.. You didn't give him back that beautiful little hatchet - did you? 🤠

Happy Dominion Day, Peter. I am going to smoke some pork ribs on the Fourth . Our grandson is spending the week with us.

The first real big gold strike in America was at Dalonaga, GA. In the early 1800’s. Some had been found in western NC earlier but not in the same degree as in Dalonaga.

It is gold in them thar hills, old boy!

I told my wife about not storing apples and potatoes near each other and she looked at me like I was a fool. She said she was taught well by her mother and knew that!

I learned cursive in elementary school. They only teach kids enough to be able to fill out their food stamp and welfare applications. In my day teachers taught to the level of the brightest kids in the class and not the dumbest. As you have probably noted I write in the Kings English? I learned it from a little blue book, titled Harbrace’s English grammar, as I remember.

You ought to read Washington’s book on being a gentleman. It has a lot of parables in it.

Is that a .collins Legitimus double bit axe

The Cherokee built log cabins and taught the colonists how to build them. The Shawnee also built log cabins, as I understand. You built things out of what resources you had. Birch bark is only in the extreme northers regions and not in the .south. Plains .pIndians built their teepees from buffalo skins because that is what was available to them.

Don’t count on it - smoke always follows me, no matter where I am around the fire!

You better tie down that support pole to those saplings!

What does the HB stand for on the door to your cabin?

People think cutting down a tree is the tough part but it ain’t. The tough part is limbing and cleaning up the mess. It takes me about 15 minutes to get a big tree on the ground and several hours to clean up the mess and process the tree and I am using big chainsaws.

My great grandfather did of yellow fever in 1884.. his wife had died several days earlier from the same disease. This left my grandfather at age seven without any parents. He would be raised by his older sisters but he had to go to work at a sawmill to bring in the bacon, so to speak. His father was part Indian and had lived through most of the battles of the civil war from Antietam to Appomattox as first sergeant of the Georgia Brigade and had lost four brothers in the war. He was the Sheriff of Charlton County GA when he died at age 48. His wife was of Irish descent- O’Steen.

I understand that you're doing reenactment and history.And I love listening to your historical stories.However I really missed the view of the pond from your cabin😢

DEATH WHIND WAS CRAZY BADAS*.

Do you have trouble with Bindweed in your area? One would think I’m trying to grow it on purpose, the way it plagues my garden.

The trapping out of the Beaver literally changed the landscape of my part of the world(eastern Montana); most of the beaver had been trapped out by the 1880’s, accompanied by strenuous over grazing by cattle and sheep. Then, in 1887, was the blizzard. During that winter, the cattle ate the last of the grass, then ate the sage brush, then they went into the towns and ate the tar paper off the houses, then they died. Then, during the melt off that spring, with no grass and brush to slow the water, and no beaver dams left in the creeks, the thaw literally changed the landscape, cutting the creeks into deep channels, and creating a great deal of erosion issues that persist to this day.

FOLRFIORSCK

I remember watching one of the 3 movies made about the Mad Trapper as a kid, I think it was probably ‘Challenge To Be Free’, because I remember it having a narrator, quite the story!

They went through a lot for this country. Hope it wasn’t in vain!

Unintentional asmr right here

I’m just getting started with my black smithing hobby and this is perfect 👍!!!!

Lovely video. Lovely couple. Truly a step back in time.

You're wrong on the first bit, sir. After Simon fought the man that "stole" his girl, he left home without a weapon or really anything. He gets a rifle from Butler, whose name he took. He also threw Boone at an Indian while he was carrying Boone back to the fort after he was hurt. He later picked Boone back up lol.

Always giving us a new experience with your videos. A Step back in time always. Thank you.

Thanks Peter for those discoveries around us. Any link (web, FB, youtube) to those guys activities? thanks again and happy Canada Day!

As ALWAYS Peter you never disappoint!!! One of my favorite movies has been Last of the Mohicans!!! Love the fight scenes and always seemed the British were ill prepared against the Natives.

Thank you so much for this wonderful historic presentation! My ancestors were Loyalists, they were chased out by the Cherry Valley Massacre and wound up in PEI. My great grandfather emigrated to America in 1900. Many Haydens still live at PEI today, I hope to visit someday. God Bless!

