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.
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!
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’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 ❤
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.
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
I love that there are people out there who love cemeteries and stuff like I do! The thing I love most about Lamont is he's just himself and chilled all the time. Just be yourself! Thank you for the incredible history lessons you provide❤️
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.
Lamont , you are the most gentle, caring , beautiful human being alive. The dignity you give the those who have passed away is beyond beautiful .God bless and keep you Lamont .
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 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.
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!
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
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!
I think a swing in a cemetery is very therapeutic! It’s relaxing, fun, & reminds us to be childlike, if only for a moment! It also will make you remember to be grateful, for still having all your faculties that allow you to swing ! Also reminds one to be grateful to swing from a swing, and not swinging with a rope around one’s neck!!! Gratitude… it’s important!!
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..
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 !!
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.
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
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.
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 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…..🌝
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
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!!
I have a great uncle who died in the Civil War that is buried in the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg. I found the information in the library in Monroe County, Ga and placed his information on findagrave. A very kind person went out and actually found his marker and uploaded it to findagrave for me. I love watching your videos!!
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!
I live in Lynchburg. This cemetery is very famous. It is the oldest municipal cemetery still in use today in the state of Virginia, and one of the oldest such burial grounds in the United States. There are also two other cemeteries with famous people in this town. Well, there are more than two, but the two more famous ones are Presbyterian Cemetery and Spring Hill Cemetery. Nice walking tour!
The second half of this video is fascinating & informative!! Such history!! Nothing like recovering from illness next to a cemetery ( the pest house) , to motivate one to get better!!! Thanks Lamont!
Hi Lamont. First timer here. Recently I’ve been checking out TH-cam re Lynchburg. I was born in L’burg and have lots of family there. Left there years ago, but many visits back over the years. I’ve been to this cemetery, but never saw all of it. I enjoy history so much, so thanks for the tour. My great, great grandfather was a confederate soldier. He did survive the War between the States and I was grateful for that. No fan of slavery though. Like you mentioned, most of the soldiers never owned slaves. Also, I know of a very small cemetery in Manassas, Va. you might to check out. I’ve been in it and remember one grave stone marked backed to the mid or late 1700s.
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!
Thank you Lamont for the tour of the Lynchburg Cemetery. That was very interesting, especially going through the little house with the surgical items, etc. Loved it!
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.
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 👏

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! 😂

Sometimes their jewelry are buried in the ground too! 😂 Time for me to get a new job! Lol

Great job, Lamont! Please do more Civil War cemeteries/battlefields.
Gettysburg PA
Vicksburg would be great!
@@admiralsemmes6939 in going there soon
Hello !!! You’re in my neck of the woods!!! Welcome!!
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 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.

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!

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🙄

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.
This was definitely one of the most interesting videos that you've ever done Lamont! Learned a lot!
Great tour! Thanks
This has to be THEE BEST CEMETERY you have ever been to‼️❌‼️THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR US‼️
Stay safe out there Lamont ❤️🙏🏼❤️

That was a great history lesson! And a blessing that you were able to film inside! Great job Lamont!
The scatter garden is a wonderful concept. Sometimes people need a place to go and mourn, but can’t afford a mausoleum or big expensive marker.

Confederates? They fought for slavery. Lol
