The cloth in the mouth was so they didn’t bite their tongue off. Your body’s reaction to severe pain is to clench your muscles, including the jaw. That’s also where the phrase “bite the bullet” came from. Soldiers who needed amputation in the field were given a bullet to bite instead...or so I’ve heard.
That sounds accurate, cloth yes and as far as lead goes it is a soft metal so that makes sense. Also one biting down it's easier to control screaming from the excruciating pain.
I went in 1992 it’s a tourist trap all fake big nose Kate’s was a joke I did go silver mining and gold mining that was really fun I could see myself returning
Not only in tombstone but across America. Billy the kid, Jesse James and John Wilkes Booth along side of the Earp bothers and doc holiday, this was all surrounding their time frames on Earth.
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 I might be wrong but I think you meant John Wesley Hardin. He was around in that time period but John Wilkes Booth died in 1865.
I ,was in tombstone ,meny times !! Rocks were never wall to wall piled up as it is seen here ! The graves had it's own covering only !! The grave yard is done on a slope hill side , there is also a man died of smallpox !!! He was dragged to a open grave by a rope , dumped then , covered in boot hill !! Monster piles of rocks ,there today !! But only one layer in my first visit . There is records & documents of all these graves !! But ,what captures my interest is other old family places in the 1880's !! Love to all , ❤ LITTLE OLD MAN JIM !!
You should. We took a trip to the Bisbee mine and ,a couple of years ago, and on our way back, stopped by Tombstone. Very interesting town. But some of the folks that work in the town say that most of it has been rebuilt a couple of times due to fire. Just kind of cool to be standing where alot of the old west outlaws stood.
There are some cemeteries out there that alao tell you what the person died from. There is a Cemetery index online that has Cemetery information from a place in Mexico that tell you what most of the people died from. Also the people that look after the Cemetery can have information about a lot of the older burials. I live in Australia and made friends with one of the Cemetery caretakers. He showed me the information he had on some of the residents of the town and were then placed in the cemetery after they passed. One person was buried there after a "Widow Maker" branch fell and crushed the guy tjat was working under the tree. A Widow Maker is a gum tree that lose a massive branch and would fall onto the men working underneath, leading to the wives becoming widows, hence the name. There was also other interesting stories too
I was told the reason for the name "Boot Hill", was that the ground was so hard and rocky, the person could only be buried in a shallow grave and their boots would sometime be left protruding from the rocky soil.....a little different take on the naming of the cemetery. I grew up vacationing in Tombstone and Old Tucson......good Wild West history! Nice work and thank you for the video.
OMG Lamont , I’m from the U.K. and have never been to the States , but if I did I would go to Tombstone, Arizona , I absolutely love the Wild West and the lives lived back then , I find it all so fascinating, a tough life back then , the most interesting for me are Wyatt Earp , Billie the kid , I would also visit Lincoln County to visit William H Bonney grave . But all these people are fascinating to me , I love the stories behind all the people buried there , good or bad .
Me,too.During our covid lockdowns,I attempted to copy,draw,and colour,some of the First Nation characters,from photographs in my American Heritage Book of Indians.I loved doing it,and some turned out quite well,considering I’m not an artist.
Never seen a rock cemetery.........Thanks for showing these graves.......RIP Boot hill Cemetary, May your history never be forgotten......OMG I wanna go see that
There's plenty of them in the southwest, the ground hard as rock, no backhoes to dig with, so it's a shallow grave then the rocks stacked up to keep the animals out. It's a strange hobby but we enjoyed going through the ghost towns and visiting the graveyards. ⚰️ 🌹 ⚰️
Check out Hometown Pa... There is a little known cemetery of all civil war deaths and town folks. There is a drummer boy buried there... I found the place by total accident wasn't feeling well on a very warm day here in Pa first day of buck season I found a high hill with a path up that overlooked what had clearly once been a church and town... Fell dead asleep it so warm and quiet I forgot I was hunting after ate something I conked out woke up to this Jesse Duke looking fella giving me a speech about trespassing on hallowed ground and after I told him despite what it looked like to him I just wasn't feeling like hunting and more like sleeping he went about telling me I was asleep atop of a drummer boy 13 years old killed in nearby Leesport which is north Gettysburg. Every now and then I hike up there and pay my respects to the kid.
