      Well, Halito! Oh yes, I know exactly where both of those towns are. Fortunately, I used to live in Poteau for 3 years, and I liked it there. I have done a video on my channel over the Hall cemetery just about 10 min east of Poteau speaking on Choctaw Chief Moshulutubbee. Check it out! 👍

      Awesome! Funny thing, I've never met Robert, but it sure does feel like I've known him forever, lol! I am so glad you are enjoying some our history on the west side of the Mississippi River. I know in this video, I mention about Robert and his UA-cam Channel. Thank you for watching and I will post more videos soon. Keep a look out!

      @@hizprezhistorydestination2024 My Great Grandparents and my Grandfather and his brothers came from Oklahoma to Canada in the late 1800's. They lived in Norman Oklahoma. I have relatives I've never met from all over Oklahoma. I'm still catching up on your videos, and really do enjoy learning the history and seeing the land.

    Joe, Robert had your video posted on his site. I really enjoyed watching your video and hearing the stories of history that you told. I love learning about the history of America's Native Americans. Someday, if possible, it would be good to get something to put on your microphone to cut out the sound of the wind.

      I appreciate Robert on what he does, I really respect his work of preserving history in his state of Georgia. Yes, I do agree on the mic. maybe I need to upgrade soon. Or go to a site when there isn't as windy, lol! Thank you again for watching.
