I am so grateful I somehow happened to find your channel. Such quality content that pleases & entertains me; thank you...

Some people have terrible nightmares...which they awake from in sweats. Others have had to 'live' nightmares, and one can only wonder on the 'why' of it all! As much as we can 'reenact' what it would have been like...there is no possibility of living with the same realities in their minds. For 'we' can always escape to comfort(s) when we've had enough suffering. I can only wonder at the horrors they watched and how 'any' survived. There are the 'comfortable ones' who prosper from war and then...all the poor pawns needed to act the tragedy out! Thank you Emperor Peter for the 'wee bit' and Empress Catherine for the lovely filming. Seems you have quite a population of coons on hand. And Peter, that turret shot over the pond may have ol' Fred-a-wundrin'..."I hope he shoots clear of my frogs!" "War does not determine who is right - only who is left." (Bertrand Russell). Thanks dear ones...health and blessings! :)

Now look what this country has become.😢

Superbly practical and informative history lesson! ❤

Never got to see how the final squirl stew turned out???

Can you discuss how swords were made?

I think this is what bothers me most when I see kids today crying about how oppressed they are all the while sitting in the comforts of their dorms or parents homes or wherever . It is appalling to me that one could be so tragically ignorant of the true sacrifices and suffering that so many willfully endured so that we could have these freedoms today .

A third of the population left, theft of land and houses, like bosnia or azerbaijan or turkey

Lovely video! Thank you for sharing Ron and Justine's wedding with us, along with the beauty of Missouri.

Thanks for sharing 😊

You should have known a Scot like me would know who said I - Robbie Burns.

The mandolin in the background music has a tone of a modern F or A style, which sounds anachronistic to me. It does give that old world folk melody vibe of course, but I would suggest a roundback mandolin, a fife, or a violin for music of this time and place.

Of mice and men, old boy😊

I am just glad that I don’t have to fetch some water from the creek or draw it from the well in order to make a pot of coffee. Let alone having to grind up the coffee beans in order to make a pot of coffee. I just scoop it out of the coffe can into the filter, add 12 cups of water and turn the pot on. Not to mention having to build a fire. I have done it the old fashioned way many times while hunting or camping and it sure takes longer than nine minutes, the time it takes inmy coffee maker.😅

What has always been surprising to me is that American was founded during the peaks of the Little Ice Age (1300-1815). I wonder how global warming and environmental concepts would have sold at Valley Forge or Morristown? Not very well, I think! Both my wife and I had ancestors and family at both of those locations. One of hers was Washington’s doctor, a Waldo. Those were tough folks. They had to be in order to survive as they did.

It is not surprising that politicians screw veterans and members of the armed forces, because they support more social causes and mundane concepts because these help their benevolent images. Except for Presidents, like Harry and Dwight, because they were veterans. Surprisingly, non veteran Presidents like Ronnie and Sir Donald helped the military and veterans far more than some veteran politicians, like both George’s and Jimmy. Slick Willie balanced the budget on the backs of the veterans and the military.

I used to use plastic wads in my black powder 12 gauge shotgun. I shot a lot of trap and skeet in those days, so I had a lot of 12AA plastic wads and they worked fine and were a lot easier to load than fiber wads.

Read Joseph Plumb Martin for an account of what it was like serving in the army…. As an aside, I grew up about twenty minutes from Morristown, New Jersey. Jockey Hollow is an amazing place to see. The Hudson River froze solid that winter.

The Patriot prisoners were the "enemy combatants"of their time, with the rights enjoyed by Guantanamo inmates of today.

Howdy y'all, from deep in the heart of Texas, just wanted to say how much we enjoy your videos, thank you, and God bless.

The Irish in North America surely must have welcomed any opportunity to fight the English.

There were many Loyalists whose economic background and business knowledge was instrumental in building the Canadian economy. Especially New Brunswick.

