Interesting as usual. But I have a question that I have never found an answer to. I've studied a lot of land grant maps in regards to research I am doing in my area of a 1790's settlement. How did the actual purchase of the land work out? Did they go and pick spots on a map...etc? And how did they actually find their land without having a surveyor along with them? How did they know it was their spot?

Looking forward to the next episode!

Very informative, loving the series so far!

Fantastic series so far! I’m learning so much. My ancestors were the Bells, who were supposed to have been the earliest Scots-Irish settlers along Chartiers Creek in what’s now Carnegie. And my family and I live within walking distance of Robinson Run to this day.

Another Good one!

Another Good one!

Congratulations on preserving the site for posterity, and an interesting talk. I was curious as to the downplaying of the role of the 42nd Royal Highlanders, being dismissed as 'done,' when they provided the main element in Bouquet's force and bore the brunt of the fighting suffering most of the casualties- 29 killed and 36 wounded. Bouquet later wrote "their behavior on that obstinat affair does them the highest honor." Presumably that is why a Highlander is represented on the monument. Tradition has exagerated the role of the Royal Americans at Bushy Run. Bouquet recorded only 16 men of the 60th present, although 7 were killed (the Grenadier company mentioned was from the 42nd.

The observation that British troops in this period did not adapt to bushfighting techniques is overstated, to say the least. After the Braddock disaster, lessons were learned. Notably under George, Lord Howe, troops adapted their uniforms and their tactics to fighting on the frontier, both in line battalions and units of light infantry specially formed for the French-Indian campaigns. One legacy of the war was the 60th Royal American Regiment.

Your channel is so damn good- just history and facts that are so fascinating

John elder is in my mothers line

Hi everyone! Quick note: Ewing’s Mill is located on Hassam Road, not Ewing’s Mill Road. Thanks!

Great video, looking forward to the rest of the series! Do you have any links to that land warrant map? I live just north of where the map in the video cuts off. I'd love to know a little more history of the early land owners

Very interesting videos so far about Robinson Run. I just love this type of history. Thanks for doing all the research. 😊

My family, the Smith's lived in this area. My great grandfather was James Smith born to Martha and Powell Smith. I believe they were related to the Phillips and the Atens as well. James Smith married Bertha Gould who I believe also had ties to a Revolutionary Lt. Col Abraham Gould in New England.

This is certainly interesting. Growing up in the West Hills i always wanted to know more about the settlers and Robinson Run as it seems to snake its way through the area. I now pastor a church next to the Robinson Run Cemetery on Robinson Run Rd, so naturally this is going to be great to follow along!

Beautiful

Incredible- Brady something needs to be done about the fort Allen well, deserves much more respect and reverence than to be abandoned in a parking lot

Brady please keep doing Nepa stuff - happy to connect ya w some historical societies if you need an intro

The Wilkes Barre bar was established by Yankee lawyers, in fact one of these lawyers was nominated to the US Supreme Court, but was not confirmed by the Senate. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Woodward

Fantastic

MEVEYs are our family. From cecil md and same family as Wash County McVays. Currently looking insight as to why they left Cecil for McDonald. Post-1781.. also the name-change is intriguing. Looking forward to learning more about this area!

I can understand completely when doing research like this how families like them come back to life in a way that some just don't understand.

Can't wait to goon this journey....interesting concept.

I've been impressed with Col. Whelen ever since I discovered the 35 Whelen a dozen or more years ago. Thanks for the video, I don't find much content on him out there and appreciate it. I've recently started my own videos on the equipment in this book myself. Keep up the great content!

I recently learned my 4x great grandfather, Anderson Dana, was killed in this battle. It sounds truly awful.

Indentured is the correct term. Two thirds of all colonial settlers were indentured.

Pretty sure my great grandmother died during this massacre while fleeing with my paternal grandfathers (husband and son). Interested what other records you might have on this.

The reach in tri cities Washington

People today don't understand the lack of opportunities back in Europe, that drove these kinds of people to take such hardships to actually own their land. Native Americans, crossing the mountains, and clearly heavily forested land, but you could call it yours.

Thank you so much. I've always wanted to see this area. Where is the little model of the camp at? Cant recall. Ive been to Greenville but dont think it was there.

Very informative. I have visited Jumonville Glen and Ft. Nessitity and is an easy day trip!

My dear Professor Sommer. We here in the city that's home to both Fort Pitt & Fort Duquesne and have numerous edifaces named after the man pronounce his name "Forbz" not, as you've done here.."Forbez". We have Forbes Avenue, Forbes Apartments, Pitts dorms Forbes Towers, Pitts Forbes Quadrangle, UPMC's Forbes nursing facility and we even named a ballyard after him....Forbes Field (one of the hardest HR parks ever)......for us "Yinzers" to pronounce it your way would be tantamount to forcing us to call our city "Pittsborough" insted of Pittsburgh....with the "h" I might add.....'n 'at. 😅

This sounds very interesting. It reminds me of James Mitschner's longer novels. They revolved around a few individuals and their descendants, followed through the decades and how the world evolved around them.

Looking forward to this project!

Can’t wait

One of the most audacious raids in American military history. Well done, cousin George.

How many peaceful farming families were slaughtered by the peaceful warriors of Native Americans?????? Why don't you tell their stories???? Why do you have to be so biased???

Brady. You conspicuously left out John Holcroft (Tom the Tinker). His grave is there. I have pictures. All of these dead fighters were like a lot of people both today and down through history---THEY JUST WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE.

Thanks for presenting this less known part of 🇺🇲 history.

Love these videos, thanks for doing them.

You're not too far from the Legion Ville encampment site.

Thank you for this informative interview, I am just now learning about these riots; they’re fascinating and your knowledge helps me understand them

I guarantee that's not what George Washington saw he's a thick forest and very little fields

I'm very happy to see you so active recently on RUclips. It certainly has its faults, but there isn't a better platform for teaching history to the masses. Keep up the great work!

I always thought it had a lot to do with the they had very little money, but used a barter system of trade instead of money. If the government would have taken the whiskey and sold it, it would have been peaceful.

In my opinion, the rebels were the guys who met in Philadelphia and set up the federal government for themselves and their friends. The guys who fought in the Rev. war did not fight for what was born in Philadelphia. If anything they fought for the Articles of Confederation. I am a fan of the Anti Federalists, they got it right. Notice how the counter coup plotters of Philadelphia did not come up with the Bill of Rights, the Anti Federalists are to be thanked for that. The mess we see in Washington DC today, is the fruit of the counter coup in Philadelphia. The Federal government is behaving exactly how it was set up. The good folks in that cemetery did not fight for that. Hooray to those good men!
