Sherman's Headquarters & John Bell Hood's Leg | History Traveler Episode 96 

A clear example of "one foot in the grave."

As an Englishman, I've always found American history to be my favourite subject, and these uploads are awesome for someone like me, so thank you 👍

Imagine the conversations that took place in that building

This is a very interesting video! That house is well built and full of history. I’ve been to the battle field but never knew about this headquarters. It is wonderful that to see Hood’s leg grave. I especially like the drone views. Well done! 🎶🌺

So glad that these historical place are still around. Just makes me want to learn more about the Civil War that happened in my area. Thanks for another amazing episode.

I love museum tours but my all time favorite is historic houses related to the Civil War. That time in history is my addiction. Thank you for going into such detail when you are inside these buildings. And the leg grave...lol

Always amazed at how small structures of the time seem by today's standards.

Very interesting, thank you. its also probably about time I researched who this guy Sherman was. I think that perhaps if you are American you take for granted that eveybody knows but if you live on the other side of the world its an absolute mystery. That's why I love this channel, it actually teaches me so much about American History.

You have chosen a fantastic historical event to cover. Thank you

I wish I had known about this place when I was down in Georgia! Great content. I just bought one of those Western & Atlantic rails for my collection!

I’m really enjoying your work! Keep up the good work

Once again, wonderfully done. After reading Shelby Foote's books on the civil war it is so cool to see these places come alive.

I wonder if they gave his leg full military honors. I think they did that for Stonewall’s arm.

Always a great video, sir. Thank you.

Great video! Such a wonderful channel!

As always, informative and so interesting. Loved it!

Thank you for your videos on the US civil war. I’m from the UK and we didn’t learn much about the civil war back when I attended school, and your videos have taught me a lot of fascinating history!

Thank you for another wonderful video. You take us places not all will get to visit. I love history and appreciate your travels so very much. I live in Pennsylvania and have visited Gettysburg many times. Never can see it all. These places are so humbling and have a feeling all their own. Loved the music you selected for this video! Be safe!

John Bell Hood is my 5th great uncle. Love watching history on my ancestress. Thank you for sharing this vid.

Such a neat and hilarious twist with the resting place for General Hood’s leg. Really enjoyed this.

Great job, thank you.

Another very interesting and informative video....well done! Thanks, Andrew

I am always interested in history. And this vid makes history more interesting! Thanks for sharing this!

“Sherman Necktie” love it 🇺🇸 Great Vlog especially Hoods Leg Grave. Epic 👍 Thank you for sharing your adventure with us ✌️

I’m going to put this on my bucket list! What a cool story!!!

How Brave, Tough and Amazing. Mr. Hood and the other Soldiers could teach us a Lot!! 👼😘🙏👏

Plumbing with no plumbing and the leg burial, you have to chuckle. Great work on this one very entertaining. Be safe and take care.

Sadness, humor, and irony, all in one lump. I'll just keep soaking up the history, as long as you have these videos Thank you, never get enough of you.

Excellent video. Thank You.

Another fine episode. Glad to get the history lessons and actually see where it happened!

Born and raised in Rome, GA about 45 minutes South of there. Northwest Georgia has some amazing history and I’m glad you’re showing it on your channel to so many people.

Love this channel. Love the presentation. Keep bringing it brother.

Great presentation as usual. I was taken on vacation in 1957 by my uncle because my mom was have my baby brother. We visited Chattanooga, Lookout Mt. and Chickamouga Battlefields when I was 5. I took my own son when he was 5 in 1976 and my grandson when he was 10 in 2015. I have found memories of each trip and I believe that each started our love of American History. The grandson is now taking Advancement Placement W. History and will take AP American History next year. You have worked on your craft and it's getting better with each video.

That's so cool see John Bell Hood and General Sherman in the same house and his leg in the backyard wow thank you for this video

Greetings sir, what a wonderful video and wow am I ever glad that I stumbled upon your channel! I grew up in Chattanooga for 10 years and now live about an hour east of Atlanta. For the last eight years I have made weekly vlogs of my trips to historical sites just like you do...I make the videos because I love sharing my enthusiasm of history with others and feel that if you just visit the spots where history took place, it really comes alive. But I must admit it's been rather lonely feeling like the only history vlogger on RU-vid! So you can imagine my extreme enthusiasm when I found your Andersonville videos in my research of the site (I'm hoping to travel there soon)...then I found all of your other videos....been binging several :D :D :D....it's been really cool to see you publish videos from my home turf. I've been to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, been to the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and several other sites you've filmed. Other of your videos are of places I know of but haven't filmed yet. I've visited Tunnel Hill (where you filmed this one) but not yet to film it. Anyways, I just wanted to comment to say: thanks for the great video, and channel. It's absolutely amazing to find a channel just like mine, now I have so many fun new videos to watch! You mentioned Chickamauga several times in this video, and I hope in your trip you managed to stop. It truly is an amazing place. Whether you did or didn't, here is the link to one of my videos of Chickamauga that I think you would enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7IJsohYD5vA.html I'm not posting new videos currently, but am filming a new batch to hopefully get back to regularly posting after Christmas. In the meantime, if you ever want to watch more history vlogs that are not your own, feel free to check out my channel! :) ~Austin/tnphotobug

Very cool video. Thank you for keeping our history, good and bad, alive for future generations to learn from.

That is a pretty cool place Ive never heard of. Very interesting and great job!

Two amazing stories! Thanks.

Wow. . .an interesting video with loads of history. . .the way they have the house set up is awesome. . .helps add to the information (especially for we visual learners). Thank you for posting this and be safe going to your next adventure. . .

Your channel has grow so much good on ya !!