This war was waged, to a very large degree, on the civilian population. It's not difficult to understand the harsh feelings held by the Patriots for the Loyalists , considering the raids by Brant and Butler's Rangers on the population of both the Mohawk and Cherry valleys. Men women and children were slaughtered, farms burnt, and fields destroyed. In the year of 1777 , in the Mohawk valley alone, there is documentation of 63 homes, 57 barns 3 grist mills, 62 barracks of wheat, and 87 hay stacks being destroyed. 235 horse, 220 cattle, 269 sheep, and 93 oxen were carried/ driven away to Canada. Much of this destruction was carried out in Fall raids, so that the people left would face a starving winter. Former neighbours, now at each other's throats. This was indeed America's first civil war

Nice swivel gun Peter and Kelly Station sure looks great outside lookin in and yes that's just an awful display of human brutality so long ago lets hope that history doesn't repeat itself in that manner

Another great history lesson Peter for those of us who know nothing about the horrors of that time. Man's inhumanity to man on full display.

they also were proposed to get 2 gils (a day?) of rum with their rations. Most of the time they got their rum rations, but no food rations. Martin has a good story about that where they were marching and most of the guys could hardly get over the split rail fence. As Pvt. Blake says, "the Rev. War was won by drunken teenagers"

Washington fought with the British Army against Canadian forces. He knew well how the King's Army operated.

So enjoy your talks about history. It is easy to forget how truly well we have it because of the sacrifices of those that came before us. Kelly’s Station looks great. My visit with my son quickly became one of my favorite memories. Glad we could play a small part in it. You and Cathy’s work ethic is astounding. Keep up the great work!!

Thank you, Peter, for that bit of history. I sure am quite fond of Kelly’s Station, wish I had one.

A friend of mine in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 actually said it best that, in regards to military might and overall mentality, it could be said that the U.S.🇺🇸 is the son closest to the father🇬🇧. Canada🇨🇦 is the well-behaved first born but Uncle Sam is the rebellious son more like the father in his prime (which the father hates to admit😂).

It’s awesome how much history we’ve learned from your excellent videos. Great videos.

This is fascinated, I've too many patriot ancestors to list here, but i recited their names at blmplaza the night before djt final rally as president 😢

Excellent. My 4th great grandmother Hanna Sipes and her family were labelled Loyalist and driven off their homestead in Susquehanna Territory. Her 3 sons served with Butler's Rangers. She was forced out with her young children and with not much more than the clothes on their back they somehow got to Lachine. I suspect with the help of the folks of the six nations. She spent the rest of the war at Machiche. She married Edwards Stookes there and settled near Niagara after the war. Two of her sons (Jacob and Jonas) settled near Niagara after the war and the third My third Great Grandfather Andrew settled in Matilda TWP, Dundas County. Keep up the great stories. THANK YOU.

Leave it to you for a fair balance of perspective! Huzzah! and thank you! Nice swivel gun, too!

Thank you Peter. Another incredible video.

truly there was inhumanity to go around, in every war. by the way, after practice ,I used your method of sash tying while at Ft. Loudon ,Pa. wasn't wool on wool, but it did pretty good.

There has been uncountable times that people have committed horrors in war. Sometimes when you look a little deeper, there were contributing factors, such as the soldiers keeping them captive may not have had much food either, but often not. As for the British, they never had much of a reputation for treating even their own "allies", such as Canadian soldiers in WW1 for example, any better than the prisoners they kept. In fact I would suggest there was a chivalry with prisoners, where subjects, or worse, traitorous subjects would not merit fair treatment. On the other hand, back then things were different, and they certainly weren’t (or aren’t) the only ones who cared little for human decency. I’m just glad I don’t have to through what those people did.

I believe the 2 nose cap screws are supposed to screw in between barrel and nose cap interior, not screw in from exterior of cap.

Cathy made a wonderful panorama of Kelly's Station with its palisades and supporting buildings.

Regardless of which side if the war they were on, all that were involved suffered in great loss and horrible conditions. Thank you for the wonderful history of both sides.

Times have certainly changed. In most cases any way! War is tough on both sides and each side suffers through as best as they can. I am glad that as a species we have "grown" and realize that isn't the way to treat people. Now to get the individuals to see and understand that it's wrong and we will all be better for it!

Great video and a wee bit of history, keep your powder dry

They didn’t have machine guns in the hands of the people

Great video sir!

Well, Peter, war is and has been a terrible thing!! We haven't learned very much over the years, so sad!! I appreciate all the study you do about the history! Blessings.

I learned about burdock root from playing the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. It's set in the late 19 century, but still is "somewhat" historically accurate.

You've got to wonder how would today's people handle those conditions. Thanks for the history you are able to communicate to us ,where we can actually visualize the happenings of that period. THX

Do u know what it was like for British prisoners

👍great video

Peter as always a great video! We today do not have any appreciation of the trials our for fathers suffered and we get mad when there is no power for A/C.
