have filled in many blanks on the life of this remarkable woman of whom we only briefly studied in high school American history. I have, in my small but treasured collection of coins and bills, along with a 1921 wheat sheaf penny (my mother's birth year) plus a few others, an 1893 silver dollar, a Franklin half, buffalo nickles, a couple silver certificates ("Pay to the bearer, on demand... ") a couple steel pennies in quite good condition. Just tangible reminders of long-gone times, but holding and studying them every once in a while always brings a smile. A hui hou... 🌴🌴
I thoroughly enjoyed this one history guy I always do I was watching the one on Cinco de Mayo when this notification popped up I watch them repeatedly when I'm depressed I can't seem to snap out of it
Living near Cheyenne for nearly 25 years and visiting the capitol grounds many times, I was well aware of Gov. Ross' place in Wyoming history and have many pictures of her statue there. But I was completely unaware of her contributions to the treasury and the mint. Thank you very much. What a fine lady!
Such a great story that many would have not known unless you brought it forward. Thanks so much for this and so many others. Please keep up the great work.
Okay, I know this is a bit late but I just remembered this. Going back to your video on asbestos, the actor Steve McQueen died from cancer caused by asbestos which he believed came from his time in the US Marines. He worked in a US naval shipyard stripping asbestos which had been used to lag pipes. I think he was only there for about two weeks.
Glad to see you are feeling better and making new videos! I can not wait for my 9 year old daughter to watch this one and know that nothing is outside her reach!!!
The Franklin half dollar..., and additionally the Peace dollar, is probably my favorite too. Great documentary... I never read into Governor Ross, interesting.
I enjoy all of the history lessons presented here. This episode was very interesting. I wonder if using her likeness on a coin has ever been considered. Even a postage stamp honoring her accomplishments would be appropriate. Living to be over 100 years old is a feat in itself. Have you considered doing a piece on the crash landing of United flight 232. It crashed in Sioux City Iowa on July 19, 1989. 111 people died but there were 184 that lived through that ordeal. I think your viewers might enjoy hearing that piece of history that "deserves to be remembered". I look forward to every one of your presentations. Thank You.
An other topic well done. I always appreciate history brought to the attention of the national eye that originated in the Mountain West. I’m a native of Colorado; lived in WY.; live in Montana currently. All your historical presentations are greatly appreciated tho. Love history and love the way you present it. Always informative and your enthusiasm and reverence, at times, is always stirring; wether to joy, chuckles, pensiveness, even sorrow. One of the best presenters I’ve witnessed over the years. Always happy to see your subscriber numbers on the rise. Keep up the good work HG.
One post script: I’m glad that you included her perspectives as a woman/mother as well. It was great that she strove to remain feminine in a generally masculine world. She refused to let it change her self perspective. It is a testament to her prowess to prosper and excelled in her field(s), and was masterful in her endeavors.
Just found your channel, and and it’s terrific. Perhaps you might consider a segment about 19th century writer Brett Harte and his experience in Humboldt County, Calif.; it was during the time of the Infamous Indian Island Massacre.
Your videos are a treat to watch and learn about some of the forgotten historical events. Great stuff! Have you ever thought of doing one on the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty?
I realy was not INTERESTED in the subject title and was going to skip this one but I then again thought I might be missing something and sure enough Mr. And Mrs. History guy came through with some GREAT history. Thanks for making history important, cause it is . Warm wishes to you both .
The United States Marine Corps is also known for it. See Victor Krulak's book First to Fight. Also an old joke is that that is the reason the Marines have it rough compared to others is that when the Air Force goes to build a base, they spend all the money on quarters and chow hall, then go back to Congress and ask for more money to finish the runways and hangars. The Marines do it backwards, spending the money on stuff for warfighting first, and then when they ask for money for a decent place to sleep, Congress says, "Fuck you. Live in tents."

Please please please please do a video on the USS Johnston during the battle of the Philippines. Her commanding officer, I believe Cmdr. Evans, turned to fight despite overwhelming odds time and time again. They fought on, until their ship was shot out from under them, and inflicted major damage. They quite possibly saved Taffy Three, numerous times. It is history that deserves to be remembered! =)
Very cool video. I actually just toured the Denver mint two weeks ago. So this just added to the already great information we learnt there. Thanks for making this video.
A very interesting story of a very accomplished woman. You have to wonder how different things would have been if she had appealed to the women's vote earlier and was reelected as the state Governor. How much more different the changes to the US Mint would have been.
Those steel pennies are worth a pretty penny if you can locate them. I have lots of old money, but none of these coins. Great story HG. Glad to see that you are well.
John Hobson Steel pennies from 1943 are fun to collect, but about 40 copper pennies from 1943 are the desired ones, they were made by mistake and are worth $200,000. and up.
