The “Twin Bridges” of I-87 in New York near Saratoga are named for him. The video also shared a monument to him that is displayed in the Saratoga Historical Park.

Was he doing it for just personal gain, fame and fortune? Could be true but in his own words his "only object" and "greatest ambition" was to "render your Country all the Services in my Power, and to deserve the title of the Citizen of America by fighting for the Cause of your Liberty."

This Grandfather of mine had 5 kids with my Granny and her surname was Crowell, she always told us that he died jumping trains to get medicine, but this makes no since since genealogy doesn’t list Cylde’s parents or were he was literally born only were he’s possibly from. Makes me think he was a Spy

This is for all the Morgan’s, do any of you have a relative named Clyde Morgan or a Morgan who came from Tennessee/ Kentucky, in the mid to late 1940s?. I’m looking for my Great Grandfather, evertime I do a genealogy there’s weird documents missing

In regard to Zebulon Pike's book after being released from the Spanish prison, his notes he made were rolled up and hidden in the group's gun barrels. The Americans were not allowed any ammo Yes, Wilkinson had everything to do with this expedition being a "spy" venture like he also did with Philip Nolan's "mustanging" operation a few years earlier into Texas. 12:09 12:09

When I was a kid at Battlefield Park Elememtary School, in Hanover County, Virginia, there was a book in the library called "Dan Morgan, Rifleman." This was a biography intended for children. I remember reading the story about the 500 lashes, and I think this video is the first place I have heard that story retold in the last 60 or so years. Daniel Morgan was one of my hero's growning up, along with Washington, Lee, Jackson, and a host of other Virginians. Good video. You have a knack for telling a story.

Yes, townspeople hated all lawyers, and we're not generally disposed of to be cooperative at all when it came to government either, so, might as well get the case going as soon as possible...would not have become the United States because of those Farmers if they had their way...sleight of hand had to bypass them by scheduling a vote without letting them know that NH had an opportunity to sign the Constitution so the vote went the way it went and as NH went, rest of the Colonies went too, as everyone was up in the air about it...Repeat of history now, the Farmers (metaphor Maga) want a king

Understood that JS tried to reason with the 6 tribes confederation to stop working for the British who gave them guns, quit harassing the colonials...so President Washington asked JS and Clinton to remove the 40 villages, some of the tribes like the Lenapi relocated to Oklahoma

I really wish people would stop parroting incorrect ranges of smoothbores. Modern study after study after exercise after experiment has been performed in a peer reviewed manner disproving that they were inaccurate; multiple sources disprove the nonsense that soldiers didn't even aim. If people would just get out and shoot muskets they'd know how absurd this garbage regurgitated ad nauseum really is. I hit a paper plate, the size of a man's face, regularly at 100 yards with my .62 English Trade Gun. You can hit a torso reliably at 125 yards. However after that they deviate fast. Now take into account the natural heavy overgrowth in the Eastern US. Now consider most modern shooters with a modern rifle with modern iron sights can't hit a paper plate at 100 yards. Now consider the most common round was buck and ball. They were hitting plenty at 100 and even 300 yards since the goal was to aim at the Lin in front of you, not target individual troops. Inaccurate indeed 🤨

Gates is a terrible tactician and he’s certainly not the “hero of Saratoga”. That title goes to Benedict Arnold, Timothy Murphy, Daniel Morgan and/ or Phillip Schuyler.

Unfortunately, the assessment that the Militia and the hit-and-run tactics used were Morgans's own...is, so to speak, missing the mark. These go as far back as the French and Indian War (the 75th Ranger Regiment traces its lineage to this period with Rogers...not to the later period with Morgan.

He’s not a hero. He almost starved the continental army to death at Valley Forge. He was intentionally a terrible quartermaster because he wanted gates and not Washington to be the commander in chief. And it was Nathanael Greene that saved them.
