Graveyard, B&O RR, Civil War and Stinky Poo Creek: A Walk In The Woods
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Join me as I adventure and explore an old graveyard and an old railroad line that used to be called the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. I talk about the history of the area to include how Stonewall Jackson stole the rolling stock from the RR Company when he probably should have not done that. It was a most enjoyable jaunt.

The maker's mark on the bottom of the cork top , an O and diamond with an I in the center, stands for Owens-Illinois Glass company. The number to the left is the plant number, the one on right the year.Prohibition was repealed in 1933, and bottles made by O-I only had one digit for the for the year in the 1930's, so the bottle was made in 1935.
@SittingMoose Shaman You're REALLY having a difficult time finding a place to peddle your crap, aren't you? Feeling unwanted?
I love trains almost as much as I love to watch chigger! !!!!
I love watching your videos so much I learn something new every time they entertain me very much and inspire me. Every night my mom and i sit down and watch you on the smart TV and we both love your channel. Thank you for the wonderful video's you put out for us
Nice journey ! Thanks for taking us along
That is a good video. Old cemetery in Colorado man's grave stone said "I told you I was sick"
I'm from the UK but I'm really interested in all your videos please keep them coming xx
I have friend in Birmingham where her street is called Roman Way....They find Kingdom relics planting their gardens.
You all have REAL history beneath your feet,just must report what you find incase is rare museum worthy artifact,right? Cheers, Timothy
I love old cemeteries! I always get a laugh . U wont believe what are on some head stones. In the keys is a womans stone that says Told u I was sick. Lol I love walking around them
Must say I enjoyed the history lesson.
From what I understand, he reacted negatively when he found war material in the box cars. That's where the Confederates got sky blue kersey trousers. He was a very astute and skilled military leader. Wars are fought over money. I'm sure that somebody in NYC today would make money betting against the train. Great video!
Robby From TX General Jackson is a fine man,he knew what he was doing
@@sloanchampion85 Accept that destroying railroad profits turned them against the south preventing their own cargo from moving. Kind of a dumb move really.
I'm from GA and proud to be a descendant of some brave soldiers who fought for the CSA at Gettysburg! The south got a lot of its supplies(including rations and munitions, etc.)...by seizing them from the north! I'm glad that Stonewall pilfered and burned those boxcars!
Always wondered why some had sky blue trousers !
I found you by accident, your well worth a watch.
I have watched Ken Burns - The US Civil War many times. I have several friends in America and that terrible war still echoes down the years. Sometimes it's as if it never really ended. We had our own civil war in England but it was nothing like yours. We more or less ended up back where we started from except the monarchy lost absolute power.
They were a weird lot in them days. When Berkeley Castle was finally taken everyone went home for tea. The Roundhead's had breached the walls with cannon. The castle surrendered and as long as the hole in the wall was not repaired the Roundheads were happy. No one was taken prisoner or hanged - nothing. Sort of don't do it again or we will get really really angry.
Brother did fight brother though and at times some pretty horrible things happened on both sides.
Nobody wins in a civil war, or any war really. As an outsider in some ways I feel your civil war was the worst war in history.
jp 'Sort of dont do it again or we will get really really angry' As an American that sounds so British to me I love it. Like a line right out of a Monty Python skit.
I have a revolutionary era burying ground ins my property. I have found one once and notified the town cemetery committee. it was unknown to them. it has since been cleaned up and now is properly maintained. love our old places. some dating to 1600s.
Amazing. You can take a walk thru nothing and make it everything. Subscribed.
Back in the day..... "Hey.....where can we dump all of our garbage and crap"........"ou ou.... I know.....in the stream where we get our drinking water!" ......."Yea.....yea......why didn't I think of that." Nice tour....always fun, informative and riveting.
From the little 4-4-0s and wooden boxcars of the Civil War period to that CW44-6 and that ES40DC pulling 89' autoracks - that right of way has seen some railroad history!
We have tons of those cold storage hills up here in Mass. The civil war era is my favorite part of history. Love every thing about the 1800s. History is a great thing. Something that should be relish to the max!
Yes, please go back, and see what you can find. My husband, & I love going to old cemeteries around where we live.