In addition to copper, the mint had less silver to work with as well. The Treasury Department loaned the Manhattan Project 14,000 tons of silver, valued at $300 million, to be used in the machinery used to create the fissionable material for the first nuclear weapons. After the war the Treasury Dept. got back all but 4.9 tons, .035 of 1%, of it's silvr.
I knew Nellie Ross as the first female governor and knew FDR had made her head of the mint. What I didn't know was how long she served as director and her accomplishments. She was truly an amazing person. Now all we need is a story about Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor for 12 years and the force behind Social Security!
It appears as though a few medals have been struck with her likeness (one from the U.S. mint in 1933 and a less-flattering one from the State of Wyoming).
I prefer to put her on a US Stamp. Stamp collectors prefer historical figures instead of some of the photogenic popular non historical topics they are using today. Presently, Most of the stuff chosen is popular garbage. Stamps like coins show what we are all about by choosing the important and significant Americans.
Hey History Guy, love your channel. Some things I know, some things I remember when you put out a video, most things you present I didn’t know and am happy to learn. So, I have a question. How unique is the government of the US? I know republics, such as ours, aren’t commonplace so as we approach the 232 anniversary of our constitution, this June, how unique are we?
We Australians love skiing in Colorado. My wife and I really enjoyed our tour of the Denver mint. I look forward to a tour of Jeep in Toledo. Is there any skiing in Toledo?
This proves that a woman is as capable as a man. I grew up watching my mother carry water from the windmill to heat for dish, and bath water. She also canned all of our fruits, and vegetables, and stored them in the cellar. My father was a WWll vet. , and like many didn't finish high school. My older sister, brother, and myself were in the fields as soon as we could hold a hoe. My mother, who worked constantly, would help out in the peanut fields after digging the peanuts, and during thrashing. I learned to respect my mother, and when my wife, and I got married I told her their were no woman's chores. We both worked out of the home so we have always shared the household chores. After 45yrs. of marriage this still works out well. Unfortunately my father was raised to believe all household work was women's, and they should stay in the house. While I believe there are some jobs not suitable for women, just as there are for men, I believe a woman is as capable as a man, and should be treated equally, and paid the same. After being criticality injured 34yrs. ago I will say that I find the women doctors I have gone to have been a lot more nurturing, and a lot more attentive to your problems.
Well said. I believe the generations coming of age now are on that level of thinking And in the not to distant future We will see equality come into play and see the results of a better society and become all the better for it
As always you make the world smarter! ☺☺☺ I would love see some episode in the future about all Swedish inventions that's spread all over the world. Or the history of the Cadillac Hydra-matic transmission. Thanks. ☺☺☺
@@danielfronc4304 I spent quite a while locked up in an art school surrounded by budding femanists who held her up as a bit of a hero/ heroine (not sure which of those terms is acceptable these days). I don't think the average Australian on the streets whould recognized the name.
I must say that yet again THG has presented another story that while it may seem obscure has had a lasting impression on society to this day.BTW I wish I would have hung onto a few of those" awful" steel pennies!
Outstanding video! The mountain west in that era was very populist/progressive. Here in Montana, we had just elected the first woman to Congress a few years before.
THG. I like the new soft outro. I would put your brand more on center in the screen during the fade in/out and maybe some soft music. I would encourage you on how CBS Sunday Morning does their outro...it would be very on brand for your channel
Certainly a woman who deserves to be remembered and honored more in history Let’s hope that the education we have learned here inspires further review of Nellie Ross as someone who deserves to be remembered by more Americans
Hi Ms and Mr History Guy(s): You have provided many examples of Women whose 'History Deserves to Be Remembered' and they have been purely enjoyed, illuminating and sometimes shocking. And so, may I ask a favor, could you provide a list of your videos of 'Women whose History Deserves to Be Remembered'? In my working days I worked as a Petroleum Geologist, but consider myself trained as a 'scientist' and have marveled at the historic march to greater understanding in the sciences (science history buff). But, a huge blemish on this history has been the treatment of Women scientists many who had made key discoveries, observation and measurements, and provided calculations, explanations and theories that where brushed aside. You have chronicled many. I believe this list would be of interest. With Much Appreciation, Mark Beeunas **************************************
My grandmother used to tell me stories about this lady. And modeled herself after her. She always told those who listen what a great role model she was. How she could manage the mint better than a man and still be a lady.
I wish my grandmother could have seen this video. Another piece of history mostly forgotten. Besides my grandmother, I only heard about her a couple of times. A quick mention here and there over the years. But grandma made sure I knew who she was.
