In search of Confederate Stronghold Long Tom City in Oregon

[hatchetj4ck]

adb024, really enjoy your videos! Any chance you will make a Long Tom pt2? That was really interesting!!!

Like the hat Aaron, I think the guy was sleeping in his tent.

True Confederate here, thanks for the lesson. Was Philip Mulkey a relative or yours? Close (direct) or shirt tail?

[adb024]

@Swifive I think he hung out with some of my shirttails or maybe married them. Need to do some more research. He definitely did a lot for the Oregon Country.

I think the river access would be the best too, you could look for the old pier pilings also try google earth

[wolfofworld]

I think you came across George for tiltles tent.

Right on... won't be long until we are settlers in the wilderness again...

Was that railroad a victim to the collapsing economy?

[adb024]

@LordoftheKaty In a way yes but a couple of years before the housing crisis. I consider the collapsing economy in Oregon started in the 80s never has recovered.

[LordoftheKaty]

@adb024 I figure we'll see more railroads being abandoned and increasing unemployment if the Bilderberg's have their way and bring in a North American Union, since the gov will relocate industry, what isn't already destroyed by the collapsing dollar

Are you guys still recruiting for the confederate army in Orgeon? I need to know which side to be on when Arizona and Texas start succeeding from the union. LOL

[CaptainTripsz]

Long Tom has one resident living in a tent?lol You are lucky you didnt come across a dead body or something weird.

[skyding8962]

I didn't even know that there were confederacy in oregon. Wouldn't they be tried up for treason doing that in union terrotory?

[adb024]

@skyding8962 Pro Confederates outnumbered pro unionists in all of Oregon except for the Portland area. Check out the links but understand the history has been written by the Union.

[LosAngeleno1959]

@adb024 You're absolutely right. All we are given these days is revisionist history and you can bet we're not given the truth.

nice hat

[adb024]

@1x93cm Thanks wish it was a Stetson but I havent found a straw one that fits my big head nicely.

[Scott2ism]

Cool!! did you ever find remnants of the old town?

[adb024]

@Scott2ism No I really need to research more on location. Maybe a metal detector would work but my next attempt will be a raft this summer. Should be fun. Check out the links some good info.

[CaptainTripsz]

@adb024 I was gonna say get a metal detector too.

[oregonmikes]

@adb024 Aaron, I love Oregon history & searching for it. I would be interested in helping you look for this old town. As a side note, I have a couple of metal detectors & a kayak. I don't think we would need a metal detector though. PM me if you are interested.
