Thank you for remembering the CSA soldiers. My husband's great grandfather is buried at Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, VA, in the NC line. He was one who died of disease, typhoid, 4 months after enlisting.
There is a lot of history in Linwood Cemetery. It is shameful that some people will throw their trash down anywhere, they have no respect for their self or others. Thank you for what you do.
Hello other robert and friend it's good you remember the confederate soldiers and sailors on memorial day may they rest in peace 🙏 🕊 and God bless them 🙏 all keep well Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Yes, Mam; You are correct. All the iron crosses were awarded to the Confederate Vet by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It is a Historical Organization of Lady descendants of Confederate Veterans. We remember our ancestors that fought for the Confederacy during the War Between the States. Each Southern Cross is identified by the soldier's application # when awarded. The Southern Motto; Dio Vin Dicee= means "God will vindicate". God bless yall for doing this video and giving these wonderful men our respect.
Thank you Other Robert for this magnificent cemetery. Couldn’t get over at how many soldiers who were laid to rest. It was very impressive. Enjoyed this video very much. May they all rest in peace. ♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟
Patrick you do understand the colonists who rebelled against the crown were traitors who would be hung if captured. You are showing your severe lack of intelligence on the matters of history.
@@DD-th2bd your answer to patrick is perfect! Imagine being as miserable as he is, because he probably searches youtube day and night for videos in order to leave hate comments. What a small life he must have!
Wow! Thanks for filming that cemetery. It's always so respectful when you read the names on the headstones. May all those soldiers and families rest in peace
Robert T Spearman, died about age 27, a lawyer. He was 26 in the 1860 census; his wife, Martha E Baldwin, was 17. They married March 18, 1859 in Terrel County, GA. He left a son, Robert B. Spearman. RT was with Company H, 15 Georgia Infantry.
Thank you for honoring the vetrans of both sides i live in Rock Island Illinois and there is a national cemetery that has confederate and union sections and the high school band would remember the 1,964 southeren soldiers buried there in their own section every memorial day and your channel makes me remember those troops and songs every year since. i truley enjoy your channel
::::::SALUTE:::::: to all Military members who are buried there, we thank you for your service. Rest in peace knowing you will not be forgotten. Deo vindice.
Thanks you Mr & Mrs Other Robert for taking us on this journey. Always learn something watching your videos. I so respect those willing to give their lives to protect their families.
Thank you for a wonderful tour The Other Robert and Mrs. So many CSA Soldiers and generations of markers. Although their ending, it makes one think about their beginnings and life stories. Another world, unknown to us. I wonder if the Byrds and Baldwins are related to those in Waverly Hall? It was good to see you, The Other Robert. ❣️❣️👍👍 I have both CSA and Union Soldiers in my family. ❣️❣️
Yes, we tend to our family cemeteries. The lawn mowers ride over slabs, they cracked the corner of my dad's granite slab. So very frustrating! They have cracked many slabs by mowers on top of slabs. How can people be so disrespectful!!😡
My grandparents are buried in a modern day cemetery here in Los Angeles. The driven lawnmowers have been going right over the ground head stones and scraping off the raised lettering. You can barely read the names anymore. Sad that the cemetary allows this for the sake of a manicured lawn.
My 3rd Great grandfather Hilliard Reid Carmichael was commissioned an Ensign in the CSA May 25, 1861 in the McAfee Guards, Cherokee County, Georgia Militia, P.O. Woodstock.and later commissioned a 1st Lt. in 890th District Company of Cherokee County, Battalion Georgia Militia Oct 26, 1861. When he first signed up his was with the McAfee Guards. The Guards were I think mainly found around the beginning of the war - like a state militia. He died Dec 14, 1861 of Typhoid Fever. My family of Fincher's and Carmichael's who served were from the Dalton, Rome, Woodstock areas of Georgia. This was a very interesting cemetery thank you very much for sharing. He died of Typhoid Fever.
I live in the Northeast, I wasn't from here originally, however over the years it always facsinated me that in darn near every old village or town there are civil war merorial statues. The history is amazing, the old village cemetery where I live is an amazing collection of aged graves. The iron work fences are amazing works of craftsmanship, unfortunately many have had to be removed from the family plots due to erosion and age causing them to be a hazard to the public and maintenance crew that keep up the grounds. Many stones lay in ruin as well but are the victims of the seasons as opposed to vandals, which many of the new residents feel was the cause having had to explain the real reason to them.