Great story..I have lived by train tracks my whole life.i dnt care for trains..but the history I love..
Stonewall Jackson is my ancestor! I found out as a child from my great grandma! Love hearing stories about him!
What a fascinating individual. He single handedly could have changed history.
Thanks for taking us along, found it Very Interesting..Love Civil War History etc...
Such a wholesome video. They always are, but this one was particularly nice. After having moved to Louisiana a few years ago I really miss the topography of the more northern parts of the U.S. and the wildlife and such. That hawk in the background in the earlier part of the video made me think of home.
This was far from boring! I love your story telling and adventure hunting. I had you on our big 4K tv so I could get my boyfriend hooked on the Chigg. Sure enough he stopped what he was doing to watch, and really enjoyed it! I can never get him to watch UA-cam.... until now! Hope you go back and keep the stories coming!! Thank you!
Wow that was really a great one Aqyachigger! I’m binge watching and getting bleary eyed!
Aww yeah!!! long videos and CIVIL WAR stuff explained by aquachig! woo!!
Another great video I used to love wandering along railroads myself ,love searching places like that.
Enjoy your videos so much the history you tell.and yes go back
THANK YOU, I'VE ENJOYED YOUR VIDEOS, THEY ARE WELL PRESENTED, YOU ARE A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY DONE THE HOMEWORK. YOUR PRESENTING SKILL IS EXCELLENT, THE ART OF HISTORY IS KEEPING THE INTEREST OF THE 'PUPIL', IN WHICH YOU SURPASS.
the flatted road used to be a rail tracks and the stone wall used to be a loading dock to unload the dead bodies from Ffestiniog railway hearse wagon. we have that in Chicago many years ago...like back in 1930's?
Chicago “L” funeral train cars, a little bit history :)

You have the BEST VIDEOS on yt! This was fascinating and I loved it. So much history to learn about and you're a great teacher! I'm a long time watcher who's still amazed by your vlogs! All the very best to you!
When I was a kid our school took a field trip to a treatment plant...yeah, I don't know who's bright idea that was...but after the tour we had a picnic on the grounds LOL appetizing
Killin' it Chigg!! So my bf and I just bought a house in Marietta, GA and we hear that there was alot of civil war action in the area and we cant wait to metal detect our backyard! Thanks for making all these awesome videos and getting us all excited for treasures! :) :)
Gotta Love Ol Stonewall. ...Ol Bluelight...God bless General Jackson
This is a great video Chigger. I really enjoyed the cemetery. I think that would be an interesting visit. I found an old grown up cemetery near Dyersburg, TN a few years ago with several Civil War veterans buried there. It was in the middle of a small woods near farm land and some tombstones had been run over by tractors. I always wondered about the history behind that place.
I think going back to look for relics magnate fishing/metal detecting near the bridge crossing is a great idea for a future video! Please do.
Love this guy....can listen to him forever!!!
Yes, Lets go magnet fishing!!!
Stonewall Jackson was a brilliant military strategist! All's fair in love and war! If he didn't do what he did you can bet the Yanks would've done sumthin to us first. But I do love all the knowledge you share. I watch your vids everyday. Learn so much! Thanks, Chiggs! Really hope you return there to scope out more and find us an engine!!!
First, war hadnt been declared, secondly, the comment about if he hadnt done it then the Yanks would have done something...is merely supostition and basically justifying the seizure of private property. Fairly typical Southern view point, "We didnt do anything wrong"..... Well, we all know how that worked out for the South.
I'm a newbie to your channel. Discovered quite by chance. I hale from the North but spent many summers in Tennessee at the Grandparents farm. While traveling there we stopped at many Civil War Battlefields. I have a deep respect for those who endeavored from both sides. My Grand Mother told me of a Great GrandFather taken by the Night Riders and never heard from again. I don't share your passion for metal detecting but I do love exploring out of the way places and your appreciation for History. Great stuff!
My mother-in-law 1903 - 1990 lived in Kansas as a small child, father had passed when she was a baby and left mom with 5 kids. they would walk the tracks and pick up coal for their heat and cooking. She also found little dishes from the dining car.
