Early American
Join Ron and Justine as they “meander through 1820s Missouri”.
The couple, who are newlyweds expecting their first child, create content by reenacting a day in the life of 1820’s early Americans.
Everything is authentic in their cabin from the lack of running water to cooking over fire to their wardrobe.
Justine cooks meals from scratch based on classic and authentic 1800’s recipes (receipts) which provide great entertainment, a relaxing, peaceful space and entrancing sounds from crackling fires to chickens clucking.
Early American’s videos have even become a bonding activity to do with my daughters.
Their favorite is the Nun Bread.
“Two hours? TWO hours? TWO. HOURS?!”

Frontier Patriot
A sister channel to the Early American is Ron and Justine’s channel Frontier Patriot.
In these videos, they “journey to the 18th & 19th centuries to bring light to the patriots on the American frontier. There will be cooking, traveling, shooting, skilled trades, hunting, work, horses, wagons, cannons, redcoats, rivermen, exploration, music and more!”
This channel has been a fun one to watch with my husband.
This is more of a sit down and chat style channel but equally as entertaining and educational.
