Wish to learn about culture, history, geography beyond what's constantly promoted in media? I have amassed a personal but public archive of my travels as I've been accomplishing my childhood dream of visiting every US state. Having been to the better part of 200 locations in the United States, I hope I can share the true beauty of this country to those who enjoy to look deeper into American culture.
From documenting large cities which hold significance to greater American identity, to national parks whose beauty defines the idea of great American landscapes, to lesser known towns and regions rich with near-forgotten heritage. Every location I visit is pinned onto an online interactive map, regularly updated, wherein you can click to discover all of my past travels, archived for the sake of a great collection. If you find this concept interesting and would like to support this endeavor in any way, subscribe in order to be updated as I visit each new location!
8:57 100 years ago is exactly when the danger became the most imminent for our people after the trail of tears. The Treaties between the United States Government and our Nations were once again being violated and land was once again taken by force. Always over things Europeans determined were more valuable than human life itself.

Chickasaw heritage is also in Memphis, Tennessee. The Chickasaw mounds are here and Chucalissa Village. Majority of black people in Memphis are Chickasaw Choctaw or Cherokee. Our families came from Mississippi. Oh and btw, Chickasaw heritage in Memphis is older than Oklahoma. Chucalissa is dated at 1000 a.d.✌🏾💪🏾🪶🥷🏾

@@TheCoverageProject Filmmaker and journalist Peter Davis once wrote a detailed book about this, called "Hometown". He best summed up his view of Hamilton by stating it was; "a city, a self-contained town, a suburb, a satellite in the orbits of both Cincinnati and Dayton, a minor metropolitan cluster, a country seat, a bump on the plain, a galactic microdot where 63.189 people want to see what will happen next." Definitely would recommend looking the town up, maybe even shooting a video there.
I have only lived in 3 places mainly: Long Island, NY and Seattle, WA. In 1995, I moved back to NY after being in Seattle for most of 15 years. It was too expensive after a year and I didn't know what to do, since I moved all my stuff there. I had a dream about this city, and it was very particular, the things in it. I looked at all places to move and I was partial because my mom was from a small city in Central PA. I had never been to Altoona before, but when I drove there after research, I realized it was the city from my dream. I stayed there and had a great year but I needed to get back somewhere larger, so I moved back to Seattle (which has a ton of weird social problems). I had won the Altoona Writer of the Year prize (called something like that, from the writers club that met at the library) while I was in Altoona. They are a nice bunch of people there.
Great video, I biked along the Ohio/Chesapeake canal tow path a little bit east of Harpers Ferry all the way to DC, about 40 years ago. It was quiet like that almost all the way to DC back then, but I am sure there have been many changes. Great video!!
ACTUALLY, only a very small handful of Swedish settled here, it was really about 95% German farmers and Lindsborg is not really Swedish and is way over hipped About the only thing there that is Swedish is a small shop making horses
There is some merit to what you say. I did recognize before arriving here that much of central Kansas and the adjacent lands around Lindsborg’s limits were split among many different immigrant stocks, as I also mention in the video. The Swedish were indeed only a small fraction of the total population, yet I will add that approximately 30% of today’s population is of Swedish heritage/origin and many of the traditions are kept alive such as the local Hyllningsfest. When most of America’s Swedish heritage lies up north near the Minnesota/Dakotas area, Lindsborg can still be a fun little capsule of Swedishness in the center of the US worth a showcase.
That's not true! They are from Asia same as Caucasians. That's why God is sending violent storms to New Mexico, Mexico, Oklahoma and every place the Asiatic people inhabit because they unalived the original people and erased our history forever. You stole are True Religion Christianity and made a mockery of it and you are anti-christian. They made up of false history about being tortured by Christians and having Christianity be forced on them and it's not true. Christianity had come from the indigenous black population of America. So that's why they made that story so in the end times they could use that excuse to burn down Christian churches. This is why God sent that violent storm to Sulphur Oklahoma it was judgement! The whole history is a complete and total lie! Native Americans have never apologized for slavery they never paid any reparations for slavery there's never been any remorse from them and never any repentance for their behavior. You're not the good people that they have been made out to be.
Its very pretty there, the biggest mountains are in the very east of the state, Randolph, Pendelton and Franklin counties, very Beautiful, i appreciate your videos.
Generally I was half kidding, but as I can recall, it felt a bit eerie walking down that Main Street at 10-ish at night. Certainly wasn’t as lively as you’d hope a Main Street to be. Overall I’d take caution but I was only there for a day. Those who live there would have a better feel for the area than I would
You might be glad to know that I haven’t yet, if I interpreted your sentiment correctly. I’d also like to have Syracuse depicted in a positive light as jobs return and prosperity grows. Interesting stuff from the past, hopefully coupled with great prospects for its future.
