Don't let the trolls ruin your day-we love your videos-thank you Cliff!
Your series on the French and Indian War is excellent. I have read many books on this time period, which include all the gruesome facts. You are teaching history without the unnecessary details. Your visits to locations have been a great help. I always have my satellite map following where you are, as I am collecting the location coordinates where all these forts once stood. As far as taking sides, you teach history using facts, the way it happened. This is how history needs to be passed on. Thank you Cliff.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series! You've obviously done a ton of research, and each episode is very well thought out and well shot. Thank you!
So beautiful, and the birds sounds are wonderful!
Great series. I enjoy learning about these eras. I like the laid back relaxing style you have BTW.
hi what's btw?
@@hiworldstephensonultranate290 BTW = by the way
You are best! Your perspectives on everything are right on. Love your series on the French Indian War (and everything else for that matter) is so fantastic. Don't let anyone inhibit your narrative.
Great series Cliff! The shelter at Hawk Mountain is one of the perks of higher membership. At the Broadwing level, you and four guests can stay in the shelter overnight!
Another great video! As a history buff, I love hearing your stories on the past. Keep up the very good work! Have a safe week....
Wow ..... This is Great ! I love how U shifted gears from " The Ole Staredown " from the neighbors to " Story Time " with Uncle Cliff ! & nice background music , too ! U didn't miss a beat ! 😊
Great channel!
Thanks for all the footwork.
From Clearfield, PA.
Small world. I used to live in Clearfield back in the 70's and 80's. I still call it home even though I haven't lived there since 1988.
@@pawadventures5544 That's awesome! It's a great little town.
Sid's Subs and Mabel's Pizza are still great...
@@bjr2379 Sid's is the best, I've been going there since I was a kid. It's been about 10 or 15 years since I've been back to Clearfield.
Thanks for taking us long for the drive. It took me back to my childhood growing up in PA.
Thank you for the history lesson. I learn a lot from these videos.
My husband and I started watching you a few weeks ago. I really enjoy your videos. Greetings from up north in Corning. You rock!
I like your videos Cliff. They're yours. Don't let people tell what to do, or get to you. Keep up the good work.
Well spoken Cliff. Keep it simple.
I literally just finished watching the movie "Last of the Mohicans". Nice timing. 👍🏻
I find it fascinating that they put a window where the chimney is on the tavern.
Your doing a fine job keeping your videos family friendly, keep up the good work.👍🏻
That's so funny! So did I. Just mentioned it's on YT in the comments 😀
Hi Cliff, thank you so very much for this channel, I thoroughly enjoy each video that you take the time to put together to share, I love history, and nature, I feel that you do a very great job, I'm certain that most of your subscribers understand what happened during the French and Indian War, I don't feel that it be necessary for you to go into the horrific tragedies that happened on either side, it is horrible all together what took place, I live in Al my mother has Indian heritage on both sides French on one side, I think that you understand what I'm trying to explain, anyway I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your work, I enjoy every video just the beauty of Pennsylvania is so amazing for some reason I always pictured it differently, again just thank you
Really like this format of driving and talking. It’s like we’re along for the ride more than ever. I used to drive those roads in my college days, and I love seeing familiar sights. Great video!
Thanks for another great outing!
Cliff this was another amazing adventure!! Your videos are always such fun & always an interesting learning experience. I appreciate your PG approach in your videos. We do know there were awful sad things & you make it easier to hear. Great piano music! Thanks for all you teach & do for us. Take good care.🥰😘
Love this series , please keep them coming . Well done .
Thanks Cliff I enjoyed that very much Yes I love the old houses too they have such character
If I ever feel “pent” up at home in the midst of winter and the “you know what”, I watch your videos on the French and Indian War. Love the history and scenery.
Really excited since my 7th great grandfather was at Fort Franklin!
That was so cool thanks!!😊🤗I love those back roads and all the history in PA!! You’re a great teacher/storyteller 🤗😊☺️💕Looking forward to the next one!
I think you are doing a wonderful and interesting job on this series. Thank you.
LOVE these trips, Cliff! Can't know where ya goin' - if you don't know where ya been.
Very much enjoying this video thank you
Great stuff , cliff ! Such a beautiful state ! So much history!
I always look forward to the next chapter of this series, its so interesting. I do realize that it would take many hours of going into great detail regarding the massacres and the different families that were killed also. I find that when I want to know more of the story, I do lots of research online and you get lots of information regarding the history. Thanks Cliff, you are doing a very good job of telling a general history of the French & Indian War.
I’m watching some of these videos with my son, so thank you for your PG rating. I appreciate that you just share the facts of history, and let it up to the viewer to research further and form their own opinion.
