To remember what people went through to protect, defend, and create our country is being forgotten. To participate in keeping our history alive is a great gift. How awesome! The greatest gift I have ever received was a package that came without warning, in the mail 15 years ago. It was MY paternal family history going back to 1635!!!
Wow!
I know! So thankful. Sometimes we have no idea what happened in our past that made it possible for us to be here. My first ancestors that immigrated in 1635 had ONE son. Just think about it. AND my maternal great grandmother was a Jewish Dutch woman that immigrated before WW1. God is good!
Iâm so grateful my Mom worked out our family tree. We are members of DAR and my Dad is SAR. It means more now than ever before.
@@LS-ek1fd That is awesome!!! I am also eligible for the DAR on both sides of the family. My cousin has completed the paperwork and has received membership, someday I will do it.
@@forrestgump9576 donât wait. Life is unpredictable. Our ancestors knew this. We sometimes forget.
This is what this Generation is missing. Knowing the struggles of our Ancestors â€ïž and what they fought for đșđž
Is is cool stuff.. but MY generation new about this stuff back in 93. It's just this version is told in a more story/ anecdote kinda way. It certainly makes it neat to hear with them dressed up like those in the 18th century.
These guys should be teaching history in the classrooms. Our children could learn so much real history, not the adulterated junk being taught from books.
Thank you Patara
In the area surrounding Kings Mountain, Cow Pens, and that historic battlefield, the history has been routinely taught by trips to those sites, including people like that gentleman, telling them that history in a first person narrative. At least it was when my grandchildren were still in school. God only knows what my great grandchildren will be taught. The oldest of them is in the 1st grade now.
AMEN!
Parents can take responsibility for taking their children to these places, and out of public school
Amen.
@@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185 Not every state has things like thisâ€
My ancestor, Hugh Rogers fought at the Battle of King's Mountain. Before he went into battle he met a young lady by the name of Nancy Thornton, whose father, Col. John Thornton was running a munitions depot at the time ( Nancy was assisting) and also served under Lafayette during the Cornwallis campaign. Nancy's mother was Jane Augusta Washington Thornton, daughter of Augustine Washington Jr., George Washington's elder half brother and Ann Aylett Washington . The story goes that Hugh fell in love with Nancy at first sight when the men stopped at the depot after Nancy offered him a drink of water and vowed to marry her after the battle. He did and they eventually settled in Fine's Creek on the NC/ Tennessee border where she gave birth to 12 children. I descend from the eldest, John Rogers.
Thank you so much for this posting! We need to remember who and where we came from as a nation and must keep the fire of patriotism and liberty burning in our hearts!
Walking the pathways of our ancestors. Itâs an awesome and emotional history lesson. No matter what nation we come from. Thank you for sharing this history. đâ€ïž
So true!
Oh my precious friend. I am 68 years old and have attended may POW WOW'S and reenactments. But sadly it has been many years. I have been an "old time" master herbalist for many many years and of Cherokee and Shawnee, Scotch-Irish and Italian blood. Quite a combo but I am proud of every gene my people have blessed me with. I traditionally wear a white oil tanned buckskin dress that has won me awards for it's beauty. (not my beauty...strictly the dress lol ) It was an anniversary gift from my husband who is Cherokee, and Welsh. I miss those days of honoring those that have gone before us. . I can't tell you how watching this episode has blessed me. It brought me to tears and has taken me back many years. Thank you my precious friend and sister in Christ Jesus for all you do. You make my heart so very happy.
This is what our children should be taught. Amazing
I could set and listen to that gentleman for days! He can tell a story. Looks like everyone enjoyed the day.
these are the history lessons that should be taught in school today
I used to do reenactments in Keokuk, IA, battle of Pea Ridge, very emotional the first time i went knowing what our forefathers went through, we are at war now, a very stealthy war, but those that have eyes to see and ears to hear understand what we are up against, so hold the line and stay the course, God Bless đ
And donât forget to keep your powder dry!
Wonderful history lesson! Back when Men were men and Women were Women like God intended it to be. So Glad that you had a Great time and got to share in the reenactment!đȘâ€
To know history (the good, the bad, and the ugly) as it happened, is a treasure our next generation will likely never receive. When we forget the past, we are doomed to repeat it in the future. Thank you for sharing!
