This is what some of America has lost. We need more of this.
History through storytelling enriches our lives. Thank you for sharing this video. I felt transported through time listening to Geoff's words.
What a lovely place St. Genevieve is. Living history is magical!
What great storytelling! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing them with us all! 😊
The Laughing Wolf and the fish stew story sure cracked me up a lot.
Geoff did a wonderful job of explaining the melting pot that made America. Thank you. ❤️
What a great history teacher, he brings the past to life in his stories of the native peoples customs and beliefs
This content is what makes UA-cam worthwhile... My work took me to the Martyrs' Shrine here in Ontario, Canada, and I was able to spend time there learning of the Jesuit missionaries at Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, and of course the tragic outcome experienced by the men who themselves felt fear, knew hunger, suffered loneliness, but somehow forged great friendships among those with whom they sought to leave a legacy of faith. So... to hear Geoff tell the history, by extension, of some of what took place in Ste. Genevieve really helped show the breadth and magnitude of the Jesuit influence. Those men were... I don't like to say "pioneers" but rather, brave explorers who ventured into a dangerous world. I find the architecture of the buildings at that time very relaxing... earthy, and on a human scale we don't see today. Tell your friend he did an excellent job at sharing his knowledge.
He is a great story-teller, that's for sure! Keeping history alive! Blessings.
❤ I love this channel. I learn a lot here. Please don't stop sharing the history of our nation. Love you guys❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing about the Osage. It’s such a tragedy we’ve lost so much of their wisdom and traditions. I’m glad for everyone (including natives today) keeping them alive. We must re-learn how to live in harmony with nature and how to be more self sufficient. The most important things in life cannot be bought online.
Mr. Geoff is such a great storyteller. I hung on his every word & was transported back in time. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽
Our pleasure! Btw, you like to come to our wedding? :)
Can I come
Thank you for sharing the delightful M. Geoff with us! He is a natural and engaging storyteller. Who cares if M. Buldoc returns soon...time spent with M. Geoff is better.
This is fascinating. Ste. Genevieve is on my bucket list.
I love watching people bring history to life! Thank you for sharing this with us, Ron & Justine... Be blessed always! xoxo
I love the first person interpretation. Hardest to do but the most enjoyable, I think, and I truly enjoyed this. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
People like Geoff are keeping history alive…what a blessing it is to hear this story. People of today could really learn a thing or two from the past experiences of the people who lived back in the day ❤ Thanks so much for sharing this! Loved hearing the bell ringing in the background 😊 Your town is truly amazing! God Bless, till next time 👋😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love history and I’m still learning 💕💕
Wonderful explanations of the early French and native Creole way of life. And always enjoy Mr. Geoff!
I love Geoff he is a delight with such wonderful knowledge I could listen to him for hours about his wonderful stories. Thank you for this awesome video.
Thank you,Mr. Geoff for the telling the story of the English, French, and Spanish communities and their traditions that came to St. Genevieve. That stew part was funny. I thought those wooden shoes were a tradition of the Swedish and Dutch, but thanks to your story I learnt those shoes were used by the French, too.
I love the history telling. Thinking about making myself a pair of moccasins.
That was awesome storytelling at its finest!
I do hope to visit the museum there someday!
Love the video!
😃❤👍
Thank you Mr Geoff for your wisdom❤
I totally appreciated Director Geoff's presentation!!! He's such a great storyteller/history recounter. 😄ETA: After seeing that movie 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' it's very interesting for me to learn more about the Osage people.
Thank you Tracy we will pass on the message!
While a peasant might be able to make their own moccasins, I doubt that they could make sabot! Another great job by Mr. Geoff.
How interesting, I love listening to stories of the past, my hubby really liked what the natives called the firearms, and the story about the fish stew, it made me laugh. Thank you for sharing Geoff
Thank you Mr. Geoff for such an interesting story about the history of the area where you live!!
That was wonderful! It was like sitting and chatting with my Accadian Uncle!
The gentleman knows his stuff.
I love the passion that Mr. Geoff has for history of your lovely town. Videos like this, really make me wish I could move to Ste. Genevieve!❤ I hope you do move videos like this!
Thank you, Mr. Geoff, for sharing some history with us through storytelling. Much appreciated!
Oh my I loved this! If history in high school had included bits like this, that made history interesting, I might remember more of what I ‘learned’ then!
Fabulous video. So interesting. What a natural teacher this man is. Thank you for this!
That was fantastic! I loved his stories. I could listen to him all day.
That was amazing. Wow! So good. As someone who will probably never get to this place, what a treat to be able to experience it this way. Thank you.
Expertly presented. Ste. Gen is the most historically preserved town I’ve seen. Walnut Grove MN is second. Peace. 🤘
This channel always delivers great educational content. It’s so much easier for me to absorb history coming from such a friendly & informal atmosphere 💞.
There is nothing like a talk among friends thank you see you again
❤️❤️❤️Absolutely FASCINATING!
This story telling was great! I hope Mr. Geoff returns with more history. Thank you.
Good to see Mr. Geoff again!
Geoff is great! What an interesting and informative presentation!
