Episode 5 of Brandon Seale's podcast on the Engines of Texas History.From "terraqueous machines" (??) to air conditioning prototypes to "condensed milk," Gail Borden was nineteenth century Texas's most prolific inventor. And yet he may owe the inspiration for his most successful inventions to a form of Comanche "superfood," developed with a uniquely Texan appreciation of the power of energy density.Cover art by David Moore, courtesy of IllustrationOnline.comSources:Frantz, Joe B.