Here ya go Lamont-ptomaine poisoning: pronounced “Toe-Maine.” Many, many folks died of this in the 1800-early 1900’s. I LOVE visiting Tombstone. Did you visit the book store downtown or use the Boot Hill Guide? I sat in the book store for over two hours listening to the owner’s awesome stories! Again, GREAT JOB!! What is ptomaine poisoning? food poisoning food poisoning, formerly called ptomaine poisoning, acute gastrointestinal illness resulting from the consumption of foods containing one or more representatives of three main groups of harmful agents: natural poisons present in certain plants and animals, chemical poisons, and microorganisms (mainly bacteria) Did you get the chance to go to “Thing” in Benson (about 20 minutes away to the west)? DairyQueen next door and a great collection of rifles, pistols & cars!! Keep up the great videos! 💙Chief Katiehawke (as in Police Chief).
Thanks, Lamont. You have such interesting vignettes to go along with your graveyard visits. I particularly enjoyed this one. I'm hoping to visit Tombstone again someday. Thank you.
If i remember correctly, you have to pay a small admission fee and that and profits from the gift shop is used to secure and maintain it. You cant just walk in to it.
Been there before in Tombstone Arizona,drove 5 hours to get there and it's pretty barren, also went to The Birdcage. That was quite an experience, one day I will travel back. The majority of shoot outs took place inside the saloons,not like movies show you, where they take 10 steps and shoot. They simulated a shoot out at Wyatt Earp’s Oriental Saloon near Wyatt's Hotel. It was pretty cool. Also some of the walls were bullet riddled, and chairs as well. So their was definitely a spook factor to that, in itself. Safe travels,and keep up the good work.☺
I've been there during that shoot out scared the crap out of me bc it was just like a now moment no notice.. my heart almost stopped...until I was told about what they where simulating..
What a great history lesson, so many very interesting graves and as usual very sad stories. Thank you for the OK Coral visit, what a great piece of American history, a most interesting town for sure.
Actually not; that photo of the woman was taken at the turn of the century and is not Josephine Marcus Earp. I found out the sad truth from a Old West historian.
@@kimberlyklaus7296 On another youtube site, Obsolete Oddity traced her to being a woman named Virginia Belle Pearson. She was born in Kentucky in 1886 and was a stage and film actress from 1910 thru 1932. She often played the Theda Bara type vamps. Oddie did it with facial recognition with over 99 % accuracy. He was too informed at first this was Josie Earp and did some digging and someone else helped him with more info that lead him to solve the mystery. You can pull her up on wikipedia.
The whole town is a great place to visit, although it is very touristy and not many of the original buildings are left. Had breakfast at the Longhorn Restaurant which is built on the site from where Morgan Earp was shot and later died while playing billiards at a premises across the road. On entering the since rebuilt building I was directed to the exact spot where Morgan Earp was shot. Just standing there, I could feel the history.
This is a fascinating video , I love the American West and it's history, so thank you for this video. So interesting to hear about it. Coming from England it's so nice to learn about that time in American history. Take care and thank you, would love to see more of these videos.xx
I loved the video and I love the stories of th. Wild West. I'm a fan of th old years th way they lived I'm glad you're doing these videoes I can't stop watching your videos THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOUR VOICE IN.THE VIDOES YOU BRING THE STORIES ALIVE THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are so awesome for doing this. It’s great to see these cemeteries through your eyes and to hear the stories. Thank you so much! Never stop doing these videos for us. ☺️
Lamont: “These guys were scumbags, it’s never too late, I don’t care how many years you been dead , you’re a scumbag….you’re a scumbag” 😂 Lamont that line you said about these scumbags will forever stay with me. I’m glad you made this video cause I know I’ll never visit Arizona to see the "Ok Corral" but I saw it through your eyes. Ever since I was a child I grew up watching Wild West movies. Strange that I’ve always been fascinated with these type of movies. 🤔 you have a fan here Lamont. Thank you!
I find this the best of your work. This is extremely fascinating And very, very historical. I learned a lot. I haven't finished listening to all of it yet, but I hope you talk about the rocks on top of the graves. How deep are people buried? Caskets? It looks like its nicely maintained. I want to go there now. I hope this graveyard never gets lost in the dust. Great work, Lamont!!! Seattle.
