  2. You're telling me salisbury steak was invented to treat sick civil war soldiers and I somehow lived my whole life without knowing?!? This is exactly what this channel is for

  3. I had a repair business called “The Sewing Machine Man” and my slogan was: “$25 Reward For Any Sewing Machine I Cannot Repair.” I repaired thousands of machines in the Northern California area and never had to pay the reward. Most of the machines were 30 years or older and I really liked those the most but I repaired any kind of machine that was ever made ‘till I closed the business. I did free house calls so most of my repairs were for older machines owned by seniors. Now I’m a senior and I never learned to sew😊

  7. My grandfather loaned the two guys who started Peter Paul candy company when the bank would not loan them the money because the bank thought a candy company was a bad risk. Shows you how shortsighted bank loan officers can be. We the family got free boxes of candy every Christmas for years after as gratitude for my grandfather's belief in someone's dream.

  8. Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy, linen land Now, I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will ~"Vincent", Don McLean 1971

  9. This is LeAnn Thieman. I'm honored to have been quoted on this posting, and mostly honored to have been a part of this unprecedented historic rescue mission, which it was indeed. It's important to know that most of the children we brought out were Amerasian, half caucasian and half Vietnamese; their fate was doomed in Vietnam at the time. Some of the children we rescued told us horrific stories of what was happening to little orphans there...too horrific to share here. As we were assembling paperwork and babies, bombs were dropping outside the city limits...the fear and desperation unimaginable to those who did not live it. Another of my quotes is, "Operation Babbylift was one of the good things that came from the Vietnam tragedy." God bless America for this daring humanitarian effort.

  10. Is it weird that I would rather watch a short documentary about onion futures trading than nearly any network produced TV show?

  12. I had the distinct honor of knowing Ruth Heckinger, born in Queens, NY on June 19th, 1923, who was an Army Flight Nurse, flying on the China-Burma-India (CBI) route. Flying over the Himilayas was terrifying, as they had to fly low to keep the whole blood they were carrying to keep it from boiling due to the low air pressure at altitude. One time they were landing on an island where the men stationed there hadn't seen a woman in 18 months, so her pilot asked her to radio the tower for clearance. It took a few tries to get a shy response from the tower, and during taxiing to the tower they could see men all up and down the hangars trying to get a glance of the woman on the R4D plane! Ruth was a joy, a force of nature, and was always up to party. Ruth passed in her sleep January 25th, 2023 at 99 years of age, in Bradenton, FL. She was a force of nature, and is sorely missed

  13. As a Pediatric Intensive Care Flight Nurse, I loved this story. Thank you for honoring the nurses that came before me.

  14. I was on an Alaska cruise. My wife had signed us up to go panning for gold. I confess that I had the 'another tourist waste of time'. Our tour guide was great. He took us to a river, and showed us how to pan for gold. I give it a try and nothing but an empty pan. Now I know it's a tourist trap. 'Let's try again', he says. He has me pick a random spot in the river, and he puts a shovel-load of sand into my pan. Then he corrects my technique. I swish the water & sand around and suddenly there are gold flakes amongst the sand at the bottom of the pan AND IT WAS A WHOLE NEW WORLD. I now know what gold fever really means. I figured I could quit my day job and pay for life of easy by panning for gold. The only drawback was that is took about two hours and I only found about $2 worth of gold.... I didn't quit my day job.

  15. If this man can make bologna interesting, he is a part of history, that deserves to be remembered.
    150
  16. Thanks, History Guy! That's way more than I ever knew... I guess it's not such a silly day off after all.
    149
  17. LOL. That was perfect. Not too short. Not too long. Truly a Goldilocks moment.
    147
  18. Me to my husband this morning: OMG ONE OF MY FAVE HISTORY YOUTUBERS JUST DROPPED A VIDEO ON ONE OF MY FAVE SUBJECTS YEEEEEEEEE!!!11! Me at 4:27 dang, History Guy, settle down!
    143
  19. I remember as a little kid asking my father how Santa Claus got around when there wasn't any snow. He says: "Well, son... he drives a station wagon." Seemed logical to me.
    128
  20. Your channel was pure gold long before the award. Imao.

