So many interesting historically significant locations in this video, i have watched it twice already! That rose bush is amazing. And Glenn's quirky humor is in rare form! Thanks for this stellar tour!
I remember seeing the Lavender pit mine in the 1960s when it was still working. It was amazing to see all the machines going up the sides of the mine. My 5 year old brain was amazed. It was like a giant ant farm for people.
This Is a fascinating western town, however, what really called my attention was the rose tree, it is stunning indeed. Given the fact that it is an arid region and turbulent history of the town, certainly unique.
Thank you for this documentry, I moved to Cochise County and worked under contract at most of the hospitals. In this time I met Hobert Earp and many others. My parents lived in Tucson, came to visit, and moved to Tucson. They would go to move to Sierra Vista, go to Church in SV, then to church in Tombstone, then watch the gun shows. I have sent a copy to my soon to be wife and stepson, they will enjoy. I currently live in Elfrida, cowboy country! I am subscribed to your channel!
Indeed! Breaks our hearts that so many stories and locations are lost to time but thankfully our list of places to explore isn't short. 😄 Thanks for watching!
Met a ghost at Bird Cage Theatre. Tapped my shoulder 2 times very solidly. I was entirely alone. I turned and said, "Hi." and finished my museum tour. Love your videos.
@@CactusAtlas I smelled cigarette smoke in the Theatre and when I asked about it they said no smoking was allowed but many people experience this......
One more great vlog!! Very well thought out and plenty of knowledge of the area. Been to both Tombstone and Bisbee pre pandemic and loved both days, looking forward to going back someday, thanks for sharing!!
I live in Sierra Vista and have never seen that rose bush in bloom. Now that I see the date you filmed this I will mark on my Calander to be there on the first of April. THANKS for the info!!!
Oh you absolutely HAVE to go and experience it once. It's a delightfully unique experience and the smell both around town and next to the tree is intoxicating. 😊 We really enjoyed our time there.
We were just in Bisbee a few weeks ago but unfortunately we didn't have time to stop by the ballpark. I have photos from maybe 10 years ago or so and they have definitely changed it since then. So much cool stuff in that area. Never knew about the Schiefflin monument. Really cool.
I THINK I saw in passing that the ballpark underwent some updating some time back. Guessing it was shortly after you were there. Would be curious to see how much it changed. Heck, would love to go back in time to see it when it opened.
I grew up I Bowie AZ, Cochise County. Thank you for highlighting the historical parts of southeastern AZ. I just came across your channel and love all the videos I’ve watched.
Yet another great video from Amy and yourself so strange that rose growing in the middle of Arizona considering it's an English flower I can't even get it to grow but weirdly enough I have a cactus that's growing and flowers can't wait for the next video love em heaps your stars 🤩
Thank you so much! I too find it interesting that a plant that thrives in so many places thrives here in Arizona of all places. It's a resilient little thing! I call ours a beast because in the 4 months that we've had it, it has already shown a will to take over our yard. 🤣
There is really a lot to see down there and you guys know ALL the history! I love it! Very interesting video!! I see you guys are getting those dang spring winds as well!
Thanks for the steady stream of videos. I like them all, (well maybe not so much the silly alien ones). I appreciate all the time you both put into them. Glad to hear your rose is thriving in your hot Southern Arizona weather. I did watch that video when you bought it and planted it in your backyard.
I am planning a trip to Arizona and New Mexico and just discovered your channel today. Yay!!! I am learning a lot, and your videos are helping me plan. Also, my interests and style of travel are very similar to yours, so I know I'm in good hands taking notes from your videos!
Fabulous, Glenn and Amy! I always have to watch your episodes twice. There's just so much good information. My mother's side of the family is from around Bisbee. I like to imagine how they would have lived and reacted to the local events.
In 1969, my family visited Tombstone and took a tour with other tourists. In what I think was the bird cage theater, or in a small church that had a pot bellied stove and a few pews there was a white haired man dressed all in black, with a neat belt and hat. It felt quite chilly and uncomfortable. Outside, we were directed to boot hill but he stood back, hat in hand, and said in an annoyed tone of voice, to my teenaged sisters and I, that it wasn't boot hill, and pointed the other way, said it was back that way. We looked in the direction and when we turned back, he wasn't there. He could've walked off but wasn't among the small group of tourists. It was terribly hot and dusty and a barren looking location. It was cold in the bldg but not outside. My father wanted to see the old gold and silver mine in Tombstone that his grandfather once owned. It was all junky looking, debris about, old broken wood pieces, rocks, etc.
Was on one of the stage coaches and the horses got spooked by a motor scooter and they took off running and it was not easy for the driver to get them under control !! exciting....
Well based on how coy you're being...It's ok Glenn this is a safe space and we are all here to support you! If you have some kind of Dutch cleaning girl fetish we'll help you through it. If you need to go away for awhile we'll make sure Amy is taken care of!! 🤣🤣 Great video guys!
Oh it's nothing THAT exciting. He just decided that he needs a new uniform for recording videos. The hat and scarf were getting old so you know... Dutch cleaner outfit from here on out. 😂🤣😂🤣😉
Tombstone cemetery also has some notable Apache chiefs buried there. Including Cochise's grandson who was also a chief. One of the first cemeteries that allowed Indians to be buried with other Americans.
My great grandfather and his partners bought the Tough Nut mine from Ed Schiefflin in the late 1800s, then sold his shares a few years later and made a substantial profit.
@@CactusAtlas yeah the kid was 12 years old I believe they put him to bed that night he woke up to hear a fire engine in the morning then he went back to bed he just died
Ok. I'll tolerate the roses for a bit if you promise to do something more manly later on. Great video. I'm dreaming of moving down there some day before I kick the proverbial bucket.❤❤
My parents' hometown is less than 100 miles away from the border of naco. I live in san diego and only go every 3 or 4 times a year and i can't believe i never stop by these super beautiful places on the way. It's a must. And i will...
My favorite saloon is the Crystal Palace
Thankyou for the fantastic history.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I love old cemeteries!
We have a soft spot for them too. 😅