Lots of stories ; different Cemetery ,what a great kindness you have Lamont, To Talk about everything and Share with Us.... Thank you very Much, and take” my Hug for that 🤗😃 May Their Souls Rest In Peace 🙏🙌💐
And when you call shot gun, it's getting the front seat, but then you were the one with the gun to defend the teemsteer, yourself, your wagon, your team and anyone riding with you. ✌️🐎
Ah, good old Tombstone... the cemetery is a classic! I have family in AZ and have been to this town several times. Last time I was there was winter and it was snowing and so incredibly windy... we were the only three people on the entire street for a long time. I could have used my winter coat. Potential visitors take note: this area is not in the Sonoran desert - it's in the Chihuahuan desert, and this area's drier and colder than where you will see the mighty saguaro cactus. A fun thing about Tombstone is that, beyond the souvenir shops and obvious tourist traps, there are some interesting small museums such as the Cochise County Museum and the Tombstone Epitaph, which was the location of their town newspaper publisher for many years. The cemetery is really a must-see so thanks for visiting and recording it, Lamont!
Got back surgery tomorrow...super nervous..like I've puked a few times I'm that nervous. Honestly watching your videos man has helped me keep my mind right. I appreciate it brother man!! Be safe..keep it up!
I hear ya..I’ve had 3 major surgeries & the night before was rough but try to relax & before you know it your recovery will start! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
@@eastsidebadger8416 thank you I really appreciate that. Everyone telling me it'll be the best nap ever..and I can try and fight it but it'll put me out and All I'll remember is waking up..hope so..first major one.
Thanks Lamont! I enjoy everything on RUclips! I enjoy all and everything! I am 70 now, so learning is a great experience and I need to do it fast. I wish we would have had this, when I was a kid. You are right, the violence today and yesterday are pretty much the same. It’s a shame humans have the evil nature in them. Keep up the good work.
I just found out that my great grandfather was born in 1881 I think it's awesome that you did a video with these people who were killed in 1881. Thank you Lamont I didn't know this about these gentlemen. Have a great day my friend and please keep on keepin on.
That was awesome.....boot hill looks so different than from the movies 🤷. Used a out house as a kid......they dig deep into the earth and then you sit on board with hole, do your business then go. No covering and yes it can smell but usually kept down wind and away from home or buildings. Safe travels 💗🕊️
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing!! Amazing that the town kept up their resting place ❤ can you imagine the family does not know what happened to their loved ones ❤ my mom lost 2 of her older sisters to scarlet fever in the 20s. Thanks for finding out about the souls before they died ❤
The first "soiled dove" lady of the night you blurred out was actually Josephine Earp, Wyatt's wife that after Tombstone he was married to for 50 years. Very cool video. I recognized a few names from Boot Hill other than the Mclaurys and Ike Clanton. It's hard to believe that they're really still there. Again, cool video. 👍
I remember we went to tombstone from Scottsdale. It seemed so long of a drive maybe because we were hung over BUT it was way worth it. Thanks Lamont for going out there for us. Safe travels brother. ✌
It makes the old west more real when you visit the gravesites of these people. The violence and killing. Something else. Thanks for taking me on the trip. Very fascinating.
What a great video. History is such a precious thing anymore. Regardless if one doesn't like what happened you just can't take it away. Embrace History and learn from it. Tanks Lamont for the video...priceless.
@@dreemweever32 I seen it in the movie and had fun with it for a few year's afterwards! But I really thought it was a fictional grave site 🤷🏽♂️! Knowing it's legit does something different to your spirit! It does for me! 😉😊
@@hottrodd4532 it really does!! I've seen it dozens of times in real life. I live relatively close to Tombstone and go every chance I get. I'm sure I even have pics. Lol. Wish I could post one here for you.
I've been up there in Boot Hill..visited Tombstone once around 2004..Tombstone is an incredible town..was in The Birdcage..The Crystal Palace saloon..saw a few shows with reanactors...and the shops are great to browse and buy from..everyone is so nice there .🤗💞
Have visited this cemetery many times to include Tombstone. The Cemetery is the only place you can visit and don't have to pay, unlike some of the historical attractions in the town of Tombstone. Still it is awesome to be able and visit.
