All of those hyper-educated people and they’re wearing shorts in known tic infested land…really?

They usually don't find much where early military camps were built. The buildings would either be taken over by squatters or dismantled by local residents for building materials. They would go thru the trash heaps to remove recyclable material (metal, glass, buttons, buckles).

I don't have a clue what would lead six idiots to give this a thumbs down, but they do have to be idiots. This is fascinating. I want to learn more about this cantonment. Finding this video reminded me of the early 70s, when there were at least two years they had at the Mississippi Palisades State Park something called General Grant's Civil War Cantonment. I went to one of them, I think it was the second time they did it...and I can't find any evidence it continued after the second one. They had some fun competitions for children...and I won the egg in spoon race. During the same general time period, we also visited Cave in Rock and a bunch of other parts of Illinois...which brings me to ask--how close is it to Cave in Rock?

Some of my Bollinger ancestors crossed into Missouri on New Year's Day 1800 at Ste. Genevieve and settled in the Whitewater area of what is now Bollinger County. The Mississippi River was frozen over and they cautiously crossed over the ice at Ste. Genevieve, Mo.

Where can I find more of these videos ? I’ve watched everything on your channel

the big takeaway kind of got skipped over but it bears repeating. Military leaders lying to the President is as old as the nation. It did not start in Korea, or Viet Nam, or Syria. It started at the beginning. This key fault in our system is worrying in an age when weapons can strike anywhere on earth from anywhere.

Ground penetrating radar .

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing

I wonder why they didn't use a drone with LIDAR to identify the outlines of buildings and other shapes?

Hey! Get a metal detector.

Thank you very much for producing this. Wilkinsonville has fascinated me ever since I read about the archaeological dig in the Evansville newspaper in the mid 2000s. How close was the encampment in proximity to Colonel Strong's marker on Tick Ridge Road?

Missed the covert operation by a worthy LT from Ft Knox on the Wabash..the military established this secret operation to explore the French territory..1780s..Post on the Wabash..letters from Major Hamtramk

I live near here.....I need more places to detect

Here in the Mid West. We have a hard time seeing ourselves as the American Frontier and that for a time, America only went as far as the Mississippi. Most of it was still inhabited by the many Indian Tribes. A very interesting video. Thanks!

How ironic the town is named Equality, huh?

My wifes families are from there

All the experts in the comments!

Rich, It’s good to see your work again. This is an excellent story. I hope to see more.

They should have fixed that railing on the second floor instead of digging up rocks and junk in the yard. Should have left the soil in place,I wonder if there are erosion problems today?oh well somebody spent there grant money so they will get more in the following year.

Use LIDAR!

Thank you

We were driving back from the Garden of the Gods and were just exploring and stumbled upon this property a few years ago. We did some googling and were fascinated with what we found on the property.

Left out alot

Thank you

It never hurts to have a giant around.

I visited Vicksburg, Mississippi during their Tricentennial celebration. They have the "VICKSBURG NATIONAL MEMORIAL PARK" in which they have the "USS CAIRO MUSEUM". They have a civil war battleship built in CAIRO, IL. It was there that they explained that the correct pronunciation of CAIRO is actually "CARE - OH". It seems that "CARE-OH" built war ships for the Union Army during the Civil War. It was quite interesting. Anyone from "CARE - OH" should visit the museum given the opportunity.

I know of at least one in Franklin County Illinois.

With that house and Bob, I would next expect to see Django come riding up on his horse

Did he say “slave breeding”? My mind goes to terrible places there. Is this a formal way to say raping until pregnant?

It's funny that they would make anything for Wilkinson, because as history has proven that even though he was in command of the U.S. Army he was also Spanish Agent 13 who was in cahoots with Spain in their efforts to keep the United States from expanding West of the Mississippi, he was also complicit in Aaron Burrs plans to split the area West of the Alleghenys into a separate country in one of his more perfidous acts, he sold out the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Spanish, who dispatched troops, to capture and kill them, as invaders, but said troops failed being unable to find them.

Mr. Bell's business did my father's headstone and it is beautiful.

So are you gonna skip over 1909?

Interesting video

That’s amazing but look at Cairo now who would have thought

The annoying piano playing behind the dialog is so annoying. Why do people do this? Interesting video though.

Lol my grear grandma is vina Crenshaw daughter of Gideon Crenshaw n my great grandfather Ike Oliver Crenshaw son of Abraham. Ike and vina

Always heartbreaking for those left behind . More than 30 years since my sister passed , it seems surreal that when someone dies young the perpetual question is "what if "??

I am so sorry about you’re loss rest in peace to your father

Thank you for sharing.

Thank all the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice…. We’re defenseless without them

Love you brother Semper Fi

Thank you so much for sharing this most fascinating and educational video about the discoid grave markers. Sharing here is my blog post, where I also included a link to this video, about 3 small discoid shaped markers at an Ohio cemetery.: limesstones.blogspot.com/2024/01/taking-look-at-discoid-markers-aka-ring.html

Did i see they got some funds to remodel the house ??? Im posting on 01/02/2024... Thanks for any information, we went on a school field trip back in the early 80's to the house...

This is the first I'm hearing about this tragedy. I'm glad the boys finally got a memorial.
