I had a stroke 6 years ago. "Traveling" with you gets me "out of the house", enjoying the sight and sounds with you. Thank you. Sincerely, Shirleyann.
Hang in there I know stroke so hard the stroke paralyzed my dad and I took care of him for 6 years God bless
My nephew had a stroke at 12 yrs old, he is now 18 and one side of his body is still stiff
Bless you Shirleyann❤️
I had a stroke at the age of 33 four years ago. My right hand doesn't move but that's it. I want to travel but my pockets won't let me.
He's amazing 👏
I am an 80 year old Southerner. First, I want to thank you for your non judge mental portrayal of us. Second, I wish I could just grab hold of your shirt tail and hang on, so that I could see and hear about all the interesting places you go to and see. Take care, stay safe and well.
Cap there ain’t no way you 80 foo
Well said! I too, travel along vicariously ! I’m a 24/7 caregiver in my home & obviously I don’t get out much, Lamont’s Channel & Urban explorations with Kappy are among my favorites! Kappy explores old abandoned homes & he doesn’t add weird music to his videos, very nice & easy to watch, like Lamont’s are. I love Lamont’s easy going respectful style ! Enjoy!
Wow! 80! Great to see you here! I too enjoy his adventures so much

@@davidgress6535 what? Lol
Loved this one!!!! I’m currently mourning the loss of my cat, Mr. Magoo. He was hospice with cancer for 5 years. They told me 5 years ago to put him down and I refused. He’s ruled our home with an iron fist all this time and only got really sick the day before he passed away. My heart aches but it would have been much more vacant without his love these past 5 years. I have other cats but he was my soul mate and I was his person. And I have his ashes I couldn’t never bare to pour them on the ground. I have given instructions that when I die, all the cats and dogs I’ve rescued and creamated go in my coffin with me.
Thanks Lamont!
I lost my cat 2 weeks ago also 😢my heart is broken 💔 his name was Thomas he was 18yrs
I’m sorry for the losses of your furry loved ones. I lost my kitty back in April after owning him for over 10 years.
He died from kidney cancer after a short fight.
I adopted another lovely boy cat who fills the space in our home and hearts.
@@Marlaina sorry for your loss I'm glad you've found a place in your heart for another furbaby I have 2 more cats to concentrate on but will never forget Thomas ❤
Same here with my pets all cremated and I want them buried with me whether it's a ⚱️ or coffin ⚰️
🥲❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sometimes the markers are buried in the ground. A historic graveyard had seismic done to locate burial placement. An unexpected discovery is that markers were found. Once those upright markers fall over, they are covered over by earth, mud, leaves, etc., quickly.
Sometimes their jewelry are buried in the ground too! 😂 Time for me to get a new job! Lol
True history there, may all rest in peace 🕊️
The best part was when you tested out the swing. I love your ability to be so sweet and innocent.
Just say he turned you on! 😂
Thanks you Lamont at Large
It took me a full year to track down my great grandfather’s grave. That’s because a volunteer made a typo when transcribing his name from original hand-written records to a computer document. But I did find him and I applied to the government for a no-charge military tombstone, free to all veterans, including Confederates. He is now buried in the honored Confederate section of the big cemetery in Columbia, S. C.
I'm from North Yorkshire UK and there's no way I'm getting to the USA so thanks for all you bring and show love your youtubechannels and that your yourself and a genuine bloke
Great job, Lamont! Please do more Civil War cemeteries/battlefields.
Gettysburg PA
Vicksburg would be great!
@@admiralsemmes6939 in going there soon
Lovely tour. May they all Rest in Peace. War is hell...such a sad loss for all involved. 🌹
Lol.. is that any people chalk gravestones? I thought they wanted to keep a strange copy for some reason. Makes more sense now... to read it. Thanks
Agree. For all involved in such situations. Sad for all indeed.
I don’t usually leave comments but let me just say I literally clicked on one video two days ago and I am sooooo hooked on this channel. He does his research and tells amazing stories. I am so fascinated with history which is always forgotten. All I can say is please continue to create content. Thank you.
Hey, Lamont! You’re in my neck of the woods! Welcome!!
The part when you were focused on the swing then cut to you swinging was so funny
This was definitely one of the most interesting videos that you've ever done Lamont! Learned a lot!
