Thank you Mr Skinner for bringing these great stories of the history of our country. Appears that before long there won't be any history books and everything you presented today will be lost with the exception of ones of us who have heard your words. A story I saw today is that students at Yale University want to "repeal" our US Constitution. Sad days ahead.

Good to hear that sweet soothing voice again Jerry. I haven't seen a video of yours yet, that I didn't like. All you do, seems it comes from the heart, with magnificent historical knowledge. Thank you so much.
Amazing documentary. I’ve lived around the natchez trace most of my life but never have I heard such an amazing explanation as you’ve provided. Thank you sir for educating myself and others about the Natchez Trace.
Thank you, Mr. Skinner,for another outstanding documentary. Your meticulous attention to detail is ever present and a hallmark of your videos. I can understand why you were so successful as a PI.
Thanks again Mr. Skinner, in a world gone what seems at time to be crazy, I can find a sense of peace and tranquility in your voice presenting these great videos.
Louis Leflore was my 5th great-grandfather through his son Benjamin. Our family is very knowledgeable about our history, so I'm glad you're sharing this knowledge. We come from the last of the Chakchiuma Tribe who was massacred by DeSoto. Our surviving grandmother Shumaka was forced to join the Choctaws. So although we presently identify with the Choctaw nation, we were originally the Chakchiumas (Red Crawfish) of Mississippi.
I discovered this channel yesterday and haven't done much but watch your videos. Again, other than knowing the Trace was where Lewis died, I knew nothing about it. Love the wide range of topics covering bios and history lessons. Such a treat. Thanks!
Outstanding ! I used to own land that had actual old ruts from wagon travel on the trace. Was at Shady Grove ,Tn., near "She Boss" rd. Great to hear such factual history.
Brings back memories. I started from the South and traveled the Trace to it's end in the North via motorcycle. A tornado had been through there a couple of weeks prior to my trip and a section of it was closed as the road was still impassable. I asked a woman about the tornado while I was paying for gas. She started to cry as her mom had just died from the tornado. I felt terrible and made it a point not to ask anyone about a disaster anywhere in the vicinity of said disaster. To close to home for such questions. I did have a great time riding this road. Very scenic. I stopped at the Lewis site as well. Did not know I about it prior to the trip. I also saw some Indian mounds where they bury their dead.
I am so glad you created this.One of my great grandmothers was a Choctaw woman and my other great grandmother married a Cherokee man both happened during the time of Jacksons Indian removal act.So you just taught me more of my own ancestral history.
I grew up in Nashville not too far from Natchez Trace. My grandmother grew in Nashville and was a history buff so I was familiar with some of this history, but I learned so much more. I'm not sure how your video came up in my suggestions, but I'm so glad. It was going back in time to my childhood and brought back good memories of my grandmother who was my special person in life.
Thank you for putting this wonderful video together Mr Skinner. It's so informative, and I appreciate how empathetic it is to everyone involved in the history.
Thank you Jerry for another most interesting history lesson. I did watch your documentary on Meriweather Lewis,. So very interesting, you made my weekend again. I’m going to watch this one again right now. Thank you Jerry, please keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase, Winter Springs, Florida.🤠
Growing up in Hobo Station, Graduating from New Site High School, and having drove The Trace, almost daily before I left home, I have always been captivated by this history, lore, and mystery. I hope one day this summer I can drive my horses down from our ranch in E. Washington State, and ride the old trace from Natchez to Nashville
Was on vacation with my mom and dad back in the 80’s my dad always wanted to go on the Natchez Trace my dad started to get sleepy so he pulled over was in the top bunk looked out the window saw what I thought looked like a ghost I quietly closed the curtain I fell asleep and had a beautiful dream about blue moccasins it was peaceful dream THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !
Ive been away from the internet for a while. But I'm back and catching up on your channel. I love the history that you present with your awesome voice ! Thank you for all the research, etc you do. Excellent channel this.
Mr. Skinner...This was an amazing and well-produced documentary ! I do believe you have one of the best channels on utube ! Your research is impeccable and flawless. Thanks for sharing and taking me along.... :)
Thank you for this. I live in Nashville and have been on the Trace many times. I love that there is a slow speed limit and trucks aren’t allowed. Also, that you can pull over and walk the actual trace at times. It’s magical there🤗🐝❤️
I’m glad to see this nicely done video. Of course his narration is primarily on stories that thread the Trace in early U.S. history because early U.S. history is why we watch Mr. Skinner documentaries. There is much more to know about the Trace. Even the construction of the “modern” parkway (1930s) is now an interesting bit of history. There are numerous picnic stops along the parkway that also provide opportunities to learn about the terrain, vegetation, and wildlife of the region. Commercial vehicles are not permitted on the parkway so all traffic is cars, RVs, motorcycles, and bicycles. Although the parkway doesn’t provide separate bicycle lanes it is a popular bicycle touring route. There are even camping areas for bicyclists only. Cycling the full length of the Trace has been on my to-do list for many years. This vid has stirred me to move it near the top of the list.
