Yesteryear. It's sad how things go away. Either burnt torn down or mother nature and age removes it. I think what you are doing is great. This way it won't be lost forever. You do have some pretty country back there. Thanks guys
Y'all are so good at finding Graves and old home places. Love riding along with handsome men. I hope y'all have snake boots. My parents still eat Polk Salad. Robert where'd the pants to that jacket? Bahaha
I am loving the historical features on this channel, factual, and non political. Love the old Byrd farm is being saved. Good content for everyone, with fun thrown in at times too. Continued success to all in your adventures.
Those roads sure looked uneven!! My stomach lurched every time you went over a bumpy patch of road and your jeep jolted!! BEAUTIFUL greenery all around!! XXXX 👍♥️
Ya'll scare me to death going through that high grass and briars, but I really would have liked to have seen if that had been an old homesite!!! I laugh every time ya'll hit a rough spot in the road, but I know how much fun you were having!!!! Enjoyed the ride....keep it up!
Having sciatica I felt every bump during that ride ! Creek beds are a lot of times good clues to where there was homesteads , when the banks washout in the spring time remnants of old glass and pottery appear and if lucky enough find old bottles intact .
@@hell0hkitty the only thing that does give me some relief is my inversion teeter table , only time I don’t feel the pain , but I can’t hang upside down all the time
This adventure reminds me of when my uncle took me to find the graves of my great-great-great-grandparents, who are buried on their old homestead in Mississippi. (No structures remain.) We carried a big stick and a gun for snakes and walked through thick growth and underbrush to get there, like in this video. The dirt was also red like this. My great-great-great-grandpa has a DAR marker on his grave and there is a DAR chapter named after him. He was born in Virginia, was a very young member of the Virginia Militia and participated in the Revolutionary War. According to his handwritten autobiography, he was present when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. He moved to Georgia and later made his way to Covington County, Mississippi, where he farmed and raised a large family (10 children) and was pastor/founder of two churches still in existence today. There is a lot of info online: Norvell Robertson Sr. Wish I knew more about his time in Georgia, Warren County, I believe.
Hey Dan, when you asked Robert what did he think about the briar patch and the trees, I was thinking you each needed a machete, a nice sharp one. Whack that stuff down and investigate the trees. The photography is wonderful. I liked that second or two flashing to the hunters' stand (which I think is cheating).
There's a patch of Polk Salad in my backyard, along the fence line. I like it with Scrambled Eggs like Italian Spinach. You must be careful in preparation: the stalks are toxic, this is why it's picked young and scalded 3 times, pouring water off each time, then I stir fry in olive oil and add cool, add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, then scrambled eggs. .Serve with White Beans, Cornbread, and Ice Tea. Yep The Cherokee use to cook the stalks like fried Okra, but I don't know how they took out the toxins, I wouldn't attempt that one. They used the berries for dye. They are Powerful poison.
Great video Robert 👍. The creek looks pretty and eerie at the same time. Poor Scott was just bouncing away in the back seat 😂. Nice jacket you have in the Jeep.
I work with a plywood mill and weigh the log trucks in and out. Now I understand why they have told me how rough the roads are into the woods and they sometimes drive several miles into the woods to be loads! Fascinating!
I just loved this video - I felt like I was really on a Sunday Drive through the back roads of Georgia (or a Jeep Commercial!). I love Georgia - Thanks for taking us along and please go back in the Winter to take another look!
I live in northwest GA. I love going to cemeteries and used to drag my son with me. There is a cemetery in Rossville that I have driven past for years. (Ever since I moved here) I thought it was just a bunch of tree stumps but it is the Rossville cemetery. The headstones are tiny. Have you seen any others cemeteries like this??? Love your broadcast.
Hey y'all.🙋🏼♀️ From our vantage point y'all were all bobbing around. Like Aaron says .. Shake, rattle & roll!! 😉 Dan has a great idea on dipping a white shirt in the Georgia red clay dust & water .. let it sit overnight & wallah .. that Georgia clay ain't washin out for a long while. You could put any back road Georgia town name on it .. that clay is all over here. Now we're actually spose to get rain tomorrow (wed) after having a really good rain yesterday (mon). Certainly do need the rain. Y'all b safe😊☮️
So much fun!!! Thank you for sharing y'alls adventures into finding history! Hey, Robert love the jacket on the back of your chair!! Lol! Great way to be prepared for all occasions! Lookin pretty spiffy in that suit jacket! Ha!