I agree my wife and I just got back from there. Whole towns way to commercialized, same things in each shop. Oh yeah and while we're staying there someone tried to break into our hotel room.
I was in the US 90 days 5 years ago. Landed in SAN Francisco and drove through 11 states and flew home from Chicago. Was a wonderful trip. I want to go again, see Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, etc. You have a beautiful country and so much to see.
Lamont, too bad you didn't get to the historical cemetery on Ft. Huachuca, just down the road about 20 miles. It's a beautiful cemetery that you wouldn't expect to find in the desert. Next time your down there, I would try to get to it.
I really enjoyed hearing of the history of Boothill. I am a history buff. One day I would love to bring my family to visit some historic places including this one. Thanks Lamont.
Hi Lamont, Thank you so very much for this tour. I really enjoyed this one that you did. If you show more of these types of places and the history that would be awesome.
Excellent job. Thanks Lamont for your hard work. I always enjoy your videos and the back story you provide. I live in Massachusetts near Boston, and see Graves from the 1600s. If you ever decide to venture to New England I have a lot of really interesting places for you to check out. Take care, lots of love and peace, and Thanks again Brother
This is the coolest! A few years ago, went on trip to Tempe and Scottsdale, Az. Nobody wanted to drive the 1 1/2hrs to Tombstone to check this out. Thank you soooo much Lamont!!!!
If you ever want to go again we should meet up and go out and explore.. I live in Wisconsin and just got back a month ago out that way to visit the Alamo on my solo road trip.... Let me know..
My granny was born in Bisbee. This was when my great-granddad was in his “roaming the earth” stage. So, copper mining in Bisbee was one of the many things he did in his life. So, that’s where Granny was born. She was still pretty little when Great-Granny put her foot down and decided they were moving back home to their people back here in Kentucky.
Amazing. I love places like that. Being in Australia I guess I will never get the chance to visit but so happy to be able to see it through your videos. As always, stay safe. :)
I absolutely love Tombstone. Haven't visited in a long while but I've always been interested in the Old West. Thanks for this wonderful video, Lamont! Stay safe!
Lamont you are one of my favorite vloggers. I love story telling and history..you do both very well. Thank you for all you do to keep these poor souls memories alive. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mr Lamont, I just want to thank you for this video! I have for years wanted to go there with my father on our motorcycle but he passed 17 years ago. I'm hopingto finish up working on a van and do some traveling, but This was amazing and thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this. It's great to see what must be the most famous graveyard in the world and the actual stories behind some of its occupants.
Robbery and murder was easy to get away with then. No shortage of sociopathic predators whose only concern was no witnesses. A gun is useless when they ambush you from behind.
Wow Lamont, this was really cool to see. The town and the cemetery were very interesting. Nice you read so many of the markers. Thanks for the walk ☮️💜
I Love ❤️ that Place! Living in Arizona since 17 year’s old! I’ve been there a few times! Love Tombstone! I Love how you tell the history of all!! God Bless you Lamont! You “DaBomb”✝️🙏🏻👍🏻😇🧎🏻♂️
When was the last burial in Boothill?... Dad had given me a little family history..he said that one of the members of The Dalton Brothers Gang was my Great Grandfather..
I went thru Tombstone in 1969 and wow has this town grown. Boothill was not kept up much them and there was not much vehicle or pedestrian in town . Tks for sharing

Holy cow Lamont this is a very important historical cemetery. This is so totally awesome that you are visiting this graveyard
Isn’t it??❤️
i liked the fat hookers but maybe thats just me..😃
lamont is king of the road x
What an awesome cemetery! Thank you Lamont for documenting these people!!!
Awesome 👍
My dad raised in tombstone. Grandma lived in Wyatt Earp house town got it back when she passed It is right down road from boot hill. Love from Arizona
That's so awesome!
You mean you got the house back?
Awesome
Tell us more about the Earp house please.
did she buy it from wyatt

I did go silver mining and gold mining that was really fun I could see myself returning
that's a myth. If you bite a bullet, you will break your teeth. They bit down on leather or some other softer material.
