Small suggestion. When you come to a plaque, pause for enough time to read it, and then allow some time to see beyond it and take it all in and seeing what the plaque is referencing. JD does a pretty good job with his filming skills. Looking forward to enjoying your channel.
I have to tell you that it is only through your videos that I have seen the artifacts you show. My life hasn't been one with much travel and it isn't likely to be in the future, yet I love getting to see these pieces of history. Finding Walk With History was a gift and I want you to know that and to know how deeply you are appreciated.
I am so honored and touched my your comment. I appreciate you being an early supporter and the positive feedback kept us going at times. One of the major motivations for this channel is to bring historic locations to an audience who may have never seen it or had known it existed. You motivate us, Thank you so much.
Jenn and JD are a great history team! Have you guys visited Strafford Hall (Lee Mansion)? George Washington's birthplace is close to this complex. Keep our history alive!!!
So great to see you two team up. I found your channel because of JD. The two BEST channels on RUclips. And the two BEST teachers of history. Hope to see you two team up again
@@steveshipkie1624 We do have channel memberships and a patreon page...but we know that is not an option for many folks. Honestly we just appreciate your support and contributions to the community. 😊
I watched the Tour with JD and it was Excellent. Thank God the Union didn't burn the building down. What a piece of Real Estate with such a tremendous view. I never knew about the Washington connection or the dedicated spot for Nurses. Love the Washington Campaign Tents & honor bestowed upon Selina Grey. Can never forget the Women who Serve. Just look at any organization and/or group. Thanks.
I have been to Arlington House probably 6 times in the past. I always visit it when I am in that area. You can feel the love in the house whenever you are there. The first time I visited the house, I looked from the greenhouse into the office/study of Lee and his father-in-law, GWP Custis, and got an overwhelming feeling of emotion that startled me. I read that the office was the favorite room of Custis, and I could see why. It makes the perfect cozy office with a little wood stove and a window that looks directly into the beloved gardens.
@@WalkwithHistory Hi, yes, I always pay my respects to GWP Custis and his wife, who are buried about 100 yards from the back of the house among the other military graves. There is an iron fence surrounding his and his wife's graves to distinguish them from the rest. The infamous Montgomery Meigs and his son are buried not too far from there. Meigs blamed Lee for the death of his son, but his son didn't die in any of Lee's battles. The sad part is that the house belonged to Lee's wife and not him. Lee was on the road most of the time, so he wasn't there a lot. I love that house. It is a house I would build; I think it is perfect!
In my 21 years in the military at first my career field, computer maintenance was closed to women. The first woman in my shop at Griffiss AFB, NY, was Anna Muench. She sure had a tough assignment "housebreaking" us guys. She did it the right way. She became a welcome part of the team. She joined us in both the shop bowling team and one year the Squadron team. You are still warmly remembered. Another three from my MI Army National Guard time are Katrina Golab who was our Signal Company's "Radar O'Rielly. She was a master of paperwork. As we say, "No job is done until the paperwork is done." She got so much done with grace and humor. The other is Karen who I met after serving in Iraq. We fell in love and are still together. The last is Lynn Zamora. She and I became friends during our time in Iraq. When either of us were having a tough time, we could always trust the other for a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on, even just a warm smile when meeting. Thanks to these and others that made serving a better time.
I love all these stories. The truth is women in the military have served right beside the men and the best ones just did the job no concessions needed. I fell in love with Scott on our deployment on the USS Tarawa. We did not get married till I got out of the military and now we follow from duty station to duty station. Thank you for your service and your feedback. We appreciate it all
@@WalkwithHistory Something I have learned, being a military wife, or now spouse, is one of the toughest jobs in or out of the military. Thanks to both you for your continuing service. Thanks to my studies of military history, I surprised two Navy Officers in Iraq when this MI Army National Guard Sergeant was able to address them by their correct rank. I will admit that I need a quick moment to think before speaking! It sure ain't a reflex! I will share a funny story. While stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD, a female Sergeant in my Squadron gave birth and was in the base hospital. I went to see her for a quick visit. I was ready to leave when a nurse came in with an ice pack and asked me to leave as she was going to give a treatment. My crazy humor kicked in. Seeing the ice pack, I got a "shocked" look on my face and stated, "And just how fast did that poor baby come flying out of there anyways?" The nurse collapsed on the bed lying on the new Mom's legs laughing as she plopped the ice pack on the Mom's crotch area. The new Mom was also busting out laughing. I quickly left so the "treatment" could "continue".
Followed you over from History Underground. Enjoyed the earlier video on History Underground and more of that here. Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to catching up.
