@@victoriaring3846 I’m from Missouri too. I say Missuruh and my kids always roll their eyes. They say Missuree. Lamberts is so yummy. If your ever in the area you should try it.
What a mornin', loud trucks and having your food thrown at you and 3 locations closed because of Covid. You made it work against the odds, enjoyed. You be safe and take care.
Your videos are more informative then history books. You put things in perspective for the lay person on the Civil War and easy to understand. Listening to your narratives I can almost picture what was going on.
Very nice, and quite a bit of historical information in a short period of time. As rail fans of the building of the first Transcontinental RR, wife and I go to sites similar to this. Artifacts are in little-traveled areas of WY, UT, NV, etc., and beg to be explored, and detailed through prior historical research. The ghosts of Grenville Dodge, Thomas Durant, and all the men who build the original RR from 1863-1869, are present...all we have to do is look, listen, and ponder their achievements, back in that era. Thank you!.
When he mentioned that rolls get thrown at you I immediately thought just wait till somebody gets offended only because it's the world we live in today. Sad but true.
I particularly like all the extras they bring by the tables. Fried Okra, fried potatoes with onion.... you can get filled on just the extras they bring around.
Fascinating and a good illustration of how history is all around us without necessarily being obvious. Here in the UK, near my home, is a structure called 'The Queen's Sconce.' You can drive past it without knowing it's there. It's a civil war fort overlooking a strategically important river which helped defend the Royalist stronghold of Newark upon Trent. It's the only survivor of several such forts which were scattered about the area and, although I'll grant you the Mississippi is a tad larger than the Trent, the Sconce is impressive even today some 350plus years after the war for which it was constructed. If you havea moment, Google it and see the perfectly preserved star shape of this monument. As always, love your work, your presentation and your content. Gosh, I could do with a throwed roll!
I’m not going to lie, I just found this content the other day and I’ve watched almost all the videos. This is great. I love the military history of the US and I was born in England and have lived here since 86 when I was 7. Two of my uncles and my grandfather fought in WW2 for the British and I just think it’s awesome what you do. Thank you.
Throwed rolls are great fun. We went to a Lamberts in Gulf Shores, Ala. (Probably was in Foley, Ala) You never leave hungry. I couldn't believe it when when the guy came around throwing rolls. Fortunately I did not drop mine. Great food and fun!!!
Just discovered you today. Can't wait to catch up with your videos! Thanks for sharing your love for history. Sure beats sitting in history classes with no authenticity!
If you get back to Cape Girardeau, go to the restaurant Port Cape in downtown Cape. It's on the riverfront and was Grant's first official office when he came to Missouri. It's about 1.5 miles north of Ft. D. there's a lot of history in the restaurant depicting the Era. The history is also printed on the menu. It's an amazing historical place! Happy travels, stay safe!
I am continuously amazed at the quality of video you put out even in these circumstances. Interesting that you bring up the caves... was just talking with a friend of mine the other day, he has a copy of Hiram Thornton’s diary from his time at Andersonville prison. He noted in there that the prisoners also dug what we now call foxholes to create a bit of shade in the summer and they would huddle 2-3 men in them during the winter to stay warm. When Hiram got home from prison he was a staggering 90 pounds and it took his wife over 7 months to nurse him back to health.... it is quite a story
Some days things just don't go your way, but you made it work, by working around it. Great video, and history. My roll would probably land up side my head, I can't catch that good anymore. LOL
In 1979 while I was in college in Texas, I sat out a semester and went to southern Illinois to work on a pipeline job with my Dad that went from western Indiana...across southern Illinois, we crossed the river at Cape Girardeau and went into Missouri about a mile...it was during the Fall🍁🍂...a beautiful place with lots of history...one of the Lincoln/Douglas debates was at Anna, Illinois...our pipeline project ran right beside an old historic church near Anna...it was said that's where Lincoln went to church when he was there for the debate...
@@TheHistoryUnderground....I was mistaken, the debate was at Jonesboro, Illinois...which is right at Anna....the old church was out in a rural area close to there...
