Searching for Lost or Abandoned Civil War Grave - Their Stories Revealed on Hidden History

While working with the State Archaeologist to properly record lost or abandoned graves in the area, I received the coordinates to a couple of lost or abandoned graves deep in the woods near Bryceland, in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. I had no idea this search would lead me to Vicksburg, Mississippi investigating a part of the Civil War. Who did these graves belong to? What was their connection to the Civil War? My search led to the Vicksburg National Military Park. Find out in this episode of Hidden History.

The same for me. I was just strolling through youtube and this caught my eye. I appreciate your quest to preserve history. Please keep it going.

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. We have a responsibility to preserve history or lose it forever. :)

I found this presentation extremely interesting, Brad. It actually postponed my dinner. I hope you keep on doing this type of investigative journalism. We cannot afford to ignore our history, whether we agree with the "whys and hows" or not. Thanks, Brad. :))

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much, Bite Me. I'm glad you enjoyed. Sorry about the postponed dinner. :)

[@StaceySnoopyConly]

Another great one! I shared this with a couple of SCV friends. Thank you, Brad!

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much, Snoopy. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@ronniewatkins]

I'm surprised the local SCV Camp hasn't done this yet. We do it in our Camps here in Georgia

[@stevenf1953]

I love Civil War stories. I hope you will tell a few more.

[@BradDison]

I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I never know where these will lead but surely there are more out there that have a Civil War connection. :)

Brad, if I remember correctly, you went to school with a couple girls whose last name was Tilley. Mary Ann was the older of the two but I can't recall the younger ones name. She was around your age.

[@BradDison]

I don't recall them at the moment. I'll have to check the yearbooks and see if I can find them. :)

I enjoyed your video. My grandmother was a McCoy from Bienville parish. She lived in Ringgold

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much. Surely they were related. :)

[@reprahsac]

Love the videos! I share them with my boys so they can learn more about the area Thomas’s family came from.

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much. I went to church at Carolina Baptist Church with many members of the Thomas family. They're all good people. :)

[@barbaralanier3720]

Love your vids, Brad! NOTE: I seem to see what appears to be a gravestone in the middle of screen at minute marker, 5:30. Can't wait for your next vids.

[@BradDison]

I believe that's a tree stump with another tree growing out of it. I don't remember this specifically but I need to take another look in person. :)

[@maureen8745]

Thank you as I share the same gratitude for those who've faught & fight for the pursuit of life liberty and the pursuit of happines regardless of any bias and the glory of the red white and blue. Amen

Thanks Brad for all you do to enlighten and preserve history. Much appreciated my friend. Need more honest folks out there like you without any political axe to grind. Love your videos! Just had a surgery so this post is perfect and much needed! As always God bless you and yours. Thanks again for everything you do!

[@BradDison]

I hope the surgery went well and hope you have a speedy recovery. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. God bless you too, my friend. :)

Dude! I just saw where Shreveport la got hit with 80 mile an hour winds. I am thinking thats sort of close to you. I hope you and your whole family are ok. You and your family are in my prayers.

[@BradDison]

We're still getting some strong winds but we have had no damage that I know of. Thank you for thinking of me and my family. That means a lot to me. :)

Oh yeah. I didn't want to get a sunburn on my bald head. hahaha. :)

Did I see the remains of an old arch bridge?

[@BradDison]

Arch bridge? Did you see something I didn't? Can you let me know where in the video you saw that? :)
