- The Civil War Diaries S1E12
In this Season Finale we take a look at some Rare Confederate Video Footage of Veterans at parades and reunions held in their honor. Major Steadman Speaks about Robert E. Lee and General Snead Speaks on his troops. Two old soldiers talk about the women in attendance and a man who claims to be James Monroe's son (this was later disproven along with many of his other claims) speaks about his time with Lee, and the Mexican American war. In an interesting side note this man (Major James Monroe) claimed to have been born in 1815 and died in 1949 (he would have been 133 years old!) The Civil War Diaries will return for season 2 soon, in the mean time, go visit a battlefield!!

I'm amazed how much Scottish, English and Irish accents can be heard in their voices as they speak. 😮
Watch Gangs of New York opening scenes.
5:14 yes, bloody posh English accent!
Well, some of these gentlemen were only a few generations away from being English (with some Scottish and Irish) who just happened to live in the American colonies
@@keithwaites9991 exactly. It's fascinating.
Welsh too
My gg granddad was Joseph Howard Powell. He enlisted in 1862 in Alabama, and was detailed in Company H, 5th Alabama Cavalry. He fought in several battles, most notably Chickamauga. He survived the war and moved his family to Itawamba County Mississippi. He passed away in 1923 at the age of 91.
Great footage would have probably given it a good thumbs up wasn't for the dog in the way the video
I’ve always found it amazing how differently they wrote and spoke back then. So much more elegant than us today
Dumbing down of Woke America....Sometimes you can't change or educate to the betterment, pre-modern civilized culture and reasoning or the obvious lack thereof.
I remember reading letters from soldiers to their families which were on display at Gettysburg many years ago, I was amazed at the content and penmenship, we definitely have fallen backwards today.
If Only They had T9
I read that early Americans spoke in British accents. Can definitely hear an evolution of accent.
I tried reading Last of The Mohicans ,but gave up,beautifully written but my wee brain doing somersaults with the language of that time.I will try again.
This is one of the absolute best videos of Confed Vets if not THE best I've ever seen!! Great work keeping history alive!
My great great great grandfather, Judge JT Carthel of Lebanon, TN, was a private in the 20th regiment, Tennessee Cavalry. Later becoming captain, he fought for a little over a year. He joined the cavalry in early 64 and stayed until the war ended. My family still has his original journals. He was born in 1828 and lived until 1911. His twin brother, Thomas Josiah Carthel was killed in battle in 64 during the Battle of Atlanta. After the war, he went on to be circuit judge in Tennessee until 1890. It is very import to hold onto and pass on your family's history! We have family records dating all the way back to 1711. I know the names, birthplaces, deathplaces, and stories of 7 generations of my family here in the USA.
Wouldn't it be nice to sit and visit with these grand old treasures..
My parents use to take me to Monument Ave, Byrd park , Bryan Park and the museum’s as a child. I took my children but now there’s nothing there for my family.
No. It would not. It'd be depressing as all hell.
@@mattmarzula dont be a cry bag
Yeah. I'd like to sit down and ask my southern slave owner relatives how someone who is Irish and came to America to escape oppression and violence could become the owner of slaves and fight in a war to keep said slaves. It truly boggles my mind.
That would certainly be a joy !
The old boy who was telling the interviewer what the 2 hardest fought battes were...The Wilderness and Spotsylvania CH. You could tell he was speaking from experience and he was already remembering something about those horrible battles the way he trailed off...