  21. The historical period just before coffee was discovered is actually known as the “Dark Ages.”
    101
  22. While trying to discover the origins of the phrase "Woah, Nelly" (or Nellie) which was used by wrestler Dick Lane and sportscaster Keith Jackson (and in the movie Toy Story), I came across the mention of a woman sometimes known as Nellie King who purportedly scandalized Minnesota and Wyoming in the late 1800s with eccentric behavior, outright theft, and Impersonation, including horse thieving, masquerading as a detective, and being a laudanum addict. Sounds to me like a new research subject for THG!

  23. Truly a cold blooded crime.
    89
  24. I seriously geek out on the history of metallurgy. You can talk about metal all the live long day and I'll watch all of it. Great episode.
    86
  25. Hey kid, beet it with the puns.

  26. When we were younger, before life’s demands really kicked into full gear, my brother and I took a month+ long road trip around the western US. 30+ years later, it is still one of both of our greatest experiences we ever undertook. We traveled until we only had enough money to limp back into mom’s driveway. For anyone contemplating a similar adventure, I can only tell you “totally worth it” would be a huge understatement.
    75
  27. I became a Titanic nerd when I was just 5 or 6 years old, before the movie came out. So for the last 3 decades I have always wondered why the crew of the Titanic has been seemingly forgotten despite their unquestionable heroic actions. Even the captain gets wrongly portrayed as being subpar despite no evidence to support such a characterization. The crew weren’t just victims that fateful night, they became victims of history being rewritten for our superficial entertainment. Therefore, I must thank you for shining some light on these heroic people who saved far more lives than otherwise would have been saved by a less capable crew. “Greater love havth no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”

  28. I'm laughing hysterically! I used to work at a now-defunct winery here in PA, outside of Lancaster, and we tried to make sparkling wine one season. Vin du Diable, indeed! "IS SOMEBODY SHOOTING SOMEONE IN THE CELLAR?!" Ah, well. Winemaking is a mix of science and art, and always an experiment. Our experiment failed in a dramatically awesome way.
    67
  29. And here I thought this “murder” would go into the cold case file.
    67
  30. I wonder if they fell into the ocean while observing the oil slick.
    66
  31. I am just happy knowing that in a more innocent time it was OK to name your child "Harry Johnson".

    48
  42. This morning, as I was drinking my coffee and waiting in line to drop off my third grader at class, his teacher noticed my History Guy mug and said the he uses your videos to help teach history. Thanks History Guy, for passing along history to another generation so it won’t be forgotten
    46
  43. I grew up on Salisbury steak cooked with onions and gravy. It was a treat for us.

  45. An amazing story to say the least.I was in a sub shop late one night and an older gentlemen came in that reminded me of santa claus.He told me he can just came home from doing a tour at the south pole.We talked for a while and he mentioned something about an ATM machine with the station only having one.He said he was glad to get back to civilazation .He was a geolagists and had been working at the south pole for 3 yrs.Pardon my spelling.Thanks history guy.

  46. Thank you for covering the History of April 29th. My Dad Bruce would have been 104 today. He was a WWII Navy veteran and participated in the Battle of Okinawa. He served on the Attack Cargo ship AKA-81, the USS Valencia. They delivered Marines and equipment to the island.
    39
  47. Congratz Lance. If high school history was as interesting as your presentations, there would be a more educated and better informed populace, who would be better prepared to make decisions that affect their future.
    38
  48. Good morning History Guy and everyone watching. Have a good weekend all.
    37
  49. Gold is too common to represent the quality of your content- you are easily worthy of Rhodium.
    37
  50. Great episode. Would make a great movie. These women deserve more recognition.

  55. As an archaeologist and historian this is why I subscribe to your channel, sir. Knowledge I didn't know.
    29
  56. Just think, in 20 years he can do a video about the boeing scandal & all of the whistle-blowers that kept mysteriously dying. Looking forward to the video. Great stuff THG, keep the quality programming coming. Been watching you for a few years and looking forward to the future.
    28

    24
  58. Well deserved, and well earned.

