Lost in Texas: Exploring The Frontier Fort Chadbourne
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Join us on a journey through time as we explore the ruins of Fort Chadbourne, a historic frontier fort that once stood guard over the Butterfield Overland Mail route in Texas. Built in 1852 to protect settlers from Indian raids, this fortress has stood the test of time, but not without facing its own battles. By 1867, the fort was abandoned due to a lack of water and supplies, leaving behind a ghostly reminder of the dangers that once lurked in the Wild West. Today, the site is owned by the Garland Richard family, who have preserved this piece of history for over a century.

Wow, this is really cool. It seems like there is a lot of forgotten history to be discovered in Texas. I've heard two different stories on why its called a chuckwagon. One is the food was called chuck for some reason, the other being the inventor of the chuckwagon was Charles Goodnight, and his nickname was Chuck.
Thanks Steve. Glad you enjoyed it. There’s lots to see in Texas!
Someone else mentioned that the food was called chuck! Strange. May Mr Goodnight did come up with the idea. Sounds more plausible. Another mystery forgotten to time.
So nice to see that they’re rebuilding our history.
It’s all privately owned so they rely on donations. They are doing a marvellous job. Thanks Barbrah.
I once thought they were a precursor to the washing machine but it appears to be a mechanized butter churn. Boy, they certainly had all the modern conveniences of the day out in the middle of nowhere. Great tour and video, thanks y'all! 🤠
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this weeks pin. See you next Tuesday.
Thank you. I was hoping someone would know the answer ❤
I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you're very knowledgeable about the places you visit. None of this "I don't have the faintest idea what this is..." discussions.
We do our best on the research. Challenging at times as there’s so much contradictory info on the web. The owner of Chadbourne took us around and gave us the history. His family has owned the area for decades and are restoring the buildings. It was a great place to visit. Highly recommended it.
See you next week for another adventure.
How wonderful!!😍 Thanks so much for taking us on this tour. After my mom passed in 2005 I would take day or weekend trips with my dad all over Texas ( best place in the world so happy I live here) until his passing 5 years ago and sadly we never made it there. He would have absolutely loved it. I guess now I'll just visit with my grandchildren because it's going on the bucket list for sure!!❤
We are huge fans of Texas Joyce, may be the state we settle down in someday. This is definitely worth a visit, everyone there is so wonderful! We are so happy you enjoyed this explore!
Cowboys of the time called food "chuck," so the box was called a chuck box and the wagon became known as a chuck wagon. That's the story I found. This was a terrific find. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Connie. Wonder why they called it chuck?!
Texas is chock full of history. The frontier forts tell a great story of the westward movement. I could almost hear the soldiers speaking, their voices captured by the sandstone walls.
We loved Texas, Lesley. So much to see too.
What an incredible find... I'm so happy that family is into preserving, restoring, and sharing with the public. The history of that site is interesting. I always get nostalgic vibes in such places.
I had never heard of that long ago, abandoned fort. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Andrea and Steven. That museum is amazing. 🤗👏👏
It truly is Rhonda. It’s family owned and they rely on donations to support the restoration. Definitely a pin worthy place for the Atlas.
butter churn for making butter.
What an extraordinary find. I love the idea that you two stick to the facts of that area. Reliving history is very educational. If I had a chance to live in a historical time it would be The old west. So many layers of history. I bet that area is haunted. The ranchers still use chuck wagons when they have their round ups during the spring and summer and fall months. Moving their cattle and horses from one pasture to another ,, seasonally. Even sheep herders as well. Same strategy. Ranchers nowadays still make their own saddles and bridles. Nothing has changed in ranching except TIME itself. Thank you for the historical journey through a vast era 😊
Wild West would be good. But maybe the roaring 20s before the crash or the 50s would be good eras to revisit.
@@PinInTheAtlas not for me. But to each is their own.
What a fantastic explore. Really interesting. Thank you so much for letting us tag along. See you next week 😊
Thanks Sue. Lots more to come. See you next week.
I also Love the little touch at the very end with the "take a soldier pray for our troops" i hope other museums take note and it catches on.❤
We still have ours Joyce. He sits in the cab with us
I love watching Below the Plains and Adventure Archeology. I also watch another video by a historian in Georgia, who goes to abandoned graveyards and old buildings. His name is Robert, a nice guy in Waverly Hall, Georgia.
