I was just at Lamberts. If you leave there hungry it’s your own fault.

When he mentioned that rolls get thrown at you I immediately thought just wait till somebody gets offended only because it's the world we live in today. Sad but true.

[@gideoncampbell8335]

@@Mr.Inman14 it’s already happened. Someone said the roll was too hot and tried to get a free pay day.

What a mornin', loud trucks and having your food thrown at you and 3 locations closed because of Covid. You made it work against the odds, enjoyed. You be safe and take care.

Covid, what a joke. Watch the statistical analysis by John E. Hoover on KZbin know as John Cullen.

[@Cubsnsteelers]

Right across the river in Murphysboro, IL is the home of General John A. Logan. Was one of the leaders under Ulysses S. Grant and was the brainchild of Memorial Day in America. Many statues and school buildings are named after Logan, including local Community College in Carterville, IL.

[@billn8304]

We have one in Foley, Al. I’ve seen “thrown rolls” smack many unsuspecting victims and it’s funny as Hell! Were the other Forts A, B, and C?

[@michaelryall5752]

They were called Forts A, B, and C. Fort A guarded the Mississippi river to the North while B and C guarded the town from land raids to the west of Cape Girardeau, with a barricade between those two forts. Fun fact, the University Hall building of Southeast Missouri State University is built where Fort B existed.

[@carleegarner1770]

When I was younger I went to Lambert's and was trying to catch a roll and got hit in the head and fell backward lol I'm only 18 but I was like 3 or 4 then I still live about 30 minutes from there my family and I eat there often

[@michaelevans205]

Fascinating and a good illustration of how history is all around us without necessarily being obvious. Here in the UK, near my home, is a structure called 'The Queen's Sconce.' You can drive past it without knowing it's there. It's a civil war fort overlooking a strategically important river which helped defend the Royalist stronghold of Newark upon Trent. It's the only survivor of several such forts which were scattered about the area and, although I'll grant you the Mississippi is a tad larger than the Trent, the Sconce is impressive even today some 350plus years after the war for which it was constructed. If you havea moment, Google it and see the perfectly preserved star shape of this monument. As always, love your work, your presentation and your content. Gosh, I could do with a throwed roll!

[@gideoncampbell8335]

Missouri was third for the number of battles fought within its borders and the first major land battle of the civil war was also fought here.

[@frenchfan3368]

Yes, indeed. People rarely talk about the Battle of Carthage, Missouri on July 5, 1861. Even Wikipedia acknowledged its significance and importance.

[@MiJacFan1]

Where I live in Texas County, I have heard that the Union Army had their headquarters along Brushy Creek. They also burned 2 of the court houses here as well.

[@jimreilly917]

And if not for Nathaniel Lyons the Union Arsenal at St. Louis may well have been seized or destroyed by the CSA. THAT would have changed the course and possibly outcome of the war.

[@frenchfan3368]

@@jimreilly917 If Confederate forces would have seized the Union Arsenal at Saint Louis, yes, it may have prolonged the war, but I highly doubt that it would have changed the fact the Union would win the war. Civil War historian and writer Shelby Foote jr. noted for his works on the Civil War himself once said that the Confederacy was doomed from the start. Maybe foreign intervention from the British and/or French would have helped secure a Confederate victory, but they did not win indeed fortunately.

[@jimreilly917]

@@frenchfan3368 yup..history what is are fascinating. I'm not proud of it but STL was very pro southern during the war. If the Rebs had seized the Arsenal it would have also given them firm control of the Mississippi from STL Zto LA. Interesting to speculate but what is, is.

Best rolls along with the best food! A great Missouri restaurant! If you were close to Mississippi river then you were in Sikeston's Lamberts!

[@darrellborland119]

Very nice, and quite a bit of historical information in a short period of time. As rail fans of the building of the first Transcontinental RR, wife and I go to sites similar to this. Artifacts are in little-traveled areas of WY, UT, NV, etc., and beg to be explored, and detailed through prior historical research. The ghosts of Grenville Dodge, Thomas Durant, and all the men who build the original RR from 1863-1869, are present...all we have to do is look, listen, and ponder their achievements, back in that era. Thank you!.

I am continuously amazed at the quality of video you put out even in these circumstances. Interesting that you bring up the caves... was just talking with a friend of mine the other day, he has a copy of Hiram Thornton’s diary from his time at Andersonville prison. He noted in there that the prisoners also dug what we now call foxholes to create a bit of shade in the summer and they would huddle 2-3 men in them during the winter to stay warm. When Hiram got home from prison he was a staggering 90 pounds and it took his wife over 7 months to nurse him back to health.... it is quite a story

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Wow!

Only in America never seen rolls thrown at your face before however the food looked great. Sorry Covid had slightly spoiled your day.
