You need a drone for finding places like this that are hidden.

[@johnblack7696]

I never heard of Fort Perry, of course being from Ohio who would. It definitely is a wonderful piece of history that needs to be explored and documented so thank you. And thank you for another awesome adventure. I would definitely like to learn more about it.

A friend of mine passed away. When I saw her stone, I was surprised to see she was a “Daughter of the American Revolution”. She never ever mentioned it. I was truly touched by it.

In 1814 my Great Great Grandfather was part of the Cherokees that fought in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama. He was one of the three Cherokees who swam the river to capture canoes from the Creek Indians. At that Battle was Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, I think Daviy Crockett, 2000 Federal Troops and 500 Cherokees Indians. The is National Park dedicated to the Battle. My great great grandfather was Charles Reese a Cherokee Indians who lived in North Georgia.

[@ROSIEH007]

Hey Robert, do you have any native blood in you?

[@haroldbonner5909]

Davey Crockett was not at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, shortly before the Battle he had a falling out with Jackson about Jackson's treatment of the Indian women and children and returned home. My father and grandfather farmed the Battle fields at Horseshoe Bend back in the twenty's. My granddad told us when he was a boy you could still recognize the breastworks.

I was reading up on the Creek Wars and the Red Sticks, when I saw this video 👍You have a fascinating history and it's always fun to watch this stuff, from here in England. On a different topic, Americans used to come over to Plymouth (Devon) to commemorate the War of 1812. In those days we were also battling Napoleon in Europe. Thank you for your video.

I for one would like to see some more of the old Fort Perry area. Thanks for showing us around, Robert.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

The older I get I realize that 100 years ago really wasn't that long. My dad was born the same year as the cross monument in 1922 and he just passed away a few years ago! My uncle was born in 1919 and the man is still alive!

[@jillgebauer1292]

Exactly. A bit depressing tho

[@rebekahbrenner]

I really appreciate that you honor the Creek Indians by name. I have no American Indian in me (83% German!) But my step dad's family is Cherokee. I would love to have seen inside that first home too. My daughter said "there's no way Betsy (my car) would've made it down those gravel roads!" 😄

I absolutely love our history.I live in Oklahoma,and my sister owns land that has ruins of the Butterfield stage lines .It was made of rock and pretty good size for a way station.,also not far from Old Rock jail where prisoners were held until taken to Ft.Smith Arkansas to Hanging Judge Parker court.we have a great deal of history here and a lot of our counties and towns have Indian names.I enjoy your history from there as well Thank you👍❤️

[@jefflawrentz1624]

This was very interesting. I should think your state historic preservation office would have some records of the forts exact coordinates on a map of today. Would be interesting to know if they’ve every had archaeologists investigate the site.

[@marypettitt9150]

Just a guess - I think the 1922 marker was placed where some DAR member's veteran great-grandfather said the fort was. Finding some kind of proof after all these years would be a challenge, but Robert, you are known for conquering challenges. Once the grasses die and the snakes hibernate, I'm guessing you'll be out here again. Good luck!

[@donnaoglesby1278]

in my younger days while I was still married to my second husband, we lived in Erie Pennsylvania, Erie County, and there was a lot of history on the Gen. Perry, that you chat about on this video. I never went too far with the history of him, cause he did not interest me back then, I was more involved in my genealogy at the time, and didn't think, back then, that it was important, but with Genealogy all history is important, cause it effects everyone, weather they were involved in the wars or not, things still effected their lives, so know that he was down in Georgia as well, is interesting, and I thank you for this video and for your knowledge of this piece of history. It brings together with what little I remember from Erie Pa. Thank you for taking us all along with the drive though this place as well, beautiful. Appreciated the video. Thank you Robert. I personally would love for you to come back here at some point. P.S have you ever been to the The Old City Cemetery in Sandersville, Georgia?? From what I have gathered, it was from the 1800?? Would be nice if you and Mr. Dan, and Even Scott would go there, and check out some of the headstones there..

I read many comments n many viewers have this history in their family. I think that’s awesome. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🐶

[@adamkimberling6609]

Even though a star fort is unusual but it made it easier to defend and harder for enemy armies to attack because they can't attack one side without getting exposed to the other side with musket and cannon fire.

[@STho205]

Fort Jackson built in this same era and region was a proper earthen star fort. The forts defending Mobile and the Georgia coast were also. Stockade and blockhouse only forts were to defend against light infantry without artillery...such as the Creek faction known as RedSticks. Fort Jackson was built after Horseshoe Bend expecting an eminent naval or overland invasion of the British from Pensacola or if they took Mobile Bay and Mobile...which they tried to do twice in the War....once from a covert base in Pensacola.

Absolutely go back this winter!!

[@michaelhyman3035]

Robert if you can figure out who had the hunting operation there before it became a WMA, I'm sure one of the guides or owners or their surviving family members may know more about the fort, never underestimate the knowledge a guide has in regards to history.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Good idea

[@leighannivey6690]

The owners was Whitetail magazine and they went bankrupt. The deer there were brought in from Wisconsin so now we have that gene in our local whitetail.

