This is a very interesting video! That house is well built and full of history. I’ve been to the battle field but never knew about this headquarters. It is wonderful that to see Hood’s leg grave. I especially like the drone views. Well done! 🎶🌺
So glad that these historical place are still around. Just makes me want to learn more about the Civil War that happened in my area. Thanks for another amazing episode.
Better hurry, first the statues and the flag ,then the forts, rest of our history. The number of Civil War sites that remain tells us how big and intense it was. Someday,maybe these videos are all that will be left. Whatever your feelings about it, i. it happened and more Americans died (mostly from disease) than in any others war America has ever been involved in.
I love museum tours but my all time favorite is historic houses related to the Civil War. That time in history is my addiction. Thank you for going into such detail when you are inside these buildings. And the leg grave...lol
Thank you for your videos on the US civil war. I’m from the UK and we didn’t learn much about the civil war back when I attended school, and your videos have taught me a lot of fascinating history!
Born and raised in Rome, GA about 45 minutes South of there. Northwest Georgia has some amazing history and I’m glad you’re showing it on your channel to so many people.
Sadness, humor, and irony, all in one lump. I'll just keep soaking up the history, as long as you have these videos Thank you, never get enough of you.
I am glad to see history being kept alive. The old cliche’ still rings true “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it”. I have been on the front lines of contemporary history, and even now people forget. Thank you for keeping history alive for those of us who served, suffered, and paid dearly both past and present. Those who do the bidding of our Governments know this so well.
Great presentation as usual. I was taken on vacation in 1957 by my uncle because my mom was have my baby brother. We visited Chattanooga, Lookout Mt. and Chickamouga Battlefields when I was 5. I took my own son when he was 5 in 1976 and my grandson when he was 10 in 2015. I have found memories of each trip and I believe that each started our love of American History. The grandson is now taking Advancement Placement W. History and will take AP American History next year. You have worked on your craft and it's getting better with each video.
Very interesting, thank you. its also probably about time I researched who this guy Sherman was. I think that perhaps if you are American you take for granted that eveybody knows but if you live on the other side of the world its an absolute mystery. That's why I love this channel, it actually teaches me so much about American History.
Sherman was the first general in "modern times" to champion the idea of total war. Destroy an enemy's economic base an it can't field it's armies. That's why he was so hated in the South. That sort of thing just wasn't done back then. The chivalric code and all that. It changed the face of warfare to this day.
If you study ww2,allies and the axis did the same thing except on a larger scale.thousands were killed in bombings. The Russian army gained notoriety for brutality and fear amongst their enemies.like Sherman's army they aren't the forgiving type.very successful
Very Well Done Trip , Awesome History Re- Traveled and hands on teaching of what it was like then . You will not find this sort of learning in our school 's today , folks !
Highly recommend: "Soldering the Civil War Diary of Rice C. Bull". Very informative read. Mr. Bull, of the Union Army, participated in the Sherman campaign in the South and then back again to the North. He was also in the Western front before that. His time in the war is an amazing story.
Very good video. I must admit, those mannequins startled me at first! Lol ! Those bone saws look like modern day mitre box saws, to me anyway. The blood stained pew was a chilling sight.
I’m just now finding this on your channel. Thank you for showing where my 5th Great Uncle’s leg is and where he recovered from the amputation. This was very interesting
Thank you for another wonderful video. You take us places not all will get to visit. I love history and appreciate your travels so very much. I live in Pennsylvania and have visited Gettysburg many times. Never can see it all. These places are so humbling and have a feeling all their own. Loved the music you selected for this video! Be safe!
I am not being critical but this house is in Tunnel Hill GA. It is four miles or so from the Tunnel Hill exit of I -75 south of Ringgold just north of Dalton. The Tunnel of Tunnel Hill was a famous spot on the Western &Atlantic railroad. It is the Tunnel made famous in the Great Locomotive Chase movie starring Fess "Daniel Boone" Parker. This is one of the richest Civil War destinations anywhere. It is truly a cant miss place. I enjoyed this episode as I do😅 all your work and channel.
Great video, as usual. General Hood lost the use of his left arm during the Battle of Gettysburg, so by the time he defended Atlanta he only had the use of his left leg and right arm. He died at age 48 of Yellow Fever, shortly after his wife, leaving behind 10 orphaned children.
Greetings sir, what a wonderful video and wow am I ever glad that I stumbled upon your channel! I grew up in Chattanooga for 10 years and now live about an hour east of Atlanta. For the last eight years I have made weekly vlogs of my trips to historical sites just like you do...I make the videos because I love sharing my enthusiasm of history with others and feel that if you just visit the spots where history took place, it really comes alive. But I must admit it's been rather lonely feeling like the only history vlogger on UA-cam! So you can imagine my extreme enthusiasm when I found your Andersonville videos in my research of the site (I'm hoping to travel there soon)...then I found all of your other videos....been binging several :D :D :D....it's been really cool to see you publish videos from my home turf. I've been to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, been to the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and several other sites you've filmed. Other of your videos are of places I know of but haven't filmed yet. I've visited Tunnel Hill (where you filmed this one) but not yet to film it. Anyways, I just wanted to comment to say: thanks for the great video, and channel. It's absolutely amazing to find a channel just like mine, now I have so many fun new videos to watch! You mentioned Chickamauga several times in this video, and I hope in your trip you managed to stop. It truly is an amazing place. Whether you did or didn't, here is the link to one of my videos of Chickamauga that I think you would enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/7IJsohYD5vA/v-deo.html I'm not posting new videos currently, but am filming a new batch to hopefully get back to regularly posting after Christmas. In the meantime, if you ever want to watch more history vlogs that are not your own, feel free to check out my channel! :) ~Austin/tnphotobug
