Jordan you’ve really grown in your storytelling and I look forward to your insights and subjects. Glad to see you in Maryland and hope you enjoy it while you are here.
I grew up in Rockville and found this grave by accident. I was in the neighborhood behind the church and was cutting through the graveyard on my bike so I wouldn't be late getting home. His grave looks so different from all the others that I had to stop. I was too young to really know who he was, but I knew about Francis Scott Key. I might have been late, but I had a good enough story that I didn't get in trouble. I think being at a church helped too.
We read the Great Gatsby in high school, it was one American novel that I got into because I always found the 1920s so fascinating historically and socially. In the mid 70s the film version of Great Gatsby with Robert Redford and Mila Farrow came out, it caused quite the buzz and helped bring about a renewed interest in F Scotts work. Thanks for showing us the Fitzgerald's final resting place. All the best to you and Jah 🙂❤️🌄🐶🌈
My favorite novel of his is The Great Gatsby, but his early short stories are my favorites. I'm no expert, but here are my suggestions if anyone is interested: The Cut-Glass Bowl (one of the darkest stories I've ever read), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (funny and tragic; also, a movie starring Brad Pitt), Bernice Bobs Her Hair (funny, witty and a perfect ending), The Camel's Back (comedy). The last three are thrilling and eerie: May Day, The Diamond As Big As the Ritz, and The Room With the Green Blinds.
Back in the late 70s, PBS had a series called American Short Stories. I saw the one called Bernice Bobs Her Hair. If memory serves me correctly, Shelley Duvall played the title character
Great video! Coming from Minnesota I’m very familiar with Fitzgerald and have seen where he lived on Summit Avenue and spent time in White Bear Lake. I never realized he was buried in Maryland. I can tell that you’ve done lots of research on his life. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this vlog Jordan; I've read books of their life together, (also the one by Sheila), and it reads like a greek tragedy. I'm glad Scotty remembered the good times. Nancy from Vandalia
Thank you, Jordan, for the lovely tribute to one of your favorite authors and mine. It remains a joy to read his work. “No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.” -THE GREAT GATSBY spoken by Nick.
Thank you for all your research, I have never heard the story before. Thank you for bringing some of this back to some of us history best that I’ve never heard or seen some of these places thank you so much Jordan!!!!!!!! You are such a blessings!!!!!
I grew up in Rockville and went to this grave many times - I too am a huge F Scott Fitzgerald fan. I left from the area years ago but there is a lot of history in the area. Plus it's so close to DC. Thank you- I appreciate your videos and have loved traveling with you and Jah. ❤️😊☀️🦩
While it is clear that Scott loved Zelda, It should also be noted, that Zelda also showed a talent for writing that Scott recognized, saw as a challenge to his own considerable talent and dissuaded by belittling and convincing her that her writing was no good. In this, Scott allowed his crippling lack of confidence to get the best of him and was needlessly cruel to Zelda and the world lost what could have been another great literary light.
Jordan - Thank you so much for this video on the final resting places of the Fitzgerald family. F. Scott is one of my favorite authors. So glad all three of them are together. I also appreciated the other videos you have done on them. Thank you so much my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
Jordan, I love your choice of authors in Oscar Wilde and F. Scott Fitzgerald. They're also two of my favorite authors. Thanks for bringing stories about them.
💋Love the vlogs you have made about F. Scott and Zelda previously. Thanks for showing where their final resting place is. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Thank you for this wonderful vlog. I'm from the D.C. Metropolitan area. I even worked at the National Archives in D.C. But, I never knew this was where he was finally buried with his wife and daughter. I loved his works. Great job in investigating and researching this out!