[@leighannivey6690]

It was called Ft. Perry plantation when it was the hunting lodge.

[@geraldpierini9010]

My Great Grandmother Juan Thompson nee Roberts, born 1850 and died 1933 was suppose to be half Cherokee. However, never have been able to "officially" prove that. To my understanding some who were suppose to be Cherokee could have been Creek or some other tribe. If she was, her grand parents could have been around there somewhere. Do follow up on Fort Perry.

[@brandonr.klrcrazy]

Really got my curiosity up about Ft Perry.....great vid buddy!

Apparently it’s location is shown on an 1834 map of Marion County. Great t-shirt btw. I totally agree with that statement.

I travel down the Kings Road from Savannah through Richmond Hill to Eulonia to Darien on to Jekyll Island. Along that road (HWY 17S is a Bartram Trail marker outside of Eulonia next to a small cemetery. I grew up in Mobile Alabama and am familiar with the Federal Road, where it went through Spanish Fort.

[@ElainesCountryHome]

This was so interesting! My husband and I love to explore historic sites, but we're not really able to do much of it anymore. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lynncanada1915]

Deed research in county deeds/records? Sometimes deeds have location descriptions that might still make sense to you knowing area? Find the info used to place the 100 year old marker? Look at area topographic map, Google Earth? Federal road research. This kind of research is deliciously addictive. 😁👍 Thanks for this, all your videos. 👍👍

[@murphystark91211]

They're called "starforts" Some even predate native settlements. Of course this is omitted from any history that we're expressly taught. It goes against the narrative. Fort morgan in gulf shores is also a star fort. There's one on dauphin Island. There's one in Florida. One of the BIG ones. In fact, almost every state has one or the remnants of one. Funny thing is like several years ago they made part of Fort morgan a wildlife refuge also. But it's federally protected so it's inaccessible to the public now. As are many of the lands these things sit on. 🤓 just thought I'd share.

[@jacquelinecassidy8682]

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m not always a fan of “historic” markers. It’s all fascinating. So much to know. Thanks for taking us on these adventures.

[@LitlPoot]

William Bartram - a very well-known (among horticulturist/gardeners) plant explorer - take notice of his discovery and propagation of the Ben Franklin tree ( Franklinia alatamaha ) found only along a certain part of the Altamaha river. The story of the Franklin tree is fascinating for it no longer exists in the wild and all living trees are descended from seeds collected by William Bartram. Another part of Georgia's great history !!!

[@LitlPoot]

and yes, please go back in colder weather and explore !! I so worry about the snakes in that grass ...

[@munson221]

I live on ft perry rd approx 3 miles from marker and have been told by many old timers that yes indeed it was the place for the main fort. It has many outposts across the area but that was the main post. Wait until after burn season and you can walk through it better and see a lot more. There are big rock formations and such that didnt get there by themselves.

[@susanbellefeuille]

So very interesting Robert, it would be really great if there were still remnants of the fort itself.

[@christophermccrary8080]

You'd be surprised what you can still see. Maybe not organic material, but the ground will tell the story lots of the time. I know a fort site in middle GA, that has several buildings/sites all around it, but you'd never realize it was where it is, unless you really knew about the subject. We have tons of late 1700-early 1800s, history around this area.

Please do a video exploring the WMA. All you need is a WMA License. It would be bought the same way you get a hunting or fishing license and would be good at any WMA statewide for one year. You can get it at Walmart, Dick's, Academy or online through the Georgia DNR site. The DNR site is how I got mine when I lived in Georgia but if you do it that way you need a printer nearby you can link up to. I don't think I have ever heard of Fort Perry even though I grew up not too terribly far from Marion County. Your Seale, Alabama video is how I first ran across your channel and subscribed.

[@AdamGaboy]

I grew up very close to the other end of Fort Perry Rd and still live in Marion county. What I was always told and found doing research on the history there was the fort was an eight pointed star constructed out of timber and that in old aerial pictures you could barely see the ruins of it behind Bud Tyler's house in a field. There was also another stone marker i remember walking just into the woods across the road from the marker you were at just off hwy 41. It was about 30 inches wide and maybe 50 inches tall and had more about the William Bartam trail. I have thought about trying to find it every time I ride by there but haven't yet. My guess is that it is laying down where it was standing and possibly knocked over when some of the trees there were cut years ago. I know the general area it was standing for as long as I remember until I noticed it wasn't. The Wildlife management area was the Fort Perry plantation and the fence was put up around all that land about the time I started highschool. The owner had food plots and everything you could imagine to make sure the deer in there grew the most massive antlers and were a sight to see when you saw them. I remember one we would see just about every morning on the bus to school that we named Samson. On the dirt road where you started the video behind the fenced area i had one cross in front of me and clear the top of the fence that was huge. As i realized what I had just seen two more were in the grill of my truck, a ten pointer and another buck bigger than it that had just shed it's horns. Enjoy your videos and just seen this one. My mom was raised on Juniper Lake and school in Talbot county. Some i have shown her she knows exactly where y'all are on your adventures. Merry Christmas from my family to yours 2023.

