Speaker:on us and our personal journey through
Speaker:YouTube as we continue to explore record
Speaker:and share our history walks with you
Speaker:now before Jen we get to today's podcast
Speaker:topic I want to ask for reviews on Apple
Speaker:podcasts uh we haven't gotten any in a
Speaker:while we do batch record these and if
Speaker:you don't have an Apple device you can

Speaker:Apple podcast reviews always help and if
Speaker:you leave us a review four or five stars
Speaker:shoot if you leave us a one star review
Speaker:I'll read it here right here on the
Speaker:podcast but also don't forget to check
Speaker:out our other podcast the history Buzz
Speaker:which we're going to be Reviving soon
Speaker:where we interview folks while chatting
Speaker:about history over a couple of drinks
Speaker:and let the conversation wander where it
Speaker:may
Speaker:[Music]
Speaker:now unless you've been living under a
Speaker:rock since 2015 you will likely know
Speaker:some of the songs from the Broadway
Speaker:musical Hamilton I know Jen does
Speaker:but did you know that you don't have to
Speaker:pay a ton of money for a Broadway ticket
Speaker:to see what Hamilton saw
Speaker:or to walk in Hamilton's footsteps so
Speaker:Jen what are we talking about today
Speaker:we're going to talk about the Battle of
Speaker:Yorktown the Battle of Yorktown so why
Speaker:are we talking about the Battle of
Speaker:Yorktown today because we actually
Speaker:visited the battle site in Yorktown
Speaker:Virginia yep so we're going to talk
Speaker:about what that's like to go there and
Speaker:what you can see and some of the
Speaker:similarities between the Hamilton song
Speaker:and what's actually there for you to see
Speaker:yeah so
Speaker:um yeah it's easy for us to get to so
Speaker:where is the Yorktown Battlefield so
Speaker:Yorktown Battlefield is in the city of
Speaker:York it's one of those early colonial
Speaker:cities
Speaker:um it the city was called York first and
Speaker:it was named after York
Speaker:England yeah and and today it's in
Speaker:between like Norfolk and DC yes and it
Speaker:was settled in 1691 so it's one of those
Speaker:Old Colonial towns but it's in that
Speaker:historic triangle that we talked about
Speaker:in the Williamsburg um podcast so
Speaker:there's a neat little triangle of
Speaker:History here in this southern western
Speaker:part Southern eastern part of Virginia
Speaker:with Williamsburg Yorktown and Jamestown
Speaker:all within about 20 miles of each other
Speaker:and they all form like a triangle right
Speaker:yeah we've spent most of our time in one
Speaker:corner of that you know that triangle
Speaker:but
Speaker:um going to Yorktown
Speaker:it was actually more of an experience
Speaker:than I than I realized because it's it
Speaker:covers a lot of land it's really neat
Speaker:and I think people should see it because
Speaker:it does do like a
Speaker:seven mile
Speaker:45 minute
Speaker:kind of Battlefield drive that you can
Speaker:do and you can get the map at the um
Speaker:at the National Park Service yeah
Speaker:Visitor Center but it's free to do the
Speaker:drive and if you get the chart it'll
Speaker:explain everything to you plus there's
Speaker:signs everywhere you stop yeah and you
Speaker:can't really walk in between these sides
Speaker:this is it's absolutely driving you
Speaker:might be able to bike it if you got if
Speaker:you if and if you're bringing family
Speaker:like this would be a bigger kid biking
Speaker:thing but honestly it's most likely it's
Speaker:a driving it's a driving tour and they
Speaker:have like a red route and a yellow route
Speaker:right and the red route is like the
Speaker:British side and the yellow route is the
Speaker:American Revolutionary and then they
Speaker:also have some French
Speaker:so the French were with the Americans
Speaker:okay all right yeah I had to educate
Speaker:Scott as we you do even after I make it
Speaker:even even after I make the video
Speaker:um I just I thought they had some
Speaker:separate French routes too so on the
Speaker:yellow side when you go drive out you'll
Speaker:you'll hit
Speaker:um lafayette's Campground you'll hit
Speaker:rochambeau's Campground then you'll hit
Speaker:George Washington that's yeah that's