Your videos are great and inspire further research in the various topics you cover.....thanks and enjoy all your videos:)
Thank you for taking the time to research this type of history and educate us with the knowledge you acquire
This is such a fantastic series I’m enjoying it so much. What a scary time that would have been. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
I love the old houses, as well. Folks can say what they want, about repairs, but those people knew how to build good homes. Mine is built like a bunker.
Hi Cliff, I have really enjoyed this series, lots on information and you actually visit the area's too which really helps to keep everything in perspective. An awesome video, thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Really enjoyed the video, thank you so much for the the history lesson!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Always good content never dull or boring. Very informative I learn things. Thankyou
I'm glad I found this series. Its been helping get me through Covid. Do you ever worry about one of these dirt roads accidentally being someone's drive way?
Love the video
Really enjoying the drive chatting. Thanks again.
I really enjoy all of your videos. They have historical facts backing them up. Great job in the research and presentation of your videos. Be safe out there and God bless!🇺🇸
I love that your teaching skills don’t stop with the classroom 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing, Cliff. Your video was interesting and well-done as always. In my opinion, you have just the right mix of information. Some people are hard to please and quick to grumble. Ignore them and keep up your good work.
Schaumbacher's tavern was at one time, the residences of Muaricey Braun and his wife Irma. They started Hawk Mountain. I appreciate your wholesome videos. Some people just have to pick sides/viewpoints/opinions. It is history; it happened. Can't change that. Thanks for helping to keep history alive!!!!!
You are an awesome storyteller Cliff. Really enjoy your series.
keep up the great work, and it is work -- i am still learning so much from watching these personal history lessons. thanks
The French and Indian War is such a fascinating time in our nation's history, and we don't know nearly enough about it. I had relatives who likely served with George Washington, but can't find any records from that time period. Loved the video.
I have enjoyed this series very much. I have been through some of that area and did not realize about the Forts. Been pass the tavern several times. You should list the GPS coordinates to make it easier to find. Well thanks and keep up the good work.
🌲🦌🌲 thank you for sharing your video today stay safe and healthy out there 🌲
thank for the PG, I can do more research when I want to know more
My great x3 grandfather Landis Young was in this war. Thanks for the upload.
I think you are doing a great job with the history of the French and Indian War. I am looking forward the the Gnadenhutten video. I had ancestors involved in that one. I always loved PA History.
I think your videos are a great learning experience for all. Thank you so much. When you were in Lynnport you were about 2 miles from Leaser lake. It is right at the base of the mountain and it is a public park. Very scenic and a great place for your Kayak. No motorboats allowed. I think you would like it. I enjoyed your journey. Be well.
Thank you

Does Pennsylvania ever have clear skies? It was seems overcast, gloomy, and wet for some reason.
Not to be negative......overcast, dark, and gloomy is the norm.........in Pennsylvania.
RELAX
It was a beautiful day here today.
I agree....it was a beautiful day!:). But it can be dark and gloomy for days on end.....
@James Vw.....What’s your issue?! As my COMMENT stated....”NOT to be negative”.
Surprised people have a problem with your presentation. Do you have any idea of the size of the garrisons--were these a combination of British regulars and militia? Great series--looking forward to the next installment
No British soldiers at these forts, mostly locals.
I did a lot of personal research on Fort Franklin about 30 years ago. I placed it right next to where you parked your Jeep.
Hey Cliff, still catching up on some older videos. Some a few months old others a few years, "always" fascinating history. Thanks so much. As to the few haters, I never figured them out. On the TV/radio there are knobs for on/off volume and changing the station. My advice to them--shut up and shut it off or change the station.
They built a replica of Fort Everett (or at least as close as they could get with information on hand). It is located at Ontelaunee Park in New Tripoli.
Great job I live in a part of new England that was the front lines in the french and indian war or the 7 years war in europe and lasted 9 years in the usa . I live in the part of massachusetts where there were massacre at fort Massachusetts USA and deerfield Massachusetts is just the other side of the mountain .
Is Captain Morgan the same one that became Colonel Jacop Morgan and founded Morgantown Pennsylvania in 1752. In Berks County?
I hear faint Piano music starting at the beginning of the video up until the 15:20 mark, Cliff. Was that coming from the vehicles stereo ? It was very soothing and relaxing. I liked it. Good post again as well 👍
PS: Those stories surrounding the Schaumboch's Tavern are very twisted and disturbing, yet eerily intriguing to say the least. It brings to mind that horror movie from 1980 called Motel Hell for me.
I added the music.