It’s been so rewarding watching you giving to all of us such wonderful under ground history. One of these days I’ll be all caught up in seeing them all. Want to tell you how much I really enjoy all of them, it’s really educated me. ♥️😊👍👍👍
I have watched all of your videos and as a novice historian enjoyed them all. They have been my salvation during the pandemic! I would like to see you visit Gettysburg and Antietam National Battlefields. I think they would be worth your time. Schedule plenty of time as there is a lot to see at both locations.
Lambert's is awesome. Thrown rolls and as much sides as you want. They just walk around with buckets. Well huge pans. But it's amazing If you cross the river into illinois, there is Ft. Massac. It's from the French and Indian wars, I believe. It was built in 1754 I think. It's right on the Ohio River, in Metropolis Illinois.
Right across the river in Murphysboro, IL is the home of General John A. Logan. Was one of the leaders under Ulysses S. Grant and was the brainchild of Memorial Day in America. Many statues and school buildings are named after Logan, including local Community College in Carterville, IL.
My daughter has been to Lamberts! She is a member of our school youth choir and they like to stop there when the go on their yearly choir tour around the nation
Love this one... Always look forward to your vids and when I hear my notification bell "dingggg" I stop what I am doing, sit down and watch it.. and like I always say, thanks for another interesting piece of history..... Have an awesome day...
I went on a cross country trip in 2019 and Missouri was one of my favorite states. WWI museum and Gates BBQ in KC, Hannibal MO. Mark Twain House and Caves. A must visit! Want to go back most of the town was closed due to flooding. Stopped at largest fireworks store in the world. Then ended at Lambert's. Then drove onto Memphis and eventually Nashville before flying back to Seattle.
I truly enjoy watching your videos!! I love history, along with touring the homes of past presidents!! My favorite is Mount Vernon!! I was fortunate to go the Washington's estate!!! Loved every moment!!!
I continued to be not only interested in your history, specially anything Civil war or WW2, but to hear about these different forts around the United States that is NOT in many books, and which I knew noting about, but now do thanks to you and your channel..appreicate it... Looking forward to future videos..BTW Loved the place you ate at that throws you home made rolls, made me hungry, LOL..
Where I live in Texas County, I have heard that the Union Army had their headquarters along Brushy Creek. They also burned 2 of the court houses here as well.
And if not for Nathaniel Lyons the Union Arsenal at St. Louis may well have been seized or destroyed by the CSA. THAT would have changed the course and possibly outcome of the war.
@@jimreilly917 If Confederate forces would have seized the Union Arsenal at Saint Louis, yes, it may have prolonged the war, but I highly doubt that it would have changed the fact the Union would win the war. Civil War historian and writer Shelby Foote jr. noted for his works on the Civil War himself once said that the Confederacy was doomed from the start. Maybe foreign intervention from the British and/or French would have helped secure a Confederate victory, but they did not win indeed fortunately.
@@frenchfan3368 yup..history what is are fascinating. I'm not proud of it but STL was very pro southern during the war. If the Rebs had seized the Arsenal it would have also given them firm control of the Mississippi from STL Zto LA. Interesting to speculate but what is, is.
Thank you for coming to Cape Girardeau and showing our Civil War era fort. I enjoyed watching it, and would love to have shown you some of the Civil War sites from the Battle of Cape Girardeau.
I enjoy your videos very much. When I see a new one has been posted its like the same feeling I get when I find a favorite magazine in the mailbox. Look forward to when you finally go to Gettysburg.
Just a suggestion since you are in the area... Fort Davidson SHS in Pilot Knob, MO. Another Civil War fort... plus an interesting battle with an explosive climax!
We've ate there 3 times and absolutely love it. If you leave there hungry it's your own fault. If you've never been there is a must. There are 3 of them spread across the lower states.
As always outstanding video! I live in Missouri and I think you just supplied me with some one day road trips. You're well spoken and I always enjoy your content...thanks again.
