Welcome “Concert in the Park “ 30 years ago?
Thank you Whittier for the concerts and movies!
Love the audio, do Kanye West next!
I loved seeing the goats along the San Gabriel River Trail a few years ago. I will check out their new lunch spot 😊 I like that the city uses such a natural approach to clearing brush.
Little devils are sooo cute❤❤❤.
Homeschool teachers you will love this video! Excellent quality, in-depth, but not boring. Very good visuals to keep students engaged. Doesn't go on and on unnecessarily. Thank you!
Very nice video, a tribute to a great man and to the founders of Whittier. So many of the street names are founders or related to Pennsylvania.
Why did they either move the barefoot boy or redo the place where he sits? It used to be enclosed in trees & bushes. Like an enchanted little glade in the middle of the city. So sad that they changed it. That spot was beautiful.
I'm related to this man.
John Greenleaf Whittier's younger brother, Mathew Franklin Whittier, was a talented author in his own right, but published anonymously. For this reason, he is only historically known as the author of one satirical anti-slavery series featuring "Ethan Spike." I have posted a paper entitled "An Overview of the True Literary Legacy of Mathew Franklin Whittier," which is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by searching on the title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/Overview.pdf
Oh
Super educational video quality and information. Love it!
I do not understand why this video has so few visits? Because the information is pure ground gold!
He is a ancestor of mine
Mine too. I found out in details a few years back...
Read more about Whittier and his poem, "Barbara Frietchie," in the book released in June 2020. "The Mystery of Barbara Fritchie a True Patriot," can be ordered at www.tamarathayerbooks.org
nice
I lived on Greenleaf ave!
I am not 100% certain of it, but I believe I may be related to John Greenleaf Whittier on my father's side of the family...I overheard my grandfather mention his name upon his return from a visit to his family in Portland, Maine...he brought the family tree back with him but I didnt get to see it, being very young . The way I found out about the abolitionist association is rather eerie and strange and too much to say here...but Time has endeared me to the poet with whom I feel I share more in common than any person I know, except my maternal grandfather; he also is deceased and someone I never met!
As am I. On my mother's side. All whittiers. They did genetic testing. The men in my family have Greenleaf as a middle name. Did you know John is related to HH Holmes. Not very pleasant stuff. But John was a great man. Perhaps we are kin. Best wishes to you.
I know without a doubt that i am related to him...on my moms side...the whittier name runs strong in my family still
For a city that cares about it's own history so much why did they remove the original two cemeterys in uptown where it's first citizens were laid to rest and all of the headstones were left in a pile behind the whittier museum for years.
Also ask why they left the bodies in "Deadmans park" (I forget the real name) but there's a park where they just moved the headstones & left the bodies. Atleast they put up a memorial to those who are still there..