Speaker:probably so that's what you remember is
Speaker:they camped separately because they
Speaker:can't they can't put their troops right
Speaker:and George Washington was the furthest
Speaker:out and he's the farthest out because
Speaker:he's the most protected yep right so and
Speaker:so that's where we close the video yeah
Speaker:because I'm so excited to walk in George
Speaker:Washington's footsteps and to be where
Speaker:there's a tent that's in the visitor
Speaker:center that's George Washington's
Speaker:campaign tend and that tenth more than
Speaker:likely was at that spot yeah where we
Speaker:were walking or walking around is that
Speaker:where the surrender or near the
Speaker:discerner battlefield or was that
Speaker:somewhere else no the surrender battle
Speaker:about midway between both of those
Speaker:routes it's not it's
Speaker:interesting it's not specifically on the
Speaker:yellow route it's not specifically on
Speaker:the red route it's kind of where they
Speaker:both converge yeah yeah and that's the
Speaker:surrender field yeah that was that was
Speaker:that to me that was really cool but I
Speaker:think we're kind of jumping ahead so so
Speaker:set the stage for okay for you for the
Speaker:battle here
Speaker:[Music]
Speaker:York the city is on a it's in Eastern
Speaker:Virginia it's on a river it's on York
Speaker:River it's called Yorktown at about the
Speaker:1781 it becomes the epicenter of the
Speaker:Battle of Yorktown so leading up to that
Speaker:it you know the U.S had been at war with
Speaker:England for about six years by the
Speaker:summer of 1781. and then when they you
Speaker:get into Hamilton they're like the
Speaker:Battle of Yorktown 1781 you're like
Speaker:we've been the America's been fighting
Speaker:for six years now
Speaker:um we the first shots are fired in 1775
Speaker:at Congo Lexington and Concord and then
Speaker:you have these hard winters of 1777 1778
Speaker:1779 1780 we did Washington Crossing
Speaker:yeah so these hard Winters that
Speaker:Washington is enduring there's no real
Speaker:they have a few decisive victories but
Speaker:nothing that's really over you know
Speaker:that's winning the battle right
Speaker:so what happens in 1780 is the French
Speaker:send over 5 000 troops and the French
Speaker:are helping America because they're at
Speaker:war with yeah I mean if correct me if my
Speaker:high school history memory is wrong but
Speaker:the French helped us a lot I mean we win
Speaker:because of the friends right and then
Speaker:they're going to have a revolution yeah
Speaker:right after and we're just gonna hang
Speaker:out and we're just gonna watch them kill
Speaker:their monarchy yeah but
Speaker:but so the French come in 1780 and they
Speaker:bring roshambo so Roshan Beau is a
Speaker:general a French General and he's very
Speaker:like like Lafayette he's very
Speaker:um
Speaker:professional good at his job just like
Speaker:Washington so Washington goes to meet
Speaker:him he goes up to Rhode Island to meet
Speaker:him in 1781 and they make this plan and
Speaker:they decide to attack Cornwallis and
Speaker:surprise him George Washington loves
Speaker:this surprise attack right then you
Speaker:think of Washington Crossing he loves
Speaker:this idea of a decisive victory in one
Speaker:location he's he's very single
Speaker:Battlefield focused he's always been
Speaker:that way which is traditional of the of
Speaker:the era and for George Washington if you
Speaker:study George Washington he is a very
Speaker:single battle focused oh really and so
Speaker:he him and um Rochambeau traveled down
Speaker:to Williamsburg in September of 1781 and
Speaker:so that's when I spoke with Lafayette in
Speaker:Williamsburg where did you guys stay
Speaker:yeah on last week's podcast yes so
Speaker:Washington stays at like the with house
Speaker:yeah right and they plan their strategy
Speaker:because like I said they're in close
Speaker:proximity to each other her right and so
Speaker:in September of 17 September 28th
Speaker:actually of 1781 Washington would throw
Speaker:some Rochambeau and Lafayette will
Speaker:travel to York and attack Cornwallis and
Speaker:this takes about three weeks the whole
Speaker:battle is from September 28 1781 and
Speaker:they finally will surrender on October
