- Garry Adelman and former park ranger and Co-Founder of the American Battlefield Trust Dennis Frye head to Allstadt's Ordinary, an important and strategic piece of land preserved by the Trust in 2019.
Here, John Brown's Raiders made a stop to capture hostages as bargaining chips for their mission in 1859. The property is also in the heart of the Harpers Ferry Battlefield from the fighting in 1862.

Look for our numerous videos on CZcams over the next week, and special thanks to all the donors who helped make this trip possible!
found out about 20 years ago that I am a desendent of John Brown on my mothers side.
Man, you can be proud of your ancestor! What a great lad.
I'm an American born expat who lives in Rome. My children know little to nothing about this history, being like their dad, raised here all their young lives. They are Italian in education and culture and America is just that place that "Mama was born" to them. They are very young but I feel it's important for them to learn about the Americas too, The US, Cuba and Puerto Rico where my immediate roots are from. We are basically on Covid lockdown, watching your videos. I'm teaching them about this history, using your videos as educational tools. I just subscribed to your channel. What a valuable resource, making this history real for my little bambini. 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇵🇷🇨🇺👍🏾
Another great presentation of American history!
John Brown planned his raid on Harper's Ferry in a small First Baptist Church in Chatham, Ontario Canada. I have ben there to see the actual,desk he used in the planning.
A trip to Chatham and area to see,the church and all the other underground exhibits is worhwhile
If you love history this is the channel to subscribe to. Love it!
Mr. Dennis Frye is wonderful.
The flea mkt mentioned was an old drive-in movie years ago on Route 340, I saw Magnum Force there when I was a teenager with my aunt and brother.
To finish the story about the sword, George Washington was apparently given the sword as a gift but the ties to Frederick the Great are weak. John Brown was wearing the sword belt and sword when captured. When Lt. Green tried to stab Brown, Green hit the breast plate on the sword
belt.
Thanks, Dennis. As always, you are a living, breathing Civil War historian.
And with all due respect, if someone would give Gary s tranquilizer & strap his arms to his side, he could be quite interesting too 🤣. Kudos to you both...
Thanks for doing these videos, I like these alot!
Great work, incredible passion for history.
Very cool. My parents were from West Virginia.

Wow! What a great story. And my heart weeps just a little because I got some good deals at that flea market. :)
Are y’all going to try and save the mifflin house outside of wrightsville PA.
Cool !!!!😃😃😃😃
I'd really like to see the inside and grounds. But the windows don't look quite right
The marching song of the Army of the Potomac was JOHN BROWNS BODY to the degree it was rewritten as BATTLE HYME OF THE REPUBLIC which had no association with emancipation
There's a wasp nest on the door...

Correct good sir! The worker bees were treated very poorly too!
Can one of you guys tell me why many (mostly union) generals are seen on pictures with their hand in there uniform (like napoleon)? Is it because of napoleon?
It's called the "Al Bundy pose" since he scored 4 TDs for Polk High.
Masonic symbols you will see that even today, they're all Masons but people just don't realize even our founding fathers were masons and Washington dc was layed out by them, research the information is there for the finding.
Yes, but at least most of them don’t appear to be scratching their belly like the Napoleon appears in his 1812 portrait. French military was considered to be very cool in America in the mid 19th century. The civil war kepi, their version of the ball cap, was copied from the French by North and South.
all military officers studied napoleon.
the answer is yes.
@@sherryalford3595 No. It's from an etiquette book dating to the late 1600s or early 1700s. It's to project an image but I can't remember the exact phrasing. I'll try to find the book and get back later today. I have no idea where the Masonic rumor got started except people love to have the inside scoops on the Masons.
I’m bACK!!!!! Y’all are!!! Let’s do this!!!
Crazy. I live in Virginia 20 mins away from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. You grow up around all this history and take it for granted.
I love history and these videos are so great and informative. I would encourage everyone to know and understand this historical figure better. John Brown wanted to end slavery, a noble cause, but he was willing to become a terrorist to do it. Frederick Douglas, a freed slave and freedom fighter did not approve of John Brown’s tactics. John Brown was found guilty of treason and was hanged for his crimes. This is also the same John Brown that lead the Pottawatomie Massacre in Kansas 4 years prior. It’s hard for me to elevate this man as a great abolitionist, when his actions were no better than the slave masters he sought to destroy. Added note: the first casualty in The Raid on Harper’s Ferry was: “A baggage handler at the town’s train station, he was shot in the back and killed when he refused the orders of Brown’s men. The victim was a free Black man - one of the very people the abolitionist movement sought to help.” Ironic?? sad!
“John Brown’s zeal in the cause of freedom was infinitely superior to mine. Mine was as the taper light, his was as the burning sun. I could speak for the slave. John Brown could fight for the slave.”
- Frederick Douglass
April Davis
Being a free black man, Heyward Shepherd was, by definition, NOT one of the people the abolitionist movement sought to help.
YES we do prefer "yall". Its Southern and we all know deep down that the South had the righteous cause as to why the war began. Say I'm lying ✌
5:22..... Murderers... Murderers....🤣😂😅
Basically John Brown was what is today be called A Nut.. You do not change a whole country on your own personal & very few others opinions only. It take the majority of the voters 1st. Citizens has lost the value & importance of just 1 vote now days. Only 1 vote don't matter is very wrong.
A nut who stood for the right cause. The US should celebrate that man much more for he stood on the right side of history.
