Love, love, love this video. The country I grew up in!!!! Thank you for sharing, JD, and for the history lesson

[@jkelly78]

Just stumbled across your videos. Thanks for making these! Very well done sir!

[@aaronwestmusic7171]

Dude your channel is incredible! Can't get enough of it! It's a treasure trove for a true history fan!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

AaronWestMusic - Thanks! It means a lot to hear that from another fan of history. If there happen to be a few videos that you like more than other and you wouldn’t mind sharing from time to time, I’d appreciate it. The more people that can connect with and learn about history, the better. Glad you’re liking them!

@@TheHistoryUnderground love American history, have you done anything on Indians or maybe the spot of custers last stand?

[@benjaminrush4443]

Great that I'm getting to enjoy many of your earlier Videos. Thanks.

Lincoln was all in with our Founding Fathers. With this act he was insuring that our most prized possessions', freedom and liberty, would span from ocean to ocean. I cannot imagine a better shepherd to forward the cause. It is true, then and now, the world needs a strong America.

My great great grandparents homesteaded near Ft Collins in 1872. He was a Union soldier and therefore his "proving up" time was shortened by either 2 or 3 years.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Wow!

[@vawterb]

Love the Colorado Stream! What a place!

[@carolhofhine560]

Beautiful place.

[@oldermusiclover]

we had a similar wringer set up when I was really young also a wringer washer for many years

[@michellepotter628]

Really enjoyed this one!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@mrs.g.9816]

Oooh! I wish I can visit Rocky Mountain National Park. So wide open and lovely. I'm spoiled, though. I need a hotel with running water, electricity and running water. I remember ringer-washers. My grandma had one.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

It's quite the place.

[@jonathantitus2629]

I could easily homestead there!

Check out the battlefield in Greensboro NC over the courthouse

[@cliffright1142]

JD, some of the best parts of your adventures is when you take the time to let the viewer see the natural beauty our Country holds to this day. I’d love to fly fish that stream and will this next summer. Can never thank you and your family enough for bringing us these videos. I hope you have a long and prosperous career doing this.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks! I appreciate that. And I had the exact same thought at that stream. Wouldn't have minded pulling a few brook trout out of there.

[@user-cs3zs6jn1d]

@@TheHistoryUnderground pulled a nice Brook out of pacolet river here in Spartanburg,SC a couple of years ago. Been fishin that spot my entire life(39years) and never caught more than a snack other than that 1 single Brook trout. Would absolutely love to fish a nice, fairly untouched spot and get just a few so I could feed the rest of the family(lol).

[@brettgayer8170]

You have a great show…I’m hooked! Keep appealing and never give up. I learn from you and the guy from the Gettysburg museum every day!

[@juliehawkins3907]

I caught my arm many times in the washer wringer!

[@connie5474]

Hello History Traveler .....You have dreamy eyes!!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

I think that you might need glasses but thanks anyway 😅

[@robertgrim1761]

Sweet 😊

[@dianawingate8887]

That "tent house" is what we had to camp in at Girl Scout camp.....just with bunk beds & sleeping bags. My father actually lived in one as a young child. His father worked in the Humble Oil Fields so they traveled. He told us stories about how they collapsed it down onto a trailer.

[@ja37d-34]

Wow, that looks cozy. Nice-looking forest and the Colorado "river". Wow.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

The Colorado River was the coolest part of that little excursion for me. Nature is pretty amazing.

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Beautiful places. But, those cabins with no indoor toilets would be really tough on 21st century Americans, lol.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Tom Caldwell - Ha! Yeah, I think that a lot would struggle.

[@nmelkhunter1]

As the saying goes, that would be a first world problem...

[@vanessatlmt]

There was a chamber pot in the corner. 🙃

[@corbinbacon9043]

You probably thought of this already but a dead cat would help that audio glitch you had at the intro.

[@nmelkhunter1]

That is awesome country! All I could think when you left the door open on the ice house was, close the door the meat will go bad. Sorry, I’m like a kid sometimes...Also, why does the US flag in the video only have 48 stars?

[@ronalddcobbley8666]

I live about 40 miles away it's in the State I live in

[@LADYMONA]

What do they use to seall tha gap on the wall?

[@jamesyoung7798]

My brother, my offer still stands to buy you a new ball cap with the military veteran of your choice. Jim USAF

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

James Young 😅

[@aslooijer]

Free land for anybody except the American natives? Where they also living there? Great place.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Yes. We're a great country with a very complicated past.

[@aslooijer]

@@TheHistoryUnderground do you have more movies about the american natves? I think thats very interesting. Maybe die the future. Like your channel very much. Keep em coming.

[@dentoncrimescene]

I can't think of a single country that hasn't got a complicated past mate.