Thank you for another wonderful video. I’m grateful for these videos so I can virtually visit a beautiful cemetery like this. I appreciate paying respect to the Confederate soldiers, separate from the causes of the war. They did the fighting and dying and should be shown the respect they deserve! Thank you!!
robert you always give such a good story and you best feature is you don't mind getting a little dirt on your hands cause you want to know yourself what the date or inscription is on the head stone, your the bomb, I so enjoy you doing these videos, please keep up the good job.....
I am from the Kansas City area n Missouri, born & raised. I have a 13 y/o son that since he was a small boy has always talked about becoming a marine when he grows up. The town we live n now n NorthCentral Missouri white man is a minority. However, I did NOT raise my children to see color & they don't ❤ Now w/that being said, last Saturday evening my son went out to stay the night w/my mother n law (his Grandma) & on his phone he had a picture he used as his screen saver of the confederate flag on the left & the American flag on the right. His Grandma seen the picture & proceeded to backhand my son n his face🤬 & told him to delete the picture bc having a picture of the confederate flag on his phone means that he supports the war & slavery. My son told her "No it doesn't & My Mom sent me this picture. It also has the American flag & her response was "Yes! It does! Now delete the picture & obviously ur Mother is ignorant for sending u the picture n the first place" 🤬 She then yanked the phone out of his hand as he began to call me to come pick him up then she ran into the house so he chased her & got his phone back & took off down the blacktop walking back to town. He then called me & I drove like a bat outta hell to get to him. It took every fiber of my being to not drive up her driveway & walk up to her & rare back & w/all my strength backhand her n HER face & tell her to pick on someone her own size. Educate herself on the civil war. (Slavery was violence & degrading...what was she showing my 13 y/o son....violence & degrading him) To keep her hands off my children & not everybody believes her beliefs nor can u make them. I told my son, u want to become a soldier...thats the most honorable thing u can do is to give ur life for ur country son. To show compassion & respect & honor to all soldiers of all wars. That have lived & died. THAT is a good man. I had him read out loud just what the confederate flag stood for (The pride of the South) & to send that to his grandmas phone. That it doesn NOT say "I support slavery" but that u support all soldiers & have nothing but respect for them. ❤❤❤
I am a Yankee by heritage - a person cannot escape that. Let me say that there is no reason to disrespect the dead who died in battle, whatever the side. May those alive discuss their differences in peace.
Thank you and your wife for the cemetery tour today. Sad about the damaged memorial stones. Supervision should be shown this. See you on the next Robert. ❤❤😮😮
Thank you Robert & Mrs Robert. I didn't know they had a memorial day fot the confederate soldiers in April. I used to vist some of the Union gravesvwhen we were still Yankees in the north. Doesn't matter which side, those young men served bravely and with honor..My husbands gg grand father was a Sgt in from Illinois. He was one of the fortunate ones that served and went home to get married and have a family. His name is Abel Johnson Bradley You vide's keep getting better and better!
Memorial Day originated in the South, aw traditional Decoration Day. It was a day of cleaning, manicuring and decorating loved ones graves, and their families picnicking at the graves. This was long, long, long before the "Civil War". Decoration Day became Memorial Day towards the end of the "Civil War " --( I do not usually refer to it as this) .
The government-issued CSA gravestones of the known dead (c.1906-1930) were marble and pointed on top but did not have a Confederate Cross of Honor. The cross was added in 1930. The dimensions were 4" thick, 39" tall and 12" wide. From 1941 to 1947 they were granite. The unknown dead markers were 6" square and 30" long made of marble or other stone. After 1903, the unknown dead received the same stone as the known dead. Flat markers were adopted in 1939.
Very interesting, and it's very nice that you paid tribute to all those who served. We have a cemetery here in NJ that has many Confederate graves in it. It's called Finns Point National Cemetery, and it's in Salem County.
