They did a mask on Lincoln when he first got un office and when he died and compared the two of them. It truly shows a more weathered face at the end of his life. Loved this!!
God bless president Lincoln for abolishing slavery among his other random contributions to American society as we know it today. Really sad how the true greats tend to meet a truly sorrowful demise more often than not.
I agree... same thing will happen with cancel culture.. they will kill careers for some reason or another, then 20 years later deem the offenders as heroes and trailblazers..
I was a cook at the Fairbanks Princess in Fairbanks Alaska. I was putting out a bowl of fresh fruit for our early morning breakfast buffet. I saw Old Rosa Parks getting her breakfast. I approached her and said, Hello Rosa, welcome to Alaska. Rosa with her wonderful smile replied, Why thank you young man!. The next thing I said was Well, I must get back to the kitchen. Rosa and I were the only one's in the dinning room. I never mentioned this to any of my co workers. I have come face to face with other famous people, but meeting Rosa Parks was a novelty of experience. God rest her soul. She was so brave.
Here is another fun tidbit, just before I was a cop for Detroit I worked a short time at the Riverfront Towers where Rosa Parks and the one time mayor of Detroit lived (Coleman Young) as security and once a week Mrs Parks would give me an apple and I had no idea at the time it was her. I just knew her as Mrs Parks.
@@shannonwilliams1941 i never got to have any sit down conversations, but we would have chit chat about maybe the weather or things around the building.
An FYI, Rosa Parks was not the first African American to sit in the white section. It was actually a 15 year old girl by the name of Claudette Colvin, who wouldn't give up her seat to a white person. I don't know why history doesn't recognize the true facts sometimes.
This one is packed full of so many awesome things and historry. Nice touch with putting their glasses in the seat. The Rosa Parks Bus, the Lincoln stuff, the Weinerbus, ans That House were my favorite parts. Awesome video man
This museum is incredible. I was amazed and surprised to see Lincoln's chair. It was interesting to see all of the history so wonderfully preserved and displayed so we'll. That house so futuristic I loved it, especially that dresser. Can't wait to see tomorrow's vlog.
Of course it's Lincoln's blood on the chair. But the man trying to stop Booth was slashed severely and also bled at the scene. BTW, didn't they have guides to answer questions?
I looked it up when I first saw the stains and it says it’s not his blood and it’s not blood at all just oil. I didn’t fully read where the oil came from though.
@@brandonwells5236 From what I was told it is oil from people sitting in the chair over the years. The used to let people sit in it and that is why the stains are on the "head" part on the chair. I'm sure there is some blood there but the most of it is oil from people sitting in it.
No guides. The Henry Ford Museum is self-guided… there are little plaques next to exhibits, and you can get “guides” to explain things at Greenfield Village, as they drive you around in Model-t Fords. Absolutely fascinating place to visit in Dearborn, MI. You can spend weeks exploring everything there!
wow that's an amazing museum. So much and it works on all your emotions. The car Kennedy was killed in. The chair President Lincoln was killed in. Rosa Parks bus. Slave shackles. The first Mustang. Beautiful cars. Such a roller coaster of emotion. I would have never guessed what this place holds. Thank you.
Very moving to see Lincoln's chair like that. I had no idea that existed. I can't believe how much light they have on it. Seems like it would deteriorate it faster.
I went to high school inside of the village and Museum. Every time I went to the restroom I walked past the Kennedy car and the Lincoln chair and the significance never was lost on me. It was an outstanding place to go to school. Very College Prep focused program young teachers. Very well funded. I used to take a special walk into the museum to go see the Stradivarius violin almost everyday, in Lovett hall actually. The Village Campus of Henry Ford Academy can be pretty hard to spot it's in the far back corner near the Lagoon with the paddle boat. When the Rosa Parks bus was first brought back to the museum they brought all of us students out to the parking lot to see the actual bus before it was touched or restored or repainted at all. When it was still really the actual bus. People were crying. Also when the Ford Focus was a prototype vehicle it was brought to the school for us students to come out and give our opinions on its design, and particularly the entertainment system. Which is part of the reason why the Ford Focus has an abnormally nice stereo. Your welcome! Haha
Yes...i am 63 and when i used to go with my grandmother downtown and as the bus made its stops the African Americans were never told to go to the back if the bus...they just knew to! As a child i could not understand whty? As an adult i still dont understand why they did what they did! O may be in the minority but we were all made in Gods image...werent we?
