It's a shame that our history is being buried, but I'm so glad you are making these videos. Teaching our younger generation the truth about our nation and how it became. God Bless you and your family!
Thank You for another wonderful video. I actually met Jesse Owens (and got his autograph) when I was a young boy when he had dinner at my families restaurant in Florida in the early 70"s. I remember him being an extremely nice man.
One thing most people don't know is that his name was actually J. C. Owens. The J.C. stood for James Cleveland. When his family moved from the south to Cleveland when he was a young kid, the teacher asked what his name was on the 1st day of school and because of his strong southern accent J.C. sounded like Jesse.
HEY, JD What's up I have to say that you have one of the greatest TH-cam channels that teach and also educate kids and adults alike about American history. I have a lot of respect for the subjects you talk about. My Dad who is now deceased but was a Marine corps veteran of the Korean war a amputee that lost his right arm fighting in the Korea war . I just want to say thank you for all your doing to keep all kinds of American history alive... So take care be safe and God bless 🙏
Another remarkable tour. I am ashamed to say, I have no memory of the names of our Vice Presidents. How sad. There is a peaceful serenity to visit a cemetery in the winter time. Absolutely beautiful footage.
@Cookie That's nothing to be ashamed of. Many of our Vice-Presidents accomplished very little, to absolutely nothing. Other than holding that high office, I see no reason for memorizing their names.
Cemeteries are such amazing time capsules of history.. My mom used to drag me along and visit these places locally, she would spend hours perusing the graves and I would just be bored. Now 30 odd yrs later, I make sure I visit the oldest cemetery in whatever city I visit. As a Mid-Atlantic resident, the cemeteries are just history lessons unto themselves.
@@janiceisaacs6755 Good Morning... I have. I use to work in Virginia in Rockingham County and would travel to Richmond and surrounding areas on days off to sight see. My actual favorite thing is the view of the river for sure, butthe the history is amazing there. Other than Arlington, can't think of a prettier place. People clearly put much more emphasis on the afterlife and thought about providing a place for relatives to gather to reflect and honor the dead they knew and of the dead who were more well known also.
YOU....really do a superb job it not only showing/filming your story/visit but your videos are great teaching tools. You provide a visit and facts about a place or cemetery that alot of your fellow Americans wouldn't get a chance for alot of reasons. As a Marine Corps history nut and retired you have done a great service toward our history in this country.
Something about the snow, covering the cemetery, makes it so beautiful. Than you for bringing us along on your adventures. You can tick several presidents off your list here in Ohio.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland has quite a few famous people; including President Garfield (you can actually see his casket), Rockefeller, Elliott Ness, the graves/memorial of worst school fire in US history, the only player to die while playing baseball (Ray Chapman) is very interesting, plus many industrialists and unique grave markers of “common” folk.
I've been to the burial sites of every u.s. President. Took a 3,000 mile road trip one summer to visit them all. Was quite fascinating because I knew nothing about the earlier ones.
Thank you, JD, for what you do! For those of us, who do not travel as much, you bring us aspects of this country(and other countries), that we may never see! Safe travels!
Oh my,what a lot of history in that cemetery.I got to see Song of the South when I was a kid in school I liked it very much,it is a good movie A mazing all those pows graves.youre right,no one thinks about the vice presidents that much.Crown Hil is a treasure of history.Wow ,Gatlin,and Dillinger,President B.Harrison 23rd.Awesome.thank you.👍❤️
I just saw "Song of the South" again recently. I didn't see a lot of problems with it. There are more bad stereotypes in Temple's "Little Colonel" IMHO.
Beautifully filmed. It was such a pleasure exploring along with you. I loved visiting and exploring old cemeteries and the stories of the past they hold.
The gothic-style stonework of the gate arches in the opening shot is unbelievable. Even if it's just concrete masterfully done to look stonework it's still impressive.
Crown Hill was absolutely beautiful when I was young.. Last time I drove by, property was some unkempt. Need to visit soon. Recently learned new section of Veterans is here. Easy to forget how much history in your own city.
Having been born only 45 miles northwest of Indianapolis, I will have to make a trip to see all the places you have visited in Indiana. It has been more than 20 years since I have been back to my home state. Once a Hoosier, always a Hoosier. All great videos of Indiana history..
