Very interesting. This is probably one of your best, because it brings everything together.

[@mattdyer4955]

Ancap for the win

[@boedhaspeaks]

I wouldnt mind more of this kind of vids :)

[@Luke-hb9fn]

I know its late but I agree!

[@mandym7674]

Can you do a room tour please? would like to see your collection and hear more about how you made those custom displays.

[@TempoDrift1480]

Dude, fantastic video. At 35, I've been rather interested in civil war era history and equipment but this is beyond anything I've seen before. I can only imagine the joy of finding stuff like that. Thanks for spending the time to post this, I will most definitely be subscribing.

[@daveschuetrum576]

Well...That was really exciting for me!

[@justicews]

Wow Chigg! Retired armored cavalry officer and I had little understanding of the Civil War artillery. Thanks for the education.

[@stevexray6253]

That was very educational. You had my attention so much that I looked and listened instead of looking at all of the relics on the wall. 👍😆

[@joewood9307]

more of this sort of thing please, really interesting

[@mike03a3]

A great video explaining the fuses!! One minor nit, Jeff Davis was not Secretary of War (not defense) immediately prior to the war, he was a US Senator for Mississippi and giving speeches against Secession. He became Secretary of war in 1853 under Pierce and did a lot to improve the US Army, increasing its size and replacing the M1842 smooth bore muskets with Rifle-Muskets based on his experiences with rifles in the Mexican war. He returned to the Senate in 1857.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

wow i never knew those fuses were that complex back then .....thanks for the lesson chiggg

[@jjtman49]

it's always a good day when you learn something new !!!....Thanks!!!!

[@hooper4581]

[@Tennesseeman20]

I watch for the entertainment and i like your character. but also i have learned much more about the civil war from your videos than i was ever taught in school , and i just want to say . Thank you . Sincerely . Thank you .

[@Hylanda11800]

[@twots22]

Very swell video. Thank you for all of your time you take for us all. You are very interesting to watch. Keep up the great finds.

[@Rottingboards]

As a US Air Force Weapons Specialist. That was a fascinating video. I thought they were just round balls shot through the air. They were so much more deadly. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

[@11bravo47]

the fuse or fuze adaptors you found in the ocean are so clean its amazing!

[@StarlightEater]

I like his level of shot outness. With the cannonballs n all.

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Thanks Beau! I really hated history when I was young and in school. But now I find it more interesting I guess a little more hands on or more videos showing things like you do is more exciting than a text book. At least to me.

[@Soulpowerstrength]

Thanks for the videos chigg. Always happy when you upload a new one. Great video!

[@johnbeachler4936]

Very interesting topic Beau. I'm glad that you took the time to put the video together. Thanks