See the 1959 biopic, “Beloved Infidel,” based on the “torrid” romantic affair between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sheilah Graham and starring Gregory Peck and Deborah Kerr. Eddie Albert portrays a character based on humorist Robert Benchley. Hardcore “I Love Lucy” fans might recognize Philip Ober, Vivian Vance’s real-life husband, as Graham’s editor. Fun film of old Hollywood - could be a companion piece to “A Star is Born.”
What a wonderful vlog. Thank you for telling some of F. Scott's story. I loved the movie The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford. I hope he and Zelda rest in peace. You and Jah have safe travels and take care.
I never knew that F. Scott was moved from Union Cemetery to be with the rest of his family. Thanks for sharing this story with us. You told it beautifully!!!
Jordan thank you so much for this piece. F Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite writer I have read all his books ,it's so sad about Zelda and her mental issues loved the video. Thank you
This was a befitting ending to Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda story . Love the photo of the family in their home with the Christmas 🎄 tree look how happy they were back then . Thanks Jordan for this wonderful series ❤️.
If you saw the videos I made at their home in montgomery, alabama- in the museum portion they have Christmas tree in the exact place where that photo was taken
Excellent video Jordan i loved it thank you for sharing why he could not buried with his family, but it turns out he did, just because he didn't seem fir can not wait until the next video😊
thanks Jordan...... Fizgerald sounds so rich . I can imagine the roaring '20's . need to check out some of his books, I like to read ( Steel, Bradford, and Fern Micheals ) stay safe.
There's a lady named Helen from GA. here on RUclips. She's 83 years old and she told a story back last summer about being kin to the Keys family. She also tells about them writing the Star Spangled Banner. So, I wonder if she is also kin to him as well? She went to a cemetery in either in Dublin GA. or Adrian GA. and shows their graves also. So, I believe these two stories some how are connected in some way. 🤔 This is so very interesting Jordan!! I would really love to know if they were actually kin to each other or not. 😊
Very nice vlog. I never made it to their graves all the years I lived in Maryland, so thanks for taking me. Did you get to eat any Maryland Blue Crabs (yummy stuff)?
I love your videos Jordan, but I am not a F. Scott fan. This is still a welcome treat as I do admire writers greatly and, in that sense, (for me) F. Scott is a success. I much prefer and my favorite John Steinbeck, of course being born in the same town as he probably made it inevitable. Then Dickens. "The Lost Generation" was one subject that Steinbeck was notorious for criticizing.... saying, (and I am paraphrasing-my dad isn't here to give me the exact quote) "While all the 'other' writers were in Paris becoming a "Lost Generation", I was at home (USA), protesting in the lines for the helpless, homeless and migrant workers." =if anyone finds the exact quote, please share it? but on an upbeat note, from Steinbeck (and there are many) “Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” ― John Steinbeck ;)
Francis Scott Key is my grandson's school here in Philadelphia. They call it key school. Their motto is Diversity is our strength. The school is over 100 yrs old.
It's such a shame that catholics are like that, my Father was catholic and when he passed they told him that my Mother couldn't be buried at St Mary's so my Mother bought a small plot in a protestant cemetery started in the 1600's, they were both cremated and buried together when my Mother passed. At that point my Father's sister told my Mother that the cemetery had changed and protestants could be buried there, my Poor Mother was so upset, but plans were made and my sister and I carried them out with the respect that they both deserved This is a beautiful love story ty Jordan
HEY, JORDAN & JAH YEAH, Scott & Zelda Had lead a awesome And fabulous life They Did what they wanted To and Scott was a great writer and lived what he wrote about But him and her die In A Very sad way