  59. There is nothing better or more soothing then a great chocolate bar i personally like Dark Chocolate but even milk chocolate is great as well =)

  60. I was able to expand the video by "stretching it" with forefinger and thumb on my android phone and make it almost full screen. (About 90% of the screen)...a fitting exercise while hearing about the family who went from one side of the Continent to the other 😊
    22
  61. Great episode! Watched it while on break…….from making M&M’s.
    21
  62. I was going to type out something long and meaningful, but figured a simple nod and tip of the glass would suffice. Congrats on 1M

  65. My retired USAF meteorologist says this was quite the story in their circles which were not in the Arctic. 🥶 our kids grew up being threatened with Ellesmere Island. (Grounding in a cold place, it seems, was the most extreme punishment he could think of.)
    19
  66. Hey history guy am I reading this right? Over 1 million subscribers? I knew it! Great format. Great topics. History still rocks! I’m one of your earliest subscribers (I think). All the best! Let’s push forward to 2!

  71. The Gibbs reference was funny.
    15
  72. I was wondering why we weren't seeing THG,then the big reveal! Congrats History Guy. 👏 It's been a pleasure to be on this journey with you for at least 3 years. Heres to many more.
    15
  73. One of the best history channels :)
    15
  74. Thank you for covering this !
    15
  75. That, my friends, is a road trip. Road not included. If they were still around, I'd treat them to a steak dinner and the beer of their choice. A true inspiration.
    15
  76. Thank you for that detailed and informative summary of the Siege of Charleston, proving that just because you can "lay siege" it does not mean you will take the objective.
    15
  77. I'm never disappointed when I watch the History Guy. I've seen dozens of episodes and always learn something new in every one. Thank you Mr. H. Guy.
    15
  78. The many different stories THG presents are always varied, and always very enlightening! Thanks, THG!
    14
  79. I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

  80. There is National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus Ga that has examples of 'torpedoes', ironclads, and other artifacts from the era. I have a Merrimack refrigerator magnet as a souvenir. 😁
    14
  81. What, no Ice Island pirates?
    13
  82. Thank God, sanity prevailed, and the horses were saved. It was a long-held dream to see them at the Spanish Riding School, which I was able to achieve last year ❤.
    13
  83. The ending left me with a smile on my face.
    13
  84. My grandfather always referred to the flu as the “epizootic”. He was born in 1890, well after this event, but I wonder if stories from this time were still being told?
    12
  85. So many people have never gotten the recognition they deserve throughout history. The WASPS are among them. Thank you ladies.
    12
  86. Love when THG drops a new video definitely one of my favourite YouTube creators along with Mark Felton! Keep up your awesome content!
    12
  87. A 'golden' opportunity to say how much I enjoy the channel and hope you will keep up the good work
    12
  88. Great idea! Would love to see more types of these compilation videos!
    12
  89. Good to see that The History Guy is a Lego fan! 😊👍
    12
  90. My, how things change. We watch this video from the comfort of our ... wherever... , maybe even our trusty horseless carriage, scarcely able to imagine the toil and hardship this family endured for weeks in every weather in an extremely primitive vehicle. Bathrooms? Enclosed cabin? Gas available AT ALL? Restaurants? Not even a place to wash your dishes after you cook while on the road. Power steering? Electric starter? Automatic transmission? Automatic choke? Power brakes? Properly formatted video? GPS? Maps that fold properly? Roadside assistance? Who needs that when you have a shovel, winch, windlass, and a 30-30 Winchester? There's coyotes, you know. Also wolves, bears, mountain lions, trigger- happy shepherds. Oh my. Where they were going, they didn't even need roads! Lance, I loved this video.
    12
  91. Warmest congratulations, you deserve it!
    12
  92. Awwww… you wove your thank you to subscribers in when you saw a golden opportunity to do so! We thank YOU for always giving us videos that are pure gold!
    12
  93. I was not expecting the ending. Congratulations! THG is the gold standard of YT history channels.
    11
  94. THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY TO SEE! I've been a fan of your channel for years, and to see my family in an episode made me absolutely ECSTATIC!! Thank you for covering him! I sent this to my dad :)
    11
  95. What a great story.. We love you Lance.
    11
  96. You certainly deserve the viewership, and indeed more. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. ⭐🥇🏆
    11
  97. Great episode. Made my Monday soar. Loved the touch of humor, a real gas. THG does it again!
    11
  98. You're the only YouTuber I know of who could induce me to click on a video about the history of shipping containers with the expectation of a good program. I was not disappointed. :)

  101. Some puns make me bristle, but yours was a clean sweep

  102. The Packard was probably the best choice possible. Our family had 2 over the years. The last was a Caribbean. I still miss that car.
    10
  103. Congrats! Thanks for showing that history deserves to be remembered.