@@Virus-xm7qc I find you a bore.
I remember visiting the "outer banks" of North Carolina back in the 70's and old time locals still spoke with an Elizabethan English accent after 400 years. Same thing applies to the "hollow's" in West Virginia.
I'm not sure but I've heard in Charleston South Carolina there are people called Geeches. They speak combination of French,English and African.
So they basically spoke like Shakespear?
@@eddieboggs8306I met some in South Carolina. They're very tall and slim,dark with long hair that they basically grow their whole lives. They put fragrant oils on it instead of washing. Some had hair to their knees. I lived in a giant house with about 2,000 other men. Most from the Carolinas and the islands off shore. I was in Bennettsville, SC.
Enjoyed this very much. I’m proud of my heritage. GG Granddad 2 nd. LT William Chapman Browning 45 th Virginia battalion CO. D. Rest In Peace granddad.
The educated southern gentlemen sounded more eloquent than anybody I see, politician or otherwise from these days.
"The educated southern gentlemen" slave owners you mean? Can't think of anything gentlemanly about being a slave owner.
Yes; eloquent & educated; that they were.
And always will be!
Eloquent, racist, and evil. Support it if you have no soul.
Chivalry died with the CSA.
@@stan7816
Yeah, the German and Allies who buried each other’s fallen fighter pilots on their side of the lines weren’t chivalrous at all. //sarcasm\\
Thank you for these introspective views of the past. My family came to North America in 1912 and 1922 respectively My wife's family descends from people who came on the Mayflower. Her great-great grandfather fought for the north as a quartermaster for Grant in Shiloh and at Chattanooga. I have always had a fascination for this time in our countries history.
Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. The CW Diaries will be returning with season 2 in a few weeks. Until then errbody stay safe and love one another, it’s all we got left
Looking forward to it !
Hey boy stop calling it a civil war apparently you're highly uneducated because the Civil War means that two sides were fighting for control of the same government and son that didn't happen .....we SECEDED from the Union of tyrants and we FORMED our own government our own monetary system and built our own Army and a whole lot of excetera we were a FREE and INDEPENDENT NATION my true Heritage in TRUTH and REALITY it was the WAR between the states and the WAR for SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE!
@@ringokidd387 Hey girl, don’t get your panties in a wad.
@@ringokidd387 Also, you have a lot of spelling errors to be calling someone highly uneducated.
Hi Bird Dogg, Love love your content!! Stayed up extra late last night watching, and enjoyed it very much, thanks very much!!
This has been a great series Chris, well done and thanks for putting it out there. You wouldn't get those parades today without a riot exploding on the streets. I hope Myrtle will be OK.
Thanks so much Cardigan, I appreciate you coming along for the ride. I feel awful lucky to play some small part in preserving the history of these soldiers and our countries past. I feel like there has never been a time when knowing your past to avoid repeating it in the future has been more relevant.
@@BirdDogg Too bad there are people who don't want the history of this country to be taught to children. Can't make the southern white people feel uncomfortable about what their ancestors tried to do.
@@EattheApple666 In what respect? No one pretends slavery didn’t exist… The perpetuation of racism has largely moved into northern cities in modern times with the highest instances of racial hate crimes occurring in New York and California. I would in fact venture that there is far more acknowledgement in the south of the atrocities of the past than there is acknowledgement in the north of the atrocities of the present… We have some degree of control over one… hint: it’s not the past…
@@BirdDogg the historical revisionists that try to claim the Civil War was not fought over slavery. It was fought over slavery 100%. For anyone that has any doubts about that: just read the Texas Declaration of Causes (for seceding) Feb 2, 1861.
Here's an excerpt:
[i]In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed.
We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.[/i]
Amazing! If we don’t know our past, we will not know our future. Don’t be afraid of it. It’s History. No matter how hard others try to erase it, it will never go away.
the weak in character want to erase it, because they lack the capacity to bear!
I have a master's degree in figurative sculpture. Having studied & loved them for the great sculpture and historical significance, and then see them vandalized, ripped off their pedestals was mind-blowing and very painful. They are, wherever they are, great sculpture and MY history. One statue that I said hello to every day for about thirty years was Christopher Columbus, in Tower Grove Park. He is no longer there because he owned a slave in the 15th century.
Great work Chris, can't wait for season 2. Hope Myrtle gets back together and into the woods again. GLHH
*What people forget , but can be seen here...is that the further you go back in the history of the United States, the "less American" people sound. They inherit the accents of their parents, weather it be Scottish, Irish or English.*
German too
yes...they sound more elegant..unlike today
And the West African accents of the Colored Troops.
My first American born ancestor was born in 1649 which is 212 years before the start of the American Civil War. So, the only accents his descendants, who fought in the Civil War, had were American from the deep South, namely Mississippi. My great-great-grandfather was with the Mississippi 4th Infantry regiment Company F Sons of the South. His name was Benjamin H. Bounds.
@@Marcfj Benjamin H. Bounds was a traitor to the United States of America may he rest in hell.
I can’t understand why people want to remove Confederate Statues because it is American history and it happened on American soil. The city of Richmond the Capital of the Confederacy took every statue down. The statues should have stayed due to the age and Monument Ave was a tourist destination for years from all over. I don’t believe these statues were taken down in good faith but to destroy our past.
