Deep reading is an act of radical self assertion. Love it!

I came here after listening to Ken Burns talk about him and it. What an inspiring talk! I'm going to try his morning reading project.

I also randomly bought this book. I feel some of the reason the grandchildren of holocaust survivors are more “able” to research their family history is due to fall of the Soviet occupation. The Soviet occupation that was going on during the holocaust survivors Children’s lives would have make it difficult or even impossible to travel to Soviet occupied countries. Also, to be able to have access to documents and information within those countries would have been so difficult if not impossible. The resources are better now. Beautiful book…amazing family history!

Phineas Runyon is my guy

Great video! This guy seems like a real pro.

Where was Simon Girty on August 11, 1764? A Mennonite minister, his wife, and 6 of their children were slaughtered at their farm in the Page County Shenandoah Valley of Luray, Virginia. He had lived there peaceably for 35 years. A group of native Americans led by a white man was raiding and looting the homes of people they thought had valuables and money. It was rumored the group responsible was led by Simon Girty. Has anyone in researching this frontiersman found evidence to disprove this information? In reading The Frontiersman I was in awe of this man and his contemporaries like Simon Kenton but I found out in doing my genealogy about this massacre and would like to clarify this.

Which 3relatives have SHOA interviews😊

My Grandpa Marion franklin kirk died there in 1943.

Those were hard men. A note for those watching this, the gentleman mentioned tallow and that he didn't know what they used it for. Tallow is one of the most important and versatile products of the time period. If not sure what it's used for then research it.

I have a lot of old letters from James Wilkinson if you want to see them .

Amazing most Americans are unaware of this, great job!

Interesting content and great photos, but someone else should have presented this, his voice is hard to listen to.

So well done and I am happy that he provided his website.

Because

Just

Thanks Evan

It’s an anti-slavery song! Read the lyrics! It’s about the cruelty of slaves being torn from their homes and loved one and sold “down the river”. Stephen Foster was a great songwriter and this is a great song! Sing it loud! Just because it was sung by the minstrel shows doesn’t mean they’re anything wrong with it. The song doesn’t “sentimentalize” slavery, the opposite is true! Frederick Douglas - the famous abolitionist - spoke approvingly of this song! This speaker is an idiot!

This was great!!❤

I found a video of a black Confederate graveyard. That says it all. ruclips.net/video/12-NhTz2R9Q/видео.html&pp=ygUsZ3JhZXlhcmQgaG9ub3JpbmcgOTAgMDAwIGJsYWNrIGNvbmZlZGVyYXRlcyA%3D

This is an excellent book but this guy is a terrible public speaker, rambling endless circular sentences - repeating himself. Just awful. So little info in so much time.

I am proud to be a member of the Filson and wish you the very best for many more years to come of scholarship, preservation and public outreach to all.

WOW so glad I had the opportunity to listen to this!! Learning our REAL history is critical to being our best; better people and better citizens. Thank You!!!

I just skimmed through the video but this is so cool that people actually know the history behind these awesome looking buildings.

Gwynne is amazing! Her book, George Rogers Clark and William Croghan: A story of the Revolution, Settlement, and Early Life at Locust Grove is a MUST READ for any one drawn to American History. I hope to see Gwynne give another lecture on George Rogers Clark at the Filson Historical Society (especially since this year marks the 245th anniversary of the Siege of Fort Sackville) in the future.