Speaker:17th yeah and then the whole surrender
Speaker:ceremony happens October 19th
Speaker:of 1781. yeah so
Speaker:this is when right before this happens
Speaker:in the beginning of September the
Speaker:British sent some ships down to try to
Speaker:reinforce York the kind of hearing that
Speaker:these French ships are coming and the
Speaker:French just annihilate them yeah and
Speaker:that's one of their if you go to the
Speaker:visitor center
Speaker:they have a recreation of the HMS Sharon
Speaker:and the kids loved it and you can walk
Speaker:through it yeah that's right that was
Speaker:that was really neat it's really neat so
Speaker:that's a recreation of a British frigate
Speaker:44 gun British frigate that the French
Speaker:sunk right there
Speaker:in the York River yeah it's still there
Speaker:and I think that's the one thing that I
Speaker:remember from my high school about
Speaker:Yorktown and all that stuff like that
Speaker:that and then obviously the battlefield
Speaker:but the French holding them off there
Speaker:yes was like the decisive thing that
Speaker:that kind of turned the tide and and
Speaker:tipped the scales in our favor well
Speaker:that's what happens is the British can't
Speaker:get in to reinforce Cornwallis they go
Speaker:back up to New York and cord Wallace is
Speaker:kind of like okay
Speaker:um I'll give it my best shot but then
Speaker:George Washington is very
Speaker:this is strategic yeah and what he does
Speaker:and we'll talk about it but um
Speaker:Cornwallis just gives up basically so
Speaker:when they get there they start basically
Speaker:Cornwallis is dug in to Yorktown and if
Speaker:you go to Yorktown you will see these
Speaker:Earthworks that that was really yeah
Speaker:they still exist today that was really
Speaker:it was like so again just kind of from
Speaker:from someone who wasn't particularly
Speaker:interested in this right growing up and
Speaker:even in college like again I'm not
Speaker:history is not my my area of particular
Speaker:interest I love doing this with you
Speaker:but when I'm there it was one of those
Speaker:interesting things like I probably never
Speaker:would have gone maybe I would have gone
Speaker:you know by myself but you you bring me
Speaker:out there you bring the kids up we bring
Speaker:the kids out there and being there and
Speaker:like literally walking around the
Speaker:battlefield I love how
Speaker:at the Yorktown Battlefield they they
Speaker:actually don't develop a lot of it they
Speaker:let a lot of it kind of stay open and it
Speaker:really gives you the feel of what it
Speaker:must have looked like and felt like back
Speaker:then it doesn't feel overly developed
Speaker:like some big Park like some you know
Speaker:whether it's the Jamestown Settlement
Speaker:Recreation which we'll talk about
Speaker:another time and it it felt like you
Speaker:walking around like oh my gosh like
Speaker:here's these readouts that they dug or
Speaker:here's these Earthworks that they dug
Speaker:and they dug this notch in this hill
Speaker:here just so the Canaan could shoot over
Speaker:there yeah those trenches the trenches
Speaker:and like that was so cool I mean and for
Speaker:kids they're just running they're having
Speaker:a blast they're running they're running
Speaker:everywhere it that to me was probably
Speaker:the coolest piece of it again I like
Speaker:kind of like the experience
Speaker:it was so cool so they dug in these huge
Speaker:trenches that's what they did the
Speaker:British had reinforced Yorktown dug in
Speaker:these huge trenches is to kind of guard
Speaker:them made these readouts to kind of
Speaker:they're kind of like a readout is kind
Speaker:of like a little
Speaker:um
Speaker:fourth yeah I would say like you know
Speaker:when you put all the earthwork around
Speaker:you and you can have it and they'd have
Speaker:like the sharp the sharp logs that they
Speaker:sharpened sticking out yep the sharp
Speaker:lugs will be all around and the parapets
Speaker:where they can put cannons up on top and
Speaker:what George Washington did with his
Speaker:troops as he gets in and starts digging
Speaker:in close to those yeah so he can get his
Speaker:cannons in so what you see is you'll see
Speaker:The Siege lines you'll see the first
