The Sultana is the worst maritime disaster in US History. Its boilers blew up and the ship took on water and sunk. The disaster was overshadowed by the press because Lincoln assassination happened the day before. The meeting of two rivers is called a confluence:). Being a retired history teacher,the places your going are teaching me new things. Thanks!

[@ZachTheRipperTV]

I'm a big history buff, and I love to learn about small town history. like the bell witch, I had heard of it but had no idea what had happened but YOU taught us. in my personal opinion you are the second best unconventional history teacher. thank you. (iron maiden is #1)

[@TheDailyWoo]

thank you . I really appreciate that

[@ZacharyRiggs619]

I love when you get local guides! Great video :)

[@nickw8382]

Thanks for all the hard work you put in every day to bring us these videos adam. You inspire alot of people including me. Have a great day good sir

[@west18181]

Great vlog! You are wonderful by yourself but the two gentlemen with you added some great history tidbits too. Keep up the great work, Adam!

[@anadrecneps6579]

I love when you do these types of videos. All the history! What a beautiful and eerie place!

[@moonshepherdess]

Greetings from a snowed-in truckstop in New York! I'm about done with this winter weather and seeing vlogs about the Southland is helping to keep my spirits up. Thanks, Adam. Safe travels, hun. 😊

[@PrairieDodgers]

Hope you are enjoying your explores this week, as much as I have been enjoying your explores this week!

[@bige.3474]

That guy does a really good owl. I have one living in my woods, and he fooled me. The other thought that I had was that a metal detecting club needs to search that area, and put the artifacts in that museum. This was an exceptional vlog for the day. Good. job.

[@candysantillo3325]

Big E. I thought the same thing

[@Bob3519]

Beautiful area. I can see why they built a town there. Adam, thanks for sharing this.

[@johnmoore2275]

I enjoy your visits with the wide world. you impart little facts history forgot.

[@TheDailyWoo]

[@disneygirlatheart]

Fascinating, I love learning something new everyday, especially from a wonderful teacher. A big thanks to your tour guides as well. Safe Travels!

[@josiedaisy]

Glad you are in alabama! As a citizen of Mobile Alabama, it is really an interesting state.

[@allenroach7503]

Thorny bush is a citronella tree/vine. Has oranges that grow on it full of citronella oil. Used as a mosquito repellent.

"if this house isn't haunted it is missing a good opportunity" LOL

[@wakaywa]

You are the best! Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life, and all of the thousands around the world. You are amazing.

[@hilarypeddigree9493]

It pleases me that there are so many people willing to show you around!

[@SueGirling68]

Now that has to be one of your best ever video's and I have seen pretty much most of them from both channels lol. Well done, great vlog, thank you Adam xx

[@deniset2115]

What is that beautiful flower on your thumbnail?

[@SueGirling68]

On mine ???, it's a Japanese Sakura flower. Better known as Japanese cherry blossom xx

[@paulallan1000]

Another great vlog,about time you were given your own TV show. So many kids would learn so much from you and your travels,,See you tomorrow Adam,,from the UK. =)

[@tylers1428]

I love waking up to these. makes me feel like I am traveling the country for the price of my phone bill.

[@123brovko]

Great tour, great tour guides. Thanks guys.

[@jamesrgullage3631]

Awesome video Adam. Love starting off the day with the Daily Woo.

[@Duf1985]

Man! I LOVED this vlog! Im fascinated by old suthurn history! ENCORE ENCORE! Thanx Woo!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

it was a cool place, lots of history for sure which I love

[@damianharris2167]

6:14 "If this house isn't haunted it's missing a good opportunity." What a great comment!

[@marypozzi4859]

Thank you Adam that church was stunningly beautiful this vlog was great I really loved the whole thingi had read about this place on line and you brought it to life for me

[@edm9760]

That prickly bush is called a tri-faliola and it is in the citrus family..it is the root stock that a lot of citrus fruit varieties are grafted to. There was a citrus tree there at one time and it died back in a freeze and the root stock grew up. probably a satsuma tree.

[@bonniekaye]

Good morning, Adam! I love this video! Great guests there with you! You are in a state that is near to my heart! Thank you for all your hard work, you are appreciated, Friend! Safe travels! :)

[@heatherr2665]

McGuffey Readers started publication in 1836 so that schoolhouse more than likely used them. If & when ya make it up north to Michigan The Henry Ford Museum has the outdoor portion called Greenfield Village. There is a McGuffey Schoolhouse that was built there in 1934 from the log timbers of the old 1700's McGuffey homestead. It is one of three schoolhouses in the village. The other two were the one room schoolhouses that Mr Ford attended as a child. His family farm straddled two different districts. The McGuffey Readers are also sold in the gift shop :)

[@troytalley212]

I spent a few days there as a boy about 50 years ago. its changed some. My Dad was a commercial fisherman and there was a camp near the river where we sleep in the back of the truck. I don;t think he had much luck at fishing there. We did kill a lot of mosquitoes tho. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks

[@sewashburn0529]

That town reminded me of the town of Spectre from "Big Fish", located on Jackson Lake Island near Millbrook, Alabama.