The history of the South is made more complex because after the Civil War, many courthouses were purposely destroyed fearing Union retaliation. Since the Wat Tyler revolt, it was illegal to educate Blacks. People like Richard Johnson ignored this. Giving any woman the responsibility Julia had was also rare. The 'politically correct' interpretation of history is often errant as in the case of Benjamin Franklin and his wife. It was said she was illiterate but the daughter of a publisher, it makes no sense. Franklin himself, in his autobiography said she was enough to sign documents. She had no literary interests such as in Abigail Adams case. You seem to want to demean Richard Johnson when he was ahead of his time with regard to his wife and the treatment of the Choctaws. He could have lowered Julia Chinn's status to gain more votes but he refused to. That shows how much he loved her. One third of the Blacks in the South were already freed by the time of the Civil War! The problem is although freed, they had no money, no infrastructure to put to use. Julia may have been worse off if she was freed. After the Civil War such as portrayed in "Gone With the Wind", many former slaves came back because although free, they were starving. Tecumseh, according to Johnson's critics was killed by Johnson but they said it was a 'lucky shot' and Johnson's bullet wasn't the only one which wounded the legendary chief. Despite the age difference, Johnson was a virile young man at 31 in his prime. At 14 or so, the young Julia was probably in love with him as well, a typical teenager. The big difference with her and Sally Hemmings, Thomas Jefferson's was that Julia showed her intelligence but even Abigail Adams said Sally was stupid. Now Sally's father wasn't stupid because he managed all of Jefferson's affairs quite well. Common sense should tell you in any race you are going to get both smart, average and dumb. At 75, I have met smart, average and dumb Whites, Jews, Blacks and Hispanics and so forth. I often refer to myself as being smart for a Polak. You will serve yourself better by acknowledging what is 'new' or 'trendy' has just as many flaws as that which was but only flawed in newer and different ways. Performance should count more than any external qualities. I met people who couldn't fire Blacks although they were incompetent until they found a Black government official to say that he could. Black racism also exists. No one addresses that issue, not even fair minded Blacks.

I was surprised at the speaker's pronunciation of Chillicothe and Scioto County. I grew up in Ashland, Ky., on the banks of the Ohio River. We pronounced the city name as ChillacothEE, not ChilliKOTH. Scioto County as SYOTO, not SKYOTO.

I think Laura was like her father and the other girls were like the mother. Until later tales of Rose about sister Grace..

I have been searching for links to the Fincastle County Re-enactment group, and I can't find any. I'm interested in joining in the fun. How can I get connected?

One of the main reasons for Simon's defection was the shameful "squaw campaign" led by Edward hand.

This tettible

Brilliant talk. Very interesting. US history has always been too euro-centric. An America conceived of and ruled by Europeans. The narratives of the Africans, Mexicans, Indians, and Asians, were never a fully embraced part cultural history. Their fortunes were those of another tribe. We excluded them from the comfortable serenity of our Philadelphian story. .

I’m late to the party, but thank you for this fascinating video. Most google or RUclips searches focus on ghost busting, but I was more interested in the historical aspect, as well as the treatments/stats; as an RN, this is very interesting, often overlooked side of the TB crisis.

Good thing you two didn’t live in Laura ‘s time, you’d die real quick

She talks as if Laura desires to hide some things, to the contrary, publishers didn’t think harsh stories belonged in children’s books

I suppose i should get the shots, i never even had the shots i need to get , like for instance i have never gotten the flu shot in my life, and My mom wants me to ask about the RSV shot ( I think thats what its called) but i need to pay for it. I have all my covid vacines except for this year. I am an ashmatic younger person, and i dont go out much. It really sucks having asthma especially since i seemed to have developed it right away, i think i got it from not cleaning up, from depression, i was living in 10 yrs of build up dirt and dust and possibly i exposed my self to black mold unkowingly, i really dont even know what ut was but it was almost black with s very must smell. Vacuming every week and getting rid of the dust deffinitly had helped and whatever the hell i csme across under my matress aswell as getting a new matress!, i think my throat got swollen from that and i thought my asthma would go away once i replaced my mattress and cleaned up but it never did 😢

I was very thankful for this historical view of Waverly. I owe my life to that gothic old building. Not as a patient, but as the child of two former patients. My parents met there while under care. At a Halloween party thrown by the Waverly Hills staff for the patients no less. Mom and dad didn't speak very often about their time there. But the memories they did share were of a caring and professional staff who did their best to deliver quality care. A staff who went above and beyond. At least in the late 1940's As far as I'm concerned I owe my very existence to that scary old building on the hill. I wish there was a memorial plaque or something to honor the staff who served there.

Stop using the term “ sustainable”. That’s just simply how people lived in the 1940’s and before. As my mother, born in 1915, taught me.

My husband and our children are descendants of Matthew Jouett.

Excellent presentation and discussion!

Honored to be an 6x6 cousin Of Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. founder of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby

Very good documentary

Excellent summarizing of the titans of those times. Thank you. I will get your book.

Perhaps somebody in the US can explain to me this conundrum. Freeing slave in the South then, within months killing every Native American in the North that they US could point a gun at. The civil war may have been about freeing slaves, but it in no way was about slavery.

Well, this is going on my syllabus!