I found you a couple days ago looking at WWII content (my favorite). I HAD to start from the beginning and patiently waiting til you get to the WWII travels. Thank you for teaching us some forgotten history
Only in America never seen rolls thrown at your face before however the food looked great. Sorry Covid had slightly spoiled your day. At least you managed to eat out in the UK our restaurants have sadly been closed since November crazy I know. Thanks however for your slice of American life without getting on a plane however I did have to google Dale Dye.
Hi, I think it was a pretty cool stop you made to film Camp D, it's also nice that more modern works such as the sub division have kept the fort and supplied info on it rather than destroy it to fit in 10 more homes. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
I experienced having rolls throwed at me some years back. It was a memorable event. Lamberts did a fine job of rendering an entire high school soccer team unable to walk for several hours. Highly recommended to anyone that is hungry.
It would be so cool if you did a series on traveling the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road that the Scots-Irish took from Lancaster PA to NC. So many of us are descended from them. Many taverns & cabins from that era (1700s) still exist along with the wagons in the Conestoga Museum.
You connected some dots for me. Ulysses S Grant had a farm outside of St. Louis that ended up becoming the Anheuser-Busch Homestead. Four generations of the Butch family lived there and it was the ground breaking for the Clydesdale as the bush representative of the brand. Age Butch bought that form and it had been to grants farm and his name the grants farm to this day. Thank you for all the information you provide. I love his face. whenever you get back in the Baltimore Washington area, I would love to meet up with you.
A good place to check out is Holly Springs, Mississippi. General Grant stayed there and there are tons of historic houses and places to check out. Rust College built in 1866 is also there. It is one of the first black colleges.
Thanks JD I still have family down near cape. Nice to see Lamberts again it has been several years since I've been in there. I dont miss the weather there though.
I’ve been to Lamberts several times. Amazing place to eat. You picked my favorite meal there. Too bad you didn’t get a cinnamon roll. They are the size of a pie plate. I’ve been a civil war buff since visiting Pea Ridge NMP in my home state of Arkansas in the early 70’s. I live in the Memphis area and I’ve visited what I thought was nearly every civil war site over 25 years, but I missed this one completely. So glad you did a video here. You gave me a reason to make a day trip to visit this site and Lamberts. Would love to see you do a series on some of the civil war sites near Memphis.
Can't believe it...another place that you have visited near where we previously lived. If I remember correctly...this is Lambert's third place in Sikeston.
Ah, MAN! I When I saw the caption with the throwed rolls, I knew it had something to do with Lambert's Café. My family and I used to stop there sometimes when passing through to visit family. Unfortunately, because of health issues I can no longer have gluten, but when I could, those rolls were divine! And yeah, you'll get so full you'll wish they had wheelchair service 😉! Very interesting information on the fort. Bowling with cannonballs! 😆 Very informative as always 👏!
Love all of your videos, you have been to places I'd LOVE to go. However, I'd love to know how in the world you found Cape Girardeau. I was born and raised there and seen Fort D many times. Seems funny to see this video among all your other videos. Thanks for doing this, great views of my hometown.
Columbus Belmont State park is another great place to visit. It was a fortification on the Mississippi River about an hour and a half south of Cape Girardeau in Kentucky.
Im pretty new to this channel and I’m loving these videos. Just like you I love history but as a Brit, I don’t really know too much about the American civil war. These videos are fascinating and have really made me appreciate American history. Great work man.
I had horrible food and service at Lambert's. I stopped there in August 2019 on my way to Memphis. I will have to give them another try next time I go to Memphis.
They were called Forts A, B, and C. Fort A guarded the Mississippi river to the North while B and C guarded the town from land raids to the west of Cape Girardeau, with a barricade between those two forts. Fun fact, the University Hall building of Southeast Missouri State University is built where Fort B existed.

Been going to Lamberts since I was 12 and is a must. Lots of history in the area.
Very much so!
Nothing like having a country style meal with Free Bird playing in the background.
Ha!
I appreciate this, I can't go out of town so I enjoy listening and watching.
Got a lot more on this channel. Glad that you enjoyed it!
I was just at Lamberts. If you leave there hungry it’s your own fault.
When he mentioned that rolls get thrown at you I immediately thought just wait till somebody gets offended only because it's the world we live in today. Sad but true.