[@allenroach7503]

Thought the same.

[@TampaJay]

Great movie

[@bigneasy2106]

He's been there if you use your Columbo like research skills

[@hawkhandandtealady6710]

loving your work

[@DavidGlenCruzTV]

as always excellent vlog adam Looking forward to tomorrows Safe travels !

[@tonyalawley1477]

I watch your videos every day and was EXTREMELY SURPRISED to see my UNCLE CURT with you on your tour of OLD CAHABA. He was one of your "tour guides" I heard ya'll also ate some good food. :) It's nice to see you touring a place where I have been several times as a kid.

[@TheDailyWoo]

it was a lot of fun !

[@Hollyweeds]

Those cemeteries were amazing thanks for sharing!

[@cindygaray127]

I found this fascinating. Thanks for the tour.

[@AH-ew6ei]

Postcards come to life, True Americana History. The scenery around you Adam the Woo is always amazing.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

Its a shame a that old town is gone.

[@bobthomas8175]

At about 7:45 those box-like monuments are typically called chest tombs and wouldn't have held a casket. They were only markers built over a traditional underground burial (but try to tell that to the vandals).

[@robstudabaker784]

Adam, this was a great Vlog. Love the history that you share.

[@cindydthefamtenn5630]

WOW! I really wish you would do more urben like this. Love it. Love it. You did such a great job Adam. Thank you. Looking forward as always to more from you. God Bless! Stay safe.

[@jessicaelliott688]

Thank you for this one Adam! My ancestor Captain James Walter Elliot(a unionist)survived Andersonville Prison camp, Cahaba Prison camp, then went on to survive the explosion of the Sultana.

[@deeplivin]

Thanks Adam.

[@SearTrip]

Not likely to have been caskets is those broken vaults. False tombs were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. What looked like a sarcophagus above ground was simply an elaborate cover for a burial below ground.

[@GagReflexSwagReflex]

This is like an episode of American Pickers hahaha

[@cwhamm59]

Had a lot of fun hanging with you and Joey! Thanks for the invite!😀

[@brockfordleeperson]

our dog is freaking out every time your buddy does that howl. haha!

[@wardeagle4679]

Excellent video of Old Cahaba (Dallas County, AL) which is often forgotten about in Alabama history due to it's very rural location and almost nothing left of what was once a very wealthy and thriving area. I was born in raised in southeastern Dallas County, AL. Safe Travels!

[@petesenrab5691]

Was great seeing that d town, thanks Adam

[@59hunt]

This one is a keeper Adam!!

[@fortunateadventures3664]

So beautiful there,loved that church in the beginning of the video.🚙🐿

[@Ssupermom12000]

great video. I wish we were as warm here in Vermont as you are down there, even if all it is there is 60s. We are 14 degrees today.

[@JamesAllmond]

Thanks for this one. An ancestor of mine was one of the 1st governors of Alabama in that town!

[@paulridley8265]

Hi Adam, loving your work and enjoy watching your vlogs every day from the U.K. If you ever make to the other side of the pond, make sure you do a meet up!!!

[@portiamatthews9654]

Alabama moved the capital five different times. St. Stephens was the first capital of Alabama, which is just below the Clarke/ Washington county line on 43 South. The other capitals are Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Selma and Montgomery is the capital. Research, research research.

[@mr.swirly1557]

I just got back from a trip south a few weeks ago and it's fun watching you visit many of the places I stopped. Selma was a fantastic stop for someone who loves history. Montgomery was super interesting as well. Thanks for putting these together and I am looking forward to more. Comment over... 😎

[@patigiddens1314]

That was awesome!! I loved the old capital, thanks Adam!!! Got my WOO FIX for the day!!!!! Stay safe my friend!!😀😀

[@JoyBean]

I always like to see you and friends never a dull moment..

[@BreaTheBrat]

That was a great video. Thank your tour guides for us.

[@jodyg3120]

Demopolis, Alabama is a town that has alot of historic places. Enjoy seeing all the cool places you visit.

[@SouthernSummoners]

I can show you the inside of the church,it's unfinished..that's my stomping ground..i live 5 miles from there..it's a pretty amazing place. My son and me left a music box on a grave out there a year or so ago, they were doing a guided tour and out of nowhere the music box, mind you, it was dilapidated and falling apart, started playing.. the words on the music box said, music gives those who can't a voice , or something like that.. the story is on cahaba's Facebook page, I thought it was real neat, thank you for sharing your amazing footage! Just wanted to add, they're rebuilding the state house now, there's actually an iron structure there because the archaeologists found the footprint.. hopefully one day they can have the town rebuilt and standing again..

[@85irocz28]

that was rail road cross ties we use those a bunch here for drive ways and curves

[@brittanigalaxydreamer5043]

another great vlog, have a good day Adam.

[@johnniebgoode]

The metal work on the wrought iron fence is great.

[@PrimephotoStudio]

Great job on daily vlog, as always enjoy it.