I am a black historian with a focus on the USCT (United States Colored Troops) of the Civil War. Most of the black soldiers buried there are from two USCT brigades. Brigadier General Edward Hinks led one of the three divisions of infantry in Smith’s corps which was composed of two brigades of United States Colored Troops (or USCT) led by Colonel John Holman and Colonel Samuel Duncan. Holman’s brigade consisted of two infantry regiments the 1st USCT and the 10th USCT. The 5th Massachusetts Cavalry (this was a unit of black troops) was also attached to his brigade but were ill-prepared for battle. Duncan’s brigade was composed of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 22nd USCT regiments. There were about 3,500 men in Hinks’ division, some of those troops were born into slavery and others had not been.
Have you seen the movie Glory? About 1st black regiment of the civil war , if you haven't you should watch, one of my favorite movies
So basically you’re confirming that it was mostly all White men who died to Free the coloreds from slavery right?? EXACTLY!
Western Marylander here! We have a cemetery with 7-8 Union members of the Colored troops ! Our town was a major Union Medical center for wounded Unions soldiers! AS A railroad town, the B& O railroad would bring wounded soldiers here for treatment!
Henry Louis Gates had a relative Jane Gstes . Jane was a former slave and she actually owned 2 houses about 5 years after the Civil War ! The Gates family are in the process of turning her one homes into an educational center for local students!
Gates
Very cool grave yard and much respect to all the soldiers for their service. Thank u lamont for sharing these spots. Be safe on ur travels.
Which soldiers? What service? The confederacy?
I say much respect to the slaves buried there. Not the volunteer confederates🙄
I enjoyed this video. When you were discussing how primative our surgical techniques were back in the day, it reminded me of my trip around the Thackeray Museum, in St James hospital in Leeds, West Yorkshire England. Sawing of legs without any anesthetic. Doesn't bare thinking about. They actually had a display of anesthetic over time. It's amazing how much techniques have advanced. A must see stop on your UK tour. Thanks again lamont x
Omg the pain would be unbearable. I would want to be so drunk before the procedure
Back in those days they gave you a bottle of Red Eve and 2 or 3 men would hold you down. This is where the Ambulance was used and invented.
I just saw a vid on that place. Very cool.
That would be the swing of charity it was placed for the unknown children in that cemetery
Amazing info! Thnks. 👏
Great tour! Thanks
Hello !!! You’re in my neck of the woods!!! Welcome!!
That was amazing, so much history & the old stove and instruments, thank you Lamont x
Love the swingshot
Love hearing the train! When I was little I would open my bedroom window and put my pillow at the end of the bed. Then I would go to sleep to the trains coming through!
My Mama was buried with her last Boston terrier's ashes.
I love old cemeteries or forgotten ones that people stumble upon while hiking or what have you. My uncle lived in a house that if you went further back in the woods behind it there was a very old abandoned graveyard. Not many headstones so we thought maybe it was a family spot. Couldn't read any of the stones so no idea. Been a long time since I was there and not even sure they exist anymore, which is a shame if they built over it.
If they are still there do some paper rubbings with pencils slanted to one side, be surprised what will show up. We were taught to do them at primary school in the UK. I found charcoal very good when used lightly. Give it a go if still there and isolated, some people can be funny about you doing gravestone rubbings. Our head teacher and teacher had to obtain permission from the head of the church before we could do it..
Fascinating
Good Afternoon Mr. Lamont At Large
Legendary Lamont
Great job sneaking in!! 😂 I’m happy you didn’t get caught!
Me as well
Nice to see you Lamont in one of my favorite states! Virginia also has the BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY. An amazing ride. Hope you are getting rich Lamont!! You deserve every penny!
This is sad these men are War Veterans they need to be remembereded regardless of What side they were on Union or Confederate...they fought with Valor
Confederates? They fought for slavery. Lol
@@amateuratbest8716 Exactly, they were on the very wrong ugly side of history. We don't see modern Germany as a collective praising the Nazis.
@@KAriedoll but you see the Middle east praising Isis and the Taliban.....they are worse than Nazi
Well they were wrong but they were still human like us. Their wrong thinking shouldn’t disqualify them from our sympathies.
That was a great history lesson! And a blessing that you were able to film inside! Great job Lamont!
That was interesting be safe Lamont
Brick stone grave wow
U might want to go to Gettysburg battlefield cemetery! I wouldn’t tour it. Holy ground.🙏🏾🌹❤️😷😇
Western MARYLANDER here! GETTYSBURG is very interesting! So is Antietam battlefield/ Sharpsburg ,MD! I have visited both of these battlefields numerous times! I highly recommend people visit both of these very historic places!
