Many Americans may be unaware that without the French and Indian War, there would have been no Revolutionary War. In this episode, we're traveling to central Maine to explore the site of Ft. Halifax, which holds the oldest surviving wooden blockhouse in the United States. And we try a lobster grilled cheese sandwich! Always learning!

Your spotlighting under developed historical sites should light a fire under state congressional leadership to invest in making these more accessible tourist destinations. Do you ever contact state historic or preservation societies and governors with your videos? You’re really doing a kind of survey of under appreciated national assets, a national service to our country. And frankly, the kind of thing that can bring all Americans together in a sense of patriotic pride at a time when our nation could really use this. In this way, your videos heal our sick national soul. Thank you.

Lobster used to be considered lesser meat-just ask Jim Gaffigan but here is a better source "But as railway travel spread in the late 1800s, train operators served lobster as if it were a luxury menu item to inland customers who didn’t know the “insect” food was considered trash.Through the 1940s, you could buy lobster in cans, like tuna or Spam, and it was just as inexpensive and inelegant. During World War II, lobster wasn't rationed and was shipped in cans to nourish soldiers on the front. In fact, lobster was cheaper than canned beans, and people fed it to their pets. But by the 1950s, lobster had regained its place on the menu of status symbols. Movie stars were photographed dining out on the delicacy. Restaurants began serving it as a treat. Prices rose."

Actually George Washington started the French & Indian War all by himself. He was a Captain of militiamen and came upon Fort Necessity. It was occupied by French military. Washington’s men forced them to surrender and leave the area. It all snowballed after that. It is located just north of the Maryland border in South Western Pennsylvania. Fort Necessity is still there, it’s a National Monument.

@@TheHistoryUnderground I shared the link to the Ft. Pitt blockhouse on your Facebook page. It is from the same era but probably a little "younger". It is literally on the point in Pittsburgh, again at the confluence of two major rivers (forming the Ohio) as you mentioned in the video as to why it was so critical in the day. Fort Necessity and Braddock's grave is less than an hour and a half from there along the National Road (US Route 40). Jumonville Glen is there as well, where the first shots were fired that started the war.

I have just discovered your channel and have been binge watching it. You have a great show and I have really like the civil war series. I do have an idea for you. If you ever get to central New York state there is a reconstructed Revolutionary War fort in the city of Rome NY. It is most notable for the siege of Fort Stanwick where General Herkimer was would and died a few days later. The siege changed the the war by making the English change their mind on dividing the colonies. Rome NY was also the home of Griffiss Air Force base that housed B52's among other planes. You get two wars in one city.

@rebeccadarr2148 2 года назад

As usual, I really enjoyed this video. Just a suggestion on an old fort that ties to the 7 years war, but was never really used, however used heavily in the revolution. There's an old tabby wall fort and colonial village on the Ashley River, near Charleston South Carolina, Colonial Fort Dorchester. The fort and powder magazine (which was built and reenforced in the french and indian war), ruins remain there and visible for the most part. There's even an old church bell tower complete with old cemetery on the site. If you're ever looking for a cool filming location around the south, check this one out for sure. Be ready for a ton of history all around in Charleston though. You can spend several weeks there filming everyday and honestly only scratch the surface. Love your videos, love the channel. Keep up the great work!!!

What market price in Maine means is The price per pound of real Maine lobster before taxes (and tips) can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the lobster, the time of year, and the location where you are buying it. Typically between $10.00-15.00 per lb. Thats what I found for research.

@kathleens.laroche754 2 года назад

Thanks for taking us to the blockhouse. Very cool. However, that a restaurant in Maine is serving lobster in a sandwich with melted cheese is downright sacrilegious! You have not had lobster, pronounced lobstuh, until you have had a whole lobster, which you would you crack open and eat piece by piece dipped in drawn butter. If you ever go back to Maine, find out a ballpark market price beforehand and sacrifice whatever it takes to have a real lobster experience when you get there. It will be worth it!

There is another French and Indian War fort. It's called Ft. Necessity. It was built as a last ditch by a colonial officer named Geo. Washington. They have rebuilt the fort on the exact spot. I've been there several times. It was the ONLY time Washington surrendered. If you got down the road from there, U.S. route 40 West, you will see where they buried General Braddock, who died on his way back from I believe Ft. Pitt.

It was built as a defensive fort, star shaped, for possible Indian uprising. They do French and Indian War reenactments there as well. It did see some action during the Civil War as a protective measure to guard the C&I Canal. FYI.

Believe it or not, lobster was originally considered to be food for the lower class. From what I remember, rich people decided they liked it, and there went the price, right through the roof.

Can tell you are a hunter! Backstrap fried in beer and butter. Yum. Maine can keep the lobster but the scenery was stunning. Thanks for another great video. You take us places we cannot visit. Be safe young man.

I loved it up there. Can't wait to go back.

I prefer the Lobster Rolls in Boston. Yum. And, quick note, the most recent version of "Last of the Mohicans" was not filmed in Maine or New England. It was filmed in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. ;-)

Correct. Beautiful country.

There's another fort, in a town actually called Fort Fairfield, Maine. It's my late Mother's hometown, on the Canadian border in Aroostook County, Maine. Not sure if it's the actual or a recreation, but the origins of the Fort go back to the French and Indian Wars, and there is a cannon in front of the library that was used in the Aroostook War. Great little place to visit, with a lot of history. Also, you will think you literally traveled back in time compared to Portland. Speaking of that, I work in Portland every day, I'm here right now. Notice you didn't really give Becky's a shout out, must not have enjoyed it that much, lol. Next time you make it up that way give me a shout and I'll guide you to the good places. Enjoy your videos, the Gettysburg ones are downright immersive.

Dude! You shoulda had a lobstah roll! Maine is always chilly. Maine only has two seasons, winter and three months of tough sledding!

@TheHistoryUnderground 3 года назад

Ha! I heard that the lobster roll had mayo in it, which was a limiting factor for me.

Good Video, you should travel to Bedford PA. There is a lot of history here

I am not much of a seafood person but I would have tried the sandwich...the blockhouse is in very good condition

@TheHistoryUnderground 3 года назад

Yeah, I was surprised. Pretty cool structure.

@Rekkit_71 3 года назад

Hi Impressive indeed ! Glad to see that the information panel about the fort is translated into French.

@TheHistoryUnderground 3 года назад

Glad you liked it!

@gojl5567 3 года назад

Lobster in Maine is a lot cheaper than the rest of the country, and absolutely worth it.

@TheHistoryUnderground 3 года назад

Yeah, definitely something different for me.