That was so fun to watch! He is so interesting. I love his slight accent and the stories are fantastic!
Absolutely wonderful! I love learning about how people lived and what they used back then! Keep it coming, I can't get enough! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very good. Looking forward to coming up in May and meeting these folks.
Enjoyed so much!! Thank you for putting this together!!! 😂 I swear my room smelled bad when he made the tooty noise in his funny story!
Thank you Geoff, wonderful video I enjoyed very much. 🤗
Awesome 👏 I love learning something new every day!
I love this video so much. Tell your friend that I just love those moccasins ❤
I loved this! Please bring us more like this. Thank you ❤
Moccasins are very comfy. I love the layering of the wooden clogs over the Mocs! Really smart!❤
Thanks Mr.Geoff for sharing the history of the area through those wonderful stories. I'm glad that different people could learn from each other❤
Love hearing this man talk, I wonder if I can adopt him for a uncle
The sabots are really interesting. When there were uprisings in France, the people would throw sabots at the hated individuals! OW! OW! OW! Great video, and I would love to see more of these. The fish stew story is just hilarious! The French king's greeting!! LOL.
Thank you for your stories. I wish I had something to give you in return.
Thank you very much,Mr Geoff for your instructions on making moccasins. Your information about the Osage and the people of your area was most interesting. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Great job Monsieur Geoff!! Exellent chat!
I loved listening to Geoff, and got a good picture of the people of long-ago Ste. Genevieve. BTW - I just loved Laughing Wolf's story of the stew! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it
This is great!!!❤❤❤
Such a fascinating history we have!! ❤😊
That was super interesting! Thank your for sharing :)
I’m learning so much from this video. Plus is wonderful how he’s just talking to us. Lots of us are isolated and I love the conversations on this channel. It brings people together.
Edit: Can anyone tell me why he doesn’t use contractions? It must be historical.
Oh!!!! I really....really....really..........enjoyed this part of your videos. I enjoy Mr. Geoff! He truly is very knowledgeable of French history around that area and when I can get around again....I plan on traveling to that specific area.
😊 please make more videos with MR. GEOFF .....(if he is willing)!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I learned a lot with the information i heard today. Thanks to this show. Very knowledgeable man.
Such a wonderful video, excellent history lesson too. Thank you so much for sharing this
Enjoyed this VERY VERY much!! As an aside, the catfish stew is the same as my father used to make, substitute potatoes for squash. The anecdote is priceless!
Always like to learn these things. I am 70, and still have a need for knowledge.
Like the history Mr Goffen! Good hearing you again.David Back.
I love this video, kept my interest. Great way to get history across.
Geoff you are the best at teaching history. This video was so interesting especially the way you present it!! You need to do more videos! I felt like I was right there in Ste. Genevieve on the porch with you!😊
Very informative. I love learning the different aspects of life in early america
Loved this! Thank You Mr. Geoff! 🌞
Love this guy.
This was so very interesting! Thank you for sharing Mr Giglierano's talk.
love the story telling, this would make a great series of different people of the town or surrounding area
Thank you for this interesting bit of history from your corner of the world.
I really loved the video. I try and portray a French Canadian from the Upcoutry. Ouisconsing (Wi.) in particular. The only comment I have is that that lock really needs some work. I lived in NE France as a kid. Sabots were still being sold in the markets in the "60's. The way the farmers and other outdoors people wore them was to wear a heavy wool sock or an insulated booty. They kept them on by nailing a leather strap over the arch of the foot. I do the same and it really works..
So interesting! I thought he was going to speak about being an indentured servant. But there was so much more. Great video!
I thoroughly enjoyed the character and the talk. Well done!
So good and interesting ❤❤
I love these kinds of video, and Geoff is so neat. I wish he would do more videos like this.
Great info! Thank you!
Enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing
Wonderful story teller!
Ah, I have firench traditions as my mother is from France. But, I have modern traditions from France. And we have more when our cousins come to visit.
One tradition is Potato Soup.
I don't know if you have made it or know of it or it was part of early American series but, it is an easy soup.
Potatoes, leek, carrots and celery. You can add or whatever with it or substitute garlic and onions for the leek.
After it has cooked you empty the water and mash the contents.
Add milk (or if cream then maybe add some water so it is not as rich) and put it back to warm up. Serve and you can put butter on it and some salt and pepper to season. Very good.
This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing
Damn good stuff!
Thank you, very interesting
I love the stories:)
Love this video!
Je lâche un soupir de nostalgie, je suis né deux siècles trop tard, ou bien étais-je au bon endroit et au bon moment jadis... Alors dans ce cas je n'aurai pas dû me réincarner en France, ce même pays qui s'acharne à tuer ses propres traditions depuis la révolution Française. Merci pour cette vidéo, le bonnet de la liberté vous va à merveille.
Merci, we will pass this lovely message along to Geoff.
This is so good.
LOL, The fish story!
Great video 👍
INTERESTING! Do take care. Fl.
👍
Feel like I’m back in 4th grade history class
I need some moccasins
Does anyone else besides me find his hat to be a little precious?
Yep. 😊
Does anyone in your settlement wear mitassen or the brayet?
