January 21, 2025 Get to Know Tracking the X Podcast
Welcome to Tracking the X, TTX for short, and this is our reintroduction🤩
We are a local history podcast and social media archival outlet dedicated to making accessible and free historical information! We are a duo made up of Ingram Connor Griffin and Harlen Valentine, two passionate individuals about preserving the good and the ugly that our little Southeast Georgia community has!⭐️
All of our content... Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube, Facebook and our website (trackingthex.com) all have information that connects together via our launched episodes, which means plenty to read and watch! You can also follow along via our Facebook page where we share local history information daily, via the areas of Waycross and hopefully beyond! 🤭 All socials @ TrackingtheX
We are officially a year old in our historical journey and have so much more in store. We are so happy youre here and care about the Waycross community! ♥️ Please share so people can learn more about us, and we can continue spreading the good word!
(Fun Fact: our name is actually pronounced Tracking the Cross, but we made it subjective and confusing on purpose! ' Tracking the X' came from a list of titles Connor and Harlen debated on for weeks. 'X' stands for a variable like in algebra, meaning it could be anything, but also the railroad crossing, "x-ing" since Waycross is the railroad hub of Georgia!)

July 04, 2024 Tracking the X- United States of America's Birthday Edition: The Liberty Boys of Savannah
Happy Independence Day! July 4th, 1776 - July 4th is celebrated as the birthday of the United States because it marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This document, drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson with input from other Founding Fathers, declared the American colonies' independence from British rule.
Welcome to this special podcast episode on the Liberty Boys!
The Liberty Boys of Savannah were a group of young patriots who played a significant role in the American Revolution, particularly in Georgia. They were known for their fervent support of independence from British rule and actively participated in various acts of defiance and resistance.
These youths, inspired by the ideals of liberty and justice, organized themselves to protect Savannah and surrounding areas from British control. They engaged in activities such as intelligence gathering, sabotage against British troops and loyalists, and spreading patriotic fervor among the local population.
Led by figures like Major James Jackson and Sergeant William Jasper, the Liberty Boys of Savannah contributed to crucial moments in Georgia's revolutionary history, including the defense of Savannah against British forces in 1779 and subsequent efforts to reclaim the city.
Their bravery and commitment to the cause of American independence made them emblematic of the spirit of resistance in Georgia during the Revolutionary War. The legacy of the Liberty Boys of Savannah continues to be celebrated as part of Georgia's rich history of patriotism and sacrifice during the struggle for freedom.