Thanks again, JD- we hope you enjoyed your trip to the Hoosier State. Hearing you describe Pres. Harrison as "A good Christian man and someone who cared about others" really makes me wish that we could realistically bestow that moniker on even 10% of those who are supposed to represent us in Washington, D.C.. Safe travels, Friend.
You know what's interesting about your channel is yes we've heard a lot about the repetitive American history but you tell us history that isn't told so I really appreciate your channel and American knowledge on the other than the norm stories. Thanks lots 👍🇨🇦
Of course there are many other famous people buried at crown Hill Cemetery. there are a number of famous Indiana authors who are buried there such as Booth Tarkington and James Whitcomb Riley.
I live about an hour south of Indianapolis. The rural area where I grew up had a general store until about 20 years ago. My grandparents lived in a house next to the store at the time Dillinger was active. My grandparents told the story that one day Dillinger drove up to the store in a car with two women. He went in and bought them hats. He didn't rob the store. I guess he was only after the big jobs and not a little country store. Love your videos. Love history and these are very good!
I always look ahead to my Sunday mornings and learning about the finer details of exploring America. Thank you for sharing this with us. My Best always 🚒Jesse
I lived in Indiana for over 20 years and went to crown hill many times. It is huge and has a tunnel that runs under it that is used during funeral. There are also other famous people buried there also such as James whitcomb Riley, famous poet, and elli Lilly who started the large pharmaceutical company. You could spend days there.
Great video as always. For me, one consistently awesome aspect of your videos is the attention to background music. The musical scoring of your videos is wonderful and powerful without being intrusive. Congratulations to whoever is responsible for the musical scoring! The music adds so much to the mood of each of your videos.
Sadly Admiral Scott was one of five US admirals to be killed in combat during WW2 (several others died in accidents). Admiral Isaac Kidd was killed on the Arizona at Pearl Harbor, Scott was killed by accidental friendly-fire from the USS San Francisco, Daniel Callaghan was killed a few minutes later when the San Francisco went up against the Japanese battleship Hiei, Henry Mullinnix was killed when the escort carrier Liscome Bay exploded after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine (Pearl Harbor hero Dorie Miller also died in this incident), and Theodore Chandler who died of wounds suffered when his cruiser flagship, Louisville, was struck by kamikazes off Luzon.
Yes. I'm Chandler's great nephew. He got a naval cross for that. Interestingly enough, his father Lloyd Chandler was a rear admiral and got the same commendation during WWI
Thank you for this series on Indiana. We so often get overlooked as a vanilla state. It's nice to see some light shed on our rich history. Just discovered your page but I'm addicted to it. Keep up the great work!
I’m glad too that you went here. I enjoy your channel so much n it’s filled with great history which I love. So a big shout out to you for giving this to all of us. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍
I love history as you do, and I also want to visit the graves of all our presidents. Currently, I'm at 17. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting them.
Interesting post! I must compliment you on your filming (I think that would be your cinematography). Whenever you film you come up with unusual angles and highlights, you are always sensitive to the view. On this post you made what could have been an ordinary walk through a cemetery seem ethereal, beautiful and interesting. Thanks for helping us as viewers appreciate the places you travel so much more!
My dad faced one president giving him a military salute.He faced Gerald Ford.Dad was stationed at Camp David doing guard duty there for year during his 4 years in the Marines.Watched Gerald Ford drive in all by himself,gave him the military support when Gerald came out of his car and Gerald gave him a military salute back.Gerald Ford is buried in Grand Rapids,MI at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum
I'd have trouble saluting Ford due to his complicity to whitewash the JFK murder while on the Warren Commission, though only two had the integrity and courage to dissent. Everyone from LBJ to Ford attained the presidency cuz they were either complicit or knew the truth and kept their mouths shut.
@@TheHistoryUnderground FYI Lincoln was buried more than one place in The Cemetery in Springfield. You could do a whole vid on Lincoln's body and grave robbing.