I don't have a photo posted here, however I am a 70 year old white woman.....I do and always have, admired, "Rosa Parks". I hold her . in high honer with much respect...., I greatly admire her, for being brave enough, for standing up for her rights on that Bus....she "payed her bus fair " therefore she rented that seat for the duration of her ride on that bus.......the uncouth man whom boarded the bus after, "Rosa Parks", was clearly not a gentleman , but a jerk,
Rose Tandy, I'm so sorry you had to suffer through the ugly issues, resulting from ignorance and prejudice , I know it was not my fault, in your mistreatment, but someone needs to give you an apology... may the Lord bless and keep you.
I always wondered how one person could think he was better then someone else because of skin colour. Each and everyone of us are important in some way........Peace&Love too all
I had an opportunity to visit the theatre and see the bed he passed away in across the street from the theatre twice in my life. Profound and amazing experience. Everytime I go to Disneyland I make it a point to see Great moments with Mr. Lincoln. Wonderful president. Thank you for a great vlog!!
Spent half my childhood at GFV….my great grandmothers sideboard is somewhere in the indoor museum…..the outdoor museum was always my favorite….one day was never enough time to see it all…..thanks for this walk down memory lane…..
There’s an old game show called I’ve Got a Secret , there’s an episode of it on UA-cam on which a very old man appears and he was a witness of the assassination when he was a little boy.
Great job Jordan! Seeing that chair was amazing, It makes one really think of the whole Lincoln thing in a different reality and really brings me closer of what happened. Thanks man!
Seeing the Lincoln chair really brings emotion and history together. Makes it all so real. Not just words on a page. Thank u for ur part in keeping history alive. Wonderful experience and awesome museum.
I been to that museum, about 6 years ago. On the Rosa Parks bus, we went on the bus and there was tour guide telling us the story of Rosa Parks and how the museum got the bus. The guide told us the bus was auctioned off in the early 70s and a farmer bought it and used it for a tool shed for years. He got offered from other buyers throughout the years he refused the offers wasn't until late 90s the farmer passed away his kids sold it to the museum on eBay for like a 140k for it. Of the course had to do restoration on the bus. It's pretty neat experience to see that peice of history. I was lucky to see all those prices of history. I also liked that huge steam engine local motive from Ohio. Thanks for sharing this.
Did you happen to notice George Washingtons fork? It only had two tines on it! So glad we have four now and can really shovel it in! I have so enjoyed this....right down my alley!! Have you ever been to the Winchester House? Its on my bucket list!!
Angela Hartley we actually address the two tine fork thing at this museum at Daggett Farm House in Greenfield Village. The home is a living history site. When I worked in that building I had to learn how to eat with colonial utensils. At that time period you never at with the fork. It was a tool to hold the food while you cut into it with the knife. You ate off of the non blade side of the knife.
The vlog today was wonderful but sad in the way history affected our lives. I was touched by the picture of Rosa Parks being arrested. She remained strong and forever a lady. To see her calmly back on the bus is a true testimony for who she was at that time in America. Enjoy the rest of your trip, Jordan, and thank you for this vlog.
Incredible! !! The chair where Lincoln shot was heartbreaking. Inside the bus where Rosa Parks made history is amazing. To put yourself in the times these things happened is so incredible . Loved this Jordan. I love touring museums. Much love to you and Jah ❤ ❤
I was born in Detroit and went to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village many times as a boy. The Lincoln death rocker was originally displayed in the Logan County Court House in Greenfield Village in a glass case. It has been subsequently moved to the Henry Ford Museum which has been expanded and improved many times since I was there 60 years ago. Anyone visiting the greater Detroit area should definitely make time to visit these wonderful attractions in nearby Dearborn, Michigan.
, as it appears to be. "There's a large black stain at the back of the chair, which everybody assumes is Lincoln's blood - absolutely not the case." Johnson says they've done some analysis on the stain and have discovered it's hair oil. Some of the other stains are water damage.Apr 15, 2015
Is this the Henry Food museum at Greenfield Village?! Oh my God!! I haven’t been there since I was a kid! I grew up in Detroit and I remember thinking how lucky I was to have lived so close to all this Historical stuff. Especially the Lincoln chair.