Well done! Love this. Our history is rich with just "plain folks" that love freedom, liberty, God Almighty and family. WE the people of this great country will do it proud once again. WE will be the survivors. I too come from people such as these and we are passing on our history, real history. We have patriotism in our veins. It's there and it still burns bright. THAT is why I still have hope and with God's help, we will come out of this on the other side. Try as they might, those that seek to destroy will not stop what was started by our Founders and "just plain folks". Be blessed and stay vigilant. I made another Aldi run and some other places adding to the pantry today. Love seeing our history come alive. Thanks Patara for posting this!
What a blessing to watch! Sadly our children are not taught these important historical lessons today! Thank you!!!
You want me to tell my 6 year old about "where we should hang em" ? lol I'm a big history buff, and this here mountain folk reanactors are awesome stuff, but there's some things smaller kiddos can learn about when they a little older. I think it can be told a bit differently according their age.
@@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185
Yes I know mine were home schooled
Never forget our history teach your children everyone pray for Florida God bless
CAPTURING THE BEAUTY OF THE PAST..HERITAGE..BLESSINGS ..
My Great Grandfather Capt. John Starnes was on that hillside that day. Iâm so proud of all of them.
I love that. Planting the seeds of freedom. Amen and Amen
God Bless these courageous, brave people đđ»â€ïž
Thank you Patara! And, thank you, Steve Ricker, too!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm in tears. Our ancestors fought for freedom, let's not squander it. My Grandmother married a man from Tennessee with the last name of Lacy. I never got to meet him. His name was D.L. Lacy. My heart is swelled with pride.
I live close to Kings Mountain! Such a victorious battle, I praise the Father for this victory! My dad fought in WWll as a Marine and that warriors spirit is with me today! Letâs not give up or give in to this battle we are facing today!!! We will be victorious! A 74 year old grandmother praying for our nation A warrior Bride!!!
Love this reminder.
Freedom is never free. đđđ
â€â€ from South Carolina.
None of us have any idea how hard they had it, as they struggled against forces of nature and an army that was far stronger and better equipped. I thank God for these tough and tenacious people who made America great the first time.
So thankful for our ancestors who fought so valiantly and planted the seeds of freedom for all of us. This man takes me to that time in our history and does a stupendous job of making me feel as though I was there. My grandfather eight generations back immigrated from Ireland and came to the Carolinas and was counted as one who fought for our young nation in the Revolutionary war.
May God have mercy on all of us and may we work diligently, each in our own way to help save this great land.
Thank you Patara for sharing.
That makes me cry. Thinknig about what our ancesters endured
What a wonderful re-enactment! I feel that we, as American Patriots are facing our own âWataugaâ.
Wow! That man is a heck of a storyteller! I was riveted, hanging on every word! I wish he could repeat that story for every student in this country to hear bc he described patriotism, & the priceless value of freedom. But for that, we wouldn't be Americans, & we've lost touch w/the integrity of those tough men who gave it their all, & persevered. We can't hold onto our country w/complacency, yet that's what we have -apatht & cognitive dissonance. Only tragedy seems to bring us together, & most ppl can't see we're facing that right now bc our own government has sold us out. This is what our founders feared, & WE have always been the last defense of freedom. If we don't value & protect that, then all these brave men will have died for nothing.
Love it especially when you know that youâre ancestors fought for our freedom. Currahee, Where we go one we go all.
Thank u so much. I teach military history and we are on the revolution. I am playing this for them
Thank you for sharing this! Makes me soooo homesick for Upper East Tennessee. Thankful for our brave ancestors who fought at Kings Mountain.
God bless our forefathers. God bless America, if she'll have His blessing. I pray, PRAY for our freedom, our determination, and mostly, our souls.
That tale sent a chill down my spine,I donât think anyone could have told it better
What a great story, and what a great day you must have had! It's nice to grab a day off and enjoy yourself! Thanks for sharing our Mountain History. I find so many musket balls, and buckles and things whenever we plow a new field, it's amazing to think about the Men who fought for our freedom!
Thank you so much for this history lesson. I loved listening to that man speak about our brave ancestors. I hope we can keep that fighting spirit alive.
Thank you! Iâve walked a tiny bit of the trail in Abingdon. Iâve been to the reenactment there at the Mustering Grounds. Iâm so happy to get to see this. My people were there in Virginia. It gives me a special sense of pride to stand where they stood. If only more people understood.
We call adventure and was such a reality of life back then but so thankful for every foot step they made before us !