This is very true. Civil War musket balls have been found with tooth impressions next to field hospitals.
One thing about Lamont: He gon call somebody a scum bag Chile 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! 😂😂😂
Its like cursing someone out without actually using the curse words...
And rightly so!
😂🤣
Facts 😂
I'm amazed at the man that lived to be 99 years old. Back then they didn't know much about medicine, except natural remedies, which still work today.
Exactly I still do home remedies other remedies for my hair skin and nails
He was the guy the guy who invented the bullet proof vest.
He must have had really good genes.....probably Levi's.. lol,
I think it's luck & good genes.
@@jimmyonus5478
It seemed to work for him. Well, for 99 years.
He should have sold them. He would have made a killing...uh, alot of money.
I'm not American, but this was amazing Lamont. 1882 seemed to be a bad year if you hung around Tombstone. Cheers from Australia.
Gday fellow Aussie!
Not only in tombstone but across America. Billy the kid, Jesse James and John Wilkes Booth along side of the Earp bothers and doc holiday, this was all surrounding their time frames on Earth.
Actually 1881 and 1882
No pun intended, right?😁

Hi everyone 😃🤗
Hi Lamont ❤️💙🤗
👋👋🤗Hi Dulcex
hello
I've been wanting to visit Tombstone, AZ for so long! I love those old west towns and old mining towns.
Ghost towns, definitely enjoyed going to them. The old mining towns had a lot of children's graves, the mortality rates was staggering for children.
You should, it's awesome!
Wowsers, the wild, wild west! Thankyou for sharing Lamont, what an interesting place!
Wow would have loved to see all these graves with stones on them. Lucky you Lamont ❤
You are so awesome for doing this. It’s great to see these cemeteries through your eyes and to hear the stories. Thank you so much! Never stop doing these videos for us. ☺️
I second that motion!
ActuallyMorgan Earp was killed and Virgil was injured in Tombstone.
Lamont: “These guys were scumbags, it’s never too late, I don’t care how many years you been dead , you’re a scumbag….you’re a scumbag” 😂 Lamont that line you said about these scumbags will forever stay with me. I’m glad you made this video cause I know I’ll never visit Arizona to see the "Ok Corral" but I saw it through your eyes. Ever since I was a child I grew up watching Wild West movies. Strange that I’ve always been fascinated with these type of movies. 🤔 you have a fan here Lamont. Thank you!
I find this the best of your work. This is extremely fascinating And very, very historical. I learned a lot. I haven't finished listening to all of it yet, but I hope you talk about the rocks on top of the graves. How deep are people buried? Caskets? It looks like its nicely maintained. I want to go there now. I hope this graveyard never gets lost in the dust. Great work, Lamont!!! Seattle.
Lots of stories ; different Cemetery ,what a great kindness you have Lamont,
To Talk about everything and Share with Us....
Thank you very Much, and take” my Hug for that 🤗😃
May Their Souls Rest In Peace 🙏🙌💐
A teemsteer will be someone who drove a wagon or coach.
That's where the jargon to describe a truck- driver "Teamster"- came from.
And when you call shot gun,
it's getting the front seat, but then you were the one with the gun to defend the teemsteer, yourself, your wagon, your team and anyone riding with you. ✌️🐎
Ah, good old Tombstone... the cemetery is a classic! I have family in AZ and have been to this town several times. Last time I was there was winter and it was snowing and so incredibly windy... we were the only three people on the entire street for a long time. I could have used my winter coat. Potential visitors take note: this area is not in the Sonoran desert - it's in the Chihuahuan desert, and this area's drier and colder than where you will see the mighty saguaro cactus. A fun thing about Tombstone is that, beyond the souvenir shops and obvious tourist traps, there are some interesting small museums such as the Cochise County Museum and the Tombstone Epitaph, which was the location of their town newspaper publisher for many years. The cemetery is really a must-see so thanks for visiting and recording it, Lamont!
Nobody has ever done as good a job showing and narrating the grave sites. Thumbs up.
This was an awesome post Lamont. Many unable to travel will get to see this because of you! Stay warm in Houston!
Got back surgery tomorrow...super nervous..like I've puked a few times I'm that nervous. Honestly watching your videos man has helped me keep my mind right. I appreciate it brother man!! Be safe..keep it up!