Thanks so much! We're quite fond of that rose tree, too. Nothing quite like it. 😄
Got married in tombstone in 1999 and stayed at the nellie cashmens cottage !! Great memories 👍👍 from Canada
Oh, that's so very cool! What a fun experience! ☺️
Thank you
Been there lots ! Miss going there for the winters ! Canadian girl ❤❤❤

That feels like an incredibly apt description. 😅
Very cool. Not many ppl Speak of ol C.S Fly. By far one of the most important photographers in American History.
His work is very impressive! From residents of Tombstone to Geronimo... the guy really was at the center of capturing it all it seemed.
Cactus Atlas, I like your interest and sharing of our mining history, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! 😄👍
me and my wife roses all over another great video
Lots of cool ghost towns 🤠 and one tasty burger 🍔 🍻
They have SUCH good food. The best meatloaf as well. 🤤

Honestly, the rose tree might be our favorite thing there. 😅 Not only is it history sitting there but it's just a marvel to be under given its size!

Thank you so much for the sub and sharing your story! 😄
Dang that burger looks amazing!!
I love this! I grew up in Douglas and my grandfather grew up in Benson. I love learning more of the history of the county.
Tons of history in that area! Thanks so much for visiting and thanks for your comment. 😊
Geronimo's last stand took place going up 80 roughly 30 north east of Douglas
Great job on showing our area. You must have a good video camera. All your views are so clear and neat. Thank you.
Thank you very much! 👍
Having lived in AZ for over 40 years, there's much to see, much that's now lost to history.
Much more to discover.
Indeed! Breaks our hearts that so many stories and locations are lost to time but thankfully our list of places to explore isn't short. 😄 Thanks for watching!
I live in Cochise. There is history in this small ghost town too.
Met a ghost at Bird Cage Theatre. Tapped my shoulder 2 times very solidly. I was entirely alone. I turned and said, "Hi." and finished my museum tour. Love your videos.
Thank you so much and thanks for sharing! Never had any experience like that there but have been hearing a lot of people tell theirs over the years. 😄
@@CactusAtlas I smelled cigarette smoke in the Theatre and when I asked about it they said no smoking was allowed but many people experience this......
Great job!
I’m pretty sure this is a re-watch for me. The roses smell amazing (thanks to my Smart TV with smell-o-vision). You guys do such a great job.
Shouldn't be long before they're blooming again! I really wish there WAS a way to share the scent. It's really something. 😊
One more great vlog!!
Very well thought out and plenty of knowledge of the area.
Been to both Tombstone and Bisbee pre pandemic and loved both days, looking forward to going back someday, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for watching!!!
Just discovered your channel. Loved the tour of Cochise County. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks so much, and welcome aboard! 😄👍
Thanks for all that you do & go through to share these wonderful places & people with us.
Our pleasure! We have a lot of fun on our adventures. But most importantly, thank you for watching!
I live in Sierra Vista and have never seen that rose bush in bloom. Now that I see the date you filmed this I will mark on my Calander to be there on the first of April. THANKS for the info!!!

@@CactusAtlas Cool, I made a note and attached it to the last page of this year's Calander. When I buy a new one it will go on April's page.

We also did a video on that historic site outside Tombstone. Past the "dude" ranch.
There is really a lot to see down there and you guys know ALL the history! I love it! Very interesting video!! I see you guys are getting those dang spring winds as well!
Oh yeah... the winds have been coming through here and there. As for the history, SLOWLY been reading up on stuff. 😂

It's fascinating how many people we've heard from with family coming from Bisbee. REALLY goes to show how big of a town it was once. 😊

The "Lavender" pit mine had the highest grade copper ore ever mined.
Tombstone cemetery also has some notable Apache chiefs buried there. Including Cochise's grandson who was also a chief. One of the first cemeteries that allowed Indians to be buried with other Americans.
My great grandfather and his partners bought the Tough Nut mine from Ed Schiefflin in the late 1800s, then sold his shares a few years later and made a substantial profit.
Wow! That's some incredible family history! Thanks for sharing! 😊
You should look up Hilly Hickson buried there. Fell off some stilts and died the next day. His story is in the tombstone epitaph
Will do! Love researching new stories we're not super familiar with. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
@@CactusAtlas yeah the kid was 12 years old I believe they put him to bed that night he woke up to hear a fire engine in the morning then he went back to bed he just died

It's an interesting area with lots of history to explore for sure. 👍
Go Douglas Bulldogs!
Lung balm. I’m thinking tuberculosis. Like Doc Holiday.
To fake video no one knowing is gonna mail this much cash
Sorry I don't care about a rose bush. Bye

Glad to have inspired! Hope you have an enjoyable time experiencing these places too. 😊