I believe we need to fight today with the same resolve as they did. Our freedom depends on it. Thank you for the history lesson đšđŠ
your video about Kings mountain really touched my soul, people now a days forget the sacrifices our familys before us made for all of us. you are a true light for so many of us, we all have to stay the course
Excellent Excellent. Made me cry wondering what's happened to my country. God help us.
Thank you for sharing this video. One of my ancestors Elsi Hunt, he served under John Sevier and fought in the battle on Kings Mountain.
I grew up in Elizabethton about half a mile from Sycamore Shoals. Sat many a summer night on the back porch listening to the guns of the re-enactments. đ
That was AWESOME. Thanks for sharing.
When I was in my 30's I participated in an event called THE PIONEER WOMEN . I made my dress, underskirts, apron and bonnet.
Rode my mo.fox trotter.
ITS WONDERFUL TO RELIVE OUR HISTORY.
In Fort Smith we did speak at schools and libraries from Talaquah, Ok to Ozark Ar the kids always paid close attention. Schools today in that same region just don't try anymore. Thank you storytellers and presenters
What a treasure to hear the story! Thank you for giving us a share of this day, and what it really means in the American story. Beautifully told by a true Patriot.â„ïžđđșđž
Thank you for sharing that! I am a direct descendent of patriot Samuel Ferguson. He was a cousin of Patrick Ferguson. As family lore has it, Samuel helped to bury his cousin after that battle.
Wow, that's an Interesting story. It makes me think how we are living in times again where families and friends are being divided. Praying we don't end up fighting on different sides again.
The true history of the way things came a about is a beautiful thing, and important to pay attention to.
Thank you for sharing-loved it from an old South Carolina girl!
Thanks for taking us along on these adventures. Keep speaking TRUTH!!!!
And the rain falling as if on queue. A perfect backdrop to the telling of the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this Historic telling of The March up Kings Mountain. It made me cry to know what these men did and sacrificed for themselves, their families and our Nation...
Lord, raise up men and women of courage to stand against the evil that we now face. Give us Perseverance to do what is right and to stand in the face of adversity just like these men of old had done. Lord, strengthen our resolve to not waiver, to not give up, but to push forward as we put our faith and trust in You. Go before us Lord and make a way where there seems to be no way. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
Beautiful. Much love to you all from Scotland. đ đ đ
Our little Family has founding Fathers falling from our tree. Yes, my married name surname is proudly on the Declaration of Independence, our ancestors loved Virginia.
We live in California in Gold Country. You can still see the wagon ruts through the mountains that lead the 49ers to the gold fields. The Osage Orange trees that were planted for fire wood still grow in a little town called Columbia.
Columbia is a State Historical Park. No cars are allowed to drive through downtown Columbia. Every business is run just as it was in 1849 through 1860's. There is no air conditioning because it didn't exist during the Gold Rush. We lived there for a few years and it was eye opening in many ways...
Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Thank you, Patera. Iâm all stirred up and teary eyed. Itâs so important to learn about our past and the cost of freedom.
Iâm watching this video for the second time because the way he speaks is like sitting on the front porch listening to a friend tell his story, not someone elseâs. I took my grandson to Kingâs Mountain and many other historical battle sites when he was younger. He and I talk history every time we see each other. Thank you for sharing because it was great.
Only great respect for the Brave Overmountain Men and their courage to defeat entrenched Red Coats or we might still be bowing to King of England!!!! Greatest turning point in history!!!
A great weekend remembering the tough trail that our ancestors travelled to secure our freedoms. Thank you for keeping this heritage alive. It was a pleasure meeting you and James at the Crossing.
What a great story teller. Thank you for sharing this trip with us. Praying you and James continue to have many more wonderful years together.
Thank you for sharing this. This has been a much needed distraction to many of us. A good distraction. A remembrance of why we love this country and should never forget who paved the way for our freedoms.
I really enjoyed that! My ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War too but out here on the coast from Washington NC to Wilmington.
What a great story teller! I enjoyed listening to it this morning and thank you for sharing it with us all â€đșđž
I got to visit Kings Mtn. recently. Brave and tough men (and women).
What a great storyteller!
Chills! Amazing recreation of our history!
Thanks so much!
What a great story & storyteller! Thank You Patara for sharing your history, and ours's, with your followers. God bless you and yours from us in Indiana...
Thank you, we have to remember our history, we have to pass it down...you're such a blessing to many of us, Patera, much love, my sister in Christ.
That was so awesome! It actually made me cry to think about what so many patriots endured for freedom. We don't realize just how fragile our freedom is and what it took to achieve it. đđșđČ
My Great fought the Battle of Cowpens. Thank you for sharing.