Awesome as always. If you ever get a chance to come farther south, Sandersville, GA, there is a house called "The Brown House" that Sherman stayed in on his way to the sea. The table he had dinner at and a couch that he slept on are still in there. There is also a nice collection of war relics in there including a display of relics from my personal collection.
@@TheHistoryUnderground that would be awesome. I live right in the middle of his path and thought about that many times. I have several places that I relic hunt, and I love pulling the history out of the ground.
My ancestors had plantations somewhere in Georgia. Later relocated to East Texas and founded Pittsburgh Texas. One was a corporal in the Confederate army and is buried in the Pitts family cemetery
Cool video. Ringgold is about 1 hour north of me as i live by rome,ga also full of history. Gravesite of Ellen Axson Wilson-President Woodrow Wilson First Wife and geavesite of Robert Bruce Morrison-great-grandfather of Jim Douglas Morrison of The Doors. Many more places around like the Vann House and The Wright Hotel in Chatsworth and Moraivian Cemetery where my ancestor Chief Charles Renatus Hicks is buried. His son married the half sister to Chief John Ross for whom Rossville,GA is named after where i once lived. Never been to this house in Ringgold.
Wow. . .an interesting video with loads of history. . .the way they have the house set up is awesome. . .helps add to the information (especially for we visual learners). Thank you for posting this and be safe going to your next adventure. . .
Didn't Hood lose a arm at Gettysburg also? One tuff man! I have been building fences my whole life and never heard or seen a gate like that, it makes sense though. Didn't expect to learn about cow gates while enjoying some history. GREAT STUFF!
Union General Dan Sickles (known for his calamitous salient forward at Gettysburg) lost a leg in that battle, and he sent it on tour to museums!!! Talk about an egocentric.... he was also the first to use the "temporary insanity" defense successfully to beat a murder charge when he killed a man who was sleeping with his wife!!!
The battle of Ringgold Gap was supposed to be my great great’s last battle as he was put into the Veteran’s Reserve Corps, but when General Early approached Washington in June of 1864, it was decided that my great great’s VRC regiment needed to help defend the city. His regiment distinguished themselves in the defense of Washington City.
That Hood and Sherman stayed in the same house is something I didn't know, or overlooked in all my readings of the civil war. Or old age forgetfulness. Either way, you got it covered. As you say, pretty cool. I do remember reading about Hood and his leg. Nice video, thanks.
Awesome history as always! Awesome to see how they did those rails.. we know that they did it here on the western front as well during the second word war. Smashing guns around trees and what not. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I take interest in just about anything, so once I dive into a subject, I go overboard with it and try to learn everything that I possibly can. Then I take note of the locations and see if there's anything still around. I get a lot of recommendations too.
I really enjoy your videos. The background music on this one grabbed me as well. May I ask who was playing? Thanks for taking us along on your journeys. Be safe!
Actually got to join a bunch of pards and MAKE a "Sherman Necktie" with a rail at a re-enactment in Resaca Ga. back in the late 90's (I was Union of course) We did it right next to a rail line and as we finished two of them a modern freight train happened to roll by us. We balanced the bent rail up and all waved at the engineer...the look on his face was PRICELESS! (by the way it's a lot harder to make them than you'd think. Modern steel is tough)
I’ve found some great artillery over there. Tunnell hill is About ten minutes from me, you are missing the good Civil War sites!. Give me a shout sometime and I’ll take you to the ones no one know about.
Great video as always, as soon as I saw the story about the leg it made me think of the bloody coat sleeve at the National Civil War Museum. Belonged to Pickett if I remember correctly, from the battle of Gaines Mill.
@@TheHistoryUnderground , yeah, seriously, one of the best collections I’ve seen. I could’ve spent 2 days there, but my colleagues didn’t share my enthusiasm.
I was waiting for the gentleman at the desk to give us a tour! 😂🤷♀️ I so enjoy your videos! I settle in, knowing I’m in for a great story. I wouldn’t mind if they were longer. 😬
I wish I could see the brick work on the house. From a distance I thought it was a modern day home with modern brick and windows. One small glimpse of the brick work outside was all I could see that was up close. I could then tell it was older, but from a distance I would have guessed that home was built in the 70’s..... the 1970’s lol. Great video.
Canada here. The Clisby Austin house in Ringgold, Georgia is a substantial building. I'm glad to see that if an army needed it at least it was used as a hospital by the Confederates. Not so impressed to see Sherman take probably the very best building in the area for his HQ. What I really would like to know is did the Austins have their home returned to them, when, and in what condition? Most reports of the Union army was they took whatever they wanted, and then destroyed everything when they left an area.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative article on the Civil War ! If you looking the comments one mentioned another soldier losing his leg ! I made a comment about it there that you might like to read ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever or wherever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
I must have missed Hoods leg somehow. If you ever make it to the Wilderness Battlefield for a video make sure you go to Ellwood and give equal tribute to Stonewall Jackson's arm now lol
As an Englishman, I've always found American history to be my favourite subject, and these uploads are awesome for someone like me, so thank you 👍
This is a very interesting video! That house is well built and full of history. I’ve been to the battle field but never knew about this headquarters. It is wonderful that to see Hood’s leg grave. I especially like the drone views. Well done! 🎶🌺
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