Yahoo...e-ticket ride at Disneyland!...When I was first married, 1971, I took my newleywed husband back to North Dakota to meet the relatives. Many of the County roads were not paved, but were graded and maintained. Dusty roads. My husband made many jokes about the "stage coach trails"! (They have since been paved!)---One year, I visite a school friend in NW Arkansas, & we visited a cave that sold colored T-shirts like you described using the clay there!
This is one of my favorite types of videos because of the backseat camera angle. On a large screen, it really feels like you are riding along. I miss my road trips!
As always Robert you deliver, we are enjoying your trips to discover the past and Dan and Scott are very nice people. You all love what you are doing and it shows. Some of the roads you all go down are crazy. Hope the other Robert is doing good, we miss seeing him and you together. Thanks for the great adventures.
I can appreciate yall not wanting to go through the briars, but I was really hoping you had a machete with you, lol. I wanted to see what was over there by the big trees.
I still eat Polk Salad! Love it fried with egg, pick it while it is young and tender, boil it three times drained in between each boil, then squeeze all water out, sauté onion in a little oil and add Polk salad and add a couple eggs cook until egg is scrambled and cooked. Yummy!
Gone with hardly a trace...seems sad but thinking about so went many a soul on earth. They talk about now living a minimal lifestyle...it was more possible for those long ago. You just proved it. We are just strangers in a strange land. Poor wayfaring stranger. Be careful on your adventures. Love from KY. Oh by the way our house is under contract. Closing date next month.😊💞💞
Men were a tougher breed back in those days. I heard one of you say " I dont know how they did it". Farming back then. I can testify as my family were farmers all the way back into the late 1700's and fought in both wars. Todays man just writes a check for whatever he wants while he is sitting in his air conditioned office as he helps decide who's property to go after next. Regards from Ody Slim
? Who the hell likes them? While we are out running around we are not allowed to say that word (the "S" word). We have more than our share of Timberbacks, Copperheads, and Cottonmouths here in GA. With that said we have our share of good snakes (if there is such a thing) Rat, Garder, Green, and the awesome snake eating King Snake.
Awesome 😎 Hey just off the wall question something I heard on RUclips. There is a guy on here called Cemetery Man that says Lady Bugs bite. I've never had that interaction with one, I'm 65 years old. Have any of you guys ever been bitten by a Lady Bug 🤔
There are actually Asian beetles that look like ladybugs but they have white on their head, unlike normal ladybugs. They do bite, I speak from experience lol
Thank You ladies, I told him it could have been a Bean Bug they are similar looking but brown. He's telling me I'm full of it, said he's been bit many times. I just don't believe it was a lady Bug.
Not only are Ladybugs considered good luck, they're extremely beneficial to farmers. They hunt and eat bad bugs (whitefly, aphids and others). Some farms import Ladybugs for their crops to reduce chemical spray. By the way, after farming for many years I have never been bitten by one and will never harm one. It's bad luck!
I'm sure glad you fellas knew where you were on that map, 'cause I was lost as a butter bean in a kudzu patch. The dust storm is no joke. You don't want to live on an old gravel road without having well sealed windows and doors, and even then, it manages to get inside the house all over everything. You fellas probably shook a few kidney stones around on that ride.
Down in Louisiana Where the alligator grows so mean Lives a little girl That I swear to the world Make the alligator look tame Poke salad Annie Gator got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Cause her Mama was a working On a chain gang... I can hear Elvis right now.
I have traced my Slave ancestors to Prattsburg, Talbot County, Georgia. Is there a Plantation with the Sirname of PARKER? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
That run, fresh water fairly clear, in the shadows I can see natives stopping to hunt a bit and splash some water on themselves to cool off. Some decades later I can see enslaved people doing the same, maybe washing some clothes in the privacy of the ferns, maybe stopping for water on their way to freedom. Perhaps water was brought from that stream to make bricks that were needed for building purposes. Perhaps the milch cows were brought there for water. This is not a lazy stream. It has seen much activity.
I love dogs. I really do. But jumping a fence in a bad part of town to save a chained down that could even be aggressive itself is a good way to get shot
I noticed your dress jacket hanging on your seat. Good jacket. It a little disappointing after all the work you do to get permission from all the land owners. But it was worth the drive. Home plants don't lie.