Why? Confederates were traitors who attacked the United States Army and led to the deaths of over 600,000 soldiers and fought to preserve the abomination that was slavery and their belief that slavery was the “natural condition” of an “inferior race” as argued by Confederate VP Alexander Stephens. General Lee himself, who was indicted for treason, was against such statues and the glorification of this war. The Daughters of the Confederacy didn’t listen as they were busy erecting statues to the same traitors while spreading their “lost cause” bullshit to whitewash history and show “uppity Blacks” who was still in charge in the South.
That’s (partially) why.
Lots of truth in what you say
Mr.dawson i believe you need too polish up on your history, ie why the south succeeded, really do a little research. Ya might just come away with a different point of view!
@@BryanDawsonUSA Yeah like a statue hurts a uppity anybody. I was born in Virginia and saw the statues as beautiful works of art and their historical value. They say democrats started putting the statues up in the 1890. I’m no democrat but I did see the historic side of it. The statues were better than any statues they would put up today and these weak minded people will put up something gay or clown like to take it’s place.
The statues were put up in the teens & twenties to reinforce Jim Crow and celebrate white supremacy. Way after the Civil War at the heighth of the KKK throughout the USA.
First I’d seen of this Amazing Footage. What a History Treasure. 42 of my ancestors -on my fathers/ Dads -were Tennessee’ Confederate-most were Tennessee Confederate Calvary. My Grandmothers grandfather -on my Moms side was Illinois’ Infantry and was Captured by Tennessee Confederate’s and imprisoned at Andersonville’. James Dudley Beasley’ was his name. He survived Andersonville’ and passed away at 92’ around 1922’ in Willard’ Utah. My grandmother born 1914’ remembered him well as a young girl. Thanks for sharing this great historic footage🇺🇸
"Cavalry" is a military unit; "Calvary" is where Jesus was crucified.
Thank you so much! You have done an excellent job with this video. I appreciate the effort you put into it!
Thanks Norman, if you enjoyed this one take a look through season 2! Season 3 is coming soon
This was absolutely Amazing!! Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks so much for sharing. Especially since had NC footage. My home and home of so many of my ancestors who fought in the war. My Great Great grandfather with 5 other brothers fought in the war.
Thank very much of this portrayal of a time when heritage was respected.
Imagine fighting side by side during the Mexican War and then trying to kill each other a short time later... Crazy times for sure...
The Respect was still there you can guarantee that, had it not been then I believe that the surrender at Appomattox wouldn’t have gone as well as it did
@MGTOW Paladin So many opportunities to make and be part of history back then..
What always surprised me was that Lincoln asked Robert E Lee to head up the union army when the war started. He said no he had to support his state. Frankly that has been the problem with the USA since then. People aren't Americans they are just Virginians, or Kentuckians or whatever state they come from. Just a bunch of little fiefdoms all mixed together and they all seem to hate each other.
@@ktkat1949 and after the war something else just as surprising would be General Sherman’s invitation to Lt General Nathan Bedford Forrest to help him lead troops in the Federal Army. ... I’ve never seen anyone in this country hate another individual simply because of where they’re from, especially these days, the issues seem to start when someone tries to force their own ways of doing things when it’s unwanted. What’s good for Michigan may work well in Michigan and what’s good for Oklahoma may work well in Oklahoma, but what’s good for Oklahoma may not work so well in Michigan, and I think we would have a better country to live in if most people would understand and respect that. I’m an American 100%, but I would never purposely drown my Home “Kentucky” so the rest of the country could prosper.
No crazier than now
Excellent channel, thank you! ❤
Very nice...love to see and hear how they talked. As an "Original Transcon RR" enthusiast, this era called "Manifest Destiny" produced some incredible men and women. Civil War photographer A.J. Russell, (the only official photographer who actually was in the Union army), photographed the dead, after battle, and the public actually saw real war-after effects. Russell, as an awesome technician at the top of his craft, took hundreds of photos of the building of the RR. His photos digitized, are at OMCA, Oakland, CA. Thanks, from Darrell.
I live about a half hour from Oakland. I'm definitely gonna check that out. Thank u for sharing
People these day fail to understand that we are not from the past and we cannot look at them as people of today. We might not be here today without these people and those before them. If those soldiers learned to forgive so should we.
Hard to apply modern day sensibilities to a time when folks had live without modern conveniences, was a different world with different societal norms
@@BirdDogg You are right about modern day conveniences and people not withstanding adversity! In order to destroy a people/nation give them EVERYTHING, it weakens them so much they'll die by the sheer pressure of the psyche's incapacity to cope! It is said that people nowadays have higher life expectancy, but looking at these old chaps, and there seem to be many who had been interviewed being in their hundreds, makes one doubt. Perhaps we've been told just stories about today's life expectancy rates too?
I am almost certain that hard times are inevitable to root out the diseased spirit and souls, and all that through natural consequence. It will put us all to the test of what we're made of, and we will be pushed beyond our limits something we cannot prepare for!