Awesome! Glad that it's filling in some gaps. I'm really wanting to get over there to learn some more about your country.
@@billd.iniowa2263 believe me my country has so much history you wouldn’t know where to start!

Born and raised in Rome, GA about 45 minutes South of there. Northwest Georgia has some amazing history and I’m glad you’re showing it on your channel to so many people.
My mom was from there! Floyd County..."Roman-born, and Roman-bred", and now (she'd say) "I'm Roman-dead". Mom had that particular sense of humor.
I drove by Hoods home today. In mt. Sterling , Ky. He wss born in Owensville Ky 12 miles east . His father was a Doctor. Thanks,
A clear example of "one foot in the grave."
Lmao
Oh shoot! I literally laughed out loud at that. Wish I would've thought of that one in the moment.
Lol 😅🤣!!
Oh, well done sir!

John Bell Hood is my 5th great uncle. Love watching history on my ancestress. Thank you for sharing this vid.
I've passed through the area more times than I can count, but never stopped. Your videos are becoming bookmarks of places I need to see.
Glad you like them! Lots of great history in that part of the country.
How Brave, Tough and Amazing. Mr. Hood and the other Soldiers could teach us a Lot!! 👼😘🙏👏
Such a neat and hilarious twist with the resting place for General Hood’s leg. Really enjoyed this.
I thought so too. Thanks!

Plumbing with no plumbing and the leg burial, you have to chuckle. Great work on this one very entertaining. Be safe and take care.
Thanks, you too!
I wish I had known about this place when I was down in Georgia! Great content. I just bought one of those Western & Atlantic rails for my collection!
Very cool!
Once again, wonderfully done. After reading Shelby Foote's books on the civil war it is so cool to see these places come alive.
Thanks! Pretty cool to see where all of these things took place.
Always a great video, sir. Thank you.
Thanks!
This is such an awesome channel. My granddad watches this with my brother and me.
I’m going to put this on my bucket list! What a cool story!!!

Hall of fame content. I've enjoyed every single one so far.
That's so cool see John Bell Hood and General Sherman in the same house and his leg in the backyard wow thank you for this video
As always, informative and so interesting. Loved it!
🙏🏼
Another fine episode. Glad to get the history lessons and actually see where it happened!
👍🏻
Great video! Should have shown the railroad tunnel while you were there! Used to reenact there every September
Got another episode on this channel where I go through the tunnel. Very cool place.
Great video! Such a wonderful channel!
I am always interested in history. And this vid makes history more interesting!
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks!

Yeah, he was injured there. Complete fail on my part for not mentioning that. He was tough.
Out west in Montana those cattle gates are quite common.
@@normbailey2509 - That was a new one on me. I grew up on a farm but we never had anything like that around my area.
I wonder if they gave his leg full military honors.
I think they did that for Stonewall’s arm.
Hmmmm.......not sure.
Union General Dan Sickles (known for his calamitous salient forward at Gettysburg) lost a leg in that battle, and he sent it on tour to museums!!! Talk about an egocentric.... he was also the first to use the "temporary insanity" defense successfully to beat a murder charge when he killed a man who was sleeping with his wife!!!

Awesome as always! I live 10 miles from there and didn’t know it existed. I know what I’m doing this weekend!
Have fun!
Hood was a very hardy soul. He lost an arm at Gettysburg, then a leg at Ringgold, and was in the saddle and leading troops at Kennesaw Mountain. Wow.
I going to guess John Bell Hood was a tough SOB. Thanks for sharing the history...
I would say so. Thanks.

Awesome history as always! Awesome to see how they did those rails.. we know that they did it here on the western front as well during the second word war. Smashing guns around trees and what not. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for a very interesting and informative article on the Civil War ! If you looking the comments one mentioned another soldier losing his leg ! I made a comment about it there that you might like to read ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever or wherever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
Amazing they both ended up in this one house Loved the story behind it you gave us Thankyou for another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I must have missed Hoods leg somehow. If you ever make it to the Wilderness Battlefield for a video make sure you go to Ellwood and give equal tribute to Stonewall Jackson's arm now lol
Yeah, it's not like a trip like that would cost an arm and a leg, right? ;-)
That place is high on my list. Thanks!
Your videos are great!
Glad you like them!
Incredible!