[@sharonfoster4310]

It looked to me like a ranch type gate blocking off the road. Robert said that's where e would turn around. I saw a long green mound across the field towards the end of the video. Wonder what that might be? I would guess the ground was cleared around the fort.

[@angelaunderwoodyoung3898]

Years ago in Mableton, Cobb county Georgia, there was a earthen fort along Veterans Memorial Drive where Oakdale Road deads into it. It was almost to Fulton County. In that area and in Smyrna, there are, or were, numerous dedication plaques. The big lot across the street had a large two story house, tongue and groove walls. It was tongue and groove like the house I rented on the hill. The last house on Oakdale Road at the time. People used to four wheel on that property. That is where the round earthen fort was, somewhere in the middle of that property. There was also supposed to be a few trenches as well. Someone had bought the property an torn down the old house. They were supposed to locate and mark the family and the slave cemeteries. Some advocate preservation groups were trying to save it all. That was at least thirty years ago or so. Then we moved away from there and I don't know what happened after then. I think our house had originally just had four rooms and the best drawing fireplace I have ever used. A kitchen I assumed that was possibly added later on ? There was a small two story barn in the back. I have seen several of the forts, cemeteries, trenches, old wells, old houses and barns and such when growing up. My father used to rent property and run hunting clubs. We, even as little children, would walk and post the property with him. Sadly that is no more. I am sixty now and daddy passed at age fifty four. His clubs died with him. We were drug all over creation but, I could not say where. I didn't stock that information in my head like the guys you have on your videos do, lol.

great video, as usual. you can always tell when you're on the fall line. it goes from clay to sand. the sandy part goes all the way across the state and millions of years ago it was all under water.

[@rt3box6tx74]

Interesting that areas where soil goes abruptly from clay to sand were once underwater or shores. That prospect had never occurred to me. There's a strip of sand dunes across the NW TX prairie running east/west for well over a hundred miles. Now I have to research where, or if it ends in NM. I've always thought the east boundary was where the Caprock Escarpment meets the Llano Estacado. The dunes closest to me are only about 5 miles across where the rich dark clay loam emerges at the other side.

Oh, an idea if returning to Ft Perry...do the driving tour of Gen Floyd's 1813 campaign from Fort Hawkins and the blockhouse forts his men built all the way to Ft Mitchell which has been reconstructed. That may give your viewers a climax sight toward the end of the tour.

[@curtisyeomans1333]

I The actual physical location of the Fort Hawkins site is of supreme importance. When the Muscogee Creek Nation ceded their land by treaty in 1805 from the Oconee to Ocmulgee River, a sacred 5-mile by 3-mile swath along the river, known as the “Old Fields”, was maintained by the Creeks on the eastern side of the Ocmulgee. Fort Hawkins was allowed to be constructed on the highest hill of these sacred “Old Fields” no doubt due to Benjamin Hawkins’ “beloved” nature. This is also provided a very strategic fort vantage point overlooking the Lower Creek Trading Path into the Muscogee Creek Nation westward, which became the first Federal Road in America in 1806 (Appendix I). Although the Creeks gave up their “right” to the Old Fields in the Treaty of 1821, they still maintain that this is where their ancestors “first sat down” and today part of the Old Fields is preserved at the Ocmulgee National Monument, which is just across the street from the fort. very curious about the name of Fort Hawkins, while watching this vlog, as I have family with that surname from Georgia. I came across this passage. {listed above}. . Thank You for doing this, and all you do, Robert. Love your vlogs, and appreciate the efforts! Have a Great day!

[@SondraD7676]

Interesting!! It would be awesome to find some evidence of Fort Perry. Can you explain futher the markers in regard to the Creek Nation? Unless I am mistaken, one marker says the friendly Creek Nation, then the other sign says, The Creek War. Is the latter in reference to the waring tribe in Alabama against the Creek? Alliances changed quickly on the frontier, broken treaties and pushing the nations off land. Maybe that is a factor? If you know, can you share? Yes, a return trip in winter maybe? More exploration would be fun.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

There were the Upper Creek and Lower Creek. The war of 1813 was between the US and two Creek factions. It has also been called the Creek Civil War. The Creek War of 1836 was involving the Creek Nation as more of a whole.

[@haroldcampbell3337]

The Lower Creeks were generally more "friendly" to the US and largely assimilated with the white culture, while the Upper Creeks sought to maintain traditional Creek culture and resisted US expansion.

[@robertbates6057]

@@haroldcampbell3337 Yes, after the US and Ga gave most of N GA to the Cherokee. The Creek Confederacy in 1813 were surviving remnants of many aligned cultures of the SE. Apalache, Cusa, Chickasaw and other peoples that had ranged far and wide from Peru, central America, the Caribbean, up the Mississippi ... They were the Mississippian and Swift culture. Some historians now place Sami and other Europeans here long before Columbus arrived in the Western Hemisphere. DNA, language analysis, accounts from the earliest French and Spanish explorers, carvings, statues, rock structures, symbols are proving some of that . The REAL history of the SE indigenous peoples is really just now being revealed. Amazing cultures that European disease virtually wiped out. Far more advanced in 1600 than Academia gives credit. By painting them as uncivilized, it made it easier to justify abusing them.