Wow this was so cool. Very well done video and such a beautiful drive in a beautiful part of the US. You can certainly see the pride they take in keeping their roadways so beautiful! I live in Laurel County Ky. Pride is a thing of the past. Unless you live In downtown London, which is very gorgeous!!! The backroads are so filled with garbage it's unreal. Seems Noone cares anymore. Very sad. Anyway thanks for this great video and awesome scenery!!
wow.. really very good. I've always heard of the Natchez Trace but knew very little about it. this video had a lot of good detail and stories as well as great video. you really did a top notch job. Thanks
Drove the entire trace to natchez many years ago for girls weekend there...happened to fall on the spring home festival...toured many old natchez homes...WHAT A TREAT! LOVE the Natchez Trace! Thanks for the history lesson!
Hi Mr Skinner, love your videos, they are entertaining and informative and I just love your voice, you're a lovely and wonderful story teller of all True events.. I Thank you very much Sir, I appreciate your videos.. p.s I want to say a big Hello from Dublin, Ireland. 🇮🇪🍀🍀🇮🇪... 😊
Another great video man there back in the late 90s as a volunteer with the National Park Service you touched on something that I noticed about it as well all of the cemeteries along the way is its own story.
My ex-in laws had 200 acres in Hohenwald Tennessee that backed up to the Natchez Trace. Meriwether Lewis’s death site was 5 miles from their home. Big Swan Creek flooded during 2 week long rain and 75 of their acres was under water. After the water receded, I found arrow heads everywhere.
Thanks Jerry for another wonderful presentation. Really enjoy them. I rode the Trace on motorcycle from Virginia back in 2002. Spectacular scenery and amazing points of interest. Didn’t know the complete history of course. This now broadens my knowledge and one day would like to go back by car with more time and stop more often. I hope monuments such as these aren’t taken down by the far left wing socialist and progressive liberals like many of the other historical monuments dedicated to the history of our once past great country. MAGA!
Jerry, your work is phenomenal!!! I always say you're better than those on tv. Your voice in very calming. I sometimes binge on your videos. Thank you so much for all you do!!! We love you!!! Abundant BLESSINGS to you, your household and loved ones!!! 💝💝💝
Dear Jerry, thank you for another OUTSTANDING recount of things forgotten. You do a GREAT JOB! I really enjoy the no nonsense, factual, well thought out and presented information you take the time and talent to produce and share. THANK YOU!!
Always thrilled to Hear your voice!!! It’s beautiful!! Ever get up to Pennsylvania- Buck Co you’re welcome will have that cup Of coffee I owe you. We have so much history starting with the Washington crossing the Delaware to Pearl Buck. Would love to hear your take on those. I could send you the video you need. Best wishes in all your endeavors
Real good one, Jerry. I really enjoy all your informative documentaries and short docs very much. You give so much historical background and I love the visuals. Your narration is enjoyable to listen to. I hope you keep making many more!
Perfect video Jerry. Thx. My wife and I drove the trace last year over three days and stopped at all the sites. Very fun and informative of early America.
While staying in Port Gibson for few weeks a coworker and I drove down to Natchez, Miss. we hit all the stops on the way down. What a wonderful experience that was and unknown history for to fellas who grew up out West. It’s also been said that Natchez was the richest city in America at one time. There was that much traffic. Enjoyed your story.
I live right across the river from Natchez on the Louisiana side. The Trace is so awesome! So many stops to see along the way. Like I always say.....Nobody tells a story like Mr Skinner ❤
Thank you once again Mr. Skinner loved the "ride in your car" beautiful road I can just imagine going back in time. The only thing that is bothersome is that bad humans that have inhabited the earth for eons. Interesting story. Awaiting for your next project stay safe. Greetings from Texas.
Amazing video!. Im in California, born n raised but am 1/4 Chickasaw & 1/4 Choctaw descended from tribal Chief's from that era & later eras!.... Education of history is very important...
Your comments on mercury are right on the money. The mad hatters mentioned in literature actually existed. In making top hats, they worked with mercury and often lost their minds.
When I was a boy, we lived about a half mile from the Natchez Trace parkway. Where it crosses U.S. Hwy 49 near Jackson, MS. We used to play around there. Lots of petrified wood in that area. Still have a piece that I found. No historical markers in that part, though. (At least none that we ran across.)
I traveled the trace coming home from Texas last summer . We came through what appeared to be extensive damage from tornadoes near your area. Do you happen to know when the damage occurred? I tried to research the internet, but had no luck.
@@jonathanjohnson8656 I don't know. I moved away from Jackson after college long ago. I still have family there. There was one in 2014 near there that was fairly significant. Maybe it was that one. Six years seems like a long time to leave trees down though.