I love reenactments! I used to go to Civil Wars' and learned so much about those times that you wouldn't learn in school.
Thank you, Patara, for sharing this wonderful storyteller and history with all of us.
It truly brings it to life.
Pretty sure weâre gonna see that again great video Patara keep it up hello James
Thank you for sharing this amazing story of bravery and determination. â€
My cousin lives in Cleveland, TN, which was named after Benjamin Cleveland. If you look around the internet, you'll find a painting called "The War Prize" which shows Cleveland riding Ferguson's white horse after the battle. My cousin commissioned that painting and posed as Cleveland.
Framed my beautiful Declaration of Independence last week, thank you to the Signers â€ïžâïžđșđž
My Lord! My Lord! I never knew how hard it was to defend this country. Iâm so glad my dad has shared about my gramps and great grandpa defends this nation
How wonderful that you got to enjoy a piece of history revisited. Have a great week and thanks for sharing!
Thanks beautiful.
I thought I knew a little history from that time, but I learned a lot more from this. Thank you Patara. And I so love the reenactment. (I have at least three great grandfathers who fought in that war. And one line of family from early 1700s Surry county, NC that the gentleman spoke of .)â€ïžđșđž
Thank your for taking us along. Love learning new things everyday
â€đâ€He did an excellent job with his story telling! Good job to you sir! I cannot imagine how many hours he practiced. God has blessed AMERICA!!!!â€đâ€
Loved that you shared this, â€â€ thank you Patara for a reminder đđ my husband & I watched it on the TV twice so the grandbabies could watch â€
Thank God for those brave men!đđ»â„ïžđșđž
Thank you!
Ty Patera. Iâm going to let my grandchildren watch this video also. Have a great week.
This video was excellent! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Interestingly enough, a great book to read that shares the story that you related is Patrick K OâDonnellâs âWashingtonâs Immortalsâ. The author quoted one of the Overmountain backwoodsman who later bragged, âWe were formidableâŠ.Our equals were scarce, and our superiors hard to find.â This video brought that to life for us! May America have men and women like them once again! God bless you and âhuzzahâ to all who have the spirit of the Overmountain men!
I love when individuals speak history and they are wearing clothing and reenacting what had occurred in history. Talk about a moving history board.. that's definitely what kids nowadays should be and how they should be taught. Love the video thank you so much for showing us and sharing with us
My ancestor, David Vance fought at Kingâs Mountain. I have been there as well.
So glad to see you able to share in this replay of history. Something that each of us would benefit from.
Good evening from South Australia Patara. OH WOW WHAT CAN I SAY, As you can imagine I don't know alot about your countries history, I sat here mesmerised listening as this tale was told.My heart raced and I held my breath waiting to hear how it would end. I could almost visualize in my mind what was happening that day. Thank you for sharing this wonderful day and part of your history with me. Lots of love to you and your family, Jan đ
AMEN SISTA! PREACH THAT HISTORY!! â€ïžđ
Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. What a wonderful experience you had and thank you so much for sharing it with us
Great story ... My father's side of the family came from the east coast lower Candia and my mom's side were British, I have my great, great, granddads black powder shotgun from when he rode stagecoach, Yep the Deney's were there.
Thank you! I will be taking my granddaughters to this next year because I believe they need to know how much our freedom costs.
Absolutely love this!!!
A great story and a great storyteller! Thanks for sharing, Patara. Blessings to you and yours.
Thank you soo much for sharing a little bit of our history. Reminding us of our history.
I live one block away from the start of the Over the Mountain Victory trail. (Virginia)
So cool
thank you for sharing that with us
Awesome video Thank you for sharing! I lived in Kings Mountain for years right next to the Kings Mountain National Military Park it is a wealth of information on our history.
What a delightful surprise. I LOVE HISTORY. I caught myself mesmerized listening to this gentleman. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I was total into listening to his story. Everything's so beautiful in eastern KY and looks like you add an amazing experience.
Oh my goodness that was awesome Patara, thanks for sharing!! The paternal side of my family is from various areas of NC. My Dad did our genealogy back to the 1700's I believe it was, before he passed in '99, and I knew all the way back to my great great grandpa were NC military folks but I've absolutely no idea where/what kind of service they were involved in. A friend of my Mom's was doing my Mom's genealogy and somehow found that I'm a DAR. I SO wish I knew what part my ancestors played in the settling of NC. Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride on this history lesson!! God bless!!