Enjoy all your videos and sense of irony about summer and winter. Hattie McDaniel won best supporting actress for Gone With the Wind in 1939. So she won before James Basket
Thanks. I’ll need to go back and watch it, but I think that I said that Baskett was the first African American male to win the Academy Award (at least I hope that I did). I’ll need to go back and check. I should have mentioned McDaniel just to be clear though.
Ack!!! Should have told me you were coming! I'd have given you a grand tour of the place. I am a public safety officer in that neighborhood and I also am one of the findagrave contributors. I could have shown you the spot where you can get the graves of three Vice Presidents in one photo frame
Just came across this video publish 2 months ago. This is a resting place of my family, Pioneers that settled Indiana. Our family has several monuments that look like Logs with anchors. Thanks for sharing my history of this remarkable place.
"During that engagement, Rear Admiral Norman Scott was killed in action when the bridge of his flagship, the light cruiser USS Atlanta (CL-51), was inadvertently struck by gunfire from Callaghan's flagship, the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco (CA-38), which joined with an enemy torpedo to fatally damage the Atlanta. For his "extraordinary heroism and conspicuous intrepidity" in the October and November battles, he posthumously received the Medal of Honor."
The American system of military decorations does not include an award for command competence that is anywhere near the Medal of Honor in prestige, which means that the criteria for the Medal of Honor are stretched for high-ranking officers. Scott's performance was outstanding, but not outstandingly brave.
Prior to August 1942, the Navy Cross was a more prestigious award than the Medal of Honor. Today it is equivalent to the distinguished service medals of the other branches.
I found your channel completely by accident - and am very happy that I did. Enjoy your videos and insights very, very much. I do have one correction to this video - as much as I admire James Baskett (and regret the limitations to his career and memory because of prejudice and racism) - Hattie McDaniel was the first African-American to win an Academy Award. For her brilliant and dignified portrayl of Mammy in Gone with the Wind (another example of historical sanitation of US history). McDaniel was a classy and extremely talented actor - like Baskett, limited by the racism of his time. BUT - having said that, thank you for introducing me to so much historical insight!! Very much appreciated.
I am a native Hoosier and no matter where I was assigned I always came "Back Home Again In Indiana". The last few years of my career my reserve unit would do the flag placements for the veterans at Crown Hill. That was a very solemn and important duty. You'd be surprised at the number of flag that needed to be placed...
Thank you for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and the history lesson ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing okay here in Kansas .
It is third largest cemetery.....been here many times as I live a couple miles up Michigan Road from it. It is a spectacular place to visit and there are surprises every time you visit. The old section is so beautiful...
I am in agreement, I will take a stump headstone as well haha. Right as I saw the title of this episode I was excited, but wow! So much to learn and enjoy here aside from what's in the title. Great job putting all this together. 👍
@@TheHistoryUnderground Louisville’s Cave Hill Cemetery has a large number of architectural headstones. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
My 3rd great grandfather, JC Emmons is buried in the Confederate Plot. He was captured in Marietta, Georgia after the battle of Kennesaw Mountain. I really like your videos.
Thank you for this new video! So well done! You will need to come back in the early Spring or late Fall to see the true beauty of the cemetery! Next time, go to The Crown to see the JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY MEMORIAL and while you are up there, you can see the ERNIE PYLE burial site. Thank you again, HOOSIER HOSPITALITY for you and your family❣️❣️❣️
Cemeteries are the most beautiful and sad places. I always enjoy your videos of these memorials to our ancestors. I remember "Song of the South" when l was little. To me back then it was pretty much a cartoon no other agenda involved. But things sure have changed over the years.
I'm in admiration of ur ability to keep all that information in ur head! Love UR love of history & how u explain what & why ur sharing it with us. U got me Babe! 🤗
I find it mind blowing that the southern P.O.W. camps are talked about yet the northern P.O.W. camps are just ignored. Chicago had a huge camp and those who lost their lives are buried in a mass grave in the Oak Woods Cemetery. This would be a great one to cover!
I love it whenever you talk about U.S. Grant, I used to live across the street from the house he was born in. I was 2 years old at the time. It's a little museum, not sure if it's still operational.