Nellie Taylor Ross is, arguably in fact, the second woman Governor of a US State. From 1718 -- at the death of her husband, William Penn -- she became the owner of Pennsylvania (and effectively it's Governor) until her death in 1726. Penn had been granted what is now Pennsylvania by the King in order to nullify a debt to his deceased father, Admiral Penn, which amounted to the then enormous sum of £16,000 (which he was entirely unable to repay). This grant of land had made Penn the largest non-royal landowner anywhere in the world; and he set up what he termed the "Holy Experiment", encouraging fellow-Quakers and other European religious dissenters to emigrate there. He had spent some time in Germany prior to this and one of the consequences was a considerable influx of German nonconformists: in effect setting the scene for 'Pennsylvania Dutch' (actually a misnomer for 'Deutsch' since they were German) and such sects still extant in the state such as the Amish and Mennonites. So give Hannah her due! She was also a more effective administrator Governor than her late husband, for all his good intentions.
You manage to turn a rather pedestrian story into a fascinating insight on American history. As usual, terrific!
history is never pedestrian, simply misjudged in its significance ive found.
It's nice to see a gentleman of your calibre unravelling fairly unknown chapters of history. Well done. Thank you.
“Women had had the vote for only four years.”
That was true in some states in 1924, but not in Wyoming. The Wyoming Territorial Legislature extended voting rights to women in 1869. In 1890, Wyoming refused to accept statehood when it was conditioned on rescinding women’s suffrage. It finally entered the Union as the first state where women voted. That’s why Wyoming is sometimes called “The Suffrage State.”

In college, he'd teach the courses everyone wanted to take. Register early, so you're not shut out.

At the mint FDR made her boss

The steel penny was the one I wanted most in my childhood penny collection, but it eluded me.
these days you can get an entire roll for 15 bucks on ebay.
DontTouchMe Try and find a 1943 copper penny. Only 40 were made that year.
A very interesting story of a very accomplished woman. You have to wonder how different things would have been if she had appealed to the women's vote earlier and was reelected as the state Governor. How much more different the changes to the US Mint would have been.
I love all your videos. I wish you would do one about my hometown, Oak Ridge TN... "The Secret City."
She's buried at Lakeview Cemetery in Cheyenne, (a couple of miles from my house) if you happen to visit.
She wasn't into 'Identity Politics' like far too many are today. They all say, "Vote for me, I am____." They fill the blank with the cause of the day.
"Identity politics" is a term made up by the right wing to divide and isolate us. To unite us together, the correct term is "civil rights."
That's wonderful!
Good on her for being a capable and thoughtful political figure. I ought to read more about her.
Thank you!

You sound much better Lance. Welcome back!
Excellent job. I wonder if these episodes are shown in schools.
Facinating. Thank you.
I knew Nellie Ross as the first female governor and knew FDR had made her head of the mint. What I didn't know was how long she served as director and her accomplishments. She was truly an amazing person. Now all we need is a story about Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor for 12 years and the force behind Social Security!
Hooray for Nellie ! perhaps the mint will strike a coin in her honor one day?
It appears as though a few medals have been struck with her likeness (one from the U.S. mint in 1933 and a less-flattering one from the State of Wyoming).
I prefer to put her on a US Stamp. Stamp collectors prefer historical figures instead of some of the photogenic popular non historical topics they are using today. Presently, Most of the stuff chosen is popular garbage. Stamps like coins show what we are all about by choosing the important and significant Americans.
If they did,a penny or a dime for her thoughts about it.😃
You make my brain so full. But where are the pirates?
Hey History Guy, love your channel. Some things I know, some things I remember when you put out a video, most things you present I didn’t know and am happy to learn. So, I have a question. How unique is the government of the US? I know republics, such as ours, aren’t commonplace so as we approach the 232 anniversary of our constitution, this June, how unique are we?
She paved the way for the next female director, Eva Adams . She also would make a great story as well, She helped popularize coin collecting.
Glad you appear to be feeling better. A story well told about a fascinating woman. Thumbs up to crush a troll.
Wyoming also had the first woman Justice of the Peace. He name was Esther Hobart Morris.
Her name. It was me or spell check.
We Australians love skiing in Colorado. My wife and I really enjoyed our tour of the Denver mint.
I look forward to a tour of Jeep in Toledo. Is there any skiing in Toledo?
Could you do a segment on the GERDA III: DANISH LIGHTHOUSE TENDER and other ships like this?
