Been living here since the 1970’s. I love your stuff. Everywhere we are, we live on the remnants of those who came before but it is fascinating when it hits this close to home. Thanks for all your excellent content!
Back in the 70's I used to run the track that is there in Memorial Park on Sundays. In all honesty I didn't know about the history so thank you very much.
I'm was born and raised in Houston. In Spring Branch, not far from the park. I knew about the riot. But did not know where the camp was located. Knew the Hogg family had bought it.
Racial unrest and a pandemic sounds like 2020. For all that changes sadly much stays the same. I learned so much I didn't know about my own city. Great job!
That is a fascinating history, despite it's being sordid in spots. People were different back then. I see the Memorial Park area very differently now. Thanks for doing all that research and even walking around, finding the foundations and sewer pipes.
My great great grandfather was at Camp at the confluence of Sims and Buffalo Bayou. They were horse soldiers, 12Tx.Cav. Would patrol down what became Galveston Road. The ladies of Houston gifted the regiment a flag to have for the Christmas parade of'61. I've seen the flag at the Hillsboro College Confederate Research Center, it's a black St. Andrews Cross with a larger star at the intersection than the rest. No white trim, and the four red triangles. They kept the yankees outta Texas, by fighting in Arkansas &Louisiana!
The best way to find them is to walk under the power lines Northeast of where Memorial crosses them. You can see them from the road/trail that follows the lines - all north of Memorial Dr.

It’s unfortunate that discrimination resulted in so many innocent civilians getting massacred…just a sad story all around.

Hey Scott, I found the water tower and the bridge support as well. I've since made videos on them.
I just watched your video! This is great. I need to get back out there.

I live in Houston and was not aware of this history. 🤔

Another great job Scott, thanks for what you are providing
Dude. Had no idea. Camped here many of a time. Haha.
I really enjoy your videos a lot!!!
Was not Houstons only Military Camp, in the Civil War we had a camp at Brays and Buffalo Bayou for the Confederate Army.

I had no idea about the riot.. Wonder what other history of my hometown I should know that isn't widely known today.
Could you make a video about the abandoned building by the downtown transit center? The one on St Joseph Pkwy between Travis and Milam
Hi Evelyn, I believe the building you're talking about is this one, and yes I should add it to the list!: ruclips.net/video/dMJS1YbkVks/видео.html
Which trail did you use to reach the remnants? I just walked the purple trail all the way to the railroad bridge.