YES, go back to that spot and magnet fish. Groundhog holes too, please. Nice LONG video, loved it.
Yes , love the history, adventure - I wish when watching it again yrs later you could show your 👍🏼 ! Thanks again!
Enjoyed the walk along the tracks and the Cemetary.
I love going in old Graveyard,
I absolutely love every video you put out! So informative! Thank you!
god I love all this history. especially RR history.
Your videos are absolutely the best, highly informative and educational. You sure know your stuff. You are a true treasure hunting professional. Keep up the good work sir.
Aqua just love your videos really interesting cheers from Australia.
Man, your videos bring me so much peace. My home town is actually where Stonewall is buried. I used to love exploring in the woods and graveyards. Now i live in the desert (Which I do enjoy.) but I miss the east coast and all the history. Thanks for bringing a little bit of home back to me!
I worked for CSX for a while as Engineer/Conductor, we would never ever throw stuff at people walking or kick them in the head. lol. That's a great way to become unemployed. Working for a RR is like Germany 1933. You be good or you're gone. I ran Connellsville, Pa to Cumberland, MD. 99% of the time a train crew is not going to report you for just walking along the tracks unless you're clearly doing something really stupid.
I love trains I love watching Them keep cranking those videos out video man out
I sure enjoy your videos....you are great in telling the stories and i love seeing all your adventures....keep it up....I love your sense of humor!! dont ever let anyone change that....Sheri Smith
Our sewer plant during storms gets overwhelmed and overflows untreated sewage straight into the river. This happens a couple times a year. We never mess around in the water below the treatment plant.
Clarence E Butts son of William and Annie L Butts (the smaller headstones are his parents). Clarence married Lucy Vesta (Miller) Butts Jordan (1 Apr 1900 - 6 Jan 1979) on 3 Apr 1926 in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia, as
her first husband. Lucy was born in Morgan County, West Virginia, to Martin Simpson Miller (1869-1942) and Amy E. (Hull) Miller ["Bettie"] (1864-1924).
Clarence was married to Lucy at the time of his death. According to his death certificate, she left him about 10 months before his death and refused to care for him during his illness.
Lucy married William Preston Jordan (10 Jan 1887 - 28 Sept 1947) on 28 Nov 1933 in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia. William was divorced from Laura Lee (Miller) Jordan Wintermoyer (8 Oct 1894 - 5 Apr 1948) at the time of their marriage.

Fascinating! Grateful for the info. I wonder if he married her because he knew he was dying. Maybe she discovered something unspeakable about him. I could speculate endlessly but hey, there must have been some reason she rejected him so soundly. How did you discover that little tidbit?
Very interesting chigg and thanks for sharing GL and HH....Ron
Great video. That is a interesting old cemetery. I would like to see more on this place.
Loved the history lesson. Learned something I didn't know about good ol Stonewall. He did do alot of things very differently for that time in the civil war. Some good an alot bad but like you said that's history. Great video chigg. Thanks for the civil war history lesson. As always safe an happy hunting.😁👍👍
I'm just getting into metal detecting,an live in a town that was basically a Confederate artillery camp.cant wait to get started!
We moved from rural East Tennessee to metro Atlanta 4 years ago. I miss the sound of the trains that ran close to our house.
autoracks and mixed freight! my favorite!
Omg. Bones and teeth? Groundhogs are Brutal! Love how you explain everything.
I love old cemeteries! U can see some amazing stone work and epitaphs
I have to say i like the long informative videos. Please keep it up.
thank you for the awesome videos they are a non toxic way to ease my anxiety. Thanks again chigz and keep up the good work
Fascinating!
We love the trains - especially when they blow that lovely whistle :) All so interesting - thank you :)
Greetings from Oregon AC! Found your channel just yesterday and have been enjoying all your escapades. I looked up Martinsburg, WV and found the area you were exploring near the railroad tracks just south of the Green Hill Cemetery. Too bad about all the junk there but even in my youth (in the mid fifties) in Roseburg, Oregon there was a unattended town dump on the edge of town that was always burning. I remember going with my dad often to dump the trash at this dump and look for treasure/goodies! For a lot of towns it wasn't until the latter part of the nineteenth century before people became more conscious about what they were doing to the environment.