More than forty years after the end of the Civil War, permanent, uniform markers were authorized for the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in national cemeteries. In accordance with an act of March 9, 1906, Congress adopted the same size and material for Confederate headstones as for Union deceased but altered the design to omit the shield and give the stones a pointed rather than rounded top. In 1929 the authorization was extended to graves in private cemeteries. On May 26, 1930, the War Department implemented regulations for Confederate headstones that also authorized the inscription of the Confederate Cross of Honor in a small circle on the front face of the stone above the standard inscription of the soldier's name, rank, company, and regiment. Researchers looking for burial locations of Confederate ancestors should check the Register of Confederate Soldiers, Sailors, and Citizens Who Died in Federal Prisons and Military Hospitals in the North, 1861-1865 (National Archives Microfilm Publication M918, 1 roll). Completed in 1912, the register shows the location and number of the known grave of each deceased Confederate soldier and sailor and was compiled to assist the effort to mark Confederate graves. Arranged alphabetically by the name of the prison camp or other location where the death occurred, the burial lists generally offer an individual's name, rank, company, regiment or vessel, date of death, and number and location of grave. Some entries do not provide complete information, and many others show other idiosyncrasies. Researchers may consult the microfilmed records in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.,
Awesome video. I did not grow up in the south but have many family roots there. My great-great-great grandfather was from Kentucky. But by the grace of God, he got the itch to go west on a wagon train several years before the Civil War happened, and stayed out west for the rest of his life. Had he not made this decision, I might not be here typing this today. I have no doubt there were other ancestors who were not so lucky. Thank you for remembering these people ❤⭐
The design varied in that the top was pointed instead of rounded and the shield was omitted. Apocryphally, it has been said that the pointed top was adopted to prevent "Yankees" from sitting on Confederate headstones. This is what I found about the pointed top stone
The pointed CSA, were not authorized by the government till 40 years after the civil war. The thin round top ones were more than likely not government markers.
This one is rare for the CSA getting the Medal of Honor - Brantley, Thomas J.--Musician May 11, 1861. Killed while carrying regimental colors at Murfreesboro, Tenn. Dec. 31, 1862.
Hey Robert or should I say hey the other Robert I just popped in here to tell you that on that Baldwin monument the mark maybe a maker's mark I have no idea but I've seen it before and other things just an FYI for you .?
Other Robert and Mrs. Other Robert (aka my good friends!!): Too bad you can't hear me talking to you, lol. I am giving you all the history answers! So disappointed my health is keeping me from joining you. But, as always, stay in touch and let me know if I can help. One hint I just started using - After looking at the cemetery at our property all my life, I realized that 2 graves were death dates of Civil War Battle dates. According to Daniel Bellware, there was an "industry" that families used to locate and bring back their dead for burial. Bishop Candler (Emory President) used various sources to bring his father-in-law home (one of our family members); it took him into the early 1900's to do that, and the soldier is now buried in LaGrange. So, I have found if you google the dates, you may find out tons of info on the soldiers, their units, their families, etc. I have been searching now for over 10 years for the grave of my GG Grandfather, Issac Eason. I have some leads, know he died in a hospital in Tullahoma, TN, after wounded in battle, but those records are not digitalized, so no journey for me as of yet. Enjoying all you are doing! Happy that Mrs. Other Robert is joining you!!! Miss you both!! Fran Hall
I've seen people wipe shaving cream over gravestones, when you wipe it off, the indented words stand out and make them easy to read. I don't know if that causes any harm.
such a devastating thing the Civil War. A war where technology met for the first time tactics unable to understand the level of devastation modernized weapons could reap upon the body of the person in front of the shot. I recall another UA-camr talking about the Civil War and identification issues. Being there were no Dog Tags back then. In many cases the victims of this war were cut down where they stood by lead shot and cannon fire. The victims were emulsified puddles of goo and shredded cloth. so when I see "UNKNOWN" written upon their stone, many were so obliterated by the horrific injuries they received. Nobody could identify what they were cleaning up off of the fields of battle. Rest in Peace these men. Let it be known, that you were found and cared for, even in death.
They did cut that flag pole down. They removed all of the Confederate flags from the cemetery a year or so ago. You know, because they are so offensive. Makes me so angry. Removed something that was placed in honor of the soldiers because it offended some ignorant person that obviously have no clue to what it even stood for.
In Germany, they dont honor the Nazi who also died for what they believed in. The confederates were traitors to the Union. Period. I come from long line of traitors and Im not proud of it. It's very ignorant and uneducated to say a person of color offended by the flag is ignorant. Why did you have to turn this historical video political? Now you are offensive to me.
Back in 1866, Headley finished his history of the Civil War called “The Great Rebellion” - the first part he published in 1863. Do you know what he called it in 1863? A Civil War.
