Do you like history? American history? New England history? No? Tough luck. If you've read this far, you're trapped reading to the end. There is no escape from this blog post. You'll have to upvote and comment before you can close your browser, change tabs, or anything. Just take my word for it, and don't try to prove me wrong, because honestly, I'm hoping sounding authoritative will be enough here.
In contrast to my baseless claim, Dime Store Adventures adds source citations throughout his videos. You might want to take a look. His most recent video (as of this post) is a story that starts with a memorial stone and then goes off the rails.
Then there's this video that's just about a stone wall which absolutely does not veer off on tangents about agriculture, stonework, and colonial history at all.
In other videos, he tries to follow old guidebooks to see what remains to be seen after so much time has passed. It goes better than expected, to be honest.
If you're a fan of history, folklore, and points of interest across America (especially concentrated in the former 13 colonies), take a look. he covers all manner of other topics as well, and represents a kind of independent historical storytelling and exploration I deeply appreciate.