@@crosbonit Thanks! ! That looks about right. The remaining debris was decaying, but because it's a protected forrest, it had old growth and that doesn't decay so quickly. I have seen the aftermath of tornadoes all my life living in this area but what I saw there was some of the most intense twisting of trees that I've seen. Hope everyone made it out ok.
Wow Jerry you did a ton of work on this!!!! How do you do it?? Sooo much information!! My husband and I rode the Natchez on our motorcycle and stopped at various spots to enjoy it. Very pretty!! So much history there!! Thank you so much Jerry. You should get some kind of award for this!!!🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎖🎖🎖🥇🥇🥇
Loved the ride down the Trace!! Lived in Hohenwald for a short % of my life but had a great % of my life adventures there. Logged a tract of timber just off the Trace , on She Boss Road. Often hopped the Trace to go to Maw's. Later I often worked in Kosciusko , Ms.. Rode the Trace often between there and TN . Even did a job at French Camp !! Later had jobs further South West. Usually rode the Trace every spring and fall, on the way to work and home. Beautiful drive!! Thank You for the history I didn't know.
Great video documentary. I have also traveled the entire Natchez Trace. It is a trip back in time. There are also large Indian mounds that weren't mentioned.
Another great one Jerry. You need to do a show on just the harp brothers. There was an “octaroon”(mixed race) free man in Robertson County TN names Elijah Cheek who ran Cheek’s Tavern which was on the old stagecoach road between Nashville and Bowling Green near Portland Tennessee in the early 1800s. Very interesting stories about the man and his tavern. He reportedly would rob and kill travelers to stopped to stay overnight. There is a large cave there with a sink hole far behind above the cave entrance and he was thought it dispose of the bodies in the cave and sinkhole. One story is that a man disappeared and his dog stayed at the sinkhole for days until the dog died.
Hence why dogs rule,see what happens to people who pass around their cats . Plus, no : Search and rescue cats Bomb cats Seeing eye cats Police cats. And their aloof attitude always bothered me, if I wanted that kind of inconsistency,I'll interact with a human. Unconditional love and loyalty is what I want from something I'm feeding and housing( listening ladies !?!?) And really with so many cat youd think there would be a better selection of truely great recipes. JUST kidding!! I'm an obvious animal lover. And you ladies aren't so bad either.
I've traveled the Natchez trace since I was 7 or 8 I'm 61 now.... when I was a kid I thought the Natchez trace was a spooky place and till this day I have treasured memories of it is a treasured place to me till this day
It's amazing to me how many of the names Mr. Skinner mentioned are names of Oklahoma counties, and probably places in many other states. This was another great video by him and a story I was unfamiliar with.
This channel is a hidden gem on the internet
Damn straight
It sure is!
Yep!
Shhhh
Absolutely
You have hit it out of the park once again, Jerry. Thank you Mr. Skinner.

I’m trying to figure out how my grandmother is supposed Choctaw born in Natchez

Great video documentary. I have also traveled the entire Natchez Trace. It is a trip back in time. There are also large Indian mounds that weren't mentioned.
Outstanding Jerry!
Another great one Jerry. You need to do a show on just the harp brothers.
There was an “octaroon”(mixed race) free man in Robertson County TN names Elijah Cheek who ran Cheek’s Tavern which was on the old stagecoach road between Nashville and Bowling Green near Portland Tennessee in the early 1800s. Very interesting stories about the man and his tavern. He reportedly would rob and kill travelers to stopped to stay overnight. There is a large cave there with a sink hole far behind above the cave entrance and he was thought it dispose of the bodies in the cave and sinkhole. One story is that a man disappeared and his dog stayed at the sinkhole for days until the dog died.
Hence why dogs rule,see what happens to people who pass around their cats .
Plus, no :
Search and rescue cats
Bomb cats
Seeing eye cats
Police cats.
And their aloof attitude always bothered me, if I wanted that kind of inconsistency,I'll interact with a human.
Unconditional love and loyalty is what I want from something I'm feeding and housing( listening ladies !?!?)
And really with so many cat youd think there would be a better selection of truely great recipes.
JUST kidding!!
I'm an obvious animal lover.
And you ladies aren't so bad either.

Been down that road since 1966, the year I graduated from college. Beautiful drive, no traffic, no trucks but speed limit 50 miles per hours.
I've traveled the Natchez trace since I was 7 or 8 I'm 61 now.... when I was a kid I thought the Natchez trace was a spooky place and till this day I have treasured memories of it is a treasured place to me till this day
It's amazing to me how many of the names Mr. Skinner mentioned are names of Oklahoma counties, and probably places in many other states. This was another great video by him and a story I was unfamiliar with.
This is so interesting, I always enjoy your video's , get to learn some history
I'm sure glad I found your Channel. You put out very interesting videos. They are very well-researched.
Once again you have done a great job on the subject at hand.
