I don't think I've ever been to that area of Kentucky when it wasn't a "blustery" day. haha. We're coming back out to the fort for their Christmas setup. They're supposed to have the place setup with period correct decor. Should be a good time.
I grew up less than a mile from the Shallowford on the Yadkin river where Boone and his family crossed. Washington also stayed right across the river for a few nights. Stoneman's Raid also came through here. Found many arrowheads and pottery sherds around the house and fields, and walked the old wagon road many long afternoons.
Excellent content, I love the history lessons and adventures!! The fact that the wall was mainly made out of cabins is very neat. Keep up the great content my friend and I absolutely can't wait to see what comes next!!!
Seeing your excitement and enthusiasm for American colonial and revolutionary history is wonderful, you may not be the most professional at delivering lines but that just adds to the charm. Good job and keep up the good work!
I'm really enjoying your enthusiasm for our history. The system and the mainstream mwdia want to erase it so it's up to us to educate our children and keep history alive.
Very cool! Also you've probably read it, but if you haven't then "The Prairie Traveler" by Randolph B. Marcy is a book you have to pick up. In short, it's a handbook for Westward travelers in the 1850's (a little ahead of your period, I know!) and has a wealth of knowledge for Western settlers. Great read and excellent information. Anyway, take care and I can't wait to see more videos of yours!
In Michigan, colonial Fort Michlimackinaw at the tip of the lower Peninsula has inspired many an imagination . These places are important to pass down our history.
@@FlintlockOperator I live in Clark County, and kin to the Callaway girls, with Jemima boone...far as the fort,old timers said they seen the pylons before the quarry was there...river was smaller I'm talking about 90 to100 year old men...where you was was where boone was attacked and they fell down trees and put rocks to make a small fortication...with his men where he was in KY and liked where he could put the fort when he got back to KY..
So funny story, it's not actually a rifle! It's a Brown Bess by Veteran Arms that I've done a lot of work on. I plan on getting a Kibler Colonial kit in the near future though. Thank you for watching!
@@FlintlockOperator yeah… I figured. I wasn’t trying to come across foul. Just wanted the record straight. I’m a huge George Rogers Clark fan. Thanks again.
Simon Kenton is my 7th Great Uncle. His father Mark is my 7th Great Grandfather. My mother used to say that that explained why Im the way I am. I guess thats an OK thing!

Growing up in Kentucky, in middle school, we took a school field trip to the Fort Boonsboro reconstruction and it is still a dear memory
Glad you have that memory! It's a really neat place!
Same here. We're fixin to go camping there next month. We just live in Lexington though. Grew up In Jessamine cty.
Underrated channel.
Just over here laughing picturing some giant of a man yeeting Daniel Boone at some Indians and the fact that actually worked is hysterical.
Excellent presentation of historical events. Thank you.
@@peteengelhardt2783 Thank you for watching!
Thank you. Wonderfully done. I certainly enjoy historical stories and places to visit.

Thanks this is great!!
I went there in the 70s with my school I only live about 30 miles from there may go back there in a couple of weeks
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing history and your adventures
I somehow missed this one … you’re a grand story teller.
Well said! I agree 100%
I actually live literally a few minutes from here. I pass it all the time. I haven’t been in years. I need to go back.

Thank you!
Loved this. I have been there so many times. Brought back many memories!
This was actually my first time. Hopefully the first of many! Thank you for all you do and the inspiration you and your music is!
@@FlintlockOperator thanks brother. Love your channel so much!
Great video!

I actually haven't read that one and will pick it up! Thank you for the recommendation!
Excellent presentation brother. I look forward to seeing more.

I absolutely love this video
The site is were the rock quarry is,,but I am glad you love history,,
Interesting. I have not read or heard that. What's your source on this or where did you hear it from?

Now I’ve gotta read that story you sent me*.
*obviously I was going to regardless of the video. 😅
Good stuff!
Cool!
Fun fact Daniel Boone is actually my ancestor
That's a beautiful looking rifle! I chose to build a Kentucky percussion rifle a few years ago. Did you build your flintlock from a traditions kit?
So funny story, it's not actually a rifle! It's a Brown Bess by Veteran Arms that I've done a lot of work on. I plan on getting a Kibler Colonial kit in the near future though. Thank you for watching!
Been there many times,greetings from a fellow history buff. Keep up the good work , see you down the trail.
Kaskaskia...not Saskatchewan. Boone was also captured and adopted into the Shawnee, before his escape. Great post though... Keep it up.
I'm sure that was just a slip of the tongue on the gunsmith's part. He is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about the period! Thank you!

@@kenatpach I appreciate it, especially since I didn't catch it in post production! Thank you!
@@FlintlockOperator man… just keep educating. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Like I said… I wasn’t trying to sound
Like a dick. Keep educating! It’s so very important. All my love n’ support.

@@jumpmaster82nd. That's SUPER cool!
The Indians for many years new Simon Kenton as Butler because he changed his name when he ran away from home
"Bod-ler", or "Cut-ta-ho-tha".