We’ve watched him too Diane.
Hi there, Andrea & Stephen. Great find in Texas and amazing artifacts. At 5:05. It reads 1876; there is is a horizontal line bar connected to the vertical line to the left of the 6, making it 1876. At 23:07, Andrea, on the Saddle Rack in front of you, isn’t that a Woman’s Side-Saddle! The Bracket on the left side reminds me of one I’ve seen in a John Wayne Movie . No Stirrup on the right side. Also, not built right for carrying supplies.
The Superior Sanitary Butter Churn was a step up from the wood paddle type. The crock which is easy to clean. The rocking motion avoided anything being needed to move the milk around other than rocking motion. See we just keep learning from your adventures.
😁 always something new to learn Connie. Thank you. See you on another adventure next Tuesday.
That was so good! Love it when people restore that stuff. An decorated perfect. Ending was excellent! Thanks
You saw the flag at the end then? We were wondering how many people would watch it. We thought it was cute.
Glad you came along with us Chris. Catch you next Tuesday for another pin.
@@PinInTheAtlas yes the flag surprised me! Cute
Wonderful explore! Also, great history narration! Such an enjoyable, informative and splendid honoring of our troops on Independence Day! Loved the soldier (green army guy?) riding on Tonto's dash. Also, thanks for sharing the diorama flag lowering and raising accompanied by "Retreat" and "Reveille". Bon Voyage!
Thanks David. Yep we have the green army guy. We wondered how many people would see the ending. So happy you enjoyed it and we’ll see you for another adventure next Tuesday.
What a great v.log. Very impressive restoration.
An y'all go to some great historical places I've never heard of. Thanks for the tour and the history.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed our explore. We post new content every Tuesday. See you on our next adventure.
Glad they saved these historical items 😮now they would have been destroyed 😢
They have done an amazing job here. It’s privately owned and don’t get any government funding so they work with donations
My Grandfather had the hand held/drive drill and a standup foot driven jigsaw. Bet you would have like him. Gramma Candy...Actually great gramma 11 times!
I’m sure we would have and congratulations on 11 great grandchildren!!!
Such a beautiful place awesome restoration
nice job thank you ALL stay safe
A great tour of a little known historical site. Thanks for your posting and a great monologue . Stay cool .
Thanks Jake. Glad you enjoyed it. See you next week for another pin.
I subscribe and get notifications, but for some reason your last three episodes I found by accident. They are all outstanding. Like I've said to you before I love your new more artistic videos
Thank you Virginia. Not sure what’s going on with RUclips. For some reason lots of people are either being unsubscribed or not notified. We post every week on Tuesdays at 7am PST.
It might be an idea to let YT know too. There’s a chat box for questions etc.
thanks for letting us know.
Thanks for another great adventure.
You’re welcome Linda. Glad you enjoyed this weeks pin.
Interesting video. The well on my farm in Iowa is 175 foot deep and some wells in my area are over 600 foot.
Our friends well in SD is 180. Ft. Glad you enjoyed our pin Brian. Next adventure is next Tuesday. Hope to see you then.
Wow its amazing how you remember the history so well
Lots of research and I make notes.
Excellent and outstanding! Love your channel!
Thank you Jim. We have lots of explores and post new content every Tuesday. 7am PST. See you on our next adventure.
What a super good video, I loved the history. My kind of stuff, thanks for the trip.
Glad you enjoyed it Lorna. This place was amazing. Lots more explores to come every Tuesday.
26:13 Sounds like someone's making a Cup or Tea!
It is. The hologram makes the tea, waves and disappears!
Could you imagine the echoes of the night before in them chamber pots? Yee-Haa!! Beans and a long night of beer. One hundred guys? Oh my! I heard it was called a chuck wagon because chuck steak abounded around camp. Oh, and a footnote; with a little shopping, catching the red eye, it still cost $200.00 from Chicago to Las Vegas. Sometimes you can get a gamblers package for less. That was a cool Pin. They really did a great job of putting that back together. Two thumbs up rating on the filming and editing. Peace.
Ahhh now the chuck steak makes sense too Richard.
Yes they have done an amazing job. It’s privately owned so they work with donations.