Very good video. I must admit, those mannequins startled me at first! Lol ! Those bone saws look like modern day mitre box saws, to me anyway. The blood stained pew was a chilling sight.

Love the history. And your vids out standing

Amazing as usual. Love the knowledge.. Thanks bro!

Amazing video and information!!!

I must say your video is always educational. As a kid growing up in the Caribbean I was always interested in the American civil war

Oh the stories those walls and church pew could tell. Another great video!

That was awesome history. The civil war has so much history behind it.

I drove by Hoods home today. In mt. Sterling , Ky. He wss born in Owensville Ky 12 miles east . His father was a Doctor. Thanks,

I am glad to see history being kept alive. The old cliche’ still rings true “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it”. I have been on the front lines of contemporary history, and even now people forget. Thank you for keeping history alive for those of us who served, suffered, and paid dearly both past and present. Those who do the bidding of our Governments know this so well.

Awesome JD!!!!

Once again a great video enjoy all your videos

Awesome history as always! Awesome to see how they did those rails.. we know that they did it here on the western front as well during the second word war. Smashing guns around trees and what not. Thanks for sharing

I’m just now finding this on your channel. Thank you for showing where my 5th Great Uncle’s leg is and where he recovered from the amputation. This was very interesting

Thank you for these 👍

Great job very interesting. Thanks

Very Well Done Trip , Awesome History Re- Traveled and hands on teaching of what it was like then . You will not find this sort of learning in our school 's today , folks !

This is such an awesome channel. My granddad watches this with my brother and me.

love all your videos

Fascinating. Thanks!

Another good episode.

Very interesting. Thanks

Another amazing video!

Amazing they both ended up in this one house Loved the story behind it you gave us Thankyou for another great video

Thank you for sharing your adventures so we could also see real history. Bravo Zulu

I am not being critical but this house is in Tunnel Hill GA. It is four miles or so from the Tunnel Hill exit of I -75 south of Ringgold just north of Dalton. The Tunnel of Tunnel Hill was a famous spot on the Western &Atlantic railroad. It is the Tunnel made famous in the Great Locomotive Chase movie starring Fess "Daniel Boone" Parker. This is one of the richest Civil War destinations anywhere. It is truly a cant miss place. I enjoyed this episode as I do😅 all your work and channel.

Love the video thank you sir

Another great video!

Great vlod JD. Loved it 👍🏻😎

History underground is where history comes alive. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are great!

Keep it up JD!

Awesome as always! I live 10 miles from there and didn’t know it existed. I know what I’m doing this weekend!

Incredible!

Enjoyed the video. Thanks now maybe I’ve seen everything a grave for a leg. Very interesting I live in Texas where Fort Hood is located.

Great video 👍 and I really enjoyed it thank you for Sharing your amazing videos to us viewers and I hope everyone has amazing day today

Hall of fame content. I've enjoyed every single one so far.

Now that’s a really interesting video. Thanks.

Incredible to see where General Hood was recovering

I was waiting for the gentleman at the desk to give us a tour! 😂🤷‍♀️ I so enjoy your videos! I settle in, knowing I’m in for a great story. I wouldn’t mind if they were longer. 😬

This was cool, Thank You..

That Hood and Sherman stayed in the same house is something I didn't know, or overlooked in all my readings of the civil war. Or old age forgetfulness. Either way, you got it covered. As you say, pretty cool. I do remember reading about Hood and his leg. Nice video, thanks.

Fantastic video, thank you! I'm now a new subscriber :)

Wauw! Incredible place! Totally missed this video.... Better late then never 😄

Another great video

Awesome video as always man...these places are always so neat to see especially as a military history buff. If these places could talk...or do they 😉

I’m a new sub and totally hooked! Awesome content!

New subscriber here ! I love your history video's !

Very Good..........Thanks...

Highly recommend: "Soldering the Civil War Diary of Rice C. Bull". Very informative read. Mr. Bull, of the Union Army, participated in the Sherman campaign in the South and then back again to the North. He was also in the Western front before that. His time in the war is an amazing story.

Great video, as usual. General Hood lost the use of his left arm during the Battle of Gettysburg, so by the time he defended Atlanta he only had the use of his left leg and right arm. He died at age 48 of Yellow Fever, shortly after his wife, leaving behind 10 orphaned children.

Great video! Should have shown the railroad tunnel while you were there! Used to reenact there every September

Thank you for a very interesting and informative article on the Civil War ! If you looking the comments one mentioned another soldier losing his leg ! I made a comment about it there that you might like to read ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever or wherever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

Great video as always, as soon as I saw the story about the leg it made me think of the bloody coat sleeve at the National Civil War Museum. Belonged to Pickett if I remember correctly, from the battle of Gaines Mill.

Man if you want to listen to endless overboosted background music have you come to the right place!

Incredible History

I’ve lived in tunnel hill all my life and it’s a great place with a lot of history, but it’s not ringgold. Great videos keep them coming !!

The battle of Ringgold Gap was supposed to be my great great’s last battle as he was put into the Veteran’s Reserve Corps, but when General Early approached Washington in June of 1864, it was decided that my great great’s VRC regiment needed to help defend the city. His regiment distinguished themselves in the defense of Washington City.

Awesome as always. If you ever get a chance to come farther south, Sandersville, GA, there is a house called "The Brown House" that Sherman stayed in on his way to the sea. The table he had dinner at and a couch that he slept on are still in there. There is also a nice collection of war relics in there including a display of relics from my personal collection.

I really enjoy your videos. The background music on this one grabbed me as well. May I ask who was playing? Thanks for taking us along on your journeys. Be safe!

Thanks.
