Middle of the 40 mile desert? That station is 100 yards off the highway lol
@@justinjacobson7555 I as using the word middle loosely lol
Great video! I’m a new subscriber! I’m glad I discovered your channel. I love Nevada and mining history. Thank you. Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I’m working on a few more as we speak 💙
Love your work
@@mountainmover9141 thank you 😊
Super interesting! Binge watching your channel. Now I want to go explore!
@@Mrsjones988 thank you, I’m glad you like it ❤️ I wish I could put them out more regularly but I work on them as I can, I truly enjoy making the videos and doing all the research
Thank you for all your work.
@@ontheroadrvstyle2565 thank you for watching it 🤗
Hands down, IMO your best work. I've driven past that exit... many times. Thank you, I know it's history.
@@mountainmover9141 I found this one so much more interesting than I thought I would. I had no idea until I started researching it. I wish I could put everything in all the videos but they would be too long (and apparently no one other than myself will watch a documentary over 10 minutes lol)
good stuff..subbed!
@@JoeK4444 thank you
Assay Office. Not essay.
🎥 This Host really reminds me of 'Claire Trevor", Professionally Trained and Educated Actress of early Hollywood, ("Stagecoach", a Classic, Starring: John Wayne and Claire Trevor, Director: John Ford), ("Desperado", Starring: Randolph Scott, Glenn Ford, Claire Trevor), one of my personal favorites for her skill and poise. I recommend both movies, "Desperados" is one of my all time favorite Westerns. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian PS: Subb'd to support your Channel's History Works, # 715.
That Postcard is Priceless. Wedekind, Nevada ... "They had a "ore House"! ... Way back then. Imagine what happened in the 1800's in Nevada that no one knows about. .
@@bethbartlett5692 Nevada has such a wild and rich history it would have been awesome to witness it back then
Great episode, look forward to more.
@@mountainmover9141 thank you, I’m glad you liked it
Mark Twains first story ever was "Stone man of Northern Nevada" take place in Humbolt City.
Live in Verdi and knew very little of this. Thank You and God Bless you Harmony!
@@WilliamFiler I’m glad you liked it. Just doing my part to keep history alive ❤️
West Shore Best Shore, my work hole.
@@WilliamFiler ❤️
Excellent! How do we get ahold of you?
@@WilliamFiler my email is harmonyheywood@gmail.com
Same thing happened to my Great Granddads town on Van Wyck Idaho. Railroad came through started a new town a mile away and then they made plans to flood the Payette river and flood Van Wyck and other towns. The flooding wasn't completed until the 1950's but the town of Van Wyck was moved or shutdown around the 1930's. My Gandma and Grandad moved to Paradise CA and became largest employers in the town.
@@WilliamFiler It’s crazy how often that happened. The railroad could make you or break you.
WE HAD A WICKES LUMBER YARD HERE IN BOULDER COLORADO FOR YEARS I DON'T THINK IT WAS SPELL THE SPEECH TO TEXT DOES WE ALSO HAD A SUTHERLANDS LUMBER AND SEVERAL OTHERS
Great documentary can you do one of Georgetown?

@jellyroll
Lahontan Reservoir.....( The Correct Spelling....? ) you didn't take very good english classes, in school, eh /......?
@@petersack5074 I completed the public school system, then went on to college where I got a bachelors degree from UNR. That being said I have Dyspraxia which effects my spelling and I rely heavily on spellcheck, but if spellcheck accidentally missed a word and I don’t catch it.. Then, I guess we can blame the public school system and the private school system. That being said, this video wasn’t about a spelling error, it was about the history of our area. If a simple spelling mistake in the title affected the greater lesson then I’m sorry. Or if you are just trying to make someone who has a learning disability feel bad about themselves, I’m sorry you did not accomplish that goal. I am a history teacher not an English one. But I wish you the best and hope you have a great day.
Cool place for sure. Just SW of there is ruins of Williams Station that played a significant role in the pyramid war. Only able to visit when lahontan reservoir is low.
@@rarecj8jeep187 I think The story of William station is super interesting. Check out my video on Lahontan Reservoir. I go into William station and the whole pyramid lake war. ❤️
Gonna waste this song on some bullshit old time cemetery.... stupid
@@GlennDubski88 Music has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions and connect us to different aspects of life in unique ways. When I went to Aurora and walked amongst the graves I felt a connection to these people and wanted to show respect by sharing their stories as homage to their lives. I couldn’t think of a better way to show respect than with this powerful song that brings up emotion and talks about someone who went down the wrong path, and needs saving, just like many of the outlaws that lived and died in Aurora. Respecting and remembering those who have fallen is never a waste, it’s a meaningful way to make their stories even more impactful. Everyone experiences music differently, and while you may not have felt the connection, It doesn’t make a difference to me, because this is about the music and how it resonated in me. Whatever this song means to you is personal to you, and I would never presume to tell you that your feelings are wrong
1857 was a very cold winter. The US Army became stuck at Ft Bridger in late Oct and couldn't march into Salt Lake until June 1858. Most the cattle and horses froze.
@@TheHypnotstCollector I had never even heard about it until I started researching for this video. Thank you for the extra info 💙 I’m completely going to read more about it now.