I just saw that movie few months ago and over 5 decades on this planet and that movie eluded me I have no idea how! 😂
@@silencedogood5766 I know what you mean, crazy how time flies 🙂
@@silencedogood5766 The film was an homage at best.
Another great one Jordan! Thank you.

@@paulsmith2279 I like both Hemingway and Fitzgerald. I love to read its a favorite pastime.
Hi Jordan, those were some lovely old photos you shown of Scott and Zelda. I'm so pleased they all got to be buried together. Great vlog Jordan.
Agree F.Scott Fitzgerald is an amazing writer. From St. Paul, Minnesota where Fitzgerald wrote “This Side of Paradise” while living on Summit Ave.
I vlogged that house once. I love that book
💕💕
Great Vlog! You have motivated me to revisit his works!
Thank You Jordan💖🙏💋
That was a great vlog! Thank you for sharing it. Take care. 💗👍💗

As always you do awesome research. Thanks for this vlog and the information.
A flawed human being. A flawless writer.
A love story with a fair amount of sadness. Wonderful that the family is all buried together.
Keep them coming!!!! Love this great history you keep alive!!!!!
Thanks for the tribute to F Scott. I’m impressed that someone of your generation remembers him.

One of the Hospitals’ Zelda was in is in Beacon, NY. Near where I live. It is called The Craig House. I visited two weeks ago.
Excellent video Jordan i loved it thank you for sharing why he could not buried with his family, but it turns out he did, just because he didn't seem fir can not wait until the next video😊
A GREAT WRITER! I subscribed!
I still love your vlogs!
I've seen the hospital where Zelda spent her last days & it's hauntingly sad
thank you for making this video.
thanks Jordan...... Fizgerald sounds so rich . I can imagine the roaring '20's . need to check out some of his books, I like to read ( Steel, Bradford, and Fern Micheals ) stay safe.
Great!!!! The Great Gatsby is a favorite.
Beautiful, thank you.
Oh my goodness! My old stomping grounds! Wow...
I also never visited his grave! And I drove past this church every day for years! 😳
Cool, lived in Rockville 2004-2007, drove by that cemetary all the time but never went and saw the grave
Beloved Infidel is a great book and movie about his relationship with Sheilagh Graham.
Loved this book. So glad that Shelia wasn't forgotten. She gave Scott So much happiness !!💞🙏
Scott
Liked the vlog jorden from Margaret p from uk
"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy" -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Beautiful and Sad Story all together.. ♥️
I love hearing anything on F.Scott and Zelda I am fascinated by them

My Great Aunt Zigfeld Star Gilda Grey is mentioned in the first chapter of the Great Gatsby!
Hey man. Love your videos, was hooked after watching the episode where you visit the Big House. Love your opening tune. Who's the band?
Very nice vlog. I never made it to their graves all the years I lived in Maryland, so thanks for taking me. Did you get to eat any Maryland Blue Crabs (yummy stuff)?
Nice words for the Fitzgerald's. Good video.
Another interesting video.
a Rockville is where my youngest niece lived
I used to work in Rockville! Also, you have great taste in writers. Not surprising, lol. Have you read P.G. Wodehouse? He is my personal favorite.

Francis Scott Key is my grandson's school here in Philadelphia. They call it key school. Their motto is Diversity is our strength. The school is over 100 yrs old.
I was about 10 minutes from you then. The last couple times I have been there was for funerals. His grandparents are there as well.
It's such a shame that catholics are like that, my Father was catholic and when he passed they told him that my Mother couldn't be buried at St Mary's so my Mother bought a small plot in a protestant cemetery started in the 1600's, they were both cremated and buried together when my Mother passed.

This is a beautiful love story ty Jordan
oh lion informative and handsome as always
I went to a private school Called Key Summer Hill. The lady who ran it , her husband was kin to Francis Scott Key. Pretty Kool!
hope you are still in the area, lots to see here
I love the scene from Ted 2 where they make that Joke about him
Jordan have you ever seen midnight in Paris I really think you would enjoy it :)

I would love for you to do a good piece with Heidi Fleiss and what she is doing now. Xo

Geez Jordan, what a gorgeous couple.
I hope you made it out of there @6:50. Sounded like the cops were after you!
Interesting story f Scott Fitzgerald
Have you heard Zelda most likely wrote Gatsby and he just took credit?
Highly doubtful.
(Don't Go Back) to Rockville R.E.M.
He had child nicole
Was F. SCOTT FITZGERALD related to"John Fitzgerald Kennedy"???
