Make sure you have some good winter coats. If you are non-native, it will take you a year or two before your body is ok with the "wet cold" of our winters. (as opposed to the "dry cold" you find at much higher elevations).
Yes, Bloody Knox is on my list of sites. Health got in the way and that was why I switched over to a couch historian. BUT... as I regain health, those sites will be hit before I die (inferring that they might not make it to the channel because death is always looming).
To this day this was the emotionally most difficult story to tell. The second most difficult was the Lost Children of the Alleghenies. This third was the Three Babes.
It is. A friend of mine is dismantling the Phillips block house by the order of the property owners. I asked him to take a few pieces of the block house wall so I can have a piece of history that Captain Phillips and his son had set hand on pre-massacre.
Captain Phillips is my 3rd great grandfather. His daughter by his second marriage to Sarah Bailey on 23 April 1803, is my 2nd great grandmother. She married John Fryer in Green KY on 1 October 1833. Their daughter, Elizabeth Willis Fryer, married John Bunyan Vaughn and their son Thomas Grief Vaughn, was my grandfather on my mother's side. According to my information, Capt. William Phillips, Sr. died on 22 December 1830 in Green KY.
@@ODDySEEy Your video is outstanding and I've recommended it to all of my adult children. BTW the ultimate irony is that for the past 45 years I have lived and raised my family on the Allegany Reservation of the Seneca Nation of Indians in the City of Salamanca, NY; the only City on an Indian Reservation.I visited the Memorial last weekend for the first time and plan to take my daughter to it at the end of July. Thanks again for your excellent video!
Thank you Steven, I tried getting more image content into this video (because I am not a fan of it being mostly me in the video) but unfortunately, a LOT of the buildings, maps, history are just LOST for this County (at least back that far in time).
@@inhaleingsmoke That is one of my goals. I see or hear of these abandoned places of history and think... WHY was it abandoned, WHAT was it? And I actually decided to go and find out (both physically and historically). My main focus is to hit sites that have a story... I am trying to be different than most urban explorers who just walk through an empty or abandoned location and leave more questions than they do answers. :)
@@ODDySEEy You need to look it up. Joseph Roberts was massacred with the other 10 rangers. I would like to know how to have his name added to the monument. He should be honoured with the other rangers who lost their lives.
@@davidcauffield710 It's a pleasure to meet you sir. I'm from the area and my maiden name is Roberts but when I do ancestry I keep getting stuck with my 2 great grandfather. I was hoping to have actual proof of being related and talk with someone in the VFW about how would it be possible to add his name to the monument with the other names but without proof of being actually related I don't think that I would get anywhere. It's in the Pennsylvania archives that he was there. I think his wife's name is Agnes.
I have visited this site a few times a year since a friend took me to it on our Harleys several years ago. I believe I have located at least 2 additional graves below the monument. The site is surrounded by stones below the Flag pole headed out on the right side of the road. Since other investigations have taken place, maybe this area is worthy.

Thank you for the beautiful doc as my 2 uncles Skelly brothers are buried and rest as well.
This was an emotionally wrenching story to tell. Times back then were really rough.
They are my ancestors as well.
My goodness, that is a moving piece of history. I can't wait to get to Pennsylvania and the surrounding area to explore. Thanks from North Florida

I've visited that monument dozens of times and never knew the whole story. Thank you for this!! Such an interesting story.
Changes the way you walk the grounds when you know the whole story.
Thank you 🗽
Great video. I read this story in my genealogy . Phillip and Hugh Skelly are my ancestors.
Such a sad story for great people.
Thanks for keeping American history alive!
;) somebody has to give a shit before all the monuments are taken down by idiots.
Wondering if you are aware of Bloody Knox Log Cabin
KellyTown, PA

I love your videos ❤I love History so much!! True History 😁❤🎉❤🎉

Very nice. I have been studying this event for 15 years. You paid those men a great honor!
Wow, thank you. It is a hard to tell "war story" when you actually look at all aspects of what was going on at the time.
It is. A friend of mine is dismantling the Phillips block house by the order of the property owners. I asked him to take a few pieces of the block house wall so I can have a piece of history that Captain Phillips and his son had set hand on pre-massacre.
Fredrick Heater is a ancestor of mine . I learned from genealogy research in fact his great grandson served in the Civil War and became a P.O.W.
Great information

Very nice job! Very interesting. LOL...I've been to the cache just up the road from there at the base of the mountain.
I actually had a difficult time finding it... but had fun looking :D
Very good sir

I'm a local so I've been to most of these place but I never knew the history it's nice that someone is bring new light to them

Awesome, thanks for video
👍🏼
Great job
😀
Watching this one for about the fifth time.
You failed to talk about the 2 men from the Pennsylvania archives that were not put on the monument. 1 of the men being Joseph Roberts
It was a story of the incident and the monument, not the failings of the contractors and local dedicators.

@@herestrouble8183 Joseph Roberts was my Great (5) Grandfather

John Piper is my 5th great grandfather.
😮
John Piper’s position was appreciated by my family and the Skelly family my great gmother was a Skelly

I would concur. I think the entire site should at least be fully documented for anything that remains.
forgive the spelling but: CHINKLOCKAMOOSE is in fact Clearfield, Pa. the old village.
