1:41

2009, Mitrice Richardson was released from

1:43

the Malibu Lost Hill Sheriff Station,

1:45

and she never made it home.

1:48

Nearly a year later, Mitrice's remains

1:50

were found in a canyon six

1:53

miles from the station. Her death

1:55

is Malibu's greatest unsolved mystery. I'm

1:58

Dana Goodyear in Lost Hills. By

4:00

1886, Catherine had returned

4:02

to her alma mater as an instructor. That's

4:05

where she met another Catherine, Catherine

4:08

Komen, a professor and social

4:10

reformer. This

4:13

relationship deeply influenced Catherine Bates,

4:15

who started developing social reformist

4:17

ideals of her own. The

4:20

two eventually grew closer and moved in

4:22

together. They were active in the settlement

4:24

house movement. And later,

4:27

they co-founded a woman-run settlement house

4:29

in Boston called the Denison House.

4:32

All the while, Catherine was writing poetry

4:34

and fiction. In 1889,

4:37

she published the poem Goodie Santa Claus

4:39

on a Slay Ride. In

4:41

it, Mrs. Claus is portrayed as

4:43

the lead organizer of Christmas Eve.

4:46

Mrs. Claus had appeared as a character

4:49

in other literary works, but Catherine

4:51

was the first to give her such a

4:53

prominent role. That same year,

4:55

Catherine received a prize for another one of

4:57

her works, a young adult

4:59

novel called Rose and Thorn. The

5:02

characters in the novel included poor

5:05

and working-class women and reflected her

5:07

beliefs as a social reformer. Catherine

5:10

cashed in her prize money to study at

5:12

Oxford University for a year. When

5:15

she returned to Wellesley, she received her

5:17

master's degree and she was promoted to

5:19

a full professor of English literature. In

5:22

1893, Catherine went away on another trip

5:24

that would bring big changes to her

5:26

life. She boarded a train

5:29

and headed west to teach for the summer

5:31

in Colorado. On

5:33

the way, she stopped at Niagara Falls, in

5:35

Chicago to see the World's Fair. Catherine

5:38

spent a lovely summer teaching in

5:40

Colorado. After the

5:42

program came to a close, she and her

5:45

fellow teachers went on a climbing expedition. At

5:48

the base of Pike's Peak, they loaded up

5:50

the horse-drawn wagons and mules for their trek

5:53

up to the top, a climb of

5:55

more than 14,000 feet. The

5:58

ascent was narrow and rocky. and

6:00

making it to the top was no small feat.

6:03

As they climbed, the air grew thinner, the

6:06

trees a thicker canopy. Once

6:09

she arrived at the summit, Catherine grounded her

6:11

feet in the dirt and looked out onto

6:13

the mountainous landscape. The strong

6:16

winds at the peak came rushing with

6:18

inspiration. To Catherine,

6:20

it was like a gateway to heaven. Ample

6:23

skies above and sea of fertile land

6:25

below, the mountains glowing

6:27

purple. That

6:30

night in her lodgings, Catherine put pen

6:32

to paper and created her most remembered

6:34

work, America

6:37

the Beautiful, a

6:39

poem that would be adapted into

6:41

a song and regarded as one

6:43

of America's proudest expressions of patriotism.

6:46

The National Hymn carries an aspirational

6:48

tone throughout, asking if

6:50

America can live up to its ideals. America

6:54

the Beautiful was first published on July 4th,

6:56

1895. Two

7:00

years after Catherine witnessed the view

7:02

at Pike's Peak. The

7:04

poem turned anthem gained major attention and

7:07

within two decades it had been distributed

7:09

throughout the United States. One

7:12

could find it in church hymnals,

7:14

Sunday school song books, prayer manuals,

7:17

and anthologies. Catherine didn't

7:19

expect the poem to have such a

7:21

holdover people, but later

7:23

she attributed it to, quote, the

7:27

fact that Americans are at heart

7:29

idealist with a fundamental faith in

7:31

human brotherhood. In

7:34

1915, after 25 years of living, traveling,

7:38

and working together, Catherine's

7:40

companion, Catherine Komen died of

7:42

breast cancer. Some

7:45

refer to their relationship as a romantic one,

7:47

though no one knows for sure. There

7:49

are only a few surviving letters between the two of

7:52

them. The letters depict

7:54

the deep love and central role their

7:56

relationship played in Catherine Bates's life. In

7:59

one, she wrote, wrote, you are always

8:01

in my heart and in my longings. It

8:04

was the living away from you that

8:06

made at first the prospect of leaving

8:08

Wellesley so heart achy. And

8:11

it seemed least of all possible when

8:13

I had just found the long desired

8:15

way to your dearest heart. After

8:18

Catherine Coman passed, Catherine Bates began

8:21

writing Yellow Clover, a book of

8:23

remembrance, which contained a series of

8:26

love poems memorializing their intimate relationship.

8:29

In 1915, Catherine helped found the New

8:32

England Poetry Club. She

8:34

continued working in social reform for the rest

8:36

of her life. The

8:39

prolific writer retired from Wellesley in 1925,

8:42

and in 1929, she passed away. All

11:22

there, I'm Dr. Maya Schunker, and I'm

11:24

a scientist who studies human behavior. Many

11:33

an after. On my podcast, A Slight

11:35

Change of Plans, I talk to people

how we can be more resilient in

11:46

the face of change. Listen on the