Thank you for sharing that. Very interesting. Was the area where you did your introductory comments near your home? Beautiful setting.

Just found this channel….. it’s like therapy 😊

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful week ahead

As a young man i read a lot about rogers ranger. Some years later, i did ranger school, and yes, the 28 rule was addressed

Hello, my name Is Dennis Carron, my adopted Menominee name is One Wolf, I am a reenactor in southern Missouri, And I spend a lot of my time at Ft. Du Charters in Illinois. I found this video today on You tube and fell in love with it. My Question is I'm Retired now and want to spend more time in reenacting, But more in the living Historian way. How can I get started into this field of interest?

How refreshing this all is giving the state of our country currently.

Please,,, more tomahawk fighting technique!!! the swords are epic. Love it.... but please more tomahawk!!! :)

We must never forget that all of this happened on earth, the same planet we continue to use today.

This is a well thought out presentation. The attention to living history detail is outstanding. A sincere but serious suggestion: 480p is very low resolution for 95% of devices in use today. So the depth of field in this video blurs, tiles and distracts the eye from an otherwise excellent effort. Particularly with a historical walk n talk you want to captivate your audience and hold them. Nonetheless a thumbs up and I’ll watch part 2.

Great video! Absolutely wonderful! I love the American Revolution era! I was very astonished to learn about the Hispanic contribution to the American Revolution! Spain or rather a Spaniard Diego de Gardoqui sent the very first foreign weapons to Marblehead Massachusetts in February of 1775 before the American Revolution began! Spanish weapons, Spanish aid was there before Lexington and Concord, before the Declaration of Independence and before America's so called first and oldest ally France! Spain also paid and funded the Yorktown campaign paying both the French and Continental soldiers who hadn't been paid for several months and years causing several mutinees and also paid and refurbished Degrasse's French fleet allowing Degrasse to travel to both the Chesapeake and later Yorktown which Spain also had a huge role in the military planning of Yorktown which is why the Spanish Ambassador was invited to the Yorktown victory celebration of last year 2023! Spain protected French possessions in the Caribbean allowing Degrasse to travel to his destination freely without worry and it was Spanish General Bernardo de Gálvez who was kind and generous enough to release his own French troops under Spanish command and ALLOWED Degrasse to take them to go reinforce Rochambeau at Yorktown! Bernie didn't have to do that but he was very generous! Spain also sent muskets to Saratoga in coordination with the French in 1777! Unbeknownst to many, Spain also sent weapons and cannons and supplies to the American Colonies inside French ships sailing from France! So when the ships arrived everyone assumed the entire cargo was only French lol! Huge mistake but understandable! (And I'd be remiss not to mention the 20 thousand dollars raised by Haym Salomon for Yorktown) Spain definitely tipped the balance in favor of the American Colonies! Without Spain both France and the 13 Colonies could never have won the war! Not without Spain! No Sir! 🇪🇸

Sounds like you need a chap to come and sit with a gun and pop rabbits? I volunteer my services but getting to you from England may be a problem. Love what you do Sir I can't explain how amazed I am of what you are building, its fantastic.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day

Very good. Lewis actually learned modern special forces training because they still use knife as well as a type of tomawk today. Dance could be considered the equivelant to gymnastics to get a person to move fluid but help with basic cordination. If you remember when you were just hands and feet getting in the way you can see how this would help young ones.

Where are you located and from?

Thank you Peter for this great walk down memory lane. I was last in Fort Selkirk in 1976 and this brought back many fond memories for me. It's good to see that the place is still in good repair.

Very interesting, thank you. This channel is a true way for everyone to visually connect with their ancestry if they choose.

I get the same satisfaction in watching your work as I do with my powder horns. Few people today care about history and the lost ways of earlier craftsmanship.

That was great. Thanks for sharing history in such a fun way. I wish I could traval and see it in person. Love all old things, places

Thank you, that was quite fascinating.

I’m genuinely sorry; but , I can’t see difference in the flags. Maybe you could do a show on history of flags that flew over Kelly’s Station. Or at least would have flown 1720 ish - 1790ish