The general in charge of military burials was a "friend" of Gen. Lee. He decided that he would "teach Gen Lee a lesson and make him pay for fighting for his family and state against invading yankee hordes.
Great show and nice stop collaborate and made me listen (some nilla ice ) enjoy your channel! Ex-Navy Stationed at NASNI in Heliantisubron 8 on The Connie CV-64 in mid 80’s ! Back when crossing the equator was truly a day of dread , but fun when complete! Keep up the great work
@@WalkwithHistory loved my Navy days! Met my wife in Mexican Village restaurant and dance club in 10/24/86 and still together. But had to cut short my career cause of it! Great choice for me…..🤔🤷♂️😂😂 It was the best choice!
Just watched History Underground and followed over to your channel. Great collab with J.D., great tour of Arlington House and look forward to ‘walk history’ with you!
You guys are awesome i really love history and wish i would have took that as my field of study but had to think of my family and study business. I am so glad to see your videos. Anything on Abraham Lincoln and John Wilks Booth. I was at Fords Theater and saw some stuff
We have a great video about the Night Lincoln was assassinated and we go to the locations related to VP Johnson and Sec of State Seaward. We even take you on Fort McNair where the conspirators were hanged. Then we have a video from Dr Mudd’s House and his grave.
Great to see the collaboration of two terrific channels on history. Always very interesting. Have been to Arlington only once just for a day. On my bucket list to come back one day for an extended stay in Washington DC . Unfortunately a long way from Western Australia.
@@WalkwithHistory Hi Jenn. That's great you got to visit Broome & Darwin. The US Navy has always regarded W.A. as a good region for R & R. Two great spots. Hope you both had a good time. Do you have plans to come back one day to our great state of W.A.
You guys should check out are recent heroes. One being Ronald Shurer who received the Congressional medal of honor for saving a lot of lives in battle. he was featured on national Geographic for a battle were he saved Dillon Behr and others but he didn't get honored till 2020 by Trump . i met both guys in person when i was doing medical boards for the Army and i will tell you it was incredible stories. I didn't know till 7 years later about the battle and what happened to injure Dillon and it was incredible that these guys made it out
Wow. So earlier I watched History Underground's video of Arlington House and the women of Arlington. Both this and that video were extra great. Your style is different than his so seeing both of them together made the learning about this place even more better :). I have subscribed!
I have been to Normandy and the cemetery there American cemetery awesome place Omaha Beach just awesome Utah Beach all those are just I'd go back in a heartbeat but before that I'd love to go to Arlington national cemetery
I was at Arlington National Cemetary in April 1967. It was part of a trip my parents promised us. I am big into the manned space flights back then and still today. We found with difficulty the graves of Virgil, "Gus" Grissom and Roger Chaffee. They were killed in the Apollo 1 flash fire in January of 1967. I got to serve at Grissom AFB, IN, 1977-80. Gus has become kind of a hero to me. During our time in DC, we did many things including walking around in the US Capital Building. We found ourselves in the office of the House Minority Leaders office. We were treated very nicely. Somewhere I have a picture of myself and my brother sitting at his desk. You know this Representative now as President Ford. If you two ever get to Michigan, there is some history, I would enjoy showing and sharing with you.
Lee’s pardon was not denied, it was lost and never acted on. Secretary of State Seward received it and thinking he was receiving a courtesy copy gave it to a friend as a memento.
We copied that information from the NPS website, but we researched your comment and per the National Archives Website you are correct. We strive to provide the most accurate information to our viewers and we will enter a fact check correction in the video description. Thank you for the feedback!!!!
Her family continued to live at Arlington House for several years. Her children were pivotal in the restoration of the building in the 1920s and 1930s; two of her daughters assisted the War Department with the restoration of the house. The house where they lived as enslaved people has been restored by the National Park Service which we showed in the video. She and her family bought a 10-acre property in Green Valley, Virginia where they grew and sold vegetables and lived the rest of their lives. She died in 1907. One of her sons, Harry, became a skilled mason and worked with the Department of the Interior. His house, the Harry W. Gray House, is on the National Register of Historic Places. His grandson, Thornton H. Gray, was a lawyer who fought with the U.S. Army in World War I, died in 1943, and is buried in Arlington Cemetery.

Her children were pivotal in the restoration of the building in the 1920s and 1930s; two of her daughters assisted the War Department with the restoration of the house. The house where they lived as enslaved people has been restored by the National Park Service which we showed in the video.

His grandson, Thornton H. Gray, was a lawyer who fought with the U.S. Army in World War I, died in 1943, and is buried in Arlington Cemetery.
