Lived in Asheville 20+ years and have been to the botanical gardens a few times and have never taken the time to learn the history. Thank you for the eye-opening informative video. Excited to go back now. Thank you....
Thank You ! I appreciate the comment, it is very encouraging and happy to know that you enjoyed the video. If you have not done so, I would appreciate it a whole lot if you could consider subscribing. Thanks again !
Wow. Thank you so much for this history lesson. I was born and raised in NC. Lived in Weaverville all my life. I live in Asheville now. I never knew anything about the Battle of Asheville and I am 56 years old. I visited the botanical gardens many years ago. I am going to make a point to go back now with all this new information. Thank you so much again.
Askew's book is an invaluable tool I've used to research the war here in East Tennessee. I recommend it to anybody who is curious and having difficulty finding documentation of this mostly forgotten, but, highly critical part of the Civil War.
That is fantastic ! Thanks for sharing. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, it not only means a lot to me, but he helps me to continue to strive in providing more content.

We plowed up a Union rifle in Candler nc in Hominy valley smith cove rd neighborhood in 1984 and wondered how it got way out there and some fired lead bullets were in the same field up high on a mountain .
That is exciting ! Good for you...Kirby play havoc on Western NC in the last days of the war, lot of activity in Waynesville and they came through Maggie Valley on their way, they were a pretty nasty group.

@@Realstuffadventures , yep it is..... let's hope come next election we will turn the nation around .... They also wrecked Mom's places to get care too.. smh..... be well.
I live in front royal va ,I know of breastworks and 2 earthen forts people ride by every day and don't even know they are there and they arnt on protected land 😢
Love Virginia ! Lot of that up there for sure. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I have roamed a lot of that country and the parks are great but the many trenches and sites I have enjoyed were also on private property with permission. I am pretty sure most of the residents in Asheville know about these earthworks. I hope you will consider subscribing and sharing the videos you like as it means everything in relation to me being able to continue producing content and building my channel. I appreciate it.
@SandhillDigger yes I have metaldetected them with permission my buddy found his first breastplate beside one in kernstown banks camped there found my first breastplate in kernstown and my first US belt plate ,and my first box plate that was in the late 80s most is built on now 😞