  106. Though the video is small, I still enjoy. Thanks much!
    10
  107. You mention the movie "Glory" . Really a very good movie. Probably Matthew Broderick's best movie IMO. Also starred Morgan Freeman and a young Denzel Washington for those who may have never seen it.

  108. There is no shuffle There is no shuffle here Here on the North Pole On this quiet dome Sunshine on crystal And milky walls of ice All seem so fragile Under the polar sky (Front 242)

  109. Why did the battleship keep swearing? It had turrets. I just read a book about building battleships. It was riveting. Why do Norwegians have barcodes on their battleships? So they can Scandinavian.

  110. This history lesson is the Bee's knees

  115. Sitting at the bottom of the ocean trapped and dying of hypoxia and hypothermia. Suddenly, the escape hatch opens and some guy hands a bunch of salty sailors a free ride to the surface and a box of sandwiches. The response, “Hey...what took you so long and why didn’t you bring any napkins?!”. What balls these guys had! That was the legacy passed on to my generation when I was in the Navy 30 years later. I can only hope we did those guys justice....tough act to follow.

  116. Man I haven't had Salisbury steak since grade school lunch room, lets just say well over 50 years ago! Off to look for a recipe.

  117. I've had two flamingos in my yard for the past 15 years. they remind me of my grandparents who had pink flamingos in their yard as long as I can remember. They make me smile.

  118. Congratulations... It's nice to hear the "golden" words. Wish you "golden" days ahead.
    8
  119. Once again, you have fund a piece of history that most of us have not heard of which is interesting and useful. Thank you, THG.
    8
  120. I don't mean to alarm you but there was some weird goings on behind you during the beginning. Almost a cat-astrophe
    8
  121. Lance, Well Done and of Course All Good Stories Involve Pirates. Congratulations, History Deserves to Be Remembered...
    8
  122. Sweet video! Thank you for waxing on this subject!
    8
  123. History that Deserves to be Remembered...Indeed.
    8
  124. This reminds me of the initial incarnation of this channel with its 5 minute videos. The great irony of gold is the metal's incorruptability. It never tarnishes. Yet what also makes it legendary is its ability to corrupt people.
    8
  125. This brings back memories of my father pouring over maps and tour guides during the winter planning our summer trip. He was born in 1922 and certainly 'the family road trip' was a highlight of his youth. He recalled that when going over one of the Canadian passes in the Rocky Mountains the car couldn't manage the grade. Since all cars were rear wheel drive, you just had to go up that section backwards! And, of course, besides being steep it was also narrow with a drop off on one side.
    8
  126. Is that a storm trooper I see riding a buffalo on the shelf? And is that a Prince Harry bobblehead? I love how you continually change the shelves behind you 😊
    8
  127. Please don't ever change your music at the ending I just love It . This episode gives everyone something to think about. Thank you.
    8
  128. Congratulations! And cheers!

  129. I'm less imprseed with the trip than the man being able to find such a ride or die wife.
    7
  130. Another great episode
    7
  131. Congratulations! This shows history is still a force that must be reckoned with.

  132. Back in the Saddle Again Naturally 📣

  133. Congrats mate on a great achievement! I always enjoy the history lessons you present! Especially the obscure history and stories that involve pirates like myself!
    7
  134. Awesome video, as always. Please consider also covering the early-WWII battles of East Africa - kinda fascinating and very little covered, I think.
    7
  135. April 29, 1994 marks an important day in history. That's the day my son was born! Happy Birthday David, I llove you!

  139. I like all three of these candies and buy them regularly. The history of them is so neat & I fully agree, needs to be remembered.

  143. Thanks for the hard work and history lessons

  144. Thanks! I have an awesome album of the event. Many of my photos are used in the "Command and Control" movie done by Robert Kenner / Eric Schlosser for PBS- TV (On NetFlix too). Rex Hukle and I were the first two guys to enter the Titan II silo after it had been leaking fuel for nearly 8 hours. We're the only two guys in history (to my knowledge) to "break in" to a nuclear missile complex...lol. The launch crew had been evacuated and the SAC commanders wanted us to get inside to a Vapor detection panel that was behind two 6,000 lb blast doors. So, we had to cut through the fence, break through a steel frame door, break through a steel cage door and then go down 35 feet to hook up a hydraulic pump to the first blast door. I honestly can't believe that only one guy died that night. There was so much concrete scattered all over that site, it was amazing.

