Tell me more? I'm about 7000 casts in on this 10000 casts legend. Canoeing the SusQ irl rn. NY to the Bay or Bust baby! Hope your hooking one right now!
just bought a 4 acre place on the pequea creek a mile upstream. I love my new old (1750) home The Holtwood dam fattens the river. Fantastic location rich in history, best decision i've made in recent memory Thank you
Im surprised no mention of Danville, and its 6000 year old ell and fish weir, built by a far more advanced people then ever thought. Thats like 1500 years prior to the pyramids
saya sangat tertarik dengan video tentang sungai susquehanna, saya guru geografi SMA di Indonesia,,channel saya GURU CAKAP (GURU CAKAP CHANNEL),,,saya tunggu video berikutnya,, terima kaish
If you read the Delaware Indian stories that have been passed down, in the 1500's there was a drought, and they and the Susquehannock's moved northward. As they were passing through the area of the Shank's Ferry people they asked them if they could pass and they said yes but when they saw how many were coming through they suddenly said no and a war began between the Susquehannock's and the Shenks Ferry. They have archealogical sights that are listed as Susquehannock villages but they know that some Shenk's Ferry people were living with them because each had their own pottery and burial practices. The Susquehannock's believed in cremation but the Shenk's Ferry people buried their dead under their homes. As to the idea that Susquehannock's were tall people, I believe it is the Shenk's Ferry people that were tall and the Susquehannock's took their women in after they won the war and bred with them creating tall Susquehannock's. That would explain why the graves of the Susquehannock's that they do find are not tall in stature but we know that some of them were from recorded history.
Awesome job! I grew up in the Wyoming valley and canoed large sections of the river. I enjoyed your video very much and will be looking at your web site. Thank you
22:56 Took an Intro to GIS class 15years ago. Your genuine excitement and enthusiasm brought me back there. Such an amazing tool! Really only limited by one's interests and imagination. My capstone project at Corning Community (attempted) to illustrate what a zombie induced mass exodus of NYC would look like over time. Specifically, how soon they would reach the Finger Lakes region 😂 but i didnt click on your excellent presentation for the GIS nerd-core! Im paddling south out of Cayuga lake NY tomorrow on a solo canoe adventure "attempt" and its "The Chesapeake or Bust!". Such an amazing history! Awesome show, great job!
I was born and raised in Havre de Grace. Now I am 67. I spent a lot of time on the Susquehanna and the Chesapeake. Good fishing, crabbing and camping. Many, many good times
You did a wonderful job putting all this fascinating information into this well prepared presentation. It's inspiring to go on a drive now and look up some of those places that are so heavy with historical events. Thank you!
It would be interesting to do maps of various Montana Historical books like "Tough Trip Through Paradise" and "My Life As An Indian" showing where various events took place. Something more detailed then the book maps. Include pictures perhaps.
She just so happened to skip over the very significant events that led to Sullivan's march. There were two battles or massacres that happened. The Wyoming and cherry valley massacres. For someone who is so astute this is frankly untruthful.
@@likeahawkk they weren't. The land was bought twice off of the Iroquois. The loyalists in the area were arrested and sent for trial to c9nnecticut which is where the court for the area was. They were released from there went to fort Niagara. They joined the loyalist rangers who took part in the attacks. The numbers of the attackers were as follows. Around 400-500 Iroquois and 400-500 loyalists. They actually burned pretty much the entire frontier in NE Pennsylvania. This area gave a lot of food to the revolutionary army and men. During the March the army found at least 4 people who were captured a year before the massacres which indicates limited raiding.