[@dunhill1]

Did anyone notice that old rusty can had the "pop top" or pull tab feature? Wow, that can is from 1975 or before and still there. Amazing find. You don't just find pull tab cans lying around the ground these days.

[@jkerouac80]

awesome blog. Great story on it. loved the ghost thing. More blogs like these. overall you got a great blog and I enjoy coming home to watch them

[@Jessicanyc]

Today is the 40th Anniversary of the first Threes Company show !

[@222NancyG]

Awesome tour today!!

[@chattjedi]

I hate seeing old towns that once prospered now gone to history.

[@daysioc]

Awesome video!

[@deniset2115]

It's documented in the Civil War records of my gr gr gr uncle John Shafer that he survived Andersonville Prison and the sinking of The Sultana. Truly his guardian angels were looking out for him : )

[@Kodachrome40]

Another excellent vlog!

[@FullReview]

Yesss that's riiiight my morning is complete

[@ctipping96]

Thank you for sharing Adam.

[@rebeccablakely6659]

wow loved this one Adam. I love using Columbo style research skills to imagine how life once was here. buildings, people, life now all sitting still and quiet....I love finding old railway tracks too! that gravestone too wow 1830...

[@jeffmoore3449]

"Mama" at 2:55 - change audio speed from normal to 0.5 to hear her best. Also "Killing!" at 3:23. Joey shouldn't be disappointed, because I hear "Why are you leaving us?!!" at 6:17. Again I hear the voice much better at the 0.5 audio speed. I also have the volume raised to nearly maximum and I'm using headphones. At 14:43 someone is announcing that "There's someone here!" That was a very interesting "Ghost" Town.

[@sandybaum9345]

another great vlog! the church at the start of the video was so cool looking.

[@mickgatz214]

Awesome video, thanx for sharing it. :)

[@Averyindex0]

I'd like to request more Majestic footage because no matter how much you give, I can always ask for more.

[@TheDailyWoo]

been pretty cold and hard to keep the batteries going but I do need to launch it more once I hot warmer weather

[@BPlus-oz7cm]

TheDailyWoo There's a company that makes sweaters (yes I said sweaters)) for DJI drones.

[@Averyindex0]

Hahahaha! I Googled and found this: https : // www.dronesweaters.com/

[@vickyabramowitz4919]

+B. Plus. That's so precious! Well, it's obvious that drones get cold, too, during the winter. If their masters need them to perform in cold weather, then the least that they can do is provide them with a sweater. A warm drone is a happy drone.

[@BPlus-oz7cm]

Avery Index That's it! Thanks for posting the link. The majestic would look so handsome with a little sweater in.

[@doonsbury9656]

Another good one Adam, but when you took that selfie with the 'Face Well" Oh mate, you should have put your sunnies on the well face. 'Adam the Well"! lol "Fool me once....shame on you" "Fool me twice...shame on me"

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

good morning Adam!! have a wonderful day!!!! another great vlog!!!

[@RhettyforHistory]

very fascinating history! I never knew about any of it.

[@GregsVlog]

Dang it, doesn't look like there was any way to start that well! (No handle or anything.) I bet it looks cool with water pouring out of it's "mouth!"

[@SissyGamerzandPlay22]

i can imagine what these places were like in the beginning. the churches, the homes, the people. it's kinda sad to see the gravesites deteriorated. "all that is bright must fade."

[@trevorlyle6381]

thanks adam and friends....

[@TinaSashWalker]

This is on my list to visit. Seriously, I love the history of this place.

[@peruprofundodance]

This... was a FUN ONE! FUNYUM!

[@Katea9tails]

I have discovered a web page that if you haven't seen before might help you - it is called "Only In My State" once you get to the home page you can pick out whatever state you plan to visit and there are lots of topics -now mostly they are the same titles in each state - but different locations of course - hidden gems, amazing places to eat, creepy, amazing, unique places to sleep, eat, or visit. You might find some good locations to discover

[@mikedsjr]

Thanks Adam. Amazing places.

[@EllicottCity1]

Great vlog Adam!

[@ryanenquist1233]

Love tdw!! It's become a part of my daily routine

[@DCJNewsMedia]

[@alisondawson3421]

"I didn't bring my trunks" ~~ You can't say that anymore Adam, after all, your trunks are always with you ~~ safely packed away in Large Marge !❤️

[@DCJNewsMedia]

come on down to Opp or Andalusia Alabama. Hank Williams old stomping grounds. He was born in Georgeanna, and married in Andalusia Alabama.... plus we got some old buildings grave yards etc Chief Jones

[@zonadaniell7159]

Hey..I went to church camp at Blue Lake, which was near Andalusia. Big lake with a cross on opposite side of camp..It was illuminated at night and was beautiful. Those were some wonderful summer trips in my teen years...

[@zonadaniell7159]

FYI..I am originally from Dothan, Al...great place to grow up..

[@garyharvell4321]

Stationed at Craig AFB just out of Selma. Been to Old Cahaba many times...back in the early 70's

[@angelblue7779]

Okay! Officially one of my favorites!!!! I may have to check out Alabama!
