Titanic Survivors from Virginia and West Virginia | Robert Daniel & Eloise Smith

One could easily write a book on Titanic passengers from the two Virginias, but in this video, we're focusing on two people in particular, who handled the trauma from their survival in two very different ways. Oral history can be tricky for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that people often choose what they are willing to discuss based on personal boundaries as much as broader cultu...

Montclair Estates (Phase II) | Roanoke, VA
I’ve stayed there in the big house. It’s haunted. I think it’s Mrs Eliza Bruce. She was telling me to get out of her house. The two portraits in the entrance hall are really creepy too.
LoL, that's not a castle that's an old black man's house I don't know who this white dude is
Glass panels...on the ceiling? That's crazy. & What kinda paint did they use that long ago that could paint over sheet metal, make it look like stone & not come off? I painted my metal porch furniture with metal paint & mess started peeling in 6 months 😤

I know this had to be a big undertaking, but if you could make one of these for different liners they’d be my favorite. You’ve found so many photos, articles, and footage I never knew existed. If you could do this with other ships it would be so amazing!
so many opera singers never have children. how sad
Would it be possible to get a copy of this outside of youtube?
As some radical post Vatican II priests decided to remove some of the beauty like the angel statues etc, the people were responsible for they could have forbid this destruction and demanded the exit of these radicals. Being catholic all my life I've experienced these types of personalities and they did destroy a lot of the beauty of the original Catholic Churches........However this insanity still exists but in very limited quantity..Thank God!!!........Still a beautiful Church!!!! as well as Powhatan.......
It's an absolute shame that liberals under the aegis of Vatican II destroyed that and many other beautiful Catholic Churches throughout the world.
Thank you for this lovely video. ♥As a „Gibson Girl“, descended from CDW Gibson (my great, great Uncle), it‘s so interesting to follow whatever information is available, aside from what I know from family.
I live just outside of Richmond and had never heard of Pratt's Castle. Fascinating video, thanks for posting.
Though not raised Catholic, this Church brings back many fond memories of seeing it every morning going to Gary Elementary and Gary High school. This Church was a big part of the local community when I was growing up in the area. I hope that it will continue to stand as a memorial of the people of the Gary area for years to come.
Excellent Narrative ... ⚖️
The enslaved produced an estimated 69% of the South's portion of the GNP, possibly Higher, as the Sugar, Cotton, and Indigo exports made some 4 of the Plantation Owners the then "Wealthiest Men in the World". They comprised a variable number between 400 and 1200 enslaved persons each. Free Labor and no Taxes factored into immense profits. They influenced the Newspapers of the day, and that reveals the seeds of the Civil War, fanned by the "International Bankers and Financiers" who wanted to own our Financials and Banking System. It took them another 40 years and the Rothschild family, neither USA Citizens nor Residents, still own the "Federal Reserve Bank Corporation", and all Central Banks, + vast more Ownerships and Contracts. War is always about money and/or resources. Blind to the facts that others are literally equal, for all are Soul Energies in a Human Vessel experiencing a Life Journey. We aren't our Physical, We are our Energy and it is Eternal. Best Thoughts ... Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
Thanks for the video!! Always knew about the ethyl corp thing but it’s really sad that the whole neighborhood had to be ruined due to bad decisions
Conte…i am sorry i butchered your name.
Mr.conti, i am friends with Monica Mills. My family had special memories in this church. I love Monica’s words at the beginning. I liked the history. My ENTIRE family left in the 50s. I come to tend graves. Meeting Monica and coming to the church gave me live people to visit when i come to decorate graves in McDowell, Mercer, Tazewell and Summers! Thanks for your time and maybe i will meet you in the future.
Thank you Silvio! Monica is such a lovely person. Perhaps we will brush shoulders sometime when I'm in town!
This was lovely, thank you!
Just stayed there this past weekend for my Wife’s family reunion. Beautiful property but you can feel the energy there soon as you step foot on the grounds. Feels very sad. We had the chance to explore the big house, the grounds, the slave quarters, the graveyard’s. No paranormal Activity we experienced. Before leaving we said a prayer for our ancestors who were enslaved on these grounds, praying for their peace in the afterlife and paid respects to their hardship’s and inhumane treatment they must’ve faced. It was a very powerful and most memorable reunion we have had.
when they started working on the costar building they uncovered multiple underground canal passages and tunnels so it is very possible he had a tunnel from the house to the river. another cool fact is that camble's hill had a train tunnel through it like church hill does and this tunnel was for the shortest railroad in north america at the time. Unfortunately Gamble's Hill is a barren stretch having been bisected by the expressway now it is mostly parking lots with a few businesses. maybe one day something good will come of that area of the city
i love the history of my city
Her Supporters Today Still Believe this Imposter was Anastasia are only selling Fantasy Books are Full of Nonsenses and Fictions Truth is They have only Fantasies in their heads because They look nothing alike and She was Franziska Schanzkowska Polish Woman if Another dna test would be done on her Intestines and Hair Locks would Come same Results as Negative no Links with Royals only Schanzkowska family members they would still deny it and continue Live in their Fantasy World instead.
Anna Anderson was Grand duchess. she has same birth mark. . same scar. ,
I'm like: "I don't remember Benny Hill doing a plantation skit.."
The recordings she made, (as well as other recordings by opera greats at the time), at the end of her career, would be the perfect opportunity to use AI technology for a good purpose. I know her voice was probably not as good then, at the end of her career, but what I hear behind all the scratches and recording impurities, is lovely. What I would give, to have a Time Machine, and recording equipment, to hear the greats of the past!
This was a wonderful biography. I knew the name and face of Adelina Patti, but I had no idea she was such an important figure in the world of opera and beyond. What a great life she lived.
No nos olvidemos de Nely Melba. Poco se habla de ella y fue una gran soprano australiana. Elena Mitchel era su nombre.
Una vida muy interesante la de Adelina, según he leído en su biografía. Suficiente para hacer una gran pelicula.
...she looks very average tbh
This sounds like a horror urban legend movie i wish would happen
What they did to all our Confederate monuments was absolutely terrible. You can still put up new monuments and keep the past in place. None of them should have been destroyed or removed.
The slaves didn't produce all the wealth. You had to have wealth to purchase slaves in the first place.

What a beautiful story, this would make a wonderful film.
My great grandfather, William Martin, was the N&W’s station agent at Wytheville for over 30 years.
Well done
Thank you for this .
Looking at her photos you can see some of the family resemblance to her great great niece, Patti Lupone (another goddess of sing and stage)
Thank you for this wonderful video.
