Great video as usual. I stopped by the entrance to the Civil War fort, but did not pursue checking it out. However, I have watched a documentary on the Civil War fort. I loved visiting Boonesboro. Thank you.
Samuel Boone was my 6th great grandfather. There are still Boone relatives residing in neighboring communities. My family history runs deep in this area. But I’m proud to say, most of these ancestors supported or fought for the Union during the Civil War. The ones who fought in the wrong side of the war either died from disease or were captured. Ky became a union state or commonwealth a year before the war ended. They were the badass hillbillies who fought and won the American Revolution.
I went to Boonsboro a couple of years back. I found a reenactment, were after the encampment, they had a celebration or a party in period time, after the battle. That said, after Boonsboro, I found a fort on a hill, that went up so far, then you hiked the rest. It was a fort with cannon around it so many feet. Not a lot left as for barracks etc. I wish I could remember exactly where it was.
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy I did a road trip in KY a few years ago. I started in Hazard and ended up at Boonsboro. I stop every were that was historical. That is when I found out, how bad KY was fought over in the CW. But the fort you are talking about reminds me of one we stopped at, it was mostly cannon, no barracks. It has been so long, I do not remember if they were restoring it or what. I hope they do. The other place was in SE KY, they had a reenactment, followed by a dance. Pretty cool. Sorry I was just thinking out loud.
Caught me offguard. You're talking Boonesboro not Boonsboro. Because of course a couple of miles south of Boonsboro was the deadliest one-day battle of the Civil War along Antietam Creek.
Awesome, thanks for the tip. So many of those tiny river towns that were once important with river trade that have disappeared. When. I travel those areas I imagine how many folks lived along the river areas and how wild it is that now, it is the boonies.
Yes sir we do, we’d be glad to help you with that. You can see our plans at www.familytreenuts.org or you can reach out at info@familytreenuts.org and we can follow up with a phone call to get it all squared away for you.
Wow. Never knew the Civil War history there. Great video
Ya man, it gets overlooked because of the pioneer history here but there is surprisingly a lot of Civil War history as well!
Beautiful, thank you for your presentation.Ole Daniel is my 6th great grandfather.
Well thanks for your support, that’s a pretty cool ancestor that you have.
Great video!!!
Thanks for your support!
Love the Great Videos! how about a video on Civil War Fort Duffield in North Hardin County,Kentucky and Battle of Munfordville,Kentucky Thanks Again.
I’ll have to check those out thanks for the tip!

Oh really? Where is this documentary?
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy It has been a long while since I viewed the documentary Col. Martin.
I hope to be in Kentucky late Spring, or when there is good weather.
Hopefully you can visit some of the historic sites.
That was a great tour. Thank You.
Thank you sir!

Interesting, thanks for sharing !
Absolutely, my pleasure!
also maybe Fort Williams in Glasgow,Kentucky and the Battle of Cynthiana also in Kentucky Thank You!
Definitely would like to do those as well. I’ve been to the sites in Cynthiana and the bridge site.
Very Nice Video, Russ. I have never been to the site of the Civil War fort but somewhat familiar with the area.
Awesome sir, I hope that you get to visit there.

Are you taking about the fort in this video?

It is across the Kentucky River from Boonesboro.
@@judypierce7028 I love road trips. I try to use them from point to point. LOL. But some of the best is things you just happen to come across
@@outdoorlife5396 WOW! Great idea!!
many forts/battlefields of the Rev War were also forts/battlefields during the Civil War.
Makes sense, strategic places.
Caught me offguard. You're talking Boonesboro not Boonsboro. Because of course a couple of miles south of Boonsboro was the deadliest one-day battle of the Civil War along Antietam Creek.
I would really like to hear about the long lost KY town known as Brooklyn in Jessamine County. I have found very little about that area.
Awesome, thanks for the tip. So many of those tiny river towns that were once important with river trade that have disappeared. When. I travel those areas I imagine how many folks lived along the river areas and how wild it is that now, it is the boonies.
I would love to hear the history of Valley View in Madison Co. I particular the last house on the right before the ferry.
Is that close to Boonesfarm where they make that cheap strawberry wine?
Haha, I’d say there was a Boone farm close at one time, but I doubt that they made wine.
I do not have the patience to research my genealogy. So is there a group of you that do the work and what would the group charge for the services.
Yes sir we do, we’d be glad to help you with that. You can see our plans at www.familytreenuts.org or you can reach out at info@familytreenuts.org and we can follow up with a phone call to get it all squared away for you.
It's on the Clark County side of the river!!!!!
Yes, but I’m missing your point.
It's still considered a failure Morgan still road past the fortications 😮😂
I use to teach about the Civil War there now u can't 😮😢
