Hello heard about this area a long time ago you have now opened the eyes of a lot of people so much HISTORY thank you for this adventure and explore⛏️🇺🇸🏆
You do a nice historic job with your videos. I was just up there after 20 years. Just wanted to see the cemetery. Was saddened to see the wrought iron fencing has mostly disappeared 🤔. Here is my take on the visit. Much more casual than your professional approach. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h2pdL0t60HA.html
I was born and raised in Rock Springs Wyoming. My relatives were Mormon pioneers and my Great great grandfather Elijah "Uncle Nick" Wilson lived with Chief Washaki when he was 12 years old.
Eben is my hubby’s distant cousin, and his mom, Pricilla, ran the trading post before it burned down. We have the only known Post Office stamp from there.
@@ghosttownsandmore I was bragging about your videos to my sister because of the stagecraft in them. I'm not sure how you do the oil painting looking depictions, but they are outstanding. My matriarchal grandmother (the other one), by the way, was raised in Urikka over the mountain westward. Before seeing that video, I couldn't reason out why she liked living in that beleaguered looking town so much, but that's because I was born so recently (relatively speaking)...the stagecraft in the Eureka video was also well done. Instead of showing us B-Roll nothings in a half-baked RU-vid, you depicted period-looking images that were more than graney old photos in only black and white. You actually interviewed people who had a memory of the place. Note: When I grew up, my patriarchal grandmother was living in the same Dividend house Raddatz built for the family, but it was relocated to Springville. Because of my aunt's disability from age 3, Raddatz added a bathroom with indoor plumbing. My grandmother spoke of him highly.
A very interesting video (I found by accident)... I felt a personal connection, even though I have never been there. My mother was born there in 1902...!! To think that she may have visited some of those buildings shown, gone to that school, lived in one of the homes shown in the video.......Thank you for showing and sharing....
My grandparents' snd later uncle's house was at 144 Main Street. William Treloar was my grandfather and Don Treloar was my uncle. I think they both served as mayor at one point?
It's a beautiful town also has really good restaurants and a bunch of micro brewery's never rode the train because it doesn't run on Sundays and that was our only day off if we got one just beautiful country ski resorts up in mountains and hiking trails.
The locomotives have been switched from coal fired to oil fired. They were switching before the 416 Fire which was caused by a cinder from the smokestack. There were also many people, especially in an apartment complex built right beside the right of way, complaining about the soot. It will be cleaner and no cinders to cause fires, but I will miss the coal burners. And the fireman won’t have to shovel 7 tons of coal for the round trip between Durango and Silverton.
My parents owned land up in Bannack and I got to spend a good portion of my teen years exploring the old mines (gen x feral child). I was sad to hear they had bulldozed nearly all of them, but as an adult, I know how stupidly dangerous those mines were, so it likely saved lives.