@@Mr.Inman14 it’s already happened. Someone said the roll was too hot and tried to get a free pay day.
@@gideoncampbell8335 That blows. It's certainly unique and I certainly never heard of restaurant doing something like that.
I particularly like all the extras they bring by the tables. Fried Okra, fried potatoes with onion.... you can get filled on just the extras they bring around.
I usually leave there needing to loosen my belt. 😛
We live in southern indiana, when my parents were still alive we would load up the car for a day trip great food even better memories.

Missouri was third for the number of battles fought within its borders and the first major land battle of the civil war was also fought here.
Yes, indeed. People rarely talk about the Battle of Carthage, Missouri on July 5, 1861. Even Wikipedia acknowledged its significance and importance.
Where I live in Texas County, I have heard that the Union Army had their headquarters along Brushy Creek. They also burned 2 of the court houses here as well.
And if not for Nathaniel Lyons the Union Arsenal at St. Louis may well have been seized or destroyed by the CSA. THAT would have changed the course and possibly outcome of the war.

You gave me a reason to make a day trip to visit this site and Lamberts. Would love to see you do a series on some of the civil war sites near Memphis.
Can't believe it...another place that you have visited near where we previously lived. If I remember correctly...this is Lambert's third place in Sikeston.
The one in Sikeston, which is technical in Miner, is the original. The building it's in now is a newer one, the original building right down the road
@@VonBlacksList According to their website...the current building is there third location in Sikeston.
Ah, MAN! I When I saw the caption with the throwed rolls, I knew it had something to do with Lambert's Café. My family and I used to stop there sometimes when passing through to visit family. Unfortunately, because of health issues I can no longer have gluten, but when I could, those rolls were divine! And yeah, you'll get so full you'll wish they had wheelchair service 😉! Very interesting information on the fort. Bowling with cannonballs! 😆 Very informative as always 👏!
Ha! Thanks.
Love all of your videos, you have been to places I'd LOVE to go. However, I'd love to know how in the world you found Cape Girardeau. I was born and raised there and seen Fort D many times. Seems funny to see this video among all your other videos. Thanks for doing this, great views of my hometown.
Ha! Just traveling through.
On to the next place JD. Keep em coming
Thanks! Got a few coming up that I'm excited to share.
@@TheHistoryUnderground fantastic. Can’t wait.
Columbus Belmont State park is another great place to visit. It was a fortification on the Mississippi River about an hour and a half south of Cape Girardeau in Kentucky.
I'll put that on the list. Thanks!
I absolutely love Lamberts! Glad,you got to try it!
👍🏻
Getting closer to Fort Davidson! Awesome episode 👏
Funny story. That's one of the 3 places that I mentioned that was closed due to Covid.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Oh no that stinks I didn't realize they closed.
Love Lambert's. We make the trip from Murphysboro/Carbondale, Illinois, to Lambert's at least once a year for a birthday.
Great place!
Another great video! Loved the "bumper sticker". And another place I hope to eat sometime.
Ha! Thanks
We live approximately 1.5 hours from here. LOVE going to Lambert's! There is also one in Springfield MO.
Pretty good improv. Thanks for all the great videos
👍🏻
Im pretty new to this channel and I’m loving these videos. Just like you I love history but as a Brit, I don’t really know too much about the American civil war. These videos are fascinating and have really made me appreciate American history. Great work man.
Thanks! Glad that you’re enjoying it all 🙂
One of me and my wife’s favorite places for food. It’s been close to a decade since we’ve been. I’m jealous.
I had horrible food and service at Lambert's. I stopped there in August 2019 on my way to Memphis. I will have to give them another try next time I go to Memphis.
We have one in Foley, Al. I’ve seen “thrown rolls” smack many unsuspecting victims and it’s funny as Hell!
Were the other Forts A, B, and C?
They were called Forts A, B, and C. Fort A guarded the Mississippi river to the North while B and C guarded the town from land raids to the west of Cape Girardeau, with a barricade between those two forts. Fun fact, the University Hall building of Southeast Missouri State University is built where Fort B existed.
Loved it 👍🏻😎
