What a great bunch of people to get this place restored and recognized! Well done, sirs!
Cliff,
That road still exists in it's "original" state... how it tweaks my imagination,
especially in the snow...absolutely amazing!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Awesome to see actual remains of a French and Indian War fort!
Edited to add that I have an ancestor who was part of the Forbes Expedition. He was part of the Lower County Provincials. So I find these videos particularly fascinating. Thank you!
so cool cliff - thank you.
Thanks to those guys for working to preserve this important history and thank you for taking us there! Another great video.
Cliff,
I've got to say after seeing what those gentlemen and friends accomplished, I had a lump in my throat.
This is the kind of dedication and history that our kids need to know and especially THIS place and road.. because it's
still there!!!
The History of America is more than the sum of it's parts that we only see after standing back and studying what was
achieved over time!
Thank You so much!
Thanks for the video. Great find and the guides were great to fill in the back story of the area.
Hello cliff great video thank you for getting in touch with those two gentlemen like to thank them too the carving on the tree was cool and things being original was pretty cool also love from upstate New York
Around here we have civil war reenactments and I enjoy taking my charcoals and sketchbook and sketching the infantry , I love to go to shiloh national Battlefield also , it’s close by , I REALLY ENJOY HOW YOU PUT VIDEOS INTO Categories and groups !!!! It makes watching so enjoyable 🍄
I swear to you that while I’m visiting places like SHILO NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD, I can actually feel the spirits and I just say out loud that , “ you’re gone but not forgotten “ ! Sometimes there’s a mist on bloody pond that looks like spirits dancing, it effects me , and I’m proud that I can remember and honor them , can you understand, I’m sure you do 🍄
Good video. I used to live in Ligonier and grew up there, down the road a ways. My ancestors were the first people who climbed that front with Gist. Gist was the first man to ever climb the Allegheny Front on November 5, 1750.
Very interesting and enjoyable 💕🙏
This is great to see. Like you, I've been to a number of fort sites where nothing remains. Thanks for taking us along on this trip.
I grew up around that area but never got to see the fort site. There is a WPA Monument for Edmund's Swamp on Monument Rd in Shade Township.
Hi Cliff, the 2 guys had an amazing amount of information on the fort, it was great to listen to them, they are quite rightly very proud of what 's left and of the amount of work it took to get it recognised. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Drop a like 👍 this guy is a local treasure ❤
Nice job from the two geezers - would love to have learned more about the artifacts uncovered...
Great preservation of a historical site that needed it. Great video. Thanks
This was so very interesting! Those two gentlemen know their business. Thanks for taking us along!
Fantastic video thanks Cliff. Loving the history. That was so good, looking forward to part 3. Please stay safe and take care
Thank you for the adventure and the history. The fort and those gentlemen were amazing.
Such an interesting video loaded with great information. And I sit here in my comfortable home after eating dinner I didn't have to go out to hunt for and cook over an open campfire outside in cold weather, hearing about the hardships these people had to endure. I have such respect for the men and women who settled this country. And I love that you get to walk in their actual footsteps. Thank you, WW, for keeping history alive.
Very interesting !
Wow they actually have snow
This video was awesome! Thank you!
thank you for the history lesson .
23:45 heard a Raven, presumably flying overhead.
Thank-you for another fine presentation. I took special interest in it because Forbes Road runs right beside my ancestral grounds at Deeters Gap. I am wondering if the stream sourced near the fort is the stream that runs through Deeters Gap, at which point it is called Deeters Run, which is known to source at the top of the mountain and is a tributary to the Juniata River.
Would love to see the fort rebuilt.
I used to archery hunt about 100yds from the fort.
Have you been to the SS Grand View Ship Hotel, Historic Location while out there
It's been gone for years. Burned.
All the skid marks on that road looked scary
So quick question wen general Washington surrendered wat was the battle called I seemed to have a lack in wat u already went over and watched I can't remember nor can I find it
I believe you are talking about the battle fought at Fort Necessity at the Great Meadows in 1754. So battle at Fort Necessity or Great Meadows. Washington was then a Lt. Colonel of the Virginia Regiment - a Virginia Provincial Regular Regiment and not militia as often incorrectly called.
To bad we can't see it people shouldn't walk on the raised dirt that will ruin it iam surprise the state doesn't take that over
To cool 😎 love this video, Head out there in the summer looks nice hope I can get out there ty Steve