I'm so bummed I just saw this! I was just at the Village for the Hallowe'en Walk on the 20th. I am a former museum employee. I worked there for almost 10 years. I actually was there the day they found the Rosa Parks bus & towed into the back of the museum for restoration. After they were finished & putting the bus out for exhibition, Rosa Parks was there for the dedication ceremony. She is buried in Detroit at the same cemetery that they just laid Aretha Franklin to rest with her family. There are also a lot of other Motown legends buried there. There is so much to see at the museum! When I worked there, I would use my 15 min morning & 15 min afternoon breaks just to walk around to find all the really cool little unknown items. I'm sad that they archived the letter from Clyde Barrow that he sent to Henry Ford telling him that he only stole Ford V8's 😂
Janet Carlson as far as I know, they moved it to the archives when they were rearranging the exhibits. The Henry Ford Museum has so many items stored that have never been displayed or had been previously displayed but moved backed to archives. For example, when I started to work there, there had been a whole section of the museum dedicated to old farm equipment. It was usually a ghost town over there. Not a lot of people really wanted to see that stuff. So when they decided to bring a school back to the museum (when Mr. Ford originally built the museum & village it was a public school grades k-12 it operated into the 60's) the farm exhibits were moved to storage. They built classrooms for the grade 9 students in part of that exhibition area. The new school, The Henry Ford Academy, is grades 9-12. Also, when I first started working there the Dymaxion House was in storage except for it's bathroom. They had the bathroom on display. In the late 90's we also had a Motown exhibit that was on loan while the Motown Museum was going through a renovation. I love going to the museum even now that im not an employee because you never have the same experience. There is so much to see. 😊
@@heatherr2665 wow, thanks for answering my question!! You have a lot of great knowledge about that place!! I was born in Detroit in 1959. But we moved to FL. in '71, when I was 12. I never made it to the museum!! Too bad too, cause I absolutely love history now!!
The original story has never been truly discovered no one truly knows I'm sure the government do have it locked up but I'm telling you now the general public to this day do not know if he escaped or not or got burned or shot or what not
Thank you Rosa Parks for your act of defiance in not giving up your bus seat. 😊 Jordan, alot of part 2 was unsettling 😢💔 but what is history if its telling is sanitized? It's an impressive museum and am glad to have had an opportunity to visit with you and your brother!
The Dymaxion House is an amalgamation of the only two houses produced, The museum owns all of the parts that survived and combined them into one house, more or less as it was intended to look though it is not supported by the central mast as it has jack stands ringing the entire structure.
I went to this museum at Dearborn, MI. when I was 10 years old. I was convinced that was Lincoln's blood. But the tour guide told me that someone threw water on the chair and that was water stains. I desperately wanted to call her a liar but Grandma was holding my hand and talking to an adult like that especially in front of Grandma would have got me a knuckle sandwich. But Grandma told that woman off for making that story up.
That's not blood. In the 1970s I was on a tour of the museum and the guide specifically said that those stains were from men's hair pomade from when people were allowed to pay to sit in the chair for photos. They eventually stopped the practice because the greasy stuff had soaked into the satin fabric.
I lived in Dearborn and for several worked for Ford Motor Company from 1967 to 1980. For about a year I lived across the street from The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village for a time. The Museum and Village are wonderful places to explore.
I was amazed by this tour. So much history. It was a bit melancholy , but at the same time so intriguing!! Thank you Jordan! You sure do know how to pick them !!! 😍
That museum was amazing. I need to go to that one, I'm a huge history buff, and I would love to see all that in person. The Lincoln chair was eerie, but interesting to see. I'm with you, those stains were more than wear or hair oils. So much history, I just have to see it all. Great vlog
I wish they'd bring back those kinds of furniture, and not the cheaply made junk we get today! That Air Stream is awesome! BWT, the Dymaxian House was invented by Buckminster Fuller, who's a cousin of mine.
very interesting. The chair, rosa parks bus and exploded model T were very cool. The relics of jim crow, slavery and segregation really put into perspective how far we have come...and yet how far we still have to go. That Dymaxian house looks like something out of Fallout lol.
I would of never thought the chair from Lincoln’s death would of been saved after all these years. The George Washington exhibit is awesome! This is one museum I’m definitely putting on my bucket list. This is another Epic Vlog 🦁❤️!!
Wow loved the round Airstream home, that would be interesting to live in. Thoroughly enjoyed the museum, it must be massive to house all those exhibits. Thanks Jordan, for another informative Vlog
John Wilkes was not burned to death in the Garrett barn. The barn was set ablaze by the Union cavalrymen and he was shot through the neck by Sgt Corbet. Wilkes died on the porch of the Garrett farmhouse several hours later.
Loved how that car was displayed, and what a great spot for those glasses, shameful how fellow humans have behaved towards each other, and not all that long ago.