Wonderful video. Really enjoyed the cemetery.
Love your videos and the history you provide.
Great exploring vid and historical information.
If you decide to mag fish make sure you use some waders we don't want any chance of losing ol 'Aquachigger!!
I liked the vermin definitions, LOL! We call them "woodchucks". Looking forward to making a trip down to the Virginias next March. Love the videos.
Thanks Beau! keep em comin'. . LOL on the Hold yer breath!! loved it!!
A 38min video!! Awesome man!
Thanks for the history lesson! Love your channel!
Hey Chig. Love your vids!
That first military grave you see around 9:25 is of S3C Paul Isol Stewart, USN. He died in a transport aircraft crash near Albuquerque, NM with ten other USN personnel.
Looks like three "famous" folk are buried there. Robert Barrat (an actor), George Bowers (a banker/politician) and David Strother (a Union general, artist and author). Over 9,000 souls resting there. Doesn't look that big but many cemeteries seem to be that way.
Don't know if I would stick my hands in there, at least not un-gloved. I love bottles though, so who knows.
Good hunting!
Thanks for the history lesson, Chigg!
Nothing like watching trains. I've loved em since I was little. It's not the smartest idea but I tried seeing how close I could stand by one moving about 55mph. I got to about 5 ft. away. That's when the ground really starts shaking. Took my hat about 30 or 40 ft. down the track lol. Pretty scary but cool.
what a great place .definitely need to come back and enjoy some time there
I have found projectile points on the top of gopher mounds. What I miss about trains is the caboose. Trains just don't seem right without them.
Stories of when caboose were in use would make your eyes get big and round..lol 😮
I live in Delaware county pa.five minutes from Philly airport we have always called them groundhogs .i planted a pear tree in the front yard 10! Years ago and have had one living by the front of my house for like two years living off all the pears on the ground..pretty cool guy.im right on the Delaware river by the lazaratto building surrounded by John Heinz wildlife refuge .get turkey running around the neighborhood
God bless those Southern boys...they are loved
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I've always loved American history but I've never owned a detector. I have found a bunch of Indian pottery in creeks from the creek Indians who inhabited my area in Georgia. Now I'm very interested in metal detecting. Thank you for the awesome videos. You remind me of me as a kid romping around the woods all day on a never ending adventure. Stay young.
Really enjoyed the trip into the woods, thanks for taking us along.
These walk about tours are great chigg. Really liking how youre always full of knowlegde about these areas and the histories. Great perspective great videos. MOAR
what an amazing place I wish our old town wasn't so built on so we could see some of our beautiful history. Love the old cemetery.
Just finished the video. This looks awesome would like to see more like this
I love what you do please keep making your videos
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for your videos buddy....
Definitely need to come back and do some more exploring
The local police(not railroad police) will ticket people crossing, or even being near the CN tracks in the town I'm from. The reason they are even in the area ticketing people is because part of a conservation trail system comes right out onto CN property, and majority of the people aren't even aware they are breaking the law. They normally just give warning though. It mostly happens on high traffic days like holidays in the fall when everyone is out destroying the muddy trails.
I have some family members buried in that cemetery. My great grandfather worked for the B&O, and was killed in a train accident near Terra Alta, WV in 1960.
Aquachigger I work with a Butts who's from Martinsburg too! (I live just over the border, outside of Clear Brook, VA)
Sad the lg trash is thrown in. Yes, magnet fishing sounds interesting, thanks for the History lesson too!
Interesting piece of history, thank you.
The wall is the keep coffins from "migrating" underground and popping out of problem areas in the hill side. Happened once in my home town in Alabama.
There's an old cemetery near me by the river. Its kinda side the state of things eroding and sliding down hill.
Very interesting. I like to go exploring like you do. Great video.
Yes, I'd love to see you go magnet fishing there Beau.
I have watched several of your videos but when you emptied the cat carrier so animals could get out of bad weather I just had to subscribe. I love your historic information.
As a history major, this video is super interesting and i enjoy all of your videos. So cool!
Yes come back with your magnet, who knows what is in there
I went to Stonewall Jackson high school in Manassas VA.. learn something everyday..