Very informative video. I have a herd of seven deer that live on my property in the woods that I sort of take care of in the winter, so the two bucks strolling through caught my eye! Love deer. So beautiful.😀👍👍
Again, very interesting & informative! Your videos always captivate the imagination & I always learn from them. Of all of the channels on TH-cam, yours remains my favorite.👏🏼
You never fail to peak my interest in your videos. So much history involved, in areas most of us could never travel to, or see. Loved Uncle Remus, the Zippity Doo Dah song pops up in my head some times. Keep them coming, It's a pleasure to watch what ever you have.
JD thank you for all you do to keep history alive. Please don't forget to visit Springfield IL. There's so much of his history there. Lincoln's h😅ome, his grave, the train depot were he gave his last speech before heading to Washington. His library and museum Also nearby is New Salem where he lived for a short time in the 1830's.
I'd be so tempted to volunteer my time to drive you to all these destinations, just so I could enjoy the history and experience you've been showing us. To relive it is to be it.
If you’re ever in Richmond VA, visit Hollywood Cemetery. You may already know of this place but just in case you don’t, Presidents John Tyler and James Monroe are buried almost right next to each other. Confederate States President Jefferson Davis is buried near to them as well. There’s also some very famous Civil War officers buried throughout. The cemetery itself is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cemeteries I’ve ever seen.
The 29th President of the United States is Warren G. Harding, born in Caledonia Ohio, and moved to my home town Marion. The memorial is the most grandiose outside of Washington D.C.. I have always thought it was cool to live in a place where a President once lived. I've been in his house when I was in middle school.
Thank you for this wonderful video on Crown Hill Cemetery, a place where I have spent many hours locating the graves of historic figures. My great-great-grandfather is buried in the Confederate Mound. In normal times, the cemetery conducts several interesting tours with various themes. There are quite a few people associated with the Indianapolis 500 who are buried there.
If you plan on visiting Cincinnati, stop by Spring Grove Cemetary! Tons of notable people from Cincinnati history and a lot of Generals- Hooker, Bates, Garrard and a handful more!
Definitely love Crown Hill! Visited there multiple times and plenty of interesting people buried there. They offer neat tours in the warmer months to check out! 👍
Should of brought a brush with you to brush away the snow form the headstones..I fully enjoy when you visit cemeteries, for most people they hold nothing, but there is so much history buried there, and I always find them calming and peaceful as well. thank you.
Like many Indianapolis natives and residents, I have family buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. James Whitcomb Riley is also buried there. There's a Congresswoman there. Also, there's a motorsports section that contains a lot of famous motorsports figures.
You were correct of James Baskett was the first African American Male to win an Oscar....but after reading the memorial you said he was the first African American to win an Oscar. When Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1893 - October 26, 1952) was an American actress, comedian and singer. For her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939), she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.
Love the stump you showed. And my name is Webster too, so maybe I can just pinch that one :) I enjoy wandering through the old sections of cemetaries. Thank you for taking me to this one.
Cemeteries really are a time capsule of history. If you're interested, not far from where I live in Norfolk, VA is the final resting place of Douglas MacArthur.
I live in Indy not far from Crown Hill.. It is a beautiful huge cemetery and a pride of all Hoosiers.. I have relatives buried there. On a sad note i was just there a couple weeks ago to bury a family member.. Thank you for showing it. Theres so much more bit it is enormous.
If you're still knockin around Indiana, you should visit the Levi Coffin House in Fountain City. Levi and his wife played a vital roll in helping the slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
It's a shame that our history is being buried, but I'm so glad you are making these videos. Teaching our younger generation the truth about our nation and how it became. God Bless you and your family!

For her brilliant and dignified portrayl of Mammy in Gone with the Wind (another example of historical sanitation of US history). McDaniel was a classy and extremely talented actor - like Baskett, limited by the racism of his time. BUT - having said that, thank you for introducing me to so much historical insight!! Very much appreciated.
3rd! I’m a big student of the gangster era. Your cinamatography is excellent! Keep up the good work.
I am a native Hoosier and no matter where I was assigned I always came "Back Home Again In Indiana". The last few years of my career my reserve unit would do the flag placements for the veterans at Crown Hill. That was a very solemn and important duty. You'd be surprised at the number of flag that needed to be placed...