  145. I had a vision of a coyote running off with Milton’s trousers thinking “shoot at me will ya. Ya bastard!”

  146. Honey and bees are so great we have no real idea ,in last few months I've made candles , wood finish, and made a bees wax and canola oil stuff to put on new leather boots and other horse leather gear from bees wax I got in a big chunk from the local bee man ....lol I'm also making some moonshine using some fresh honey I got given after helping them get un stuck one-day with the tractor and got stung like 7 times

  149. As hard as it is to believe, there are people who don't enjoy chocolate, especially given the many forms in which it can be eaten or drunk. I've always felt sorry for them. richard -- One of the phrases you are least likely to hear: "That's the banjo player's Porsche."

  150. I have been a private pilot/commercial pilot/flight instructor since 1989. I have parachuted from perfectly good aircraft. I have visited airshows, museums, etc. I've been aboard aircraft carriers, seen an SR-71 land and do fly by's. I've met Frank Boreman of Apollo 8. I've even met Neal Armstrong and had him sign my logbook. I have read countless aviation books and magazines and viewed thousands of videos and I had never heard this story. Thank you, History Guy, for telling about this brave pioneer. He DESERVES to be remembered. Top flight all the way.

  157. Epizootic - been a long time since I've heard that word. Back in the 60's that was the word Dad used instead of flu. For instance, "So and So has the epizootic". And everyone knew exactly what it meant.

  160. There were pictures in the press at the time of local Swedes rowing out to a sub stuck on the rocks with hot coffee and cinamon rolls. I don´t know if it was Whiskey or some other , as there were a couple of others that managed to duck out before they became much of an incident (or so it is said) but the optics were hilarious!

  161. Great account of 10 cent beer night. No one has gone into so much of the background and other details of the game. Well done.

  162. It makes me happy to be one in a million. Congratulations!

  163. I did a Graduate research paper on the effects of antibiotic resistant plague and its potential for becoming an international pandemic back in 1998. I used data from the Calcutta plague outbreak of '93 in which they had to shutdown the airports across a large swath of India to prevent that very thing. With today's travel restrictions still in place that potential is greatly lessened, but is still ever present. Pneumonic plague is a public health nightmare of apocalyptic proportions if not detected STAT. It would make the whole COVID debacle look like a silly child's game in comparison. I apologize for the ramble but this gem brought back that memory. Love your vids 👍👍 and thanx for the history I missed.

  172. I saw/met Jim Irwin when he came to our school in Brooksville, FL around 1990 (shortly before he passed). I was in the 6th grade. We were all star struck and all received personalized autographed photos of him on the moon. Mine said, "Danny, reach for your dreams. Aim high!" I still have it today. It's one of my favorite possessions. He arrived on the school grounds in a helicopter to our amazement. I remember him being tall and well tanned. I snapped many photos of him and the helicopter and may still have those photos somewhere. He made a short appearance at the school during the day and then gave an evening speech at a homecoming event. I never knew about the scandal until just a few years ago. Just as well. We all admired him so much back then. Just looking at the photo has sometimes encouraged me and made me feel some kind of connection with him. Only a few years ago I found and cheaply purchased a large print of the exact photo at a thrift store here in Japan. I now have two. One large, unsigned. One smaller, autographed.

  173. This is very apropos for our family right now. We are planning an "Epic Family Road Trip" for this summer. We're driving from Utah to Sioux Falls, to Duluth, to Chicago, to Boston, to New York City, to Philadelphia, to Kirkland, to Kansas City and then home. Did I mention that we're taking all 8 of our children (ages 1 to 18) with us? If you see a Blue Chevy Express with Utah plates pulling a small trailer, be sure to wave!

  178. Well, “The History Guy” is Pure Gold

  179. It is amazing how circular history can be where we go from goat paths and rutted dirt trails to smooth tarmac roads and are now going back to tarmac goat paths 😉 But as for the shepherd shootout that would be because they brought their guns if they were serious they would have just brought their bear sized guardian dogs.

  180. Somehow I missed your channel. Keep up the good work!

  208. I write this missive to you on July 4th. I would wish to sincerely thank you for reminding us of this extraordinary occurrence. I would have written you sooner, but I figured that tears were probably bad for the keyboard.... I always greatly appreciate your efforts, but for reasons likely related to the great challenges faced by our nation today, this one hit me very hard. That's a good thing. Thank you as always. Yr.