Robert...if only we had a few million more youngins like you!! I bet Dan loves every minute of these excursions.
Yeah I'd like to go with them on a couple
Yesteryear. It's sad how things go away. Either burnt torn down or mother nature and age removes it. I think what you are doing is great. This way it won't be lost forever. You do have some pretty country back there. Thanks guys
You need to get a drone! You could easily get past the briar patches and maybe get a bit of a look see.
Excellent suggestion!
Seriously!!
Yeah I think they could do with a drone
Y'all are so good at finding Graves and old home places. Love riding along with handsome men. I hope y'all have snake boots. My parents still eat Polk Salad. Robert where'd the pants to that jacket? Bahaha

Just amazing me that Dan retains so much knowledge and history about your Area. With such details.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. The study of history
Me too!!
Those roads sure looked uneven!! My stomach lurched every time you went over a bumpy patch of road and your jeep jolted!!
BEAUTIFUL greenery all around!! XXXX 👍♥️

Having sciatica I felt every bump during that ride ! Creek beds are a lot of times good clues to where there was homesteads , when the banks washout in the spring time remnants of old glass and pottery appear and if lucky enough find old bottles intact .
My late father had back issues with slipped disks, and back surgery. I have sway back and that hurts too. I feel for you, man, I do!
@@dianewilson5516 it’s a nightmare my L4 & L5 are slipped the sciatica is at times unbearable in my leg .
been going thru that since february. nothing more miserable! all the way down the leg and knee. ouch. riding in a bumpy car isn't possible. 😥
@@clayton6499 i can relate. you don't know how to get pain free, sitting, lying down, walking, its a curse.
@@hell0hkitty the only thing that does give me some relief is my inversion teeter table , only time I don’t feel the pain , but I can’t hang upside down all the time
I'm sorry, but I never want Robert's videos to end! Excellent!!
Very interesting

OMG! This is awesome. Crank up Jason Aldean's dirt road anthem or brook and dunn's red dirt road. This is beautiful back roads fun..

The photography is wonderful. I liked that second or two flashing to the hunters' stand (which I think is cheating).
I believe Robert and Dan were having flashbacks of the briar patch in Rough Edge. Having a little post traumatic briar disorder?
Did you by chance, meet Briar Rabbit? I swear it's hotter than a "blue tick" here in Fresno California. Time for some summer fruit 🍑!
There's a patch of Polk Salad in my backyard, along the fence line. I like it with Scrambled Eggs like Italian Spinach.

Mom cooked down the Polk leaves and added scrambled eggs. Very good. I've made it too but hard to find in Florida. Enjoyed the video, thank you.

Hey, Robert love the jacket on the back of your chair!! Lol! Great way to be prepared for all occasions! Lookin pretty spiffy in that suit jacket! Ha!
I felt every bump an loved every minute Thank you Gentlemen
So interesting enjoyed thanks guys
As an Australian, I find the forest travel fascinating.. no gum trees!
Yahoo...e-ticket ride at Disneyland!...When I was first married, 1971, I took my newleywed husband back to North Dakota to meet the relatives.

You brought "THE COAT" !!!!!
🤣 You never know on the backroads, he may need to dress for an occasion on the fly.
I wonder if the pants fit😂
This is one of my favorite types of videos because of the backseat camera angle. On a large screen, it really feels like you are riding along. I miss my road trips!
Love it no forgotten history left behind
I really love your videos so much history comes with all these adventures
As always Robert you deliver, we are enjoying your trips to discover the past and Dan and Scott are very nice people. You all love what you are doing and it shows. Some of the roads you all go down are crazy. Hope the other Robert is doing good, we miss seeing him and you together. Thanks for the great adventures.
That would be so much fun to go on a ride along. I enjoy all your adventures.
I can appreciate yall not wanting to go through the briars, but I was really hoping you had a machete with you, lol. I wanted to see what was over there by the big trees.
Fascinating to hear Dan relate the history as it appears on the screen. Great treck.
I LOVE your show and the story's hi from Vermont
I still eat Polk Salad! Love it fried with egg, pick it while it is young and tender, boil it three times drained in between each boil, then squeeze all water out, sauté onion in a little oil and add Polk salad and add a couple eggs cook until egg is scrambled and cooked. Yummy!
Thank you boys, loved the ride along. ❤️🇨🇦
I have a suggestion for yall, you might try a drone in these thick areas. keep up the good work.
I do this alot back in my part of the world, I/we ride around with a 410 shotgun,plugging grouse and quail along the way. Good fun.
Thanks for the ride
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Left my comment for this video n the next one.
Gone with hardly a trace...seems sad but thinking about so went many a soul on earth. They talk about now living a minimal lifestyle...it was more possible for those long ago. You just proved it. We are just strangers in a strange land. Poor wayfaring stranger. Be careful on your adventures. Love from KY. Oh by the way our house is under contract. Closing date next month.😊💞💞
Hi! You all need a drone to try and “see” what might be a ways away without walking through the stickers and briars.
I’m not a woodsman, I’m a desert rat but I sure love this show.
Me too! I've lived in Death Valley twice. You can never get the desert out of your blood!
Poke salads great my wife's grandmother Cooks it all the time when she can find it
Add a machete to your adventure bag! Along with a whisk broom for tombstone cleaning. That you guys always forget to bring. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks for the drive down that "kidney- killer" road. Glad there was no downpour
Wow, some rough roads!!
Men were a tougher breed back in those days. I heard one of you say " I dont know how they did it". Farming back then.
I can testify as my family were farmers all the way back into the late 1700's and fought in both wars. Todays man just

