A Blustery Day at Boonesborough!

- Walking in the footsteps of legends, we take a quick tour of the original fort site at Ft. Boonesborough, the first in our "Forts of Old Kentucky" series we'll be working on over the next few years!
Take a stroll with me along the Kentucky River to see where men like Daniel Boone blazed the history books, as well as tour the reconstructed fort site and the amazing sights to see there.
We want to thank the Boonesborough State Park staff and operations team members who got us sorted for permission to film on location and show us around their site. What a great group of folks, you can plan your own visit by heading to www.fortboonesboroughstatepar... and give them a like on social media if you have the chance!
And don't forget to like and subscribe so you never miss a video!

I somehow missed this one … you’re a grand story teller.
Excellent presentation brother. I look forward to seeing more.
I went there in the 70s with my school I only live about 30 miles from there may go back there in a couple of weeks
I grew up less than a mile from the Shallowford on the Yadkin river where Boone and his family crossed. Washington also stayed right across the river for a few nights. Stoneman's Raid also came through here. Found many arrowheads and pottery sherds around the house and fields, and walked the old wagon road many long afternoons.
Growing up in Kentucky, in middle school, we took a school field trip to the Fort Boonsboro reconstruction and it is still a dear memory
Glad you have that memory! It's a really neat place!
Cool!
I absolutely love this video
Underrated channel.
Well done!
In Michigan, colonial Fort Michlimackinaw at the tip of the lower Peninsula has inspired many an imagination . These places are important to pass down our history.
Been there many times,greetings from a fellow history buff. Keep up the good work , see you down the trail.
Good stuff!
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing history and your adventures
I actually live literally a few minutes from here. I pass it all the time. I haven’t been in years. I need to go back.
Loved this. I have been there so many times. Brought back many memories!
This was actually my first time. Hopefully the first of many! Thank you for all you do and the inspiration you and your music is!
@@FlintlockOperator thanks brother. Love your channel so much!
Fun fact Daniel Boone is actually my ancestor
Excellent content, I love the history lessons and adventures!! The fact that the wall was mainly made out of cabins is very neat. Keep up the great content my friend and I absolutely can't wait to see what comes next!!!
The site is were the rock quarry is,,but I am glad you love history,,
Interesting. I have not read or heard that. What's your source on this or where did you hear it from?
@@FlintlockOperator I live in Clark County, and kin to the Callaway girls, with Jemima boone...far as the fort,old timers said they seen the pylons before the quarry was there...river was smaller I'm talking about 90 to100 year old men...where you was was where boone was attacked and they fell down trees and put rocks to make a small fortication...with his men where he was in KY and liked where he could put the fort when he got back to KY..
Just over here laughing picturing some giant of a man yeeting Daniel Boone at some Indians and the fact that actually worked is hysterical.
Very cool! Also you've probably read it, but if you haven't then "The Prairie Traveler" by Randolph B. Marcy is a book you have to pick up. In short, it's a handbook for Westward travelers in the 1850's (a little ahead of your period, I know!) and has a wealth of knowledge for Western settlers. Great read and excellent information. Anyway, take care and I can't wait to see more videos of yours!
I actually haven't read that one and will pick it up! Thank you for the recommendation!
Seeing your excitement and enthusiasm for American colonial and revolutionary history is wonderful, you may not be the most professional at delivering lines but that just adds to the charm. Good job and keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Gentlemen of culture we meet again
We prefer, "gentlemen of fortune".
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video!
I'm really enjoying your enthusiasm for our history. The system and the mainstream mwdia want to erase it so it's up to us to educate our children and keep history alive.
Thank you! Our history and heritage will not die on my watch.
Now I’ve gotta read that story you sent me*.
*obviously I was going to regardless of the video. 😅
That's a beautiful looking rifle! I chose to build a Kentucky percussion rifle a few years ago. Did you build your flintlock from a traditions kit?
So funny story, it's not actually a rifle! It's a Brown Bess by Veteran Arms that I've done a lot of work on. I plan on getting a Kibler Colonial kit in the near future though. Thank you for watching!
Kaskaskia...not Saskatchewan. Boone was also captured and adopted into the Shawnee, before his escape. Great post though... Keep it up.
I'm sure that was just a slip of the tongue on the gunsmith's part. He is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about the period! Thank you!
@@FlintlockOperator yeah… I figured. I wasn’t trying to come across foul. Just wanted the record straight. I’m a huge George Rogers Clark fan. Thanks again.
@@kenatpach I appreciate it, especially since I didn't catch it in post production! Thank you!
@@FlintlockOperator man… just keep educating. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Like I said… I wasn’t trying to sound
Like a dick. Keep educating! It’s so very important. All my love n’ support.
The Indians for many years new Simon Kenton as Butler because he changed his name when he ran away from home
"Bod-ler", or "Cut-ta-ho-tha".
