I like the way you incorporate old photos into the narration of the story’s you research, always well done. I like to look at historical sights too but my wife isn’t as understanding as Sarah is, you two make a great pair of adventure hunters 👍

@dstu322 4 года назад

There was a similar "battle" between Petaluma and Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. instead of shooting each other they decided to discuss their differences over drinks at the Washoe House.

As a graduate student in history living in the gold country, this is fantastic. You might argue that the 1863 killing of an El Dorado County deputy was a civil war casualty. Loving the videos y'all, wish I'd known you were coming to Coloma. If you make you're way back I would be happy to help.

Wow , I can't believe the old jail still standing...back when I lived in Pine Grove, it was locked up not open like that. The eagle band was a shop there. My dad was involved in the Theatre group for many years. Still is or he might have retired from now. I remember being in my first play, "Things go bump in the night" was amazing. Alot of memories. Thankyou for this history, it is always nice to be brushed up.

I was probably "dragged" through volcano as a kid as we used to go to Daffodil Hill nearby. I don't remember any of this information you shared. May need to go to this town also. Thanks for re-introducing me to so many places I didn't appreciate as kid!

@jbenziggy 4 года назад

Yeah, when I was a kid my dad dragged us around on weekend day trips. I groaned and moaned but you know what I did as a dad? The very same thing! And I think part of my quest to do these videos was born out of those "boring" trips I was forced on as a kid. I didn't appreciate it so much then now but I sure do today! Go and check out this town again with adult eyes. Oh, and try the burgers that we didn't get to. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to our channel!

@marcieconant5559 2 года назад

Interesting connection between this area and Liversedge. Just goes to show that a hero can come from anywhere. It's ashame that the jail became a trash dump. I never knew that the Civil War extended this far West. Very funny Superman sign in the phone booth. Being a dog lover, I appreciated the very historic dog and people fountain from 1976. Interesting epitaphs on some of the headstones in the cemetery. From what people wrote on them you get a real sense that they placed a lot of importance on eternal life. My favorite..."I know that my Reedeemer liveth".💕

@michaelgmoore5708 2 года назад

In San Franciscos Alcatraz prison early days before the prison as we know about, there was a Union Army camp where soldiers were serving time for various reasons. Cannons, cannon balls and a lot of explosive material was kept. A lot of very dangerous things happened there that were kept out of view for a long time after 1865.

@jbenziggy 4 года назад

Thank you, Jay! There is a hotel in Coulterville which everybody says Theodore Roosevelt stayed out. Only problem is they said he stayed there on the way to Yosemite and Roosevelt went by way of the train to Raymond, far from Coulterville. It's not true but was even repeated in The Modesto Bee and I called them on it. LOL. We'll keep researching and videotaping our adventures! Thanks!