I appreciate you bringing that up I noticed how there was no mental degeneration the slim people I kinda overlooked. I go on 3 day water fast and feel real good I wish I could go longer.

My family fought for the confederacy AND the union. I have family in Texas who fought with Terry and I have family in KY, and Ohio who fought for the union. The only reason the confederate stuff is taken down is you have people who say it needs to come down and every PC politician who is afraid to stand up to them.
I am not sure when the video of the first guy was made, but he said he was born in 1815 and fought in various battles. As I understand it films with sound were not made until the 1920's or so. That would make this man well over 100years old. Amazing !
I’ve been doing some digging on this old man: it seems he was quite the story-teller, and he was not Monroe’s youngest son. A simple internet search revealed that the Monroes did have a son who was born May 1799, but that he died on September 28, 1801. They had two girls who lived to adulthood. The Find A Grave folks have provided a little more insight into him😊
if he was born in 1815 he would have been fifty in 1865 I do not think they took men that age for war in those days
@@maureen3134😊
@@josephberrie9550they surely did take men in their 50’s. The south was desperate for man power. They took kids later on in the war. You should research before making foolish comments.

@@bossplayaicola8256I was wondering the same thing.
I truly hope that the story of the South and the Confederates are not whitewashed from America’s history books to appease those who find history must be written not to offend sensitive souls.
What happened happened and the story should be told from all involved Union, Confederates and the Slaves that lived fought and died during that tumultuous time in the history of America before it became truly a United States. God bless all who fought and died.

Why were there no blacks mentioned in this video if we should remember everything ?

Southern fighters developed their slang and learned to speak that way to differ from the English they were raised with. Remember these men were the grandchildren of the Continental Army Soldiers. The wife of Jefferson Davis was the granddaughter of George Washington.
Huh? That’s impossible. He didn’t have children These people’s ancestors had been in the country way before the revolution, plenty of time for dialect to evolve never mind the colonists the majority anyway were barely educated.
I guess we read many history books and family history differently. No problem here.
Southern fighters were TRAITORS of the UNITED STATES
George and Martha Washington raised two children from Martha's previous marriage CSA FOREVER
I had to watch twice. To think of everything those gentleman witnessed in their lifetime. Wishing you all the best and hope all turns out ok with Myrtle. Good luck, happy hunting and take care. ✌
I agree these are just amazing glimpses into the lives of men who saw the dawn of a whole new era. I reckon the closest we can relate it to is when computers began to dominate society and strip us of our individuality, but even that pales in relation to the immense changes these men witnessed. Electricity, gas powered cars, airplanes, tanks, submarines, machine guns, grenades, nuclear weapons, home appliances, the amount of things they saw come into being is unimaginable.
@@BirdDogg , I wish I would have sat down and recorded my grandparents and all they witnessed in their lifetimes. Take care buddy.

Lovely to see that old footage of the Lion, still in it's proper place, honoring those who died. Ofc, the rabid Leftists had to destroy that too, and the monument was removed last month.

@@gaim44 You're talking about "traitors" while sporting the face of Karl Marx. The hypocricy is astounding. Also, the Confederates werent traitors. They followed the ideals of the country in fighting tyrannical federalism. Also, to be a traitor you have to fight against your OWN nation, and last I checked, they left the Union and founded their own. So, both ideologically and empirically, they were not traitors. Fuck yourself, commie. Deo Vindice.

There's some footage of a Confederate reunion in Jacksonville, Florida 1913, I believe. The whole town took part in the celebration. Remnants of N. B.Forrest's cavalry rode horseback. Proud and elderly men. Today, our mayor has taken down statues, etc. because he wants the vote of our black citizens.
We also have a " Confederate Park " downtown. Statues being removed and the name to be changed. The names of many of our schools have now been changed, starting with Nathan Bedford Forrest High School. Lee High, Jackson Middle, Kirby Smith Elementary, and several others. Along with the terrible things going on around the world, it feels like the end of the world to me.