Very Interesting Vlog.. That Chair, WOW!.. Very Sad … I Would LOVE!! To Live In That House!!!.. So Cute!.. Great Vlog, As Always!!!... Thank You!!!!!.. LOVE!! Seeing Our Precious Jah!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I really enjoy your videos. I too am from Ohio. Born in Akron and lived across the blvd from Akron Fulton Airport and went to Thomastown grade school. So much has changed and I'm really burnt that they sold the Gugenheim to a guy that turned into a halloween mess! Thanks for the travels and keep up the good work! :)
Michigan has much to offer-- -please, Please come back again-- someday my husband and I are going to thank you for all you do in person.... ! safe travels.....
The brown staining is blood and cerebral spinal fluid: chair back, arm rest, seat. And if I recall, it is silk upholstery, ergo the current damage as it breaks down, more rapidly in the higher wear areas.
I seen the Rosa Parks bus at The Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. They have the original Woolworths counter, the Selma bridge, DR Kings Hotel room, a million other items! It was so humbling! You HAVE to check out Memphis!!
I haven’t seen Dearborn or its condition for many years but if it’s anything like what happened in Detroit then that’s a real tragedy. I moved from Detroit in 1962 and no one then could have ever imagined what lay in the future of that once great and mighty city. A city I was proud to have been from. A city my grandfather laid down his life for as Detroit police officer. And today, with all of its burned out and decaying neighborhoods, I love it still.
I can’t believe all of that history is at that one museum! I’m def gonna have to make a trip to Detroit to see that! I LOVE museums! I’ve been to the Smithsonian - I’d say this is right up there with the coolness factor
John Wilkes Booth birth place and family home is literally 10 miles from me. Maintained by the county and opened for tours. No bragging rights here, just some side info. Thanks for vloging on these monumental moments and people in our history.
More of the Ford Museum. What a wonderful, interesting place. Lots of great things to see. I'd live in one of those round air streams too. That was neat. Glad you spent some time with your brother and went around vloging things. Now you're going back to Ohio. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow. Safe travels and see you tomorrow.
Jordan, keep cranking out these great videos and hopefully, like Nomadic Fanatic, there will be a TV show in your future :-) I wish you the best of luck!
John Wilkes Booth did not burn in that barn. The barn was set on fire and, against orders, a soldier shot him through a hole/plank in the barn. Soldiers ran into the fire and brought Booth out of the burning barn. The ball that hit him paralyzed him from the neck down. Right before he died he was able to get the soldiers to pick his arms up so that he could see his hands, said useless, useless and then he died. There was a documentary done on the History channel.
it took Booth a few hours to die, the wound impaired his breathing which led to his death, Davey Herold was in the barn, he surrendered and was later hanged, Booth wouldn't surrender so the barn was set on fire, Boston Corbett was the man who shot him, Corbett later went crazy a few yrs. later and disappeared, the group of soldiers who captured Booth did earn rewards of varying amounts
They did a mask on Lincoln when he first got un office and when he died and compared the two of them. It truly shows a more weathered face at the end of his life. Loved this!!
Oh wow! Did they take pictures? If so do you have a link or something?
Lies again? Adidas Leader
They are called death masks
I'm so thankful for those who are willing to put themselves in danger for progress, knowledge and change!! Bless your heart, Rosa Parks.
God bless president Lincoln for abolishing slavery among his other random contributions to American society as we know it today. Really sad how the true greats tend to meet a truly sorrowful demise more often than not.
I agree... same thing will happen with cancel culture.. they will kill careers for some reason or another, then 20 years later deem the offenders as heroes and trailblazers..

I love going to the museum even now that im not an employee because you never have the same experience. There is so much to see. 😊
@@heatherr2665 wow, thanks for answering my question!! You have a lot of great knowledge about that place!! I was born in Detroit in 1959. But we moved to FL. in '71, when I was 12. I never made it to the museum!! Too bad too, cause I absolutely love history now!!
Thanks for uploading your videos they are time well invested.
A 100,000 reward in that era has to be like 20 million in todays money
I think this is my favorite museum; what incredible historical items they have! Worth a second viewing and more. Thanks, Jordan!
Booth's body did not burn in the barn. He was shot in the neck and dragged out to the porch of the Garrett (?) farmhouse where he died.
The original story has never been truly discovered no one truly knows I'm sure the government do have it locked up but I'm telling you now the general public to this day do not know if he escaped or not or got burned or shot or what not
That place really has some amazing history in there!
Thank you Rosa Parks for your act of defiance in not giving up your bus seat.
