Enjoyed watching this video! Reminded me of when I was a kid, my Pap would take me to explore Fort Ligonier, off rout 30. The design of these types of Forts always amazed me. We also enjoyed exploring the Battle field of Bushy Run "North America's forgotten conflict" which is only about a half hour ride from Fort Ligonier, towards Pittsburgh. It made a nice day outing.

Another great video in this series. I am attempting to locate all of the Fort locations in this war, and many times you have been a big help in my search. Fort Hyndshaw has been one I have tried to find many times with little sucess. It is great when you can pinpoint the exact location of a certain fort, but I have come to realize it is just as much of a reward to sometimes get within a quarter mile of the location. Thank you and have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

[@rickporvaznik5030]

No one knows where Ft. Hyndshaw was exactly. We might have come close to finding the location.

Hi Cliff, what an awesome drive, there are still quite a few area's where there is still colour left and those reds look amazing on camera. A very informative drive and I enjoyed listening to the history. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

[@kateclark7250]

Thank you for the history lesson, Cliff, and for the pleasant drive with you and Naomi.

I wish ppl would fall in love with ur channel I've learned so much from your channel I'm huge into history and historical places it fascinates me seemingly just like u it's like I'm there with u I went to school for history and pa where I'm from was wat I wanted to teach Pennsylvania history but I learn things I never knew I soon myself will start hiking this beautiful state and appreciate it for all the history and joy that history and wat once was can bring

[@heberje]

Nice going on these drives. Thanks I need to get out of the house every once in a while. lol

[@tomtransport]

Thanks Cliff, watched this on the bedroom TV last night. These history lessons on the F & I wars are fascinating. Must have been horrific to be part of one of those massacre's and or taken prisoner/hostage/slave/etc. Reminds me of the best J Wayne movie ever produced, (just my opinion) The Searchers. I know it was not the same as the French and Indian wars.

[@josephmcgrath3152]

Great series , thank you for these woodsman.

[@charlesb5333]

Thanks. I love your stories

[@glennjudd2467]

Another beautiful drive & history'! Too bad the original forts are gone !

[@rickporvaznik5030]

The fort at Depuy was near the old house, not at the exact location. We think Hyndshaw was near where the Bushkill Creek goes into the Delaware River on a hill.

Thank you for this wonderful video, I am a new subscriber!

[@57Banjoman]

What interesting history you have in PA. Very cool-like your choice of driving music, too. Thanks, Cliff!

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Oh great being back into this series, I’m finding this history fantastic. One thing often bothers me when soldiers took peoples homes where do they live especially if they have not other family.? Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

[@tangara7166]

McDade trail is just made to allow foot and bike traffic a place to go instead of using River Road. Park Service recreational trail, connects, or will, to other locations in and near the park. You missed our newest national park, Cherry Valley NWR. You'll have to come back!

[@awadventures6230]

Love Country Junction! Perfect weather too btw. What a great drive.

[@maxwellshouse]

I absolutely love your content. I'm a subscriber of yours on my other KZbin account, and now a subscriber on my new realtor vlogging channel. This is one of your best videos in my opinion....literally felt like I was there with you exploring. I'm extremely interested in the French/Indian, revolutionary, and civil wars and those times. I am constantly visiting Gettysburg....its actually my favorite place in the world, especially the Dobbin House! Love how you add the music in the background in this video and your highway/road videos. The sound of the fiddle and banjo brings me back to those times. This video has great flow. As a new vlogger, I'm extremely rusty and have a hard time talking in front of the camera....I just keep babbling. Just getting the hang of editing, but have a lot of learning to do. Watching your content, without a doubt, helps me. Keep up the good work, and give me a follow! Maybe you can give me a few pointers... I can definitely use em! Lol.

Happy Thanksgiving Cliff...it is so wonderful to be an American

[@DiggerDadRC]

Happy Thanksgiving! Appreciate all your videos. Thank you!

[@user-David-Alan]

[@pmjmiller]

[@joemabry9643]

Thank you! Good music! Onward!

[@jwright1253]

Love your history videos

[@markhill2279]

Just wondering if you ever went looking for the end point of the Walking Purchase??

[@chrisgregor7340]

Love the music

[@beverlymerkel6522]

Really interesting drive today. Beautiful leaves, thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@scottharperesq]

Don't forget Fort Granville. It would be nice if it's location is finally discovered.

[@awadventures6230]

What kind of trees were they(red/pink leaves)? Soo beautiful!

[@tangara7166]

Winged Euonymus, E. alatus, an invasive plant. That's why you see so much. Just fills the understory in there.

[@chrisgray8774]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

What a Lovely video searching for forts in Pa. on this Thanksgiving day with a fresh CuppaJO and a WW adventure! There is lots of beautiful country here in our state. And the background mountain music along the way was very fitting. Thanks Kindly WW and a Fine Thanksgiving to You and your Family! DaveyJO

[@tangara7166]

It's okay, you could have gotten out and looked around at fort depew. It's private, but they don't usually hassle visitors. Plenty of time share rentals, so visitors are common. The Delaware is right behind the fort.

[@roelf8653]

Happy Thanksgiving, Cliff. Thanks for another great video.

[@bulldogbrower6732]

Too bad that you had bad weather up there in the Poconos, hope you return someday when the weather is nice and show some of those waterfalls in the Poconos.

[@tangara7166]

Weather here is never bad, just differently good!

[@kathyphilmurphy5517]

Happy Thanksgiving Day, my favorite wandering woodsman. Always enjoy your videos.

[@dave3156]

Cliff I really enjoy this series. How many men would be stationed at these forts? I presume they would be a combination of militia and British regulars? Happy Thanksgiving!

[@DonDon-zm3vz]

it really depends . could be as much as a full regiment , sometimes more sometimes less . But you have to remember military units we’re almost never at full strength especially during this period . So a full regiment of regulars might only field a few hundred men

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

whow ist time i seen u drive on an interstate highway ! Brian

[@karenpacker8862]

Happy Thanksgiving Cliff!

[@derekmanthey8811]

Have you ever done a video on Tom Quick the "Indian Slayer"

[@nickmad887]

Good video.

[@mikewendland4982]

There was a massacre of British troops and militia along the Delaware river by a pile of rocks during the F&I War that I was at in the mid-70s. I remember a plaque with a recording that explained what happened, but I don't remember anything else about it.

[@Pwrcritter]

Tuff times. Many such forts in Wv as well..

[@jeffryheintz9405]

OE in German is usually pronounced as AY, So likely "Hayth".

[@unyieldingcreek1]

I am envious in the fact that y'all's speed limits are not ludicrous speed like they are in Texas. You can actually see things as you go down the roads, I live in a rural area and even the farm to market roads are 60-75mph hour speed limit and on little two lane roads it is hard to look around, you have to very closely pay attention to what others are doing.

The only thing I know about when it comes to the french and Indian war is Montcalm was a incompetent general 😭

[@conniecrawford5231]

Maybe Mont calm couldn’t spell, just like you! Lol.

[@marcafterdark1003]

@@conniecrawford5231 Connie crawfish thanks 👍

[@simballa660]

Then how did he defeat 15 thousand british troops at fort Ticondiroga with only 3 thousand troops of his own in 1758? He was also honorable.he stopped the massacre of women, children and soldiers who had surrendered after the fall of fort william henry in new york state.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

[@lynnmor2101]

When searching for historic sites, keep in mind that they needed a secure water source, preferably a spring. Wells may have been used but that takes a lot of time and effort.