@@mapadventures I know this era.... I own JC Fremont's explorations c.1844 and later. And Preuss Maps, Gunnison map 1845. And other explorers and travelers. And many dozens of original books on Mountain Meadows Massacre 911 1857. And I collect maps. That's how I found your channel, looking for map nuts. Found one so far.......Ok, but only a couple other channels..... Drove to Tahoe 7-27-24 and hwy 88 now has "California Trail" signs on the east end.... And there is the Mormon road off of 88, around 5000ft, 10 miles or so above Pioneer . And Maidens Grave and Tragedy Spings, also Mormon are nearby. And Genoa is/was a Mormon town. The Mormons left there and many other places in 1857 to heed Bring'em Young's order for all Mormons to come to Utah to fight the USA. Many thousand Mormons did as ordered.
Good video
@@venom12o79 thank you
Incredible I can't believe I stumbled upon this video, lived here my whole life and only knew a little bit of the story. You did a great job putting all that info in one place mad respect💯👏🤟
@@mattschultz5036 thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
Excellent research and presentation, as per usual.
@@spazzrock1 thank you, I work really hard on them.
Well done, yet again.
@@spazzrock1 thank you 😊
I'm fairly new to the area and am a history nerd, thank you for the informative video!
@@slappynixon you’re welcome. It’s my pleasure to make them.
Informative video! The Buster Keaton footage was a funny touch.
@@slappynixon thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I use Buster Keaton in a lot of my videos, because it’s Royalty free and because he’s awesome!
Lived in Tahoe for 30 years. I never knew any of this! You did a great job. Interesting research! Thank you! Subscribed 👍
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 💙
I watched this again! what a fun time!
It’s always a fun time with you behind the camera!
I am a native Reno resident and love your videos! They are interesting, historically educational, and very well done.
Thank you, I’m glad you like them 💙
Brilliant and well researched! Love your content!
I work really hard on the research phase, I’m glad you liked it.
Don't fear! I see No Red Shirt.
Wonderful presentation! So Lake Street was named after Charles Lake? I though it had to do with Virginia Lake.
Correct, Lake street was named after Myron Lake. Virginia Lake (originally called County Lake) was made by the CCC in the early 1930’s. So first came the man, then came the road, then came the lake 🤓
Been waiting for a new video. Had no idea it would be this good!
Your comment just made my whole week! Thank you, I worked really hard on it. I’m trying to get Part 2: Lake’s Crossing done and posted by this upcoming Friday.
I grew up in AZ and learned a lot about its history growing up but I've lived in Reno for fifteen years so love this channel for the NV history lessons.
Thank you, I’m glad you like it
absolutely agree!
Thank you, I put a lot of work into my videos. I’m glad you like them ❤
Your channel has such great production - should have so many more subs given what you put into it.
Thank you❤
Thanks for the reply. I enjoy your videos about the local historical places. Thanks for a GREAT job!
Thank you for watching them 🤗. I really enjoy making them, I have another one that I am trying to get out today or tomorrow. I wish I could do them more on a set schedule but they’re kind of time-consuming and I have to have a real job lol
I wonder if the old rock house behind Sparks middle school, on the corner of Wedikind and Sullivan is a remnant?
It’s more related to the old town of Auburn. It sits on what was the Sullivan Ranch. John Sullivan worked at the English Mill, which at the corner of Clearacre & Wedekind in 1864. A little town called Auburn was also located there for the workers of the Mill. John Sullivan worked for the English Mill Company as a foreman and subsequently bought his property from the English Mill Company. He then went on to have one of the most prosperous ranches in the Truckee Meadows. The rock house is one of the buildings from the ranch. For more information on Auburn, you can check out my video
Keep the good videos coming!! very interesting!!
Thank you, I’m glad you like them I’m working hard trying to finish a new one for Saturday about Fullers Crossing, the precursor to Reno
@@mapadventures <3
:)
i shared your vids in FB Reno groups. just giving ya a fist bump
I saw that, thank you! It made my day to see them posted 💙
@@mapadventures ❤ glad i could help. i did it cuz its interesting but also love supporting youtubers too
Very Good! What book did you get your maps and info from? Thanks, Alex George in Carson City
I receive my info from a bunch of different sources. I strive for accuracy so I try not to receive my information from just one place I like to verify it from multiple sources. I usually start off with the newspapers because they writing things as they were happening. Then I’ll compare them with what has already been written. It’s actually the research part of that takes the longest to complete. With the Maps, I have a ton of different sources, UNR has some great maps, also I use David Rumsey, he has an amazing historical map collection. Here’s a link www.davidrumsey.com
AFAIK they used Mt. Diablo meridian as a reference meridian on survey maps in 19th century and even later. Which raises a question why did they use Greenwich 120th meridian to split Nevada and California instead of some meridian relative to Mt. Diablo?
Great question. After Mexico ceded Alta California to the US there was a fast migration to the new land, which caused a quick need to create states and boundaries. Since the Mt. Diablo meridian is based on the land survey system, they didn’t use it because it was still un surveyed land. To make it easy they just took Freemonts map and chose a meridian that didn’t seem to split geographical features and drew a straight line.
I was a volunteer at the Sparks Heritage Museum and one of the things I created for the museum was a signpost indicating the towns around the area in 1865. Auburn was the town that triggered the artwork I had done. Thanks for the information!
I love that. I would love to see your artwork, do they still have it there? I love that museum
Wow I grew up in Reno and never knew, so much history but a lot of old buildings have been tore down and history is erased 😢 Thank you for the video
I’m glad you liked it 😀. I hate it so much that Reno doesn’t seem to care about its history.
Mark twain published a map of the toll roads in nevada as a joke....
