Sketches in History | Men of Steel and Oil

Sketches in History | Men of Steel and Oil

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story, it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!

In this episode, Lottie finds a telegram on her grandfather's desk, its edges yellowed and its paper thin and crinkly, printed in faded capital letters with a single sentence: the most powerful company in American history has just been ordered to stop existing. In this episode, your kids will discover what it looks like when one person controls nearly all of an industry, why the people who build enormous things aren't always the ones who carry the cost, and whether giving away a fortune can balance out how it was made.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