I enjoy your videos and I never felt you stepped out of line on any subject. Please don't get all homogenized on us because you have some complainers! Keep your humor and tell us the facts! I know you won't withhold facts or water down important facts concerning the subjects you talk to us about and I appreciate it! Thank you, Cliff!
People need to learn what Thay preach I like watching you videos
I like how you don't use the name of "you know what" as you say it.
What... The common cold?
@@dconfused9919 Actually mullein tea sooths sore throats by liquifying excess mucus.
I'm not sure you can present history without your opinion weighing in but I very much enjoy your travelscapes. My focus has been on the Indian wars in New England and they track with your PA stories. Just a brutal period.
It takes all kinds of critters to make farmer Vincents Fritters
Interesting..
the bldgs at hawk mountain near the tavern by the road were scout shelters. camped there whe.
when I was a girl scout in early 60's. boy scouts also used the shelters.
The Real America as i said b4 Brian Ireland Beautiful n Blessings
The French Indian war content is extremely interesting and I don't get the feeling you are taking sides. In fact I can see that you are totally avoiding taking sides. I believe everyone can't assume what happened to the settlers from your stories without the gore. Thanks. I live close to Fort Ligonier and Fort Necessity.
There's a fort in hannastown PA fort hannahstown it's out by Greensburg off of 119 that was French and Indian
Just to be picky, but I sure do LOVE history. Fort Everett is located about 300 feet north from the historical marker and that would put it around the cell phone tower behind the white garage and behind the parking lot that you parked at behind the municipal building according to google earth. You were close in guessing to location. Will be waiting patiently for the next video. Cheers from far Southeast Wisconsin.
When you deal with the public you always get people who agitate for attention or they are not happy being who they are. Don't have to justify yourself for their cause. They can watch something else.
Don't even waste your time
Well said. You can't please everybody and you don't have to!
Check this out real quick. You got 100000 followers that love this channel. Please don't be persuaded by the haters.
are you familiar w/o the the Indian massacre at Strausstown on bloody springs road. some of my deceased relatives lived there.
thanks for nice story and one more question...place where killed gerhardt familly is same spot where is tavern today or somewhere around..thanks and greetings from croatia
Burnt cabins is a good place also
I don't pick sides. Unless it's Redrover
What do you use for resources to research advise ?
To quote the song we can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself. Your level of details getting me seem to be mean to me I appreciate the history
does the sun ever shine in PA? i dont think ive ever seen it in any of your videos. lol
Hello from Ohio I don't like going into full details about Indian or who Evers massacres either because my grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian to
If someone wants the rest of the story tell em, to watch the movie " Jeramia Jhonson" great movie. I find no trouble believing that they DO have an Indian buried in their yard somewhere. May they rest in peace.
Last of the Mohicans is on YT
Watched it.
The Wandering Woodsman I'm glad you saw it. Have a great weekend 👋

Maybe use a bullet list in your videos. . . viewers would know what the video will cover ( topics)
I said what the video would cover at the beginning of the video..
Come out to western pa. where the war was actually fought.
Fort William Henry is in New York, what a rude comment.
👍
My father did a paper on the Indian white issues treaties were broken by both sides most of the land was purchased from the Indians neither side was blame free I venture to say the purchase price was on the light side
In a letter written by Valentine Probst to Jacob Levan, of Maxatawney, dated February 15, 1756, he gives the following account of another murder:
Mr. Levan:
I cannot omit writing about the dreadful circumstances of our township, Albany [see this under Fort Henry also]. The Indians came yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, to Frederick Reichelderfer's house, as he was feeding his horses, and two of the Indians ran upon him, and followed him into a field ten or twelve perches off; but he escaped and ran toward Jacob Gerhart's house, with a design to fetch some arms. When he came near Gerhart's, he heard a lamentable cry, 'Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus!' which made him run back towards his own house; but before he got quite home, he saw his house and stable in flames; and heard all the cattle bellowing, and thereupon ran away again. Two of his children were shot, one of them was found dead in his field, the other was found alive, and brought to Hakenbrook's house, but died three hours after. All his grain and cattle are burnt up. At Jacob Gerhart's they have killed one man, two women, and six children. Two children slipped under the bed; one of which was burned; the other escaped, and ran a mile to get to the people. We desire help, or we must leave our homes.
Yours,
VALENTINE PROBST.
You'll never make everyone happy. Screw them you do you.
Pennsylvania is beautiful weather your in the woods or on the road.
great vid... too bad these trump supporters can not get over it and take down the stupid signs
Yes, being pro American is a bad thing?! Get lost.... take your politics elsewhere......
@@fluffyotter1601 that is not being pro american that is being pro trump and trump was anything but pro amerian
