The Bookworm ‘Poison’ Is A Royal Treat “The Royal Art of Poison” by Eleanor Herman; © 2018, St. Martin’s Press; 286 pages ——— BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER It must’ve been the salad. You had three helpings of Aunt Rudy’s famous family reunion contribution and it sure tasted good. Until later that night and then … not so good for the rest of the weekend and into Monday. It must’ve been the salad because, as in “The Royal Art of Poison” by Eleanor Herman, you spent awhile on the throne. Young Gabrielle d’Estrées wasn’t quite so lucky, though. She was the mistress of King Henri IV of France, but her love of the King and his people made him want to marry her after she helped him attain shaky calm between Catholics and Protestants in 1598. Alas, 36 hours before the nuptials, Gabrielle suffered a “dreadful” death. Rumors flew that an enemy poisoned her — but was it true? Good question. Throughout history, especially in Medieval and Renaissance times, royalty and royalty-to-be often had abundant reason to be fearful of poison in their food and drink. Jealousy was common. Enemies could be anywhere and, to avoid big problems, most monarchs employed a taster or, in the case of Louis XIV, 324 of them. That didn’t help much, says Herman, because nasty substances weren’t just used to steal a crown. Lead was found in cosmetics then; sulfur was used to powder wigs; and mercury and arsenic, along with human remains, were prescribed as medicine. Urine was used by the clothing industry. Bloodletting was employed to reset “humors.” Rooster dung was given to induce vomiting (duh!), and even the air that the average person breathed could be poisonous. Long live the King. While today’s knowledge can correct historical inaccuracies and determine that a real culprit was illness or disease, early physicians surely tried to determine what happened when monarch or mistress Arens Receives New YAA Scholarship Yankton Area Arts should be to help increase (YAA) is announcing the the number of Yankton launch of a new annual teachers attending this arts scholarship to help seminar or seminars like make arts education more it.

Employers routinely answer that one of the top skills they look for when hiring is creative problem solving, and the arts help teach that.” The scholarship is not exclusive to individuals already trained as fine art teachers. “The more teachers who are trained at incorporating art instruction into their classrooms, the better, regardless of the subject they’re teaching,” said Mannes Homstad. Amsberry called the new scholarship a great “next step” for the 43-year old organization and said it will complement their existing programming for children, which includes summer programs, Kids Art Fest, and Art Adventure, which was started in 2013. “Art instruction in our schools is vital, and Tyler Reiser vermillionpubliclibrary.org. 3 mysteriously perished. Postmortems were sometimes done out of curiosity but more often were performed to settle any debate as to a cause of death and, though rudimentary (by our standards), an autopsy saved kingdoms and lineages. They also saved lives: many a cook breathed easier when poison-as-murder was disproven, and many physicians were surely equally relieved. So you think, with all those names and dates, that history can be stuffy? Not so much when murder is afoot and “The Royal Art of Poison” is in your hands. But this book isn’t all about murder — or history, for that matter. Author Eleanor Herman spends a good amount of time telling about Royal as well as everyday lives and how people lived in the 14th through 18th centuries. She then explains how we know what we know now, and why the heyday of poison, if you will, ended. Or did it? Current events tell us otherwise, and Herman writes about a modern-day leader who’s reached back into history to employ tasters in his kitchen. Be aware that this book is filled with blood and guts and other unsavory things, so it’s not for the squeamish. Curious folks will love it, though, and European history lovers won’t want to pass on “The Royal Art of Poison.” The salad, though. That’s another matter. © 2008 KrazyDad.com New! ie st Lwk Ju e !

Margot Perfoms At AME Chapel July 26 The Little White Church Sessions at the AME Allen Chapel, 508 Cedar Street, Yankton, presents “An Evening with Margot,” an Americana rock band from Minneapolis led by Yankton native Hunter Baugh, on Thursday, July 26. Showtime is at 7 p.m. Lyrically, their songs harken back to the socially conscious folk music of the ‘60s and ‘70s, while their sound is a rock ‘n rollinfused Americana that’s just as likely to burst into wild three-part harmony as it is to wind down to somber acoustic performances. This will be an evening of storytelling and music as the band performs songs from both of their 2018 releases in an acoustic setting. This will be run as a house concert, so you are asked to give what you can as all proceeds go to the artists. Refreshments will be available.
