This is awesome! Thanks for shedding light on this work. I’ll definitely have to take a read!

As a confederate c.w. historical impressionist our go to arm was the 1842 smooth bore musket..only reason it was replaced was the quantity in the south once the state military stores ran out as the war rolled on. BTW nice informative video.

I wonder if you can use comb instead of wooden knife and the pins to separate the high quality fiber.

Thank u sir Great connection between yellow color n garden. Jussojuan

Campfire smoke will always blow in your eyes...always.

Tow-headed is short blonde hair 🤯

Morgan is the man you guys do a great job! Thank you

Do you get into the muskets acquired for the civil war that were converted to percussion?

Thanks for the book review

Excellent

My Dad was Curator of West Point Museum before President Eisenhower told HST he found the CURATORS CURATOR- dad worked with his office next to HST’s. We had a wonderful life growing up. Dad was historian, Wrote Patton & His Pistols while at WP. He restored Historical Buildings, Battlefields and his final was Jesse’s James Farm & Home. I have all his records, journals he kept daily as he wrote conversations with HST & so many dignitaries. Have a huge collection that needs to be put back in History. I loved WP, marched to John Phillips Souza for years after moving from WP, loved watching marching bands and the music. What a life. Have so many history to share.

Loved this video just wanted to mention that a lot patriotic people boycotted British imports during the revolution and home cloth spinning became more widespread.

One aspect of home cloth making in the 18th century was it’s connection to the boycott of taxed British imports patriotic women made their own or did without

Linen was also made from hemp. I know it’s easy to say & not think about what was said, but the 18th century definition defines linen as being from flax & hemp.

I wish someday to visit the museum

A phrase I learnt regarding Sheffield steel “She’s Sheffield steel warrant never to fail.”

At sometime in the past they preferred men to have facial hair in war to look more manly and threatening

Lmao as a broke college student I made the same thing but with the remains of a costco cooked chicken lmao

This excellent video deserves far more likes.

Suscribed !

That's not Mr. Townsend ! Needs Nutmeg !!!

How was your skin a couple of hours/days afterwards?

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you ❤

New subscriber. I’m going make the soup before summer heat arrives.

Thank you for pointing out that the militia drilled and knew how to drill prior to the childish story about von Steuben at Valley Forge that is beaten to death. I know this video shows British regulars performing the drill - but could your militia group show Timothy Pickering's drill as well.

Yes! I thought already that you guys have stopped making videos.

Our ancesters never let anything go to waist. Were so waistful in our world today. All of the fecies and urin were thrown into the garden for furtalizer. We are no different than animals who go to the bathroom on the ground but we found it grose to deal with so we created all these dumb things. For granted modern sanitation is abosutly needed especially if your doing these types of things but even God came up with a purpose for everything we think its garbage or waist and we just let it sot outside. If we just figured out how to work with the environment thats what they had outhouses for you could scoup that up and mix it with thr decomposing vegitation and make compost with it. We should all be finding anchent machanics they used in the past to help with modern solutions to our problems. People even baithed back then. They took bird baths to conserve water because they had to haul their own.

Does anyone know about Daniel Morgan's friendship with Elijah Issack?

Daniel Morgan served with his first cousin Daniel Boone during Braddock's campaign.

Great video! My kids and I really enjoyed it.

I thought you had to be careful about where you built a fire -- like a place without the possibility of the fire being fed by flammable material -- do you know there is nothing in the grass that could catch and spread the fire?

As far as the American Revolution being a "brother-against-brother, the war continued in South Carolina 6 years because the Loyalists and Patriots continued the bloody battles against one another.

Huzzay!

His daughter was married to the tax collector that was attackee by the Whiskey rebels. Does anyone know anything about that gold medal he got?

Long video with no information! This truly sucked

What a great video! Thanks so much

Do you leave the wool in the dye for an hour while it’s still boiling ? Thank you! Great video

Greetings from south Texas! Awesome to see Revolutionary War collections from the West Point. Museum. I've previously seen some of incredible Civil War items from the museum.

Back in the day the saying was "man to the plough, wife to the cow, girl to the yarn, boy to the barn"

Thank you for sharing.🐂

And also noting, American army, even early on they follow this with shaving required. No more then three days growth.

Proud to be a descendant of one of his riflemen! …..Grandfather Pvt William Moses Ray, Cabell’s 6th VA Regiment. …….Grandfather Colonel John Green was a Colonel in the 6th Va from 1778-1783. Both attached to Daniel Morgan.

Love that content is back on the channel! Hope more is to come!!

Actually I worked in kitchens a long time, my family is full of chefs/cooks. That cut of meat and chuck eye steak are some of my favorites. You want good flavor in meat, get it next to the bone. Bonus feature, stewing that cut wil make excellent broth; becuase of the morrow.

You know it’s crazy how strong genetics are. I come from the Randolph family, William Henry’s. Nearly all my family members on that side have died from strokes. Even my brother had a stroke at 52 and passed away. Peyton died from a stroke at 54 and if I went through my genealogy I’m sure it would be quite a long list in 400 years.

Animal cruelty

What are some practices that troops would do to clean their mess kits after cooking? To keep flies and other pests away of course. Just really curious.

The late Patrick McManus wrote a story about hunters making soup in the tall timber. What ever was in their back packs went in to the pot. Sans spice and probably no salt I bet this is bland, but beats the heck out of ships bread and water

100,000 imported. Men fought with their own militia guns and with captured besses, by a hundred thousand of these imported. Yet it’s unlikely more than thirty thousand colonials ever fought for the American side. Guns got busted and lost, but that’s atleast three Charlies for every American soldier Another point to look at, is the colonies population was about two million. Roughly six hundred thousand men between 16 and 50. No society of the time could mobilize a tenth of its potential fighting force. And according to Franklin 1/3 of the colonist were Tory and 1/3 didn’t care. So the max potential was two hundred thousand fighting men, and the realistic number about twenty thousand So the French sent over five muskets for every new US army man at arms
