Добавлен 18 фев 2022
I make videos of the lavish and glamorous times past.
Sallie Ward | The Headstrong Southern Belle
Sallie Ward was born into the lap of luxury and became the social grand dame of Louisville, Kentucky. She was beautiful, and was from a famously and fabulously wealthy family. She often set the fashion of the day by what she wore and did; and occasionally, she turned social convention on its ear.
Living from 1827-1896, she was known worldwide as a 19th century American princess.

Alexandra Feodorovna and Nicholas II of Russia’s Love Story. Their marriage was based on love, a love that lasted until the end. The Romanov couple will forever be remembered as the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia.
There is so much beautiful housing that has just been chopped into house-apartments for slum lords. It is very sad. So much potential being wasted.
Beautiful, and what nice comments. Pity you don't say anything about the furniture, which to me would be very interesting. Is it still the original furniture?
Sorry, can't listen to this voice
?
Faerietale 🧚♀️💞 Romance is such a blessing for marriage 👰💒🤵in the 🌎. Tsardom isn't really dead, as the Abdication was Forced by Bolshevik Jews who apparently never heard about the Torah & therefore Not Legal. They were Orthodox ☦ Christians.
It is " Louvull"
I thoroughly enjoyed this video‼️👏👏👏 Thank you
I’m a russofile from head to foot, and in all the media of Alexandra, I have never once see her smile.
So what? I always see this unnecessary comment everywhere on videos of Alexandra. If you want pictures of smiling fools, you will find that all over social media.
I’m a russofile from
I wish the pictures were of Sallie.
A woman ahead of her time, and she seemed to choose her husbands more carefully as she aged and learned life lessons. I liked how she liked lavender and purple later in life.
Terrible reader.
WAY too melodramatic. To the point your prose is dripping with such syrupy sweetness as to drown a listener. Well researched but the History is so over shadowed by the melodrama and syrupy words that it's almost lost.
The cadence if the narration is mechanical sounding and not how American English is typically spoken.
She must have been a very nice person in addition to all her other attributes or she would never have gotten away with all her antics. Great story. Thanks
He doesen't look handsome at all by any means. :) Should I carry on watching the video if it starts with such distortion of reality? :)
Thank you for this video! I'm glad people are making videos on Henrietta Maria (and the Stuarts in general) because she's such a fun historical character and personaly I love her :)
Voice too annoying to listen to!
The woman Margret Mitchell based her character, Scarlett O'Hara, on was Julia Barnsley of Adairsville, GA.
If only women had made the rules & laws. It wouldn’t have been so awful. No war, no barbaric happenings. Girls would have inherited & controlled their own life. I could look at Versailles photos for days… 🩷
Her gowns & shoes! Swoon
Your voice is lovely & perfect for telling stories of history. What beautiful children they had 🤍
Thank you so much!
So happy I found your channel. I can’t wait for your next video. Cheers 🇨🇦
Air-o-stock-ra-see
This was so interesting, thank you. I love the artwork shown too. Very nice vid 🤍
Agreed-30 seconds was all I could take! The voice is pretty, but sing-songy and monotonous.
Thanks for sharing some information about American history. The movie called, "Mrs. Robinson" is a Hollywood tradtion based on a true story about an English and Spanish speaking woman living in the far North American south who had during the18th century married a European entreupreneur who was into noble 'farming' in North America. Was the original Mrs. Robinson really only ever a Eupopean born one or what? When the head of a family from that kind of old fashioned mansion and surrounding lavish gardens comes up to you to say, "You are our leader now." That would sound to most people just way too good to be true. Way too good to be true while constant being encouraged from there to be sharing to all concerned about the culture which you are said to be from. Another Hollywood tradition title for a movie often includes the word, "Fargo." "Fargo" minus the last name included with it - Wells. While a lot of us living in North America are often being flooded with propaganda against the west second hand store sorting warehouses is where a lot of the western history books are ending up while that is happening. So predictable how that has been happening since the year 2008. Has the stock market ever crashed as much since the year 2008? Seems to me that way back during the late 18th century while the industrial revolution was already well underway doing your best to avoid being treated like only an object puppet to be used by rich people must have been far more challenging to do back then regardless if you were a man or a woman or only a child at the time.
Same, sorry but need another speakerv
The voice patterns are often use in hypnosis. It may be triggering people.

It sounds as if Sally had been dreadfully spoiled, which, unfortunately, sullied her character ….She couldn’t handle normal, married life-nor, of not being the center of attention….Divorce was a mortal sin before 1900-especially for a Catholic, as Ward was-her leaving her husband would have been looked upon with horror by her southern neighbors (no matter how “privileged” her family was)…. I’m surprised her father didn’t demand that she remain in the marriage…. One can read the social costs she endured between the lines : Going from the son of the American Ambassador to England (about as premium a match as she could have hoped to get)….to, a local doctor…..This video is sweet, but is also largely fictitious. Ward would have endured much social exclusion for her divorce and separation….(Also, you failed to mention how old she was when she died)….?
You might consider hiring a professional narrator (or a talented friend)….The “little girl” voice really distracts from your excellent content
All of it . Quiet nice indeed.
You talked about sports but you forgot the importance of hockey. UB had a hockey team as early as 1895 and of course along with hockey you forgot The Peace Bridge in the turn of the 20th Century.
Eternal Rest Grant unto Her, O Lord, & Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her. May She Rest in Peace. And May Her Soul & All the Souls of The Faithful Departed Rest in Peace. Amen
Why does ever other source say Sallie's second husband died in 1867 killed in the war. Not falling out a window. There is only one reference to him falling out a window drunk.
You left out that her existence and lifestyle was made possible by the human trafficking and enslavement of African human beings and the genocide of native Americans.
It sounds to me as though she had a near perfect life. Did the one husband fall from the window? Or did he end his life by choice? I find it interesting how these women kept marrying. It's almost like the men were waiting in line, hoping to be next.
Female orator disappointing
No, she sounds exactly like a proper Belle, Northern or Southern from the 1800s. She isn't looking for a position on The View TV series, for example.
She is my favorite onator!
Terrible voice! I closed immediately
I can’t listen to this whiny voice.
Now do one on Cora Baker. She was called the laughing Bell by the European newspapers when she made her grand tour.
We have come a long way in the art of face painting.
And I'm glad of it!!
Ich habe hier einen Bild gefunden vom Oestereich~Ungarn: Hofbal in Wien Hofburg mit FranzJosef!!!
Elizabeth Petrovna's legitimacy was not from her mother's low birth. It was because they were NOT married, hence a bastard.
Since the 1860s, Capitalism has begun - Traders and Industrialists with Millions of money, - and the Nobles could not find an extra 10 thousand rubles to live.
Beautiful ❤❤wow
