I love this. But why didn't anyone get him a microphone and do a slide show. So much information. No pictures shown?

Walking into this cold, not knowing what the content of those textbooks were, from the viewpoint of 2024 and especially over the past several years, can someone look at the sign @9:57 and say with a straight face that proved to be wrong? We've neglected several generations and bankrolled the ideology mills of both education and media to convince those generations to self destruct --- to either let themselves rot or to burn the whole of their society down.

Good job to whoever is trying to janny the comments. With the power of hindsight, do you think those that "fought for free speech" by advocating subversion of the culture would do the same now for anything trying to subvert the Current Year order? Or was it all just a song and dance in the moment, a means to have their team on top once the culture was undermined.

Tyrant: Parents uniting in the interests of their children = 'mob rule'.

It is darn sad that innovation results in job loss. Same thing still going on in more and more sectors of our economy.

Very thankful to find this video.

This is very long and drawn out video,but good information. I grew up in north fork hollow off indian ridge. My dad grew up in hemphill during the depression and worked in the caples shaft mine,at algoma,and at us steel at Gary. My maternal grandfather died in a roof fall in excelsior in 1941. I've never worked in the mines,but made lots of grouting resin for them.

1 year later in Coalwood, Homer Hickam blows up his mother's fence with a model rocket.

I wish I could have seen the U.S.S. West Virginia in real life. My grandfather received his purple heart whilst serving on board. What an incredible ship and Crew.

2021- Hi from Brasil. Thank you

No doubt about it, as hard as times were, life in general was so much better back then. You notice how much happier people seemed to be ? This film is a gem.

It's such a shame that downtowns throughout America have become like ghost towns compared to years ago. I grew up in Newark N J and I remember downtown Newark being so crowded you almost couldn't move until about 10 pm. Now, it's alot less busy and after 6 pm it's pretty much deserted.

,am sure there was a lot of movement in the county,has to be to cross from one battle to others, my Grandpa was Marshall Floyd Addair, as you can see two Gen'l's one VA, and the other KY, his family and most all in the county served with those men early. So I need help and answers. This video is 1/4 in and already in the 1880's sigh it's been frustrating for 38 yrs IAM 59.now...... It's a honorable history, and proud,it should not be skipped. Marshall hiway is named for not John Marshall,but Humphrey Marshall. So idk ? It's as important as Missouri and Kansas. Frank & Jesse James, Hatfield & McCoy, But those are After math, this I want is this counties involvement during the end of VA, and Birth of WVA, I don't care as much about Wheeling,nor Logan,or Pike KY, it's wrote to Death. McDowell is getting skipped,bc I feel the fact is the Federal soldier's was scared to cross it in deapth. What are y'all's thoughts on it.

-- im having a hard time typing phone keeps hidding my key board,(540) 339 -8160 is my business and personal #. If you contact me leave a voicemail or text and clear who it is. Too many gotta screen calls etc. But you put a super interesting comment up, and seem to be knowledgeable about McDowell, and old Tazewell. I have wanted to prepare a book on the war in McDowell bc it seems covered all around with out regaurd to the new county. I

Kathy IAM a a descendant of the Lester's,my grandmother on Mom's side her mother was Louise Lester I have not traced her,she married a Wayne Deskins he taught school I'm told,his father was James ( Jim) served 16th VA Cav, Hawkins Co,I know he left Granny's Mom, and took her only sister, story I'm told he told he was going to buy a saddle, never returned,my Granny seem her " Mommy' when she was on her death bed,she was old lady and I have heard Granny who's name is Cloy, spelled like that,by the way,she asked if she knew her she replied why sure your my Cloy I'd know you any place. It's sorta sad, her sister was always Luly, to me, she was the baby of the two,they both married Adair's My Grandpa spelled it with two D's I suppose that was a change done from one of three brothers, who came from Ky, bf the War,with the Federal Government, Moses, they're buried up on Short Ridge, cemetery all 3 there father was John A, 8th Governor over there in Blue Grass, anyway he rode Moses,did with V A Witcher, and they black flagged some early in that horrible time,so he changed his name a bit, brothers stayed with him, because Gen'l Grant wouldn't let former Partisans to go into KY,MD,VA,NC,or TN, he married in Tazewell in 1857, anyway to Sarah Mullins, also burried up there ---

the Tustins and related families?