@@AdventuresIntoHistory I grew up in Marion s.c...my grand parents called it war of Lincoln's aggression. I still call it that as do most of us southern reenactors.
That is why we cover all aspects of Southern history - from the long abandoned graves of the enslaved deep in what is now woods to graves such as these. That said, with the conscription of 1862 and many other variables, I think it’s still not so much an admiration but a viewpoint of the human element who were sent off to fight. Like many, the Civil War was a war for the rich fought by the poor who had little choice in the matter themselves at the front lines…
There was another reply to this comment - but I cannot see it now. Anyway, my reply to @an-tm3250 is “read the articles of succession” it’s pretty clear. 🤨
The war was not all about slavery it was about taxation on the southern states to build the big cities of the north only 3.3% of southerners were slave owners so the civil was was more than was taught in our beloved educational system
Linwood Cemetery in Columbus, Georgia is full of history. Other Robert also visits the Parrott Cemetery and Dawson Cemetery on this video. Interesting finds for sure. A few soldiers who apparently were KIA in the Dawson Cemetery, too.

Thankyou for showing these CSA graves they deserve respect RIP.
Thank you for remembering the CSA soldiers. My husband's great grandfather is buried at Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, VA, in the NC line. He was one who died of disease, typhoid, 4 months after enlisting.

Thank you for the history tour. I was actually able to find a relative in the video! Thank you for helping solve the mystery of where she was buried.
Thank you for this! As a southerner I am grateful to see this cemetery. RIP CSA
Give it a rest these people were traitors and they will always be remembered as traitors!🇺🇸

The town we live n now n NorthCentral Missouri white man is a minority. However, I did NOT raise my children to see color & they don't ❤
Now w/that being said, last Saturday evening my son went out to stay the night w/my mother n law (his Grandma) & on his phone he had a picture he used as his screen saver of the confederate flag on the left & the American flag on the right.

Incredible place. Thank you so much for taking us here.
Thank you for this...the hallowed dead must be remembered and respected.
The government-issued CSA gravestones of the known dead (c.1906-1930) were marble and pointed on top but did not have a Confederate Cross of Honor. The cross was added in 1930. The dimensions were 4" thick, 39" tall and 12" wide. From 1941 to 1947 they were granite. The unknown dead markers were 6" square and 30" long made of marble or other stone. After 1903, the unknown dead received the same stone as the known dead. Flat markers were adopted in 1939.
Please keep us up to date on this one and come back
'So glad to hear you and your 'shaddow' female commentator on all things Georgia!!!
The Headstone that you wondered about is Tennessee Mounted Infantry, meaning they had foot soldiers and Calvary combined, from my understanding.
Very interesting, and it's very nice that you paid tribute to all those who served. We have a cemetery here in NJ that has many Confederate graves in it. It's called Finns Point National Cemetery, and it's in Salem County.

This is what I found about the pointed top stone
I've heard the same thing about the pointed top, Greg.
Wow, powerful.
Rest In Peace soldiers
Mr and Mrs Other Robert Wonderful job.
I think you and your wife make a good team. God bless.
I love Seen cemeteries of the competitors soldiers. Always have always will support the Confederate soldiers just saying
The pointed CSA, were not authorized by the government till 40 years after the civil war. The thin round top ones were more than likely not government markers.
CAPT. R.T. Spearman more than likely died at the first Battle of Bull Run.
Thanks guys for the video.
Godspeed! I know it’s way not feasible, but it would be great to be able to genetic genealogy to find out who the Unknowns were.
This one is rare for the CSA getting the Medal of Honor - Brantley, Thomas J.--Musician May 11, 1861. Killed while carrying regimental colors at Murfreesboro, Tenn. Dec. 31, 1862.
The one thing worse than a lawnmower is a herd of cattle allowed by the surrounding landowner to graze the cemetery.
THIS!
@@AdventuresIntoHistory the landowner will allow access. She has said that if we want to visit our family, move them.
🙏🏻the music in beginning quite stirring
Hey Robert or should I say hey the other Robert I just popped in here to tell you that on that Baldwin monument the mark maybe a maker's mark I have no idea but I've seen it before and other things just an FYI for you .?
If I'm not mistaken it was originally called Decoration day...They decorated the graves in honor of the fallen both north and south..
Deo Vindici was the CSA Motto and is Latin Deo (with God) Vindice (as our defender/protector); OR "Under God as our Vindicator".
Thanks!