Speaker:Siege line the second Siege line and
Speaker:you'll see the British Siege line and
Speaker:those haven't changed they've grown over
Speaker:with grass now but their earthwork
Speaker:hasn't changed so you can walk on them
Speaker:and walk inside there it was it was so
Speaker:cool because you can walk down and they
Speaker:are probably good if you're down inside
Speaker:of a readout yeah yeah it's probably a
Speaker:good six seven feet yeah if you see the
Speaker:video my opening is from readout nine
Speaker:yeah so I'm standing in the there's two
Speaker:readouts that were instrumental in The
Speaker:Taking of Yorktown nine and ten ten is
Speaker:the one Alexander Hamilton took nine is
Speaker:one as the French took his ten the one
Speaker:he sung about yeah ten or 20 seconds
Speaker:but nine is when you can go in today and
Speaker:stand in because it's more Inland 10 is
Speaker:on the water and it's been slowly
Speaker:um deteriorating yeah but um nine is is
Speaker:more Inland so we were able to stand
Speaker:inside of it and I talked about can you
Speaker:imagine 400 people in here that night
Speaker:and because that's how many people were
Speaker:inside there yeah and it was again to
Speaker:kind of tutor our own horn you know on
Speaker:some of the production value we have
Speaker:like these little wireless mic you know
Speaker:receivers so I actually stood at the top
Speaker:of the readout and you were standing in
Speaker:the bottom and as you walk towards me it
Speaker:helps it helps in the video give you
Speaker:perspective because sometimes it's hard
Speaker:to see from a straight video shot not
Speaker:the perspective of how deep these things
Speaker:are how big they are but when you're
Speaker:walking when I'm beating you you walking
Speaker:through it and the audio is very clear
Speaker:you're talking about it as you're
Speaker:walking towards the camera that was that
Speaker:was a fun thing for me to do just from
Speaker:the production side and they're very so
Speaker:you can park close to them and then walk
Speaker:out to them but they are accessible if
Speaker:you have even a wheelchair I think they
Speaker:would yeah yeah I think a good portion
Speaker:of them are not all of them but that
Speaker:those readouts are really close to the
Speaker:visitor center so like I said if you
Speaker:start at The Visitor Center you'll go in
Speaker:they have a recreation of the ship they
Speaker:also have George Washington's campaign
Speaker:tent
Speaker:it's protected it's you know so for
Speaker:conservative but you can walk inside
Speaker:underneath it in glass and it kind of
Speaker:lets you know how tall George Washington
Speaker:was because that for them they have
Speaker:markers that's right yes by the time
Speaker:he's a tall man he was six six three
Speaker:yeah when the average man around then
Speaker:it's about five nine so he's pretty tall
Speaker:for the time and they all also have
Speaker:Cornwallis campaign table what they
Speaker:believe is Quinn Wallace's campaign
Speaker:table and I talk about why they would
Speaker:say that usually they don't have exact
Speaker:prominence but it's it points to it but
Speaker:that's also protected and you can see
Speaker:that's probably the table he used for
Speaker:his strategy and planning and so those
Speaker:are the three really cool things in the
Speaker:visitor center and then of course you
Speaker:can get your
Speaker:map to start your drive
Speaker:but um you know there's there's about
Speaker:17
Speaker:000
Speaker:troops for the American Revolution you
Speaker:got about nine eight to nine thousand
Speaker:Americans and the French have brought
Speaker:about seven to eight thousand and then
Speaker:Cornwallis has about nine thousand with
Speaker:him he's about seven thousand British
Speaker:and three thousand Germans yeah so
Speaker:remember we talked about this by the the
Speaker:Hessians yeah and so
Speaker:[Music]
Speaker:they start to dig in this starts in
Speaker:September and so the song is about
Speaker:September about October 14th and October
Speaker:14th is when Hamilton and a French
Speaker:officer are given the orders to take
Speaker:these readouts right and the French
Speaker:officers told to take nine which is the