Lamont morning. Awesome video Sir. 🙏🌞
Thank you so much for taking us along today. I loved the tour; incredible cemetery and little house we went into. I felt like I was right there with you. God bless, Lamont…..🌝
Lamont!! You did this video! To go into that museum and did your thing! The door was open! I love this!!
What's up
That was very interesting to see how surgeries were done in the 1800's and during the war with no anesthetic most would have died from the pain, shock and loss of blood. You were lucky to get to go inside that building to see all these things, its a reminder to us all of the history we should not forget.
Love how you start WHAT IS GOING ON "UTUBE" "LAMONT AT LARGE" 🤗😁❤
Me too because he's always at large for sure
LOL me too, I say it along with him :D
It's a beautiful cemetery. Very peaceful. I took my daughter there for a homeschooling field trip. We often take a blanket and have lunch there. Enjoyed this.
Lamont you are a wonderful tour guide! Thank you 😊
Great video Lamont I really enjoyed that thank you so much
Wow! Really awesome video Lamont! Great job! 😁 👍
Great work, Lamont!! 👍 Every time!
What a beautiful cemetery
Stay safe out there Lamont ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Very interesting.👍
Hello Lamont, hi everyone 👋
Hi Lisa Robinson, hope you are well! Hugs all the way from the countryside of England🇬🇧
Excellent Video 👍🏻
You're getting closer to me Lamont. I'm in Richmond, Virginia. I'm not sure if you have been here already or not but if not you should because every city and state have some interesting history to look into. Thank you for your continuous hard work and knowledge of history. Please continue to stay safe and doing this type of work because it suits you very well. I love your videos and am always looking forward to them.
When I lived in Hampton Roads, Norfolk, I always wanted to check out Hollywood Cemetery. I am curious though 2 things: are they ever going to exhume the train and the remains of the men left there and what happened to the dead of the Belle Isle Army Prison? I know Belle Isle is a park now, just creepy.
@@knightsaberami01 honestly I don't think that they ever will remove that bodies since its been so long just building on top of them which indeed is creepy and proves thaT we really do not know the ground we are walking on
I'm in Richmond also. I watched a video he did not too long ago about the train and the tunnel in churchill. It was very good. He also went to Hollywood Cemetary
@@latashaalston4350 that's you in your profile picture
It’s amazing how far we have come medical wise. Great walk and video!
I live about 2 miles from there, and I learned more watching this video then I have in all the years living in Lynchburg.
Outstanding video Lamont I really enjoyed this
Thank you so much for your channel Lamont. I watch every day you are awesome
I'm from Lynchburg. We go there very often. If your still in the area there was a murder that was major news here. The Haysom's they are buried across town and the founder Chapstick is buried in the same graveyard. Also you are only 20min from where the Civil War ended in Appomattox Va. Really enjoy your video's thanks !!
That was awesome
Love it
Thank you so much
Another great video. A lot of history that should never be forgotten there.
Also called City of Seven Hills. Paradise Cove is the Campground in Appomattox, Va just 11 miles from u.
You are not far from Danville VA so if you like very old graves you should come to Green Hill Cemetery here.
Lamont, you are the most compassionate man…. I just love you, and your videos. God bless you, always.
Excellent. Excellent excellent video!!! I love traveling all over with Lamont. He does not pigeon hole his videos to just one thing. This video so informative and so interesting. I had NO idea a place like this existed. A very “different” cemetery to say the least!!
So interesting!!!!!!! Never have seen those very old things! Thank you!
The items you didn't know what they were in the cabinet of the unlocked building are to help aide in childbirth. They are very old forceps. Thanks for your awesome videos and information.
Forceps are still used. 😳
@@absatwell8163 It was used during my birth in 1987.
@@faiza515 Yep used later than that as well.
I think he knew, he said use your imagination 😏.
He knew what they were. And forceps are still used.
That was very interesting! Nice job. Please keep em coming
Wow! I watch you everyday. Can't believe that you're in my city. Born and raised
The first gravesite is known as a false crypt or box tomb. The enclosed section seen does not contain the body. The body is buried in a coffin underneath the ground. The portion seen is placed over the in-ground burial. This type of burial was popular among the upper social class in the early 19th century. The information of who was buried there is found on the flush side if it were to exist. The interesting things one can learn from visiting cemeteries or graveyards. 🤔. Thank you, Lamont, as you always produce interesting, informative, and intriguing videos!
Thank you 😊 for that information
The cemetary looks so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you, Lamont. Safe travels.