There is one district that is the Historic District. It's north Wheeling about 1 to 2 miles above wheeling depending on where you are in Wheeling form south to north.
Ohio isn't much further west than WV. Eastern Ohio is actually further east than WV. South and south central Ohio are still part of the Appalachian foothills for quite a few miles into Ohio. It's Appalacia and the traffic came from Ohio to WV via route 40 national road via that suspension bridge which was the only way to get a wagon or a vehicle across the river that was no floatable across the river.
Oh yes, geographically WV is definitely an interesting state. At this time my only experience in West Virginia was within the panhandles, so I make my statements based upon the location through which I travel that day.
Great input! I agree that there can be two correct pronunciations depending on the geographic area in which one is raised. That’s the beauty of dialectal variety. Of course though as a northerner traveling south, I’m not going to grasp the local pronunciation until I learn from others, thus I default to my own.
If you would really like to learn about the history of Watertown NY and surrounding areas you should do a video about Sackets Harbor NY. With out it there would be no Watertown, and Chicago, IL. Sackets Harbor also played a significant role in the War of 1812.
I signed up to be an extra in TV & Film and accepted a job for something called Project: Stellar Vortex. We parked our cars inside of the graveyard 'hollywood forever' at 4am or 5am and it was pitch black. Then we all got on a bus and ended up inside of Paramount Studios, working on Dr. Strange 2 w/ Sam Raimi & Benedict Cumberbatch. --My favorite part was dressing up as a NYPD Officer for my first time and getting to be closest to the camera. (small clip on my channel called 'first movie as background')
Was a little bit too difficult to find the right combination of affordable campsites and appropriate timing back in 2021. I’ll have you know that my follow-up New England trip of 2022 does in fact include Massachusetts’ debut on the channel!
I stand corrected, I made the assumption that since Shakers were celibate they basically were dying off but they actually made the decision to not take any new members, sad since there are many people that may find their way of life fulfilling. Maybe someone needs to start a new sect of Shakers~
As for the monastery grounds, its landscaping, architecture and art, recognizably Mediterranean, Roman, baroque Spanish. Outside of it, the surrounding area recognizably Anglo-American.
Man you made a small huge mistake on minute 5:48 America did not declared its independence from Britain. America was dominated by Spain. What you may be referring to was this small piece of a east coast territory, property of native Americans that was invaded by Anglo-Saxon individuals. This territory were 13 colonies of white individuals that were treated as second class citizens by British rule. Those 13 colonies declared independence from British rule. But America a big continent remained under Spanish rule. Small huge mistake to get mixed up America with the United States. Once again on minute 10:16 America had many Caminos reales not only the two you talk about that went up to northern Mexico. Dicho eso, bienvenido a Alta California, Que disfrutes tu estancia.
The fact that you are able to infer the exact historical territory from me saying “America” is a great example of colloquial semantics generally being understood by most citizens of the US to talk about history or geopolitics. Of course we’re talking about the 13 British colonies on the east coast, but when one has very limited time to introduce the historical setting for an area, let alone set forth a dialogue for one particular destination within a 25+ stop journey, I have more important and geographically relevant matters to address in my oratory delivery. Thus, I’m going to make the active decision to cater my language towards what is a widely recognized name for the purpose of simple expression. It’s not the worst idea to argue about the semantics of the name “America” and I do acknowledge the historical points you’ve brought up, but most Americans will implicitly understand that “America” refers to what the United States is or was, so I’m not going to apologize for that. If the message gets across then my use of language has done its job.
…and yes, I’ve heard there are several Camino Reals. Those were the two others I’ve heard the most about so it felt fair to include those as the most prominent. Thank you for your well wishes.
I wish Josh Kelty was an advocate against domestic violence rather than an advocate of domestic violence. I wish he would do his job rather than abuse his position to get men off!
THANK YOU for doing a video on my favorite place in Montana, a.k.a "Hell frozen over", especially during wintertime! To find fossils, speak to the locals, they know people who know where the fossils are in that park! The Glendive Museum on the northeast side of town has much information concerning dinosaurs. You are the FIRST outsider who pronounces the park's name ALMOST correctly! As a Native Glendivian, the park's name is pronounced as "Maw KO (long O sound) She Kuh.", not "maw kawsh she kuh".
Knowing that what's on film here may or may not be still around due to the damage from the tornado, it's weird to think of this video now as a time capsule of sorts. Sadly many historic buildings have been devastated, so I heard. I really can't give any concrete information as this was filmed in July of 2022 and I haven't been to Oklahoma since. Hopefully whatever damage is dealt to this dear place can be restored with the strength of the community.
This place had tremendous potential in the days before the automobile; one of THE starting points for many backcountry westward routes in early American times
