Growing Tobacco In Early America: Video

[TigerTom]

I sometimes watch the Townsends youtube channel and saw this video from several years back.

Growing Tobacco In Early America

Interesting from a historical perspective. Anyone here ever make it over to Mount Vernon and see this?

Like the presentations of all Park Service presenters, this version of history is quaint and comfortable, and socially sanitized. Aside from the repeated view of rotting, molding tobacco stalks hanging in a shed, most of the growing specifics are sufficiently vague that their inaccuracies are harmless.
