Hello from Detroit Michigan brother 94/275 thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through time and space

An amazing episode from The History Guy! Good story! After the George Washington part, I figured we were headed to Thomas Jefferson and PIRATES! Later, The History Guy did mention Congress ... close enough!

Just at the bridge over the river Kwai museum a few hours ago. Got to appreciate a few things I'd never seen before. Sometimes I miss the shorter episodes. A rainy night in Thailand good night

@ The History Guy I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but there was a little campaign during world war 2 that took place in the islands by Alaska. I would love to see a video on that. Thank you!

My father was a very well educated man who lived a very hard life, starting with a tough upbringing in the hills of eastern Kentucky. He worked hard to educate himself, all the while working the graveyard shift as a police officer in Lexington, Kentucky, while going to college full-time for years to get his bachelors and masters degrees in political science. Through all of this, he was riddled with illness in the form of a very serious kidney disease, which took his life at the age of 64. As you can imagine, he was a wise man as well. The older he got, the more devoutly religious he became. Through a life riddled with pain, lengthy hospital stays and multiple transplant surgeries, his faith grew stronger. He eventually was completely blind and barely able to walk. But his mind was still quite clear, and during his last stay in the hospital, the one we knew he would not make it home from, he told us he wanted to donate his remains to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. When we asked why, he simply said that they had somehow kept him alive for so many years that it was only fitting that they be able to study what was left of him in the hopes that it may help in some small way. And well, he didn't need it anymore.

I am sorry about your father. I'm 60 and I feel like a million bucks. I'm willing to bet your dad developed bad kidneys and blindness due to undiagnosed diabetes. It would be a smart bet to find the cause.

the best of the history guy 👍 pretty cool that Lance has greatest hits.

The French commander’s brother later led a raiding party well into central Pa and attacked and destroyed Fort Granville near present day Lewistown. This was down stream on the Juniata river 20 miles from the home/fort of Washington’s guide George Grogan. Recent excavations have uncovered the exact location of what later was known as Fort Shirley. It is in the present day town of Shirleysburg, Pa. Ten miles north of Forbes Road that was built near Shade Gap.

I'm Canadian. I visited New Orleans during Mardi Gras. They welcomed me like a long lost brother. I simply had no idea why.

Great episode. Perhaps the stroke was just punishment for persecuting Emperor Carl to exile and an early grave on Maderia Island.

I think treason is a better description, he even commented he was likely destroying the country when he allowed the Federal Reserve (a private bank) to be established. We also got nothing out of our involvement in World War 1 except the 1918 Pandemic and World War 2.

The British turned down Washington's request for a commission in their military. How different our history would have been had they accepted.

Sounds like he replaced his mic with a cheaper one?

1/15/2023 The section about Woodrow Wilson brings to mind a certain (current) president and just what secret is being kept from the country, the 25th amendment, and who is really sitting in the "Oval Office" .-)

Oct-1919 -- what a bleak month. At the same time our country entered a leadership vacuum the Chicago White Sox were throwing the 1919 World Series.

No movie to this story?

If you want to see medical oddities and evolution i suggest the museum of medicine at Walter Reed. It's open to the public (check hours) grovers tumor is there. The Civil War was more brutal than can be described in media. Broken bones for that matter😮 it's a great go see if you're into that stuff 😊

I thank God every day thst I was born in our painless, modern age.

"Small" factual error-Theodore Roosevelt DIED at the BEGINNING of 1919 (on 01/06), therefore he could NOT have "opposed" the "League of Nations" OR the "Treaty of Versailles"!

When Wilson suffered his stroke his damage was already done. He is one of our worst presidents. He sucked.

He might have been one of the worst humans that has ever existed

Wilson, when he was in Paris Wilson when he was in Paris who said to be against reparation to be Levi and Germany. Subsequently Wilson apparently changed his mind and sided with the other three countries who supported reparations as a means of keeping Germany in check and unable to rebuild is military forces. It is also said run the time the president was very busy taking care of all of his notes attending all the meetings and virtually being the United States ambassador to the conference and a sitting United States president. He refused any assistance offered him including Secretary of State could've brought things to an easier end would let's dress on him. It is unfortunate that he did not he does vice, but President Wilson was not known to be particularly fogged up taking any ones advice or even listening to it. It is said when he wanted his room rearranged he did it himself, rather than asking hotel staff to help him move item is the furniture. This indeed was done without any months knowledge nor with anyone's assistance. Hindsight being what it is it seemed Mr. Bilson could've been in the beginnings of a stroke even then because that was odd behavior even for him. I am sympathetic to the man who had a stroke I am not sympathetic to the idea that he did not have any sense of when to stop and say hi need help. Probably today cicadas might say that he had something about Messi Yannick complex, because he didn't even try to save the world but instead caused a second world war 20 years later.