There are definitely a lot there.
Thank you for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and the history lesson ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing okay here in Kansas .
Thanks!
It is third largest cemetery.....been here many times as I live a couple miles up Michigan Road from it. It is a spectacular place to visit and there are surprises every time you visit. The old section is so beautiful...
I am in agreement, I will take a stump headstone as well haha. Right as I saw the title of this episode I was excited, but wow! So much to learn and enjoy here aside from what's in the title. Great job putting all this together. 👍
Thanks. There’s definitely an eclectic mix of people buried there.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Louisville’s Cave Hill Cemetery has a large number of architectural headstones. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
My 3rd great grandfather, JC Emmons is buried in the Confederate Plot. He was captured in Marietta, Georgia after the battle of Kennesaw Mountain. I really like your videos.
Interesting!
Thank you for this new video! So well done! You will need to come back in the early Spring or late Fall to see the true beauty of the cemetery! Next time, go to The Crown to see the JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY MEMORIAL and while you are up there, you can see the ERNIE PYLE burial site. Thank you again, HOOSIER HOSPITALITY for you and your family❣️❣️❣️
Cemeteries are the most beautiful and sad places. I always enjoy your videos of these memorials to our ancestors. I remember "Song of the South" when l was little. To me back then it was pretty much a cartoon no other agenda involved. But things sure have changed over the years.
I'm in admiration of ur ability to keep all that information in ur head! Love UR love of history & how u explain what & why ur sharing it with us. U got me Babe! 🤗
So much fascinating history in one cemetery 🤗🤗 Thankyou History Underground!!
Our pleasure!
When I was younger I used to walk through cemeteries and admire how old some of the headstones were I haven't walked them for some time now.
I find it mind blowing that the southern P.O.W. camps are talked about yet the northern P.O.W. camps are just ignored. Chicago had a huge camp and those who lost their lives are buried in a mass grave in the Oak Woods Cemetery. This would be a great one to cover!
On the list :)
I can't wait!
I love it whenever you talk about U.S. Grant, I used to live across the street from the house he was born in. I was 2 years old at the time. It's a little museum, not sure if it's still operational.
Your channel is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work. My father father served on a mine sweeper at Guadalcanal. The USS Hopkins.
I have a copy of Song of the South, I LOVE that movie. Uncle Remos is wonderful, my grand children LOVE him too!
The Harrison’s ancestral home is Berkeley on Hwy 5 out of Jamestown to Richmond along with Tyler’s home.
Thank you so much for showing me Benjamin Harrison's grave site as he is in my genealogy line. A sweet treasure for me.
👍🏻
Very informative video. I have a herd of seven deer that live on my property in the woods that I sort of take care of in the winter, so the two bucks strolling through caught my eye! Love deer. So beautiful.😀👍👍
Thanks! I felt fortunate to have caught that.
Well done JD....cemeteries are so fascinating to me as well...God Bless you for your great work.
Thank you kindly
Amazing stuff. Really find your videos interesting and informative. Very valuable history. Thanks for all of your work. Awesome
Glad you enjoyed it!
Again, very interesting & informative! Your videos always captivate the imagination & I always learn from them. Of all of the channels on TH-cam, yours remains my favorite.👏🏼
You never fail to peak my interest in your videos. So much history involved, in areas most of us could never travel to, or see. Loved Uncle Remus, the Zippity Doo Dah song pops up in my head some times. Keep them coming, It's a pleasure to watch what ever you have.
"pique"
I enjoy visiting and walking in cemeteries. So much history. Thank you for a wonderful video! Be safe. God bless.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
JD thank you for all you do to keep history alive. Please don't forget to visit Springfield IL. There's so much of his history there. Lincoln's h😅ome, his grave, the train depot were he gave his last speech before heading to Washington. His library and museum
Also nearby is New Salem where he lived for a short time in the 1830's.
Excellent video. The scene with the flag among the graves and the deer was great. The music to it was perfect
What an absolutely beautiful place. I love walking around old cemeteries! This is now on the bucket list. Thank you for sharing this location!!
Love the cemetery videos, so much history all in one place.