😊 Jordan, alot of part 2 was unsettling
😢💔 but what is history if its telling is sanitized? It's an impressive museum and
am glad to have had an opportunity to visit
with you and your brother!
So captivating from beginning to the end! Thank you! Your Vlogs are my DAILY joy!
Love this museum I want to visit it one day who knew a car museum would end up having a lot of history along with it
I am English thank you for taking us to this interesting museum .
The Dymaxion House is an amalgamation of the only two houses produced, The museum owns all of the parts that survived and combined them into one house, more or less as it was intended to look though it is not supported by the central mast as it has jack stands ringing the entire structure.
I went to this museum at Dearborn, MI. when I was 10 years old. I was convinced that was Lincoln's blood. But the tour guide told me that someone threw water on the chair and that was water stains. I desperately wanted to call her a liar but Grandma was holding my hand and talking to an adult like that especially in front of Grandma would have got me a knuckle sandwich. But Grandma told that woman off for making that story up.
You can tell that's a blood stain.
Yes Jimmie at 10 years old you knew way more than the guide who worked there. 😛
@@dru254msquare3 Stains & brains all over that chair.
That was a very cool vlog. I agree with you. I think that is one of the best museums I've seen. Thanks for taking us there.
That's not blood. In the 1970s I was on a tour of the museum and the guide specifically said that those stains were from men's hair pomade from when people were allowed to pay to sit in the chair for photos. They eventually stopped the practice because the greasy stuff had soaked into the satin fabric.
Great vid.
Greetings from Finland!
Never knew those things existed today. The chair and the bus etc...
This museum is pretty cool. Another good one! Thanks for sharing!
What a fabulous museum! Abraham Lincoln's chair was the highlight. Looking forward to the next vlog..thanks, Jordan. Hugs and kissies to Jah.
The fact they made a mask of lincoln out of his actual face is so cool, it would be nice if someone did a 3d scan of it to have a better look at it
I lived in Dearborn and for several worked for Ford Motor Company from 1967 to 1980. For about a year I lived across the street from The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village for a time. The Museum and Village are wonderful places to explore.
I was amazed by this tour. So much history. It was a bit melancholy , but at the same time so intriguing!! Thank you Jordan! You sure do know how to pick them !!! 😍
Very touching this part of the museum was. Thank you, Jordan! ❤
That museum was amazing. I need to go to that one, I'm a huge history buff, and I would love to see all that in person. The Lincoln chair was eerie, but interesting to see. I'm with you, those stains were more than wear or hair oils. So much history, I just have to see it all. Great vlog
You are going to outstanding historical places that people will never get to see on their own. Thank you!!! Peace to you and your family!!!
Thank you! Im glad you are enjoying it
I wish they'd bring back those kinds of furniture, and not the cheaply made junk we get today! That Air Stream is awesome! BWT, the Dymaxian House was invented by Buckminster Fuller, who's a cousin of mine.
That bus I take it is THE bus Rosa Parks rode...epic feeling!
John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor who hated the republican president - hmmm sound famliar?
This is the one blogger where we should keep politics out of the conversation.get my drift?
I never looked at it like that. But thats funny, and true
Very true.
My money is on Robert DeNiro. He's a lunatic.
very interesting. The chair, rosa parks bus and exploded model T were very cool. The relics of jim crow, slavery and segregation really put into perspective how far we have come...and yet how far we still have to go. That Dymaxian house looks like something out of Fallout lol.
I would of never thought the chair from Lincoln’s death would of been saved after all these years. The George Washington exhibit is awesome! This is one museum I’m definitely putting on my bucket list. This is another Epic Vlog 🦁❤️!!
Sondrae' Rabideau. Would YOU have disposed of that chair?
That air stream house was really awesome. You did an excellent job on your vlogs today and yesterday also.
Wow!! That museum is just plain awesome!
11:41 l’v been there in the museum before.
Wow!!! So. Much. History!!! Thanks for taking us on this two days journey! I have to come by and check this place out in the future!
Wow loved the round Airstream home, that would be interesting to live in. Thoroughly enjoyed the museum, it must be massive to house all those exhibits. Thanks Jordan, for another informative Vlog
John Wilkes was not burned to death in the Garrett barn. The barn was set ablaze by the Union cavalrymen and he was shot through the neck by Sgt Corbet. Wilkes died on the porch of the Garrett farmhouse several hours later.
Loved how that car was displayed, and what a great spot for those glasses, shameful how fellow humans have behaved towards each other, and not all that long ago.
