I just love the way you tell stories after you find the grave. Kid curry was amazing as a common outlaw. Crazy cowboy and indian times in the 1800's. I also agree that shooting a gravestone is not right. Just leave it alone. I wish always that people would just leave people alone too. There is so much violence against people for no reason.

[@sheilabock466]

The ambiance of that area gives you the feeling of the old west. I've always loved that area. And I'm always fascinated with the fencing around the plots. I wonder if it's the family's way of protecting their own or a display of affluence with the more elaborate ones. Great video sir.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It really does have that old west feel and especially so with the mountains and lack of vegetation. That's a little drier area with not the best soil conditions and then you have a ton of traffic. I imagine the fences are for both of the reasons you mentioned. There are a lot of Elk in the areas as well as pronghorn and rams. They could all do damage to the markers. Thank you for watching Sheila!

[@laurab1089]

Such a beautiful place to be laid to rest. Just perfect!
I absolutely love hearing about the bad guys of the Old West!
O'Day was a rough looking character.
Seeing that you are a huge fan of iron fences and gates if you can make a trip down to Natchez, Ms do so.. The old Natchez City cemetery has one of the largest number of fences I've seen in one cemetery plus a cast iron mausoleum!

Rhett, I really enjoyed your Old West video about outlaw, Kid Curry. It was very interesting to hear about his background and the gangs that he belonged to. Enjoyed, the overall visit to this cemetery and finding out about some of the other people who's buried there, too. Hope, Sarah's toe mended quickly. Great investigating, presentation and photos, too. Have a fantastic week. Take care 🐎

Thank you for joining us on this little cemetery visit. Sarah's toe is as good as she will ever get it. The official term the Doctors used for it was "smooshed." It's healed but she cannot bend her big toe at all.

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

Hey Rhett, Kid was on the run most of his life.
I remember growing up in Utah, that he was a member of the Sundance gang and that he had a very bad reputation.
He was, as you mentioned, all over the Western states of Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.
Very notorious and infamous.
Thank you my friend. Love these videos.

[@RhettyforHistory]

He certainly reeked havoc all over the place. I think he's one of the worst of the old west outlaws. It's incredible to think about the money they were getting from from train robberies.

Another great video Rhetty love watching your channel. Hope yall brought plenty of water to drink. I bought a book about Butch Cassidy and The Wild Bunch here recently but am currently reading a book on Doc Holliday. I read once where they called Kid Curry The Wildest of The Wild Bunch. I often wondered how him and Butch Cassidy got along since Butch Cassidy was never one for violence while Kid Curry didn't hesitate to shoot people.

I'm sure Kid Curry had trouble getting along with most everyone. Has to be a reason why he would join up with them and split. Same with joining Ketchum. They were all rough men though. Thank you for watching my friend!

Let me be the first to contradict Pinkerton in his statement on Kid Curry about having no redeeming value. Either he (or one of his co-horts in crime) before blowing up a express car on the train, let a Dog get away so he wouldn't be hurt or killed. There's something to say about that. He may not have meant much to a human after all that he did, but he meant the world to that Dog. Rest in Peace all who are resting there.

I can’t believe the states not taking care of that cemetery. Do they not hv a historical society 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@RhettyforHistory]

I really don't believe it is the state nor the city's responsibility to take care of cemeteries. However, the Glenwood Springs Historical Society and the City of Glenwood both help to maintain and care for this cemetery. Overall I think they do a pretty good job in doing so. It is a large cemetery with a ton of foot traffic. Every so often they do trim things back but at the same time they have tried to keep it more in q natural state that is good for not eroding the land on the side of the mountain. They also regularly fund the monuments for replacements, provide news signs, flags etc. It's a different area than what you might see somewhere else. We have to keep that in mind. As far as trimming back on some of the monuments that's really up to every day citizens to help pitch in no matter where that cemetery is at. As you can see from the first video it is no easy trek up there. So the challenge is, how do you get the youth involved? Other than an occasional Eagle Scout project or something similar the youth is generally not concerned with cemeteries. That includes my daughters. I hope this helps some. Thank you for watching Donna!

[@joseleswopes1400]

Yes, quite the cemetery 😉, a lot of times if they died in the winter they would hold the bodies in ice houses till the ground thawed.

[@RhettyforHistory]

So they must not have done that with Doc then since it was reported he was buried there.

[@Josephthe4th]

Good video . I just want to say that there is controversy over that actually being Harvey Logan aka Kid Curry that is buried there. I'm sure, and I'm not alone, that Kid Curry lived decades longer. I have a source that it's Matt Brady that is buried there. But Matt Brady may also be an alias.

[@RhettyforHistory]

There is a controversy on him and Doc Holliday both who have markers in this cemetery. Thank you for watching Joseph!

*_Kid Curry begins @_**_8:58_**_ for anyone else who was wondering when we were gonna get there. Not tryin to be rude ... jus sayin ..._*

[@ScoopDogg]

Does anyone know if they had a set burial depth or laws of buriel back then, because I've seen some very shallow graves in history docs even above ground just covered with a mound of dirt and even rocks probably due to time energy, frozen ground even risk of dying if the survivors wasted time n energy digging a grave when their own lifes were at risk.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I don't think there was necessarily a law or standard back then. The permafrost also had a bearing on some of those depths in this cemetery or others in places like it.

[@trr5291]

I've never seen a cemetery like this before. Is it a Colorado thing?

[@RhettyforHistory]

Up on a hill like this? Not necessarily. I've seen it in other states as well. Thanks for watching!

Rhetty,
That has to be one of the most interesting
Old West Cemeteries I've ever seen.
What an interesting location.
Why on Earth would anyone shoot at the graves, it's got to be brainless Kids,
sorry if I've insulted them... NOT!
Cheers,

That Schwartz grave was more likely German tah Jewish.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It does sound German and I had a friend with the same last name and he was German. Perhaps someone placed rocks on them thinking they were Jewish. I definitely don't understand shooting at the markers. What an expensive thing to fix. Thank you for watching!

[@lisanidog8178]

It's such a shame that things have broken off or missing on tombstones and weeds. So much for perpetual care.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Perpetual care is not something necessarily guaranteed at any cemetery anywhere. VA cemeteries might be the closest to that. The others will eventually run out of room which means funds will then be a challenge. Thank you for watching!

[@lisanidog8178]

@@RhettyforHistory you have to request it. When dad died mom requested it. And when they stopped I reminded them and they resumed perpetual care. Perpetual care is removing weeds and mowing grass. Well at least that was where my parents are buried.
