[@robertboles4664]

Matt. Whatever they pay you is not enough. Your sir are a national treasure.

[@Shawnroberts1980]

Matt is a gift to history. Love this guy.

[@brentonclark6247]

Matt I love your lectures, they are just the right blend of historical fact, personal anecdotes, wit, Dad jokes and fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants story telling. Greetings from New Zealand.

[@bullhead900]

Thank you Matt, well done!

[@mattpiepenburg8769]

Thanks Matt- you are gift to history and its need to be honored- and learned from.

[@thomasdailey9280]

"And they been known to pick a song or two . Yes , they do !". Another great presentation ! Keep up the great work sir !

[@cyndiebill6631]

Glad to have Matt back. He’s the only one I listen to because he makes learning about the Civil War fun and interesting.👍😁

[@sbishop6450]

Glad they managed to sorted out the sound and vision. Really enjoyed this! Matt does a good presentation and in his unique way keeps your attention to the end.

[@jacobmasters438]

Definitely glad for the audio/visual fixes as well. I have been watching these videos for 3 years and finally some consistency. Lol

[@chriskortan1530]

An excellent lecture as usual by Matt.

[@thevoid7414]

Awesome, a lecture from Mr Atkinson, what a treat on this cold Sunday afternoon 👍 it warms the cockles 😜

[@joslynscott466]

Thank you Matt. I learned a lot. I appreciate that you mentioned my home county, Morgan, in southeastern Ohio. Many Columbus citizens wanted the old prison to be turned into a museum, but it was in horrible condition. Instead, it made way for the hockey arena where the Blue Jackets play. And by the way, 99.9 percent of Columbusites were against that name. In case you didn't see my live chat. I believe the French you showed means "Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet." I took French in high school. Thanks for a good show. I guess you do listen to your voice mail messages.

[@jacobmasters438]

"Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet." That's a fantastic line for sure.

[@joslynscott466]

Yes it is. That P word is not fun. Reminds me of "soon". Soon can be 20 years!

[@fenreer01]

99.9% of the people of Columbus only agree that they want to embezzle the rest of the state's tax dollars. The name wasn't the problem. A professional hockey team in Columbus was the problem. And to this day, only wealthy suburbanites watch their games.

[@jacobmasters438]

It never ceases to amaze me the determination individuals display when they attempt a "prison break." Hand digging through six inches of concrete and six layers of brick is incredible. To not be seen by their captors is downright unbelievable.

Thanks Matt for the lecture. Living near the Salineville and West Point area of Ohio, I have always had an interest in John Hunt Morgan. It was great to learn more about who he was.

[@phillipbowman2400]

My 6X great-grandfather was Joel Buffington, who once owned Buffington Island and for whom it is named. Also, there is a wonderful trail that follows Morgan's raid across southern Ohio, with the highlight being the Buffington Island battlefield site.

[@peterclague3539]

Great History from across the pond 👏🇮🇲

[@jimgrove3853]

My 5x great grandfather served in the 78th PA. His name was also John Morgan. I imagined it tickled the General to no end he was still confounding a Yankee all these years later while I researched my Grandfather!

[@TomSmith-vv8xg]

Great program,Matt makes everything so interesting

[@glenndenton1540]

I enjoy your lectures Matt. I had a text conversation with you once about my Grandmothers remembrances of her cousin the erasable old cout, Jubal A Early. I especially loved the way you said rarroad. I was brought up on that word! Thanks for that memory and for your expert speech!

[@julienlahiere6530]

Well done. Would love your presentation on Joseph Wheeler.

[@tt5435]

As ever Matt great lecture

[@davidwilhelm3431]

Keep up the strong work, Matt.

[@victorianidetch]

Nicely done!

[@scottcaldwell7480]

The town is pronounced Core-ah-done. It was the capital city of Indiana from 1816 to 1825 when the capital was moved to Indianapolis.

Morgan's Statue is at the Lexington,Kentucky Cemetery

La patience est amere, mais son fruit est doux = Patience is bitter , but its fruit is sweet.

[@cmphighpower]

Matt is awesome I would love to have a battle tour with him

[@poodleguiderpeyes7388]

Sounds like he should not be glorified.

[@mikedesil23]

He certainly should not be forgotten.

[@rweezy6246]

You are on a civil war lecture sir. Take that nonsense elsewhere.