Remember that old song ..Polk salad Annie?
Polk salad Annie.A classic.!
Tony Joe White 🎶 Poke Salad Annie🎶
If I went through that grass, I'd be tempted to use hip waders. I hate snakes. Especially ones that bite. In Fresno County, it's mostly rattlers!
? Who the hell likes them? While we are out running around we are not allowed to say that word (the "S" word). We have more than our share of Timberbacks, Copperheads, and Cottonmouths here in GA. With that said we have our share of good snakes (if there is such a thing) Rat, Garder, Green, and the awesome snake eating King Snake.
Does that Jeep have front and rear lockers?
That is such a rough road. It’s hard to believe that people lived way out there so far from everything. How did they ever get into town?
I eat poke salad my aunt use to cook it 😋
Awesome 😎 Hey just off the wall question something I heard on RUclips. There is a guy on here called Cemetery Man that says Lady Bugs bite. I've never had that interaction with one, I'm 65 years old. Have any of you guys ever been bitten by a Lady Bug 🤔
I'm nearly 66...and nope, we used to play with them everyday when we were kids.
There are actually Asian beetles that look like ladybugs but they have white on their head, unlike normal ladybugs. They do bite, I speak from experience lol
Thank You ladies, I told him it could have been a Bean Bug they are similar looking but brown. He's telling me I'm full of it, said he's been bit many times. I just don't believe it was a lady Bug.

Some farms import Ladybugs for their crops to reduce chemical spray. By the way, after farming for many years I have never been bitten by one and will never harm one. It's bad luck!
That's how I am I don't harm them, I will take them over and place them on a flower or a bush. I told him that they were a good omen 🌹
Are you not allowed to use a machete' or hedge clippers to make a path through the briar patches?
I still fix Polk salad,with fried green onions and scrambled eggs,good old pinto beans and cornbread,iced tea.🤗Thanks guys.❤️
This channel Has grown like crazy when I first subscribers have 13 thousand followers now 108 thousand followers 👏👏
A tribute to Robert, he's an amazing young man for sure!!
you need a drone to fly over that thick stuff.
I'm sure glad you fellas knew where you were on that map, 'cause I was lost as a butter bean in a kudzu patch. The dust storm is no joke. You don't want to live on an old gravel road without having well sealed windows and doors, and even then, it manages to get inside the house all over everything. You fellas probably shook a few kidney stones around on that ride.
Oh come on boys. Don't let a few briars stop ya. When I was a boy, I learned that the best place to hide was in a briar patch. Used it a couple times.
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligator grows so mean
Lives a little girl
That I swear to the world
Make the alligator look tame
Poke salad Annie
Gator got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her Mama was a working
On a chain gang...
I can hear Elvis right now.
You guys really need a drone. No use blazing through briars if you don't have to. Even if it's off camera to find paths and hidden targets.
Robert why did your keep beeping??
Seat belt alarm i think
Yes It's Going A Way Fast
come back in Winter with a Machete. Wow if I was Scott and riding in the back, I'd be so car sick.
Better than walking.
Dont you guys worry about snakes walking thru that high brush?
I have traced my Slave ancestors to Prattsburg, Talbot County, Georgia. Is there a Plantation with the Sirname of PARKER? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
would be a great time to use a drone, such a better view and less briar patches to deal with,lol
polk salet is big in Arkansas where I was raised my mom is 82 and loves I myself can't stand it.
So that song about Poke Salad Annie is true??? 😆
That run, fresh water fairly clear, in the shadows I can see natives stopping to hunt a bit and splash some water on themselves to cool off. Some decades later I can see enslaved people doing the same, maybe washing some clothes in the privacy of the ferns, maybe stopping for water on their way to freedom. Perhaps water was brought from that stream to make bricks that were needed for building purposes. Perhaps the milch cows were brought there for water. This is not a lazy stream. It has seen much activity.
Drone
I thought you had a drone?
to bad you didn't have a old drone to help you out . Often it would see more then you do and go through bramble without having to walk through them
Hey Mr Dan
Men, don't leave a chained dog to suffer. Rescue it.
I love dogs. I really do. But jumping a fence in a bad part of town to save a chained down that could even be aggressive itself is a good way to get shot
@@AdventuresIntoHistory Second that.
Really sad !
nothing like a ride through the boonies!
I noticed your dress jacket hanging on your seat. Good jacket.
It a little disappointing after all the work you do to get permission from all the land owners. But it was worth the drive. Home plants don't lie.
I hope you reported the dog to animal control. That's awful it was on a short chain and couldn't hardly move.
Why don’t you guys use a drone rather than walking through a briar patch?
Just not the same as having your feet on the ground!
You know you've had fun when you come back bleeding.
Needs editing. Too long
Hope y'all do carry a gun when y'all are out in the woods
you just drove didnt so crap
I feel like that I need to purchase and wear snake boots every time I watch your videos😂
Robert, is the third gentleman who is with you today the owner of the home that you and Robert the Green toured?
