I have always had "a thing" for the Maytag engines. I would love to have the entire setup.

Those little engines really are something, and they did about everything.


I remember my Grandmother had a washer like that on the back porch. Don't remember if is was gas powered or not.

Didn't those machines come out just about the time women were given the right to vote? Coincidence?
 
...or the spatula...or the infamous "switch from the tree out back." My mom could use either like Da Vinci used a brush.

The ultimate humiliation was when the condemned had to cut his own "switch." Even worse was the admonition of, "you better cut a good one cause if you don't, I'll get one that's going to hurt twice as bad."

I'm just glad that I didn't grow up in Africa where they use sjamboks.

Women get the right to vote in 1920, Blacks in 1870 and the american indian in 1924.

A while back I did a deep dive on the american indian learned quite a bit, I can't get my head around how blacks get by with being the "most persecuted" BS in the US.
 
My mother could make a hell of a welt on the back of our thighs with one of her flip-flops.... in about .3 seconds and before you even heard the sound of it hitting you.
My mom wasn’t afraid to beat your azz but her finest method of getting your attention was to pinch your thigh.

I have been in church and had the thigh move done on me and it was exquisite in its effectiveness. You better not cry out or whine either…just had to take it because if you embarrassed her it was gonna get bad once you were taken to the bathroom 😂

I still have bruises.

Sand Creek ring a bell?

Go check out the museum below the Crazy Horse Monument. Worth a whole day. Lots of stories.

Yes it does. Amazing this stuff is not more well known. You want to talk about an ultimate screw job, even by standards of that day.

Personally I don't judge people or activities of the past by current "moral" standards. But there are some things that even back then people said...ahh hold on a sec, that is not cool.

I put up in the book thread the few books I read when that itch to learn more in this area needed to be scratched.