  243. I went to college in Dahlonega, GA. The mountain on which Dahlonega sits is honeycombed with gold veins that are said to be the purest in the world at 98.7 percent pure. It is the source of the phrase, "there's gold in them thare hills". We used to crawl through the old mine tunnels when I was in college. Most are gone now. People still pan for gold there and there is a private mine that is still in operation. There was so much gold coming out of the mountain that the federal government built a mint there 1836. It caught fire and burned in 1878. Price Memorial Hall (the university's administration building and 1st building of North Georgia College) was built on it's stone foundation. Congratulations on your achievement.

  252. I suggest that the greatest invention of early Man wasn't the bed, but shoes--without them, we wouldn't be able to forage or hunt very successfully at a distance--we'd lose a lot of sleep not eating, comfy bed or not. : ). Maybe do an episode on that?

  259. Having done many family and personal road trips while growing up, and as an adult, I have see all the west and some of the south by automobile. I found myself emotional listening to this episode, imagining such a journey with no proper roads, which I have quite a bit of experience with as a hang glider pilot. But hats off to the gentlemen who did the journey with a ! 4-1/2 ! horsepower engine (basically the size of your lawnmower), in 61 days, where now you can do it in about 5 days-ish. Another one of your best HG Lance.

  260. That chocolate bar is not truly a sensible amount for one person, THG! lol. I'm not that into hershey or mars anymore; we've a truly wonderful chocolatier in town.

  287. YOU'RE ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL RIGHT NOW? 😍❤️❤️❤️ I literally yelled to my husband, "My History Guy is on TV!!" 😅 Yes, I'm the one with the T-shirts and hundreds of hours clocked on your great content. I'm SO glad your expertise is being recognized!

  296. My family still won’t let me live down the time I was supposed to cut the grass for the first time after a rather snowy winter and wet spring. Not matter how I tried, the gas mower would not start. I checked the gas tank and it was full of the usual faint red fluid and I told my dad the mower was broken. He came out to check the mower and asked the usual questions dads always do when trying to fix a problem, and after 10 futile minutes of trying to start it he began to check over the mower himself. When he looked into the gas tank to see if there was any gas he discovered that it was full of rusty water from sitting outside all winter and spring. After removing all the water and refilling it with real gasoline it fired right up on the second pull. To this day (I’m 66 years old) my younger brother always calls me in the spring to tell me to give tank on my mower a “sniff” test before I use it for the first time every season.

  303. What a wonderful story of extraordinary people. Thank you Team THG. It breaks my heart to think of the white "patriot" troops hell bent on enslaving "freed blacks." Equally heartbreaking is the rise of racial hatreds in the USA in 2024. (Ironic how the lingering remnant of the C.S.A. continues to re-write the scourge of slavery to this day.)

  306. Didn't go thru all the comments, but I'm probably closed to the oldest commenter, I'm 80, and interesting enough, my wife and I had "baloney" sandwiches yesterday. I prefer white bread, Miracle Whip, lettuce and slice of sweet onion. The "real" stuff isn't so inexpensive today, unless you buy the stuff that's made with TURKEY! Anyway, whenever I have a "baloney" sandwich, I'm ten years old, camping in the mountains of Wyoming, hoping my fishing pole has got a trout caught while I ate lunch. As Bob Hope used to sing to close out his show "thanks for the memories".

  307. We have photos of my husband's grandparents on their cross country trip from Iowa to Yellowstone in 1928. They had never seen a shower before & wore their shoes into them. The roads were still iffy into the 20's. But Gramps liked less traveled routes, better for crop checking ;-)

  318. I’ve got to say it’s been a long strange trip! What a bunch of great memories though. If you should find yourself far off in northern Nevada there’s still a touch of the wild here. A touch of native mystery and military pioneering, in the high desert the sunsets and rise are enough to make you wish you could paint. Thank you for all the great stories along the way, these last couple years have been enlightening and memorable

  321. This video brought back childhood memories of my grandmother, who worked at a commercial laundry, in Amityville, NY. She would collect loose buttons. Not just a few, but jars and jars of buttons. She taught me, and my siblings, how to sew buttons, by sewing her collection to pieces of 3 by 5 index cards. We were then taught how to use her sewing machine, a trustworthy Singer. Years later, as I got married and had children, it was not my wife who taught my daughter and two boys how to sew. It was me. To hear my son pipe up at a cub scout event, years ago, when asked if his mommy could sew on her badges, he said, "Mommy doesn't know how to sew, my daddy does!" It caused quite the chuckle from all of the adults there. Now, my kids are all grown up, and know how to mend any rips or tears that might befall their clothes. And if they lose a button? You'd better believe they know how to sew on a button! Thanks for bringing back such a great memory from my childhood.