Nice. I think this tour of the Henry Ford Museum is my favorite so far. Looking forward for tomorrow's vlog.
I love museums and this one is up there near the top. Wish I could visit it one day. Have a great day!
Very Interesting Vlog.. That Chair, WOW!.. Very Sad … I Would LOVE!! To Live In That House!!!.. So Cute!.. Great Vlog, As Always!!!... Thank You!!!!!.. LOVE!! Seeing Our Precious Jah!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I really enjoy your videos. I too am from Ohio. Born in Akron and lived across the blvd from Akron Fulton Airport and went to Thomastown grade school. So much has changed and I'm really burnt that they sold the Gugenheim to a guy that turned into a halloween mess! Thanks for the travels and keep up the good work! :)
My mom was born and raised in Akron. Still have family there.
Awesome Job Jordan...
That museum..
Man such a jaw dropping place. So much rich history there.. I love it...Can't wait to go see it...
Michigan has much to offer-- -please, Please come back again-- someday my husband and I are going to thank you for all you do in person.... ! safe travels.....
what is so crazy is that I take the bus sometimes and the back of the bus is the first place I find that we go.
If you look closely at Lincoln s chair it looks like an out line of his face from the side view
I love going to the Henry Ford Museum, I go as much as I can Next time go into the Village, it’s GREAT TOO.
And the guy they shot was named John Boyd.
Wow, Jordan, this has been a great museum to see....unbelievable. Thanks for the tour, and sharing.
The brown staining is blood and cerebral spinal fluid: chair back, arm rest, seat. And if I recall, it is silk upholstery, ergo the current damage as it breaks down, more rapidly in the higher wear areas.
that was cool, i like how they combined the civil rights stuff along with other historical things, it’s not just focused on one subject.
Another mind blowing classic vlog! World class museum. Totally live in that slipstream !
Thank you for the touring this museum 😊😊 I enjoyed it💕💕🎶🎶
What an awesome museum, so much wonderful history! That Airstream was absolutely incredible, I would love to have one of those! Thanks, Jordan! ✌️
Another outstanding vlog. Yep, they just keep getting better and better. Thank you, Jordan!
You just keep topping the previous vlogs. So much to see and enjoy. Thanks.
I seen the Rosa Parks bus at The Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. They have the original Woolworths counter, the Selma bridge, DR Kings Hotel room, a million other items! It was so humbling! You HAVE to check out Memphis!!
I ❤️❤️❤️ HISTORY! Thank you so much for these videos Jordan!
I haven’t seen Dearborn or its condition for many years but if it’s anything like what happened in Detroit then that’s a real tragedy. I moved from Detroit in 1962 and no one then could have ever imagined what lay in the future of that once great and mighty city. A city I was proud to have been from. A city my grandfather laid down his life for as Detroit police officer. And today, with all of its burned out and decaying neighborhoods, I love it still.
I can’t believe all of that history is at that one museum! I’m def gonna have to make a trip to Detroit to see that! I LOVE museums! I’ve been to the Smithsonian - I’d say this is right up there with the coolness factor
Jordan you really do justice to all these things thank you so much💕
John Wilkes Booth birth place and family home is literally 10 miles from me. Maintained by the county and opened for tours. No bragging rights here, just some side info. Thanks for vloging on these monumental moments and people in our history.
Another great Vlog champ...
Jordan, you always have the better vids. I love it.
Linkon was a very greetman really he done more for his nation
More of the Ford Museum. What a wonderful, interesting place. Lots of great things to see. I'd live in one of those round air streams too. That was neat. Glad you spent some time with your brother and went around vloging things. Now you're going back to Ohio. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow. Safe travels and see you tomorrow.
Jordan, keep cranking out these great videos and hopefully, like Nomadic Fanatic, there will be a TV show in your future :-) I wish you the best of luck!
John Wilkes Booth did not burn in that barn. The barn was set on fire and, against orders, a soldier shot him through a hole/plank in the barn. Soldiers ran into the fire and brought Booth out of the burning barn. The ball that hit him paralyzed him from the neck down. Right before he died he was able to get the soldiers to pick his arms up so that he could see his hands, said useless, useless and then he died. There was a documentary done on the History channel.
it took Booth a few hours to die, the wound impaired his breathing which led to his death, Davey Herold was in the barn, he surrendered and was later hanged, Booth wouldn't surrender so the barn was set on fire, Boston Corbett was the man who shot him, Corbett later went crazy a few yrs. later and disappeared, the group of soldiers who captured Booth did earn rewards of varying amounts
you got it right!!