This proves that a woman is as capable as a man. I grew up watching my mother carry water from the windmill to heat for dish, and bath water. She also canned all of our fruits, and vegetables, and stored them in the cellar. My father was a WWll vet. , and like many didn't finish high school. My older sister, brother, and myself were in the fields as soon as we could hold a hoe. My mother, who worked constantly, would help out in the peanut fields after digging the peanuts, and during thrashing. I learned to respect my mother, and when my wife, and I got married I told her their were no woman's chores. We both worked out of the home so we have always shared the household chores. After 45yrs. of marriage this still works out well. Unfortunately my father was raised to believe all household work was women's, and they should stay in the house. While I believe there are some jobs not suitable for women, just as there are for men, I believe a woman is as capable as a man, and should be treated equally, and paid the same. After being criticality injured 34yrs. ago I will say that I find the women doctors I have gone to have been a lot more nurturing, and a lot more attentive to your problems.
Well said. I believe the generations coming of age now are on that level of thinking And in the not to distant future We will see equality come into play and see the results of a better society and become all the better for it
Do Clement Atlee who ran Britain during WWII while Churchill ran the war. There's history that needs to be remembered.
I have three 1943 steelies. Not the most valuable I have but certainly the most fun of my Lincoln Head cents. Thanks!
Surrounded herself with excellent folks and had a vision...that was part of her skill to get all that stuff done
As always you make the world smarter! ☺☺☺ I would love see some episode in the future about all Swedish inventions that's spread all over the world. Or the history of the Cadillac Hydra-matic transmission. Thanks. ☺☺☺
Thank you
As an Australian even I had heard her name as an early US woman politician, but I had no idea of her true accomplishments.
Gee, I'm a longtime student of history and a U.S. citizen and never learned about her. That's embarrassing.
@@danielfronc4304 I spent quite a while locked up in an art school surrounded by budding femanists who held her up as a bit of a hero/ heroine (not sure which of those terms is acceptable these days).
I don't think the average Australian on the streets whould recognized the name.
My hat’s off to this amazing woman!
I must say that yet again THG has presented another story that while it may seem obscure has had a lasting impression on society to this day.BTW I wish I would have hung onto a few of those" awful" steel pennies!
Outstanding video! The mountain west in that era was very populist/progressive. Here in Montana, we had just elected the first woman to Congress a few years before.
the Benjamin is one of my favorite coins also.. this was amazing history.. thanks as always for your amazing stories..
THG. I like the new soft outro. I would put your brand more on center in the screen during the fade in/out and maybe some soft music. I would encourage you on how CBS Sunday Morning does their outro...it would be very on brand for your channel
Certainly a woman who deserves to be remembered and honored more in history Let’s hope that the education we have learned here inspires further review of Nellie Ross as someone who deserves to be remembered by more Americans
Facinating....sounds like a script for a great movie...
Hi Ms and Mr History Guy(s):
You have provided many examples of Women whose 'History Deserves to Be Remembered' and they have been purely enjoyed, illuminating and sometimes shocking. And so, may I ask a favor, could you provide a list of your videos of 'Women whose History Deserves to Be Remembered'? In my working days I worked as a Petroleum Geologist, but consider myself trained as a 'scientist' and have marveled at the historic march to greater understanding in the sciences (science history buff). But, a huge blemish on this history has been the treatment of Women scientists many who had made key discoveries, observation and measurements, and provided calculations, explanations and theories that where brushed aside. You have chronicled many.
I believe this list would be of interest.
With Much Appreciation,
Mark Beeunas

I enjoy your work. Do you have anything on Gibraltar?
My grandmother used to tell me stories about this lady. And modeled herself after her. She always told those who listen what a great role model she was. How she could manage the mint better than a man and still be a lady.
I wish my grandmother could have seen this video. Another piece of history mostly forgotten. Besides my grandmother, I only heard about her a couple of times. A quick mention here and there over the years. But grandma made sure I knew who she was.
Nellie Taylor Ross is, arguably in fact, the second woman Governor of a US State.
From 1718 -- at the death of her husband, William Penn -- she became the owner of Pennsylvania (and effectively it's Governor) until her death in 1726.
Penn had been granted what is now Pennsylvania by the King in order to nullify a debt to his deceased father, Admiral Penn, which amounted to the then enormous sum of £16,000 (which he was entirely unable to repay).
This grant of land had made Penn the largest non-royal landowner anywhere in the world; and he set up what he termed the "Holy Experiment", encouraging fellow-Quakers and other European religious dissenters to emigrate there.
He had spent some time in Germany prior to this and one of the consequences was a considerable influx of German nonconformists: in effect setting the scene for 'Pennsylvania Dutch' (actually a misnomer for 'Deutsch' since they were German) and such sects still extant in the state such as the Amish and Mennonites.
So give Hannah her due! She was also a more effective administrator Governor than her late husband, for all his good intentions.
Very good video as usual 👌
Nellie on the $20 bill, anyone? Great story HG!