Speaker:Inland one and ten and Hamilton's told
Speaker:to take ten which is on the water now in
Speaker:the play is this where because he's
Speaker:always asking for his own command like
Speaker:he keeps asking for command he wants
Speaker:this is his name is this his chance this
Speaker:is his chance this is his one chance
Speaker:well like talk about like perfect timing
Speaker:you know right here's your chance it's
Speaker:the last battle right obviously they
Speaker:didn't know that they didn't know that
Speaker:but like hey here's your last chance of
Speaker:like Hamilton's like oh it's my one time
Speaker:and he does it and then the battle lens
Speaker:he's like yep yeah I know and honestly
Speaker:so the the whole part is like take the
Speaker:bullet such a gun take the bullet touch
Speaker:again we move into current we move as
Speaker:when George Washington had given the
Speaker:orders to just use your bayonets right
Speaker:to keep it silent to keep it silent he
Speaker:didn't want to tip them off because
Speaker:Cornwallis doesn't think they're that
Speaker:close right he doesn't have any intel to
Speaker:let them know that they're that close
Speaker:and so they take these readouts by
Speaker:surprise and because they take them by
Speaker:surprise there's really very low
Speaker:casualty numbers
Speaker:I think um Hamilton loses eight and the
Speaker:French officer loses 20. but when you're
Speaker:fighting 400 men that's a pretty big
Speaker:deal
Speaker:um
Speaker:for the French side the Jersey so the
Speaker:French attack the Germans that's who's
Speaker:inside their readout And when they see
Speaker:the French coming they fire back a
Speaker:little and then they go okay we give up
Speaker:they're like we don't they're like we're
Speaker:not really invested in this they're
Speaker:really our country yeah so that's why
Speaker:you know it's kind of like Hamilton did
Speaker:it but it's like okay there you go you
Speaker:know but if you go there and we have we
Speaker:have gone there you know for friends for
Speaker:Flat Stanley there's a whole thing that
Speaker:says Alexander Hamilton stood here you
Speaker:can stand where Alexander Hamilton stood
Speaker:and I'm sure that didn't come around
Speaker:until 2050. I know and after the play
Speaker:came out um John Laurens who's also a
Speaker:character in the Hamilton play John
Speaker:Lawrence is with Hamilton when he makes
Speaker:this Siege a readout 10.
Speaker:um so he's also there so that's kind of
Speaker:that that is accurate of the song
Speaker:um and then he talks about you know a
Speaker:young man stands on a parapet waving a
Speaker:white handkerchief that does happen so
Speaker:they take these readouts October 14th
Speaker:they fill them with cannons they start
Speaker:firing onto your Cornwallis just
Speaker:basically holds out as long as he can
Speaker:and on the 17th he surrenders and he
Speaker:does have a drummer and a British
Speaker:officer climb on a pet a pet and wave a
Speaker:white handkerchief just like in the song
Speaker:oh wow and then on the 18th they the day
Speaker:after is when the four officers meet at
Speaker:Morehouse so that's another place you
Speaker:can go remember we went to Morehouse we
Speaker:walk around it
Speaker:and vaguely that's what the negotiation
Speaker:of surrender takes place and that's one
Speaker:of them yes remember one American office
Speaker:it was like an actual house that's an
Speaker:actual house one French officer two
Speaker:British officers and they meet in there
Speaker:and they basically at the time you had
Speaker:to come on terms of surrender what are
Speaker:what are your terms and George
Speaker:Washington you know you can't unfail
Speaker:your colors you can't walk away with
Speaker:your banner flying high you can't walk
Speaker:away with any bullets in your gun yeah I
Speaker:think I think that they had like threw
Speaker:it on their arms yeah you have to do
Speaker:these kind of symbolic things
Speaker:um your highest in command has to give
Speaker:the sword to me well what happens the
Speaker:day of surrender which is October 18th
Speaker:at the surrender field which is awesome
Speaker:yeah it was cool they've got like a
Speaker:whole audio thing that you can like go
Speaker:in there you're looking over yeah it's