  325. Our one trip to the west from PA to Washington was the only trip cross country our family made when I was young. It was done in a 1966 International travel-all pulling an 18 foot travel trailer. Great times were had back then. I miss it.

  350. Greetings from Cheyenne! Had no idea you were a University of Wyoming alumnus! I majored in History as well at UW. Weirdly small world. Love your vids, subscribed for years. This one spoke to me as it did with many others just because of the adventure of motorized cross country travel. Not sure what was going on with the video size, barely 2/3 of my screen this time. Great stuff and reminded me of many a road trip in my youth and my more recent past as well. Thanks for your efforts, they are appreciated out in the wilds of Wyoming!

  364. Well done for getting that golden award from YouTube. Not wanting to miss a golden opportunity to congratulate you on that. I’m sure there are (or should it be aargh) some pirates in the back story somewhere, because after all, don’t all good stories involve pirates?

  372. I am so sorry! I have a nervous system disorder that causes twitches and I accidentally hit the dislike button when trying to click like. Twice. There was absolutely no way this video deserved a dislike. It was very interesting and enjoyable (including the cat lol). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research with all of us. Edited to add: I did eventually manage to give it a like. 👍🏼

  380. Oh my, when I saw the title of this history Guy episode, I had to watch it. Yes, it brought back memories! I am 61 going on 62. I remember this show from the early to mid 60s with great fondness. In those days, there was only one TV in the house, and my mom would put the TV on so my brother and I could watch Captain Kangaroo. He was a part of my childhood, and he was like the grandfather that I never had the privilege to know. :-) Thank you for giving the captain a salute and making so many of us smile and remember the kind man who taught us so much.

  407. I love this channel. Thank you.
    2
  408. Just came across this video and can I just say, I love the fact that an older person and historian has such a huge following. It’s refreshing to see when you consider how many young people are making idiotic, worthless content with millions of views and subscribers. This is the kind of channel I love to see thriving on youtube.

  437. Ah, so insulting you is how one gets their own episode of The History Guy? Very well, I shall then give you the Dickens. You Tale of Two Cities, you Oliver Twist, you Old Curiosity Shop! How dare you neglect to... shoot, what do I want an episode about? Ummm... how dare you ignore the rich history of... Long... Island... fishermen? Yeah, that's what I'm going with. I don't know what offense you may have caused, and in fact I am almost certain that there is none, but I sure as heck won't let that stop me from presuming it exists! Where's the Long Island Fishermen episode that you never promised us and which I have no true right to demand???
    2

  446. Thank you for telling the Sqallus (spelling?) story. I was a 25 year navy diver, during a duty night as a diver wanna be at second class dive school in Coronado I looked upon the pictures of those M of H awarded Navy divers with awe and hero worship. Years later I worked at Deep Submergence Unit (DSU) and was a qualified Submarine Rescue Chamber (SRC) operator. I made a seal at 400 ft during training ops. We used to tease the submarine sailor’s we worked with who operated the DSRV’s Mistic and Avalon that ours was the only submarine rescue equipment that had ever actually rescued any submariners.

  549. Congratulations!! You really are the gold standard of history YouTubers. All I keep thinking of is how Cerebus the Aardvark, when he became pope, decreed that the world would end unless everyone would bring him ALL the gold. He had a visitation from Heaven that warned that the world was really going to end because a few coins might be trapped under buildings or such and be unrecoverable.

  550. Yes, that's how they pronounced Gemini. Not a mistake.

  597. 6/28/2024 My uncle, George Wicks, (we called him uncle Bud) served aboard the Missouri on her Maiden voyage and through WW2. He retired a Chief Gunners Mate with 30 years service. When I was stationed in San Diego in 1968 the New Jersey stopped there on its way to Viet Nam, Moored directly in front of the New Jersey was the aircraft carrier USS Constellation. I was stunned by just how huge the New Jersey was, compared to a front line aircraft carrier. The Iowa class battleships were the pride of the US Navy, in some ways, they still are.