I hear ya..I’ve had 3 major surgeries & the night before was rough but try to relax & before you know it your recovery will start! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
@@eastsidebadger8416 thank you I really appreciate that. Everyone telling me it'll be the best nap ever..and I can try and fight it but it'll put me out and All I'll remember is waking up..hope so..first major one.
Good luck . Take care . 🙏🙏
Thanks Lamont! I enjoy everything on RUclips! I enjoy all and everything! I am 70 now, so learning is a great experience and I need to do it fast. I wish we would have had this, when I was a kid. You are right, the violence today and yesterday are pretty much the same. It’s a shame humans have the evil nature in them. Keep up the good work.
I just found out that my great grandfather was born in 1881 I think it's awesome that you did a video with these people who were killed in 1881. Thank you Lamont I didn't know this about these gentlemen. Have a great day my friend and please keep on keepin on.
Love your different cemerety places.
That was awesome.....boot hill looks so different than from the movies 🤷. Used a out house as a kid......they dig deep into the earth and then you sit on board with hole, do your business then go. No covering and yes it can smell but usually kept down wind and away from home or buildings. Safe travels 💗🕊️
What a fantastic piece Lamont! Such history and much more! Thank you for time and giving history lessons!
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing!! Amazing that the town kept up their resting place ❤ can you imagine the family does not know what happened to their loved ones ❤ my mom lost 2 of her older sisters to scarlet fever in the 20s. Thanks for finding out about the souls before they died ❤
The first "soiled dove" lady of the night you blurred out was actually Josephine Earp, Wyatt's wife that after Tombstone he was married to for 50 years. Very cool video. I recognized a few names from Boot Hill other than the Mclaurys and Ike Clanton. It's hard to believe that they're really still there. Again, cool video. 👍
I remember we went to tombstone from Scottsdale. It seemed so long of a drive maybe because we were hung over BUT it was way worth it. Thanks Lamont for going out there for us. Safe travels brother. ✌
It makes the old west more real when you visit the gravesites of these people. The violence and killing. Something else. Thanks for taking me on the trip. Very fascinating.
Thank You Lamont!!!! You do an amazing job on all your videos around this country! I Learn something new every time I watch one.
What a great video. History is such a precious thing anymore. Regardless if one doesn't like what happened you just can't take it away. Embrace History and learn from it. Tanks Lamont for the video...priceless.
Lester Moore 4 shots from a 44 - No Les No more!! I love Tombstone and Boot Hill!!
Dammitt Stacy! No sooner than I typed that same quote and sent it did I see yours! Ya beat me to it; so I went back and deleted it! 😆🤣👍🏽
@@hottrodd4532 no need to delete!! Lol. It's my favorite grave in Tombstone. Most unique quote I've ever seen on a grave.
@@dreemweever32 I seen it in the movie and had fun with it for a few year's afterwards! But I really thought it was a fictional grave site 🤷🏽♂️! Knowing it's legit does something different to your spirit! It does for me! 😉😊
@@hottrodd4532 it really does!! I've seen it dozens of times in real life. I live relatively close to Tombstone and go every chance I get. I'm sure I even have pics. Lol. Wish I could post one here for you.
I believe the lyrics from the old song went "Here lies Les Moore four shots from a 44, no less no more". Now that's clever.
This place is a real gem. A must-visit spot for Wild West history fans.
I've been up there in Boot Hill..visited Tombstone once around 2004..Tombstone is an incredible town..was in The Birdcage..The Crystal Palace saloon..saw a few shows with reanactors...and the shops are great to browse and buy from..everyone is so nice there .🤗💞
Have visited this cemetery many times to include Tombstone. The Cemetery is the only place you can visit and don't have to pay, unlike some of the historical attractions in the town of Tombstone. Still it is awesome to be able and visit.
I agree my wife and I just got back from there. Whole towns way to commercialized, same things in each shop. Oh yeah and while we're staying there someone tried to break into our hotel room.
You have to pay now. It sucks.
Wow!!! Lamont, what a brilliant video. Your research was awesome. Xx
I was in the US 90 days 5 years ago. Landed in SAN Francisco and drove through 11 states and flew home from Chicago. Was a wonderful trip. I want to go again, see Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, etc. You have a beautiful country and so much to see.
