Ted LinhartNARRATOR
April 18th.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
Between Wheeling and Marietta there is little worthy of the traveler's attention except the mounds and fortifications on Mr. Tomlinson's farm at Grave Creek.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
The Big Grave, as it is called, is about a quarter of a mile from Mr. Tomlinson's house in a southwesterly direction.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
It is a circular mound, 68 feet high and 55 feet in diameter at the summit.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
The Long Reach, where the Ohio pursues a direct course for 17 miles, may also be noticed in this place as presenting a remarkable exception to the general character of this river.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
19th.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
Marietta is beautifully situated at the mouth of the Muskingum River and has an appearance of neatness and regularity which is not usual in the villages of the country.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
Shipbuilding was carried on here to some extent several years ago and great expectations were formed as to the future commercial importance of the town, which have as yet been but partially realized.
Katie McDanielHOST
On today's episode, we are talking with Bea Groves about Keats and Harry Potter.
Katie McDanielHOST
I'm Katie McDaniel, professor of history at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio, co-editor of Harry Potter for Nerds 2, and co-editor with Emily Strand of Potterversity, Essays Exploring the World of Harry Potter.
Emily StrandHOST
And I am Emily Strand, director of campus ministry and liturgical music at Ohio Dominican University, and Katie's collaborator, conspirator, partner in crime... on that book she mentioned and some other stuff too.
Emily StrandHOST
That's right.
Evan LindmanHOST
And so we got on the road kind of late that Friday afternoon, drove about.
Evan LindmanHOST
Almost six hours, and we ended up in Marietta, Ohio, which is just on the border between Ohio and West Virginia, Charleston, West Virginia area.
Evan LindmanHOST
And the Ohio drive, guys, is easy, but then you get into the dreaded state of West Virginia.
Evan LindmanHOST
And that's fun.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
He declared that they knew the number of cars that he shipped and the place to which they went, and that it was their habit to send salesmen after every shipment.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
Mrs. G.C. Butts, a daughter of George Rice, an independent refiner of Marietta, Ohio, told the Ohio Senate Committee which investigated trusts in 1898 that a railroad agent of their town had notified them that he had been approached by a Standard representative who asked him for a full report of all independent shipments, to whom and where going.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
The agent refused, but, said Mrs. Butts, we found out later that someone was giving them this information and that it was being given right from our own works.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
A party writing us from the Waters Pierce office wrote that we had no idea of the network of detectives, generally railroad agents, that his company kept, and that everything that we or our agent said or did was reported back to the managers through a regular network of detectives who were agents of the railroads and oil company as well.
9 MINS LATER
Tom WeissNARRATOR
One of the most aggressive of these campaigns waged at the beginning of this war of exterminating independent dealers was by the Standard marketing agent at Louisville, Kentucky, Chess Carley and Company.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
This concern claimed a large section of the South as its territory.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
George Rice of Marietta, Ohio, had been in this field for eight or ten years, having many regular customers.
Tom WeissNARRATOR
It became Chess Carley and Company's business to secure these customers and to prevent his getting others.

13 MINS LATER
MandyGUEST
So I got as much detail as I could out of him.
MandyGUEST
And then when he described this thing, though, I'm like, well, can we just loop back around? Because we can't sit here in the middle of the road forever.
MandyGUEST
Granted, Marietta being the small town that it is, shuts down pretty early.
MandyGUEST
So there was... pretty much no traffic around, but obviously you can't sit parked in the middle of the road for all night.
