Very interesting. Keep up your good work. I wish kids (of all ages) knew more about our history and heritage. I would like to get the book about the longhunters you referred to. Can you post some information. By the way, I have been to the Shaker Village. It is north of Nashville. You can google it. You will love their history.
Thank you.
The book I spoke about was "The Hunters of Kentucky: A Narrative History of America’s First Far West" by Ted Franklin Belue; another one that tells of his trip through the wilderness is "The Hidden History of Southeast Tennessee" by Joe Guy. Both are excellent reads. Glad you liked the video!
My ancestor William Patrick Vaughn was said to have been a longhunter. Love learning what i can on this topic. Thank you.
You’re most welcome. Thanks for watching!