I've never known of a rowdy graveyard, you? lol
Thank you for taking the time to show as around the Cemetery and Museum, very beautiful place full of History, things were built to last in them days. All the best. You can be my tour guide any day. Xxx
Omg don't fall messing that swing 🤣 Nice video as always.Have bless weekend.
I was just there love it. Very interesting place may they rip I hope you listen to the videos at each building
Informative and interesting as always, Lamont! Great work!
Interesting. Good story.
Wonderful commentary Lamont... keep up the good work...you are appreciated..
Love this video. I can’t get enough of History. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
Wow! That was an amazing look into the graveyard and that be building. I'm so glad to you were able to get in to show it to his. So fascinating. Thanks lamont
Thank you so much for sharing this. Totally fascinating. 💖
Safe travels Lamont 🙏
If you're in the area of Lynchburg again you should head north to Amherst County and check out the cemetery at Sweet Briar College. Supposedly has a haunted screaming statue.
👋👋 lamont!!!! historic cemetery!!!!! thanks so much for this story!!!!!love ✌☮🕊🏳✌☮🕊 out!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lamont :) I love it there up north so beautiful. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos :) have a happy Halloween 🎃🖤👻
This should be another great one like usual
Born and raised in Lynchburg, VA. I have done this tour many times myself. I’m glad to see it from a different perspective. Great job
My granddaddy and his family are from the Lynchburg area!❤️ such a great area! I hope to attend Liberty University which would be very special to attend because of how close I would be to the area he grew up in! :)
This is a great place to live I raised two daughters who also attended Liberty University but where locals just a quiet little hidden Jewel everybody's friendly very low crime most of the time but people here will help you if you ask or look like you need help
This was a cool video Lamont 👍🏾 watching these videos of yours made me change my mind on my casket. I told my lady don't spend to much on that, but more on my stone. Than I saw that brick grave now I want that too lmao lol. With a window lol Great work Lamont everytime..
Hey Lamont, we were just in Lynchburg today! We live in Southside Virginia. Hope you enjoyed the area. Thanks for all your videos!!
I love the scatter garden idea. Especially for the pets!! NY needs this!! I should buy a small piece of land and do this...I have a few animals ashes I would love to scatter before I die.
I’m sure there’s a spirit of someone who often uses that swing!
Love your historic videos and information Lamont! Please keep it up!!!
May they all be resting in peace🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Oh my gosh, there was a tiny bit of a smile on you at the end! Love it! Very fascinating rooms there! Have a great weekend Lamont :)
thank you for the tour, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well interesting about cemeteries from the past and not having all we have today. Thanks for sharing this video. Great video Lamonte! Yes and you can be our tour guide for sure as I cant travel and grest you got into that place for medical reasons.
This is way cool! I just paid a visit here on the afternoon of Oct 22nd and the morning of Oct 23rd - had hopped off the Blue Ridge Parkway and making my way towards Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore (native NYer). A couple of times I thought of you and a couple other graveyard TH-camrs, wondering if the Old City Cemetery had gotten its due, but too enthralled to kill that afternoon buried in search bars. For anyone wondering, the rows of folding chairs you see throughout the video were set up as part of the graveyard candlelight tours. They were completely sold out through Halloween Sunday. The afternoon I went I also noticed a small wedding party taking outside pictures - the bridesmaid was also riding the oak tree swing. I got the impression that weddings occurred there often, as the overall mood seemed quite celebratory, of life, of the passing of generations, how stories could still be gleaned from the most worn down headstone. Great job!
Yeah I live in Lynchburg my aunt owns a house just below the cemetery it's a street called Harrison Street brick road wrought iron fence beautiful purchased it from the Historical Society for less than $100 but everything has to be done exactly as it was in the day when we remodel still have the carriage house the off-set kitching slave quarters this area was forgotten for a while but people have started it backup
Thank you for this historical vlogging .
That’s cool. Not too far from me. Im appreciative of how respectful you are of history. Its always many shades of grey, never what we see with our 2021 eyes
I appreciate history, it was what it was, but let's not try to sugar coat it.
Thank you so much for this interesting episode. Greetings from South Africa
Truly admire your work in this field! Thank you!!!
This is perhaps the best episode of Lamont at Large yet. Great stuff!
Great video! I love civil war history
Hello from Lynchburg Virginia
Great video Lamont, super interesting. I'd love to see you go to more civil war sites & graveyards. Love this era of history. Your an excellent host!