Glad you enjoyed our explore.
Wow! That "sanitized churn" sure looks like it could be used for a current day mobile washing machine, ha ha!!
😂
Google indicates a "Sanitary Churn" was used for making Butter.
That's what I read on Google also!
Great video ya'll
The chuck wagon was a creation of Charles Goodnight.
Thanks!
Thanks T. Tonto thanks you too.
@@PinInTheAtlas yes. Yw. Tonto sure gets around 🤔
Sanitary churn. Notice it was made of high quality stoneware. Far easier to clean. Than the standard wooden churn.
Makes sense Ken.
1816? Always a joker in every crowd. Very interesting video as always.
Exactly Gary. We chuckled ourselves.
IF you liked this check out Fort Concho in San Angelo. One of the best preserved Indian wars period forts.
Thanks Wade. Have pinned it for next time we’re in the area
Thank you❤ive never heard of it but I will definitely check it out next time I'm out that way.
Happy 4th of July to both of you
And to you Bill. Thanks for watching. See you next week.
The sanitary churn is a washer for clothing
Thanks Karron
A sanitary churn made butter and today we can buy one for a mere $800.00
This sanitary churn is just a churn that is more sanitary... then wood
Happy 4th of July!
And to you Chris
Most forts in Texas were piles of rock and some grass around for the horses.
Only a few had walls.
Some a whore house or a trading post.
Reason why it was called a Chuck Wagon. During that time cowboys called food chuck. You put the food in a chuck box and the then the wagon was called a Chuck Wagon. As for Sanitize Chun I believe that could be sanitized the Chun after making butter or other dairy products. The single officer quarters. I believe might be a senior officer or base commander. Very interesting. You really travel this time going to Texas.
Wonder why they called food chuck! Thanks for the info on the churn. Never seen one of those before.
We love Texas! Lots to see and the people are great. See you next week Wayne.
@@PinInTheAtlas I lived in Texas years ago. In the city of Beaumont.
@@PinInTheAtlas Could it be similar to vernacular terms for food used elsewhere ? : "tuck" in Great Britain and "tucker" in Australia. I know school canteens in Australia were also often called the tuck shop and the Australian counterpart of the American chuck box was called a tucker box.
The first part of this video it sounds like you're chugging along in a old steam train any way great story will rewatch when the Sun goes down 🏆🇺🇸
Not sure why you’re having issues with the sound. We’ve both watched it on RUclips today and it seemed fine! Hopefully you’ll have better luck later.
@@PinInTheAtlaswhen I watched this the sun was shining what I said was the foot steps or music sounded like a steam train to me that I thought I enjoyed it all the way through I heard it it was a nice touch I thought .In no way was I down grading the video sorry you thought different 🚂🤔🆗
No offence Case. Sometimes YT does strange things to the sound for some reason. We’ve had it before. Glad you enjoyed our pin.
I was told by my Grandfather that folks called their meal "chuck". Don't know if that is right. Gramma candy
Someone else said the same. Wonder why?
As I watched this I imagined what the Brits would think watching an American marching around the countryside schooling them in their history.
Some would enjoy it, some wouldn’t. Same as it is here.
@@PinInTheAtlas I expect I am in a small minority here, but would be a member of a large majority in Ol’ Merry.
One thing I never see is signs to those say thousand years down the line. You think with there hard part trying to find things. If there was a marker to tell them it be hug
Wasn't there something like a wall or palisade around that fort?
Probably. But we didn’t see it
Did the soldiers sleep on cots or bunk beds? Bunks would have increased the number.
Not sure about that Jan. Maybe bunks!
@@PinInTheAtlas I once visited an old fort somewhere that had large bunk beds constructed for 4 guys. Two on top, two on the bottom. I hope they liked each other.
@janblake9468 🤣
@janblake9468 🤣
@@PinInTheAtlas Fort McHenry, Baltimore, barracks has 4-man bunk beds.
I wish they would scan the walls for writing
What a great idea. Bet they’d discover lots more
Gotta give it to the yanks they look after there History as once it's gone it's gone forever, another great journey into the past and thank you, now, with regards to the "Chuck Wagon", I reckon it's because of the food served up at the time would cause you to "chuck up" after eating, watcha reckon Cheers
🤣