Glad you enjoyed
I'd be so tempted to volunteer my time to drive you to all these destinations, just so I could enjoy the history and experience you've been showing us. To relive it is to be it.
Not sure how I just discovered your channel. Literally mind blowing I didn’t know
If you’re ever in Richmond VA, visit Hollywood Cemetery. You may already know of this place but just in case you don’t, Presidents John Tyler and James Monroe are buried almost right next to each other. Confederate States President Jefferson Davis is buried near to them as well. There’s also some very famous Civil War officers buried throughout. The cemetery itself is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cemeteries I’ve ever seen.
Definitely have that one on the list.
The tree stumps my be of a person that was a member of The Woodsmen organization.
The cemetery in Oregon City oregon goes back to the 1800's and is fascinating and sad because a lot of children are buried from the 1800s.
Interesting.
Great commentary.. I enjoyed your respect and admiration for those that have passed away. Job well done❤️
🙏🏼
What a fascinating cemetery, I could spend a week wandering around there 👍
Lol. I’m a lifelong Hoosier. May and June are lovely months to visit Indiana.
Third here from NJ. The snow adds a beautiful peacefulness to the cemetery. So many lives to remember.🙏
Very nice video. Harrison sounds like he was a humble man
Very much so.
The 29th President of the United States is Warren G. Harding, born in Caledonia Ohio, and moved to my home town Marion. The memorial is the most grandiose outside of Washington D.C.. I have always thought it was cool to live in a place where a President once lived. I've been in his house when I was in middle school.
Thank you for this wonderful video on Crown Hill Cemetery, a place where I have spent many hours locating the graves of historic figures. My great-great-grandfather is buried in the Confederate Mound. In normal times, the cemetery conducts several interesting tours with various themes. There are quite a few people associated with the Indianapolis 500 who are buried there.
If you plan on visiting Cincinnati, stop by Spring Grove Cemetary! Tons of notable people from Cincinnati history and a lot of Generals- Hooker, Bates, Garrard and a handful more!
Oh wow! Thanks!
Wish my parents still lived in Indiana. Miss all the history that is in so many of the towns there.
Good to hear from a real man, who's not about cancel culture... This man will make it.
Ha! Thanks. I appreciate that. Feel free to share these out. Maybe we can do some good :)
Definitely love Crown Hill! Visited there multiple times and plenty of interesting people buried there. They offer neat tours in the warmer months to check out! 👍
👍🏻
Should of brought a brush with you to brush away the snow form the headstones..I fully enjoy when you visit cemeteries, for most people they hold nothing, but there is so much history buried there, and I always find them calming and peaceful as well. thank you.
I really enjoyed this video and I've watched a bunch...so far my favorite 🐦
Like many Indianapolis natives and residents, I have family buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. James Whitcomb Riley is also buried there. There's a Congresswoman there. Also, there's a motorsports section that contains a lot of famous motorsports figures.
One of the few channels that can get a like before a view. Always great content
Ha! Awesome. Thanks!
You were correct of James Baskett was the first African American Male to win an Oscar....but after reading the memorial you said he was the first African American to win an Oscar.
When Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1893 - October 26, 1952) was an American actress, comedian and singer. For her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939), she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.
I live here in Indianapolis, this is a huge cemetery with lots of good stories and history.
Love the stump you showed. And my name is Webster too, so maybe I can just pinch that one :) I enjoy wandering through the old sections of cemetaries. Thank you for taking me to this one.
ha! Thanks!
Cemeteries really are a time capsule of history. If you're interested, not far from where I live in Norfolk, VA is the final resting place of Douglas MacArthur.
Oh wow! I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
I live in Indy not far from Crown Hill.. It is a beautiful huge cemetery and a pride of all Hoosiers.. I have relatives buried there. On a sad note i was just there a couple weeks ago to bury a family member.. Thank you for showing it. Theres so much more bit it is enormous.
when history is hidden or altered in any way,whether good or bad,it is destined to repeat itself.
I love your site and trust your historical knowledge. This is fascinating.
🙏🏼
If you're still knockin around Indiana, you should visit the Levi Coffin House in Fountain City. Levi and his wife played a vital roll in helping the slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
