Jeff checks out a number of interesting folks buried in Kansas City's historic Union Cemetery who led interesting lives. They include the principal who was interested in student Walt Disney, Josephine Anderson who died in a makeshift prison collapse in 1863, touching off a slaughter in the town of Lawrence, Kansas. Others are painter George Caleb Bingham (who owned the building that collapsed killing Anderson); the first territorial governor of New Mexico and others.

Jeff and Sarah. I just moved to Charleston SC from Indianafor my job and I am amazed at how much History is in this area. I always knew about the Civil War history and Fort Sumpter. But there us just loads more ! Everyday I find more and more history I have never even heard of. Love all the episodes about Kansas City so far and Thank u for keeping the channel going along. I always look forward to Sunday morning.

@martindriver6026 11 месяцев назад

WOW!! So much in this episode. Thank you for bringing out the veterans, the one that truly breaks my heart is the civil war veterans. I can't even imagine going to war with fellow country men. Yes chiggers are no joke they will leave measles type Dots on you legs for weeks. I ran into them before. Thanks for ANOTHER GREAT EPISODE OF HISTORY HUNTERS.

I'm traveling to Oregon and saw a Veteran's Cemetery on I-5 as I drove by. Thank you for looking into all these past heros of old wars.

@rhondaz356 11 месяцев назад

What an eclectic, diverse story each of those people, you highlighted, had... a few of them quite tragic. As you were walking around, I was thinking that all of these "unknown" people had their own stories, most likely, all forgotten over time.🪦❤️‍🩹... This was really very interesting, Jeff. 👏🌿 Those buildings are about as close as I've ever seen to a cemetery, without a barrier, of some sort.

@jbenziggy 11 месяцев назад

Well said! I cannot forget what happened in Hawaii notably because my brother lives on the island of Maui. He is so depressed from what has happened and what will be happening to the economy of that great island. Very sad state of affairs that I don’t think anyone saw coming.

I know of a cemetery in IL that i don't think anybody knows about. Buried deep in the woods not far off a beaten path. Lots of weird symbols, ancient headstones, and trees as big as a VW growing out of them. Really spooky. Even ran across an old lady (?) i say that lightly and she told me to leave that her kind don't like people like me around. All i was doing was checking it out. She was spooky too. Never went back. Nope, never did!