Speaker:like you so you walk down from the
Speaker:parking lot it's probably what maybe 100
Speaker:yards maybe right so you walk down this
Speaker:path to this kind of little
Speaker:larger stage gazebo covered thing but
Speaker:then they've got audio playing and so
Speaker:it's telling you and they're playing
Speaker:like the the drums and the trumpets and
Speaker:you know they're so it sounds like
Speaker:you're there and then you're looking
Speaker:over where they surrender yeah like what
Speaker:would you see that day looking out on
Speaker:the field what would you see you will
Speaker:see a line of American officers you will
Speaker:see a line of British officers and then
Speaker:you will see the French having to walk
Speaker:side by side between them yeah and
Speaker:they've got the old kind of beams like
Speaker:the cross beams right that would line
Speaker:kind of almost like fences yes
Speaker:um so Cornwallis that day says he's sick
Speaker:and he doesn't show up yeah I'd be sick
Speaker:too and because of that his second in
Speaker:command presents the sword to George
Speaker:Washington but George Washington won't
Speaker:accept it he makes his second in command
Speaker:take it oh wow so very symbolic this all
Speaker:of this is like you know men of the time
Speaker:being sure it's it's a different era
Speaker:Yeah a different era but it you know
Speaker:it's very neat to be there uh the war
Speaker:will this so this is the decisive battle
Speaker:right there won't be another
Speaker:big battle although the war technically
Speaker:is not over until another two years
Speaker:September 3rd 1783 is when the Treaty of
Speaker:Paris is actually signed yeah
Speaker:at this time British Parliament has
Speaker:backed down Armament so they they
Speaker:basically won't attack anymore and so
Speaker:these two years are basically just
Speaker:little skirmishes but nothing big until
Speaker:the war is over and there was a
Speaker:centennial in 1881
Speaker:and Chester Garfield spoke because he
Speaker:had been president for 30 days because I
Speaker:mean Chester Arthur spoke because he had
Speaker:been president for 30 days because James
Speaker:Garfield had just died oh yeah and then
Speaker:there was a bicentennial in 1981 when
Speaker:Ronald Reagan spoke that's cool yeah
Speaker:yeah and again
Speaker:if you're ever in the area and you're
Speaker:doing the Williams work thing because
Speaker:that's the big draw right I'd say for
Speaker:the area right that's that's uh
Speaker:the the first first one that everybody's
Speaker:going to go to if you get a chance
Speaker:though
Speaker:I go to go to Yorktown Battlefield
Speaker:because one if you kind of just want a
Speaker:day where you can drive do a little bit
Speaker:more driving a little bit less walking
Speaker:right maybe do Williams work first walk
Speaker:around all day get your feet all nice
Speaker:and tired then go drive out to Yorktown
Speaker:and just driving around there was
Speaker:amazing because we ended up going back
Speaker:later
Speaker:and this lighting was just beautiful so
Speaker:we went around Sunset and it was the
Speaker:most Serene and beautiful it was like
Speaker:think of any movie that you've ever seen
Speaker:about you know Revolutionary War era I
Speaker:mean it was just those the purples and
Speaker:reds and oranges and it was like I felt
Speaker:like I was I was in that time it was
Speaker:absolutely amazing and like we said this
Speaker:battlefield has been relatively
Speaker:untouched yeah so you do feel like
Speaker:you're standing in history when you're
Speaker:there it was just that was one of those
Speaker:things
Speaker:you know aside from being in my Colonial
Speaker:Williamsburg and even Colonial
Speaker:Williamsburg you feel like you're there
Speaker:but there's a bunch of other there's
Speaker:people walking around with strollers and
Speaker:stuff like that right here I really felt
Speaker:like I was transported back in time it
Speaker:was just absolutely amazing so as you
Speaker:can tell from today's podcast
Speaker:watching a Broadway musical bring
Speaker:history to life is an amazing experience
Speaker:but what I hope you learned from today's
Speaker:podcast was that being able to walk in
Speaker:the footsteps of those historical Giants