How can you be proud of a group of people that declared war on our American government and killed thousands of Americans because they didn't want to expand slavery to the west ? This is a simple question. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks.
I would be most appreciative of knowing specifics I can use to find and listen to the exquisitely beautiful music that begins and ends each episode.
Seeing moving footage is amazing. Really brings History to life.
Better Late than never, this week has had me all messed up. Back to the surgeon with Myrtle Friday, wish us luck.
Good luck Chris!🙏
Thanks Ray, praying to at least see the light at the end of the tunnel soon, hard not even knowing what the issue is. It will work out, things always do. It’s the waiting for them to work out that is hard.
@@BirdDogg I sincerely care what's going on Chris, I know it's frustrating with Myrtle's surgeries and expect it will be done with one surgery! My cat is doing better! Thank-you for your concern about me and my cat!
Prayers to you and Myrtle. It's a rollercoaster ride. Just know your dog loves and appreciates you. I hope you are taking care of yourself too.
Wishing you good luck Sir! Big prayers!!
I lived in Nashville Tennessee up above the bar the wheel at 4th and Broadway and there is a civil war soldiers picture on the wall that looks identical to me..
Doppelganger.
4th and Broadway seems like that use to pass by fairgrounds and Nolensville rd. I lived on Murfreesboro rd. Close by
I do wish there were subtitles. I can't understand what they are saying, and I'd really love to. But, thank you for posting this video. It's good to see these veterans.
I understand them . Guess I speak the Queens English.Cheers.
how high and mighty English they sound, mixed with a twist of Irish.
Not Irish at all... Those are the 'aristocratically rolled rs'
@@matthabir4837 it was the banter they came across in, struck me as Irish.
@@matthabir4837 that's Scots his name is Munroe. Same as Bill Monroe the mandolin guy.
@@garyjessiman8312 You're 100% correct about the Scottish dialect, Gary. Bill Monroe was a bluegrass pioneer, as you know.
I'm Scots myself though I now live in New Zealand. There footage out there of Bill Monroe on a visit to Scotland and the Monroe Clan with him playing music with local musicians they knew each others music even after a few hundred years of separation...
The accents of people in the south during the 1800's sound more English than southern. I once read that the people of the south after the war started talking differently so as not to be confused with someone from the north. It makes sense to me that the distinct southern accent may have emerged during the later 19th century.
A lot of the south was settled as a tri-cultural area which likely accounted for the diversification of influences heard in the mid to late 1800's and even today in the south. Scotts-Irish, African American and Native American cultures heavily settled the Appalachians, Creole culture in Louisiana, South American Influences in Texas. The languages and nuances blended together forming subtle differences throughout the south but similarities as well. Most of the soldier's parents were likely immigrants who had learned english as adults. Very interesting to think about how these sort of subconscious patterns evolved though over the years and makes you wonder how far removed we are from our ancestors. Would we even understand them today? If I could just get the batteries to charge on this time machine again....
The Southern accent comes from Scottish descent and Irish descent. Not sure how it got the reputation of making people sound "dumb"!
@@rebelsoul5980
Don’t forget about the English that settled there
That sounds like a myth that they started talking differently on purpose.
@@rebelsoul5980 Hollywood makes it sound dumb
I was born in decatur Mississippi,my grandma was a choctaw, I'm Scot and Irish mostly,never lived there after leaving in 1959 im sixtie five years old now, thank you so much
The first man sounded just like my old Grandad. God bless him.
Its incredible how it's become...compared to the history hear in the UK this is like yesterday
Indeed. With that said though, I was digging 10,000 year old Native American artifacts yesterday
I here the Celtic in our ancestors, i wish the truth was popular
Amen. Same here. Love from Tennessee
I'm fascinated by hearing the accent of Major Monroe. I'm picking up a slight Scots/Irish brogue in his speech mannerisms. He is from Asheville Virginia. I suspect his style of accent was probably more common among Southerners and even some Northern men who lived near the Appalachian regions of the country. Absolutely amazing. Great vid.
5:33 you can see him flashing back to the Battle of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Courthouse. Incredible yet terrifying.
Our Capitol should be removed to Richmond where it belongs - flush the corruption out of DC.
Love this content
4:15 such a wholesome conversation between gentlemen lol