Just an FYI: your eBay shop link is broken and when I clicked on it, it says this user could not be found. You outta fix that.
Weird. I’ll fix it.
Other Robert and Mrs. Other Robert (aka my good friends!!): Too bad you can't hear me talking to you, lol. I am giving you all the history answers! So disappointed my health is keeping me from joining you. But, as always, stay in touch and let me know if I can help.
One hint I just started using - After looking at the cemetery at our property all my life, I realized that 2 graves were death dates of Civil War Battle dates. According to Daniel Bellware, there was an "industry" that families used to locate and bring back their dead for burial. Bishop Candler (Emory President) used various sources to bring his father-in-law home (one of our family members); it took him into the early 1900's to do that, and the soldier is now buried in LaGrange. So, I have found if you google the dates, you may find out tons of info on the soldiers, their units, their families, etc. I have been searching now for over 10 years for the grave of my GG Grandfather, Issac Eason. I have some leads, know he died in a hospital in Tullahoma, TN, after wounded in battle, but those records are not digitalized, so no journey for me as of yet.
Enjoying all you are doing! Happy that Mrs. Other Robert is joining you!!! Miss you both!!

Thanks Fran .
I've seen people wipe shaving cream over gravestones, when you wipe it off, the indented words stand out and make them easy to read. I don't know if that causes any harm.
It does. Nothing is to be used on stones except light.
CSA stands for Confederate States of America
the boys in gray are my heroes
I am pretty sure that the "MTD" infantry means mounted infantry.
such a devastating thing the Civil War. A war where technology met for the first time tactics unable to understand the level of devastation modernized weapons could reap upon the body of the person in front of the shot.
I recall another UA-camr talking about the Civil War and identification issues. Being there were no Dog Tags back then. In many cases the victims of this war were cut down where they stood by lead shot and cannon fire. The victims were emulsified puddles of goo and shredded cloth.
so when I see "UNKNOWN" written upon their stone, many were so obliterated by the horrific injuries they received. Nobody could identify what they were cleaning up off of the fields of battle.
Rest in Peace these men. Let it be known, that you were found and cared for, even in death.
Hi Robert ☺️
The lady that is with you
Is She your wife😮
The one tabletop tombstone🤔🤨🙄😒😏 someone cut with a battery powered stone saw no who in the sam hill does that?
Where did memorial day start?
Poor soldiers and slaves
Deo Vindice was the motto of the CSA . Means God is our protector.
At all costs don’t tell the other Robert 😂
🤣🤣🤣
They did cut that flag pole down. They removed all of the Confederate flags from the cemetery a year or so ago. You know, because they are so offensive. Makes me so angry. Removed something that was placed in honor of the soldiers because it offended some ignorant person that obviously have no clue to what it even stood for.
In Germany, they dont honor the Nazi who also died for what they believed in. The confederates were traitors to the Union. Period. I come from long line of traitors and Im not proud of it. It's very ignorant and uneducated to say a person of color offended by the flag is ignorant. Why did you have to turn this historical video political? Now you are offensive to me.
So true.@stevemathew5281
Please see if you find any yorks
General John A. Logan started Memorial Day.

WASNT A CIVIL WAR!
Back in 1866, Headley finished his history of the Civil War called “The Great Rebellion” - the first part he published in 1863. Do you know what he called it in 1863? A Civil War.
@@AdventuresIntoHistory I grew up in Marion s.c...my grand parents called it war of Lincoln's aggression.
I still call it that as do most of us southern reenactors.
It's hard to admire those that fought to preserve slavery. You know what I mean?
It was over tariffs & money, as all wars are. European banskters manipulated events, as they do today. Wake up, please.
That is why we cover all aspects of Southern history - from the long abandoned graves of the enslaved deep in what is now woods to graves such as these. That said, with the conscription of 1862 and many other variables, I think it’s still not so much an admiration but a viewpoint of the human element who were sent off to fight. Like many, the Civil War was a war for the rich fought by the poor who had little choice in the matter themselves at the front lines…
There was another reply to this comment - but I cannot see it now. Anyway, my reply to @an-tm3250 is “read the articles of succession” it’s pretty clear. 🤨
The war was not all about slavery it was about taxation on the southern states to build the big cities of the north only 3.3% of southerners were slave owners so the civil was was more than was taught in our beloved educational system
I heard it was for state's rights and the so called right to own slaves was one of the issues.
