Homeschool teachers you will love this video! Excellent quality, in-depth, but not boring. Very good visuals to keep students engaged. Doesn't go on and on unnecessarily. Thank you!

Very nice video, a tribute to a great man and to the founders of Whittier. So many of the street names are founders or related to Pennsylvania.

Why did they either move the barefoot boy or redo the place where he sits? It used to be enclosed in trees & bushes. Like an enchanted little glade in the middle of the city. So sad that they changed it. That spot was beautiful.

I'm related to this man.

John Greenleaf Whittier's younger brother, Mathew Franklin Whittier, was a talented author in his own right, but published anonymously. For this reason, he is only historically known as the author of one satirical anti-slavery series featuring "Ethan Spike." I have posted a paper entitled "An Overview of the True Literary Legacy of Mathew Franklin Whittier," which is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by searching on the title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/Overview.pdf

Super educational video quality and information. Love it!

I do not understand why this video has so few visits? Because the information is pure ground gold!

He is a ancestor of mine

Read more about Whittier and his poem, "Barbara Frietchie," in the book released in June 2020. "The Mystery of Barbara Fritchie a True Patriot," can be ordered at www.tamarathayerbooks.org

nice

I lived on Greenleaf ave!

I am not 100% certain of it, but I believe I may be related to John Greenleaf Whittier on my father's side of the family...I overheard my grandfather mention his name upon his return from a visit to his family in Portland, Maine...he brought the family tree back with him but I didnt get to see it, being very young . The way I found out about the abolitionist association is rather eerie and strange and too much to say here...but Time has endeared me to the poet with whom I feel I share more in common than any person I know, except my maternal grandfather; he also is deceased and someone I never met!

For a city that cares about it's own history so much why did they remove the original two cemeterys in uptown where it's first citizens were laid to rest and all of the headstones were left in a pile behind the whittier museum for years.
