I was born and raised in Mobile, and found this very informative. Never knew about Geronimo and the Apache being locked up here. Only one gripe I have is they didn’t mention that Mobile is the birthplace of Mardi Gras. I wonder why.

Great breif history of Mobile. My Father was raised in Robertsdale, Bayou la batre, and Mobile. Love Dauphin Island, Orange Beach and east side of bay has gotten way to over populated and touristy for my likings. Im 61 now . When i was around 7 or 8 you could go to Orange Beach and stand on the asphalt highway and see across the wide sugar white sand and see the gulf all up and down the beach. Now you see the backside of 30 story buildings. 😭😭😭

I stayed at a Halfway house on Duvall St. Off of DIP. I worked for a company that had the grass cutting contract for Hank Aaron Loop and several other places. It really is a Beautiful City. Sure it has its abandoned houses and such. But the people made me feel right at home. There are A LOT of Mardi Gras beads laying just below the ground. The original home of the Holiday BTW. Weed eater slung quite a few Booby beads here n there. Damn good food. The Gas Station I frequented had some awesome. Lao shun food. The chicken was killer too. I ran into a guy who was doing some restoration on one of the old houses. He was taking the old steps that went into the basement out. He found a Old Griswold Cap N Ball pistol made in a southern gun factory. It was still loaded in a rotten leather holster. It still had the brass though it was rotten and green. And a leather ball pouch with caps wrapped in a rotten canvas rag. Ol Boy probably surrendered from there or the owner of the house had it put up because they took most of the firearms. Spanish Fort is worth a visit. There by the onramp to the interstate.Another place I did the weed eating at Hank Aaron Loop. Nicholas Cage filmed a scene in the Movie Rage. Right there under the ramp. I saw the movie and said. Damn that looks familiar. Then I saw the Fort. I just might move back there one day.

That's incorrect .the french named it after the tribe they found native to the lands named the Maubilla. They moved down the tombigbee closer to the mouth of the river. The closest choctaw word to reference would probably be Moila "to paddle". But I'm sure someone from the Poarch Creek or MOWA bands could give more history

@@CHASIN_A_BASS My friend, I 100% know that! I’m from Mobile and I know all about the history. Since you missed the point I was getting at I’ll explain it. Mobile is a city that has been asleep at the wheel since it’s beginning. Nothing ever comes to Mobile and what little does never lasts. What’s a Mobile‘s claim to fame? The birthplace of Mardi Gras and that’s about it! Meanwhile Mardi Gras in New Orleans makes Mobile’s Mardi Gras look like a circus sideshow. aside from that the crooked politicians who have ran Mobile (most of which are now dead) have ruined Mobile’s name to the point of where hardly anything or anyone wants to come here. What Gary Greenough and his crooked bunch did with that auditorium ticket scandal back in the mid-1980s is a shining example of it. I have a late uncle who used to say it best: “Mobile is nothing but a graveyard with lights!” Now do you understand what I was getting at?

This video doesn't EVEN come CLOSE to describing the rich history of Mobile!🤣 If you REALLY want to know, start here: *When were the numerous STARFORTS built, and for what reason? Who built Fort Conde? (And don't say the French) *When was the old GM&O [train station] built, or the Mobile Co. Courthouse? Who "found" them? Who made use of the 'FREE MASONRY' left behind by those before us? *What was the real reason behind the Civil War? How many 5-inch cannonballs did it take to destroy an old world building, and how many pick & axe soldiers were needed finish off a set of ancient ruins? How many U.S. Gov't workers did it take to hide [Giant] Native American burial mounds by covering them underneath a new military base (or a golf course)? If you want know ANY of the SUPER- FASCINATING history of the Mobile area, research the above topics, and I think you'll find Napoleon was right when he said, "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Plus, it will change the way you think... FOREVER, but in a good way!😁❤ GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY & MAY YOU ALWAYS SEEK & FIND TRUTH!

I know that My Stewart family has a lot of history there and they are Royal Bloodline from France and Brittany. I know that I have the same Y-DNA linkage as Gershom Newton Stewart and all of his Father's above. All I need is the rest of his modern Family Tree and I will know exactly which Stewart is my father. The problem is that I can't find anyone who knows or wants to share that with me.
