Interesting. I don’t know how you’re able to hold my attention for so long on such obscure topics. It must be your skilled (and short) questions, and the quality of those persons you interview, as well as their number (just two). I’ve learned a lot, both from your story of the battle of Carlisle, and now of the Battle of Bushy Run. Keep up the good work! Edit: Subscribed.
What a great and interesting documentary ❤ I have been going to Bushy Run for over 50 YEARS! Us girls would ride our bikes out there from Jeannette every Saturday! What fun times❤
@@bradycrytzerofficial isn’t it! I would just like to see the correct History taught in schools and more dedication to the Indian tribes who I believe were the real founders of our Nation! That’s just my opinion anyway! I love that new monument that Bushy Run erected! I pretty much know that battle ground like the back of my hand! Good Luck and maybe someday I’ll be able to give back to that Historic Landmark! You never know ! Hahaha
Congratulations on preserving the site for posterity, and an interesting talk. I was curious as to the downplaying of the role of the 42nd Royal Highlanders, being dismissed as 'done,' when they provided the main element in Bouquet's force and bore the brunt of the fighting suffering most of the casualties- 29 killed and 36 wounded. Bouquet later wrote "their behavior on that obstinat affair does them the highest honor." Presumably that is why a Highlander is represented on the monument. Tradition has exagerated the role of the Royal Americans at Bushy Run. Bouquet recorded only 16 men of the 60th present, although 7 were killed (the Grenadier company mentioned was from the 42nd.
@@bradycrytzerofficial Well, I dont recall there was mention of the regiment after the reference to the rigours of their previous six years' service having left them "done." I am not sure where Mr Giblin got the idea that men were deserting. The regiment arrived from the Caribbean much reduced by sickness but had been consolidated by reduction of the 2nd Battalion and drafting of men from the 77th Hldrs. The men of the Royal Highland Regiment, by contrast with the 'tribal' indigènes of the Ohio and environs, were for the main good Presbyterian Christians and disciplined soldiers of the King, battle hardened and trained to close with the bayonet, but not yet in bush fighting. An illuminating talk in situ
My 6th Great Grandpa Died at the Battle of Bushy Run . He was the only Barrett’s Ranger to Die doing the maneuver to draw in the Indians Grandpa was listed as Joseph Randall but was Really David Randol. Have a copy of the list where he enlisted to Fight!
@@bradycrytzerofficial I have the Enlistment list where David joined Barrett’s Rangers Dated 26th July 1763 and a Court Document that he died at Bushy Run on August 5th. David was killed during feinting maneuver to draw in the French and Indians and was the only Barrett’s Ranger to die that Day. If I had an Email I can send it to you. David’s Son Enos and Grandson Pvt. David fought in the Revolutionary War.
@@bradycrytzerofficial Aye, just checked again. Giblin the "expert" on the battle called the Scottish soldiers "English" come on , it's basic should get that right.
@@bradycrytzerofficial Just listened again. He is clearly talking about the statue which is of a Scottish soldier and he calls him English. I'm sure he is an expert but it's a lazy mistake. You got it right in the title .
@@rosslamore3099 Bushy Run was historic because it was the only time that a purely European force ever defeated a purely native force. Be sure to watch the video to gain a full understanding of the battle.
Really, @@bradycrytzerofficial, I had understood the Texas Rangers (among others) made something of a habit of it! (A wholly European force defeating a wholly indigenous force.) Or maybe that's kverlooking Tonto. I note the characterization of the Highlanders as being 'good Christian men' (don't recall if 'protestant' was specified, but...) Also the elaboration about how by that time most native Americans had moved west of Pittsburg... These days that's called 'ethnic cleansing', just saying.
Nice work integrating the Bushy Run story into historical perspective.
Great Job. Many Thanks.

Thank you sir! I appreciate you’re kind words. I think the material is so interesting, it gets a hold you!

Thanks! It’s such a special place for so many reasons!

I don’t think they were downplayed…if they were, they shouldn’t have been. This was a battle between tribal peoples, the Ohioans and the Highlanders

20:17 I think he means "Wolfe ends it all in '59" (Quebec) or "Amherst ends it all in '60" (Montreal)
Im glad that the french are given the credit they deserve as traders and not conquers.
Empire is complicated, we make it too simple
Will the talk from 3/19/22 at bushy run be posted? Or was that not filmed
Did he really just say "native English" Scottish soldiers what an insult.
@@TheGaloglas 😮

the 60th Regiment was also present. Maybe he was referencing them. I promise you Jack is a true expert.

Native defeat was good because... reasons!

@bradycrytzerofficial not true. Maybe you should study more than western PA.
@@jamesreid6494it's not ethic cleansing. It's called bring civilization to the wilds, which means dangerous animals must be removed.
