Dan needs to write a book. You guys need to carry an umbrella.

It’s such a privilege to have a historian so well versed in local history and to have him know where references are. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting topic ! I grew up in central Fl. At some point before I was born a farmer was plowing a field near the cemetery and turned up a grave. After investigation it was determined to be a Union soldier because of buttons and insignia found with the remains The cemetery association allowed the deceased soldier to be interred in free space just inside the fence. I was told about it when visiting our family plot but haven't noticed since I was last there. I wonder when the soldier passed as there were many skirmishes during the Seminole war. Never the less he is Unknown His family probably never knew what happened to him .

Tell Mr. Dan, we could listen to him tell stories all day long!😀

I could listen to Dan all day! Love this channel and Byrd farm 😊

That cemetery reminds me of the one my sister is helping get cleaned up near Tyler, Texas. Universe Cemetery. As a long-time historian and historical author, she was able to help a local black historian compile the research to get a state historical marker and publicity on the condition of the large black cemetery. It also is landlocked and actually owned by a prominent family, who has now allowed regular access for the clean-up process. One Saturday a month, people gather to retake the cemetery from the woods and brambles. Some very prominent blacks are buried there, including state legislators, educators, and business people.

I love hearing the history behind these gravesites! Thank you Dan and Robert

Have you and Dan ever considered doing Historical Tours? I would fly from Australia and pay to do one. You both have so much knowledge.

[gloriahayes]

I declare, I live just on the other side of the State, but I LOVE Dan's inflections and mannerisms when he talks ! I could sit and listen to that man read a dictionary !

[sharonparker]

Dan's knowledge needs to be transcribed into written words, in the event that the internet ever goes down. Thank you both, and other Robert, for all you do.

I am amazed by how noisy the rain was at the beginning of the video. Those dry leaves really crackle when the drops hit them. The Unnion grave, while it was hidden from the Raiders, must have been marked somehow, since it has a government-issued headstone. Wasn't the Byrd property once part of the Whitehead plantation? I'm looking forward to seeing part II.

I love it when Dan joins and tells us about history…

[brendaz]

William and Charles Whitehead are my family! This is just so delightful to hear about them.

[susanbellefeuille]

Thanks for the history lesson Robert and Dan. Very interesting indeed.

[angelavorhees]

It was so good to see you and Mr. Dan out exploring. Look forward to part 2. I am layed up with a broken leg for 3 months, so keep the videos coming. God bless.

It's mind-blowing to think that had somebody not written about these things, and if somebody had not saved the ephemera, the knowledge would have been lost.