That footage is AMAZING! What history that man has been through. Watching in 2023 a man who was a son of president Monroe who lived through The GREAT War. Wow!
What an unbelievably important piece of film and documented history!!!!
I would have been a confederate sympathizer brush fighter but I wouldn't ever join any official side
Many of my fathers ancestors fought for the north , many of my mothers ancestors fought for the south , they were all Americans ,no flags or monuments should ever be removed lest we should remember the cost of war. Should we remove revolutionary memorials because they might offend English citizens, no of course not. Should we remove the remains of the Alamo, because it might offend someone, no of course not. How about the little bighorn. No we shouldn't remove any monument or flag
You have not learned that the rebs executed Black and Irish POWs by the hundreds? Did your mom know that? No, they were former Americans who rejected the Constitution, and conned and forced many poor Whites to fight explicitly to enslave Black americans. Lee openly hated Irish, and Jefferson Davis officially authorized the execution of captured POW Black Union troops and their Irish officers. 300 POWs alone murdered at Fort Pillow. Another reason right-whack trumpublicans are so obsessed with forbidding the teaching of actual history, and whine so much. But the criminal truth is right there in the official documents and speeches of the Confederacy. Even in the libraries of southern universities. It is time to let the bell of truth ring free, and stop pandering to weak minded bumpkins who can only handle "Happy Talk" about their ancestors.
@@davidsnedeker8098 you apparently didn't know that lincoln eliminated the prisoner exchange program causing the prisons to be over run with northern prisoners. i'm sure if you knew that that you don't really care because you love the idea that you are on the good side of history. sherman also had a scorched earth campaign and caused many freed slaves and southerners to starve to death. the north also robbed and stole everything that they saw. you people are rewriting history in your own leftist communist image. you are the 1 who is ignorant of history and how it's repeated. states rights is what the south fought for and it's still an issue to this day.
@david snedeker Actually, if we are going to talk about the truth of executions in this country, Lincoln authorized the largest mass execution in US history. The attack at fort pillow went awry because the Yankee commander at the fort (Major Bradford) fled the battle in an act of sheer cowardice, he never surrendered his troops leaving them to be slaughtered by the onslaught of confederate forces. While there are varying accounts of the affair that were made at the time, if you take the time to read the official reports on the incident (both from the union and confederate forces involved) the accountability of those soldiers deaths falls on the cowardice of Major Bradford. People die in war, especially combatants.
@@davidsnedeker8098 as I tried to state it ,there was terrible stuff that happened on both sides. Didn't try to say only the Yankees did, if you think only the south did bad things it seems to be you sir who needs some history lessons and I stated they were all Americans they were! I also stated I didn't think any monuments or flags should be removed, lest we forget . In case you don't know what that means , bless your heart, it means I believe if all the monuments are taken down then eventually the mistakes of both sides could be forgotten and repeated.
@@davidsnedeker8098 If you think the civil war was only about slavery it just goes to show how uneducated on the war you are. Maybe you should watch some of Mr.H.K.Edgerton videos for some enlightenment. Keep in mind history in the history books is as in any war is wrote by the victors. I'm not saying the south did no wrong but neither did the north. Anyway bless your heart and may God go with you.
I have probably all of this on vhs tapes. Love to listen to them
Absolute treasure thank you
I cannot figure this fellow out 1:00 He claims to be the youngest son of ex-President James Monroe and was born in 1815. Pres. Monroe did have a son named James, but he was born in 1799 and died in 1800. Even if this man was born in 1815, he'd have to be over 110 years old, by the time sound film was commonly available. What we have here is pure taradiddle.
Senile perhaps? If you actually listen to what he's saying it's actually a bit rambley and slightly incoherent.
@@jhjhjhjhjhjhify OR he could be a fish tale teller of long standing. Who knew in 1930 we would one day fact check such claims with a handheld gadget that only weighs a few ounces?
@@AnnieVanAuken Good point, I suppose it would've been much more difficult to verify any of these claims, so it's plausible the guy thought he could get away with it. Anyway we'll never know. Still interesting.
@@jhjhjhjhjhjhify He's harmless and certainly a charming old fella. The average listener wouldn't be the wiser and I imagine anyone who knew better would've never disgraced this man with a challenge.
Its garbage , or he’s just nuts!