  606. When I was 12, and for the first time body conscious, I began substituting saccharine for sugar. Not long after aspartame went into widespread use. I hated it's chemical taste and quickly discovered that it would give me horrendous migraine headaches including chills, convulsions, partial blindness with auras, and vomiting. Years later I discovered that I wasn't the only one affected this way. Give back the saccharin!

  616. Having an interest in Abraham Lincoln, who experienced the tragic loss of his, and his wife, Mary's younger sons, I was most interested in your account of what became of their surviving son, Robert. I knew he had married and lived to be quite elderly, but little else about him. I will subscribe to your interesting channel, which an American friend introduced me to.

  629. My brother and I were in the “way back”! The seats faced each other toward the center of the car. I remember the day in the mid 1960’s when my dad drove up in our new Ford station wagon. It was a white car with “wood” panels down the sides. Much improved travel compared to our old Buick “green bomb.”

  657. 6/28/2024 I am always interested in events happening on November 10th, because it is my birthday. Here I have some additional interest because I am, myself a Navy veteran (9/23/1965 - 9/22/1969) and was an Aviation weapons specialist. Bombs don't just blow up, but the fuses that arm them can and due if mishandled. One can only wonder what really happened that day 2 years before I was born. The USS MT. Hood is not the only ship to come to a mysterious end on November 10th. The Greatlakes Freighter Edmond Fitzgerald also sank under mysterious conditions on Lake Superior on November 10th. November 10th is also the US Marine Corps birthday, Which I had the honor of celebrating with them November 10, 1966. We had one great time. Ooh Rah. Personally I find all the circumstance intergang. Hopefully, no more ships will suffer strange fate on November 10th..

  685. Thanks for doing an episode on Camp Ellis. It was in my home county in Illinois. I have heard about it through the years, but the camp was long gone before my family moved to Fulton County in the 1960s. I knew about the POW camp being there, but not that it trained and housed so many other people. As a tribute to the camp, one of my friends built an old early 1950s Chevy 1/2 ton pickup truck and had “Camp Ellis Raceway” painted on the doors. It seems that some backroads racing was done in the vicinity of the old camp after it closed in in the 1950s. Not far from Camp Ellis is the Dickson Mounds state museum which is on the site of a Mississippian Indian city. When the first white settlers came to the County in the early 1820s there were several hundred Potawatomi Indians living in the county for at least part of the year. At one time Fulton County stretched from west of the Illinois River all the way to the shores of Lake Michigan and what would become the Chicago metro area. Glad you did this story. Now I know a lot more about the history of my home county!

  692. My Dad once told of his introduction to tamales. Dad was born in 1905 in Burnet County, Texas. In his pre-teen years he and his father moved the 40 or so miles to Austin. Once in Austin he noticed a street-vendor walking the downtown streets with his tin pail of tamales. He said until then he had never heard of tamales. Once he purchased one he was a fan of tamales. Later he advised that those tamales were particularly "greasy" but oh so tasty!

  702. I work in the wine biz in the US, and early on in my career I would read about wines with black currant and gooseberry notes (not the same wine!). Black currant can be tasted easily by jam or crème de cassis. But gooseberry? Harder to find, though jam is available, but I decided to buy some plants and grow my own. I sold that house that I had planted my first, very productive, bushes after 22 years, and have planted new ones at my new house. It’ll be 3 years until a crop comes along, but I’ll take them to my students to show them what the typical descriptor of Sauvignon Blanc is supposed to be.

  721. Well, for what its worth, here's a Brit, of English and Welsh decent living in Scotland, who likes Yanks this Yank in particular. And, on the topic of the misused term England meaning Britain, I am lead to believe that in many languages the word England is the word for Britain as was the case in England itself until relatively recently. I am also lead to believe that the Scots Word Alba which means Scotland has its roots in the Old English word Albion meaning England.

  730. I once heard an interesting story about Wyatt Earp in Hollywood. That involved a young Stage Hand that had recently dropped out of USC because a knee injury ended his football career. Luckily, Marion Morrison found a new career, working for John Ford in Hollywood - as a new star named John Wayne. Maybe a moment in history worth hearing more about? (I love this channel!)❤❤❤