It's great pal. It is!

I had some correspondence with Mr. Bransby, who produced these travel films for Esso to promote auto travel. I have several of the films he made, but not this one!

I was born in Hurricane the year they started on the W.VA. turnpike. Aug. 18 1952 is when I was born.

Love to go back to those days when there was very little traffic, now it's a zoo....

Poor old WeeVee. Such a travesty that at least one of the Pearl ships couldn’t have been saved.

About 20 years later, it was one of the deadliest roads in the country.

What information do you have on the Moore family? They were listed as free people of color.

My Dad, Joe Ballengee, talking about his Father, Lanty. Love hearing Dad's voice once again.

WEST VIRGINIA deserved saving. She was a damn important ship historically and a damn interesting shship from a construction standpoint. Fully modern, welded superstructure and fire control on top of a stout riveted hull, bolsterd by enormous welded and streamlined torpedo bulges. Turbo-electric drive ahead of its time. 16 inch guns. Pearl Harbor survivor who wreaked vengeance at Surigao Strait in the last battleship to battleship action. An amazing ship.

We will never forget BB 48!

Why do you all no longer have the film, "Buffalo Creek: An Act of Man"? I notice that, now, we have to pay to watch it on UA-cam. 'Seems rather strange given the topic and material. It's hardly the same thing as a blockbuster movie. It should be a public service to show this film...so that everyone can be made aware what happened. I bet the people who died wouldn't approve of Others making money on their deaths.

A large portion of what is McDowell County was owned by two brothers my many times great grandfathers Abner Hulen Lester and Thomas Mastin Lester. They moved to the area in the late 1700s during the Shawnee raids in present day Tazewell County. There are deeds in Tazewell County that supports this information.

Of all the battleships that have been made into museums I can’t understand why the USS WEST VIRGINIA wasn’t saved. I mean what the hell did the USS MASSACHUSETTS do that made her more worth saving than Wee Vee? It just doesn’t make sense.

The future looked bright in 1932...

I reside in southwestern Ontario, Canada. My Grandmother's people were held by the McCoy's, Franklin County. They came to Canada via The Underground Railroad. In the near future, I plan to visit the West Virginia archives to do further research. I can be contacted at eaugirl.tlm@gmail.com

Colonel Sanders?

lived there in 1966 fun times,lot of hard work but fun......stayed elks hotel...

When the family would make trips down to Bluefield from Bridgeport or Morgantown in the 70s, my dad flat out refused to take the Turnpike. He'd laugh to hear how this film touts its safety.

R.I.P Great great great Grandpa Caleb M Casto.

Charleston. I am coming back to you.

neat video, curiosity brought me here.

The Hatter family were enslaved and lived in Charles Town, WV as well as the Thompson families. Many of whom went on to become Doctors, Lawyers , Teachers and Princiiples of Colleges If interested contact me @ jaegray@ymail.com

WV accents are really different now.

It is so sad what has happened to Charleston, it is like a ghost town now compared to this

Interesting video. Is this company still operating today. I'm interested in Wheeling Steel, especially Wheeling's galvanized sheet metal company called SofTite. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks for the great review of the history which I so love and which fills my conversations, some of the very best conversations I have. I am so appreciative of YOUR appreciation for the community and it's past and for the opportunity I had to put my toe into the saline waters of Malden as a VISTA. Hope all is well with you and yours. Martha Willis.

astonishing fact's gthat are critical to more fully understanding the dynamic's of slavery, and relation's between black's white's and American Indian's. understand better? even for me.

nice

I just bought the book - a very good read!

I lurv 1920s/30's civil planes..:)

The West Virginia Turnpike is a very aesthetically pleasant route. When it was a two lane undivided roadway, impatient motorists made fatal mistakes when attempting to pass. Thanks for posting this video.