Fascinating !!!! Thank you Lamont ! Keep moving on and teaching American history!
Hello my friend always so happy when new video pop's up always so interesting thank you for taking us along
Lamont, you put in a lot of work for your Channel. Keep it going.
My Dad would have loved this video, he enjoyed all the old cowboy and Indian films. I really enjoyed this. Thank you
Lamont, too bad you didn't get to the historical cemetery on Ft. Huachuca, just down the road about 20 miles. It's a beautiful cemetery that you wouldn't expect to find in the desert. Next time your down there, I would try to get to it.
I really enjoyed hearing of the history of Boothill. I am a history buff. One day I would love to bring my family to visit some historic places including this one. Thanks Lamont.
Dude I take my family out there often and they love that cemetery. I've done construction out there and it's fun to be there
Hi Lamont,
Thank you so very much for this tour. I really enjoyed this one that you did. If you show more of these types of places and the history that would be awesome.
This is my favourite video thus far ! Awesome work Lamont
I've never been this early! Arizona loves you Lamont❤ Thank you for the amazing content
Pasa tu facebook
This was a awesome video so glad you went into town to show what it looks like . Great job Lamont.
Awesome educational video friend. Great history.
You really get around Mr Lamont - traveling the USA & seeing the country 🙂👍
That Main Street kind of reminds me of Virginia City, and the storefront museums. Glad you came here, glad you are visiting the cemetery
My husband and I were married in Tombstone and he was raised there. Pretty fun little town.
Excellent job. Thanks Lamont for your hard work. I always enjoy your videos and the back story you provide. I live in Massachusetts near Boston, and see Graves from the 1600s. If you ever decide to venture to New England I have a lot of really interesting places for you to check out. Take care, lots of love and peace, and Thanks again Brother
Wow how different life was 100+ years ago. Brutal! Very very interesting graveyard Lamont!
This is the coolest! A few years ago, went on trip to Tempe and Scottsdale, Az. Nobody wanted to drive the 1 1/2hrs to Tombstone to check this out. Thank you soooo much Lamont!!!!
If you ever want to go again we should meet up and go out and explore.. I live in Wisconsin and just got back a month ago out that way to visit the Alamo on my solo road trip.... Let me know..
It would have been more like 2 1/2 hours.
Yes coffee does wonder for headaches...I cant imagine living back then
Love history like this!
The coffee cures caffeine headaches because you're actually in the withdrawal of it.
My granny was born in Bisbee. This was when my great-granddad was in his “roaming the earth” stage. So, copper mining in Bisbee was one of the many things he did in his life. So, that’s where Granny was born. She was still pretty little when Great-Granny put her foot down and decided they were moving back home to their people back here in Kentucky.
Amazing. I love places like that. Being in Australia I guess I will never get the chance to visit but so happy to be able to see it through your videos. As always, stay safe. :)
I absolutely love Tombstone. Haven't visited in a long while but I've always been interested in the Old West. Thanks for this wonderful video, Lamont! Stay safe!
Fascinating tombstones with their stories, thanks, Lamont!
Wow, of all the graveyards I have followed you to, this is the one I am so fascinated in. wonderful piece of history. Thanks Lamont.
I love how informational your videos are.
This cemetery look like a Halloween stage the way the landscape is designed. Wow killed over his shirt color. smh
People still die over the color of their clothes. Bloods and Crips for example.
black shirts matter you know..
The Central American gangs were a problem - way back then.
@@themodsify 90s LA kid here, and this is so true.
They were banging well BEFORE BUT urnam culture took it over the top and made it a global epidemic
Lamont you are one of my favorite vloggers. I love story telling and history..you do both very well. Thank you for all you do to keep these poor souls memories alive. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mr Lamont, I just want to thank you for this video! I have for years wanted to go there with my father on our motorcycle but he passed 17 years ago. I'm hopingto finish up working on a van and do some traveling, but This was amazing and thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this. It's great to see what must be the most famous graveyard in the world and the actual stories behind some of its occupants.
This is one of the best history videos that I have seen. Thank you so much!! Your amazing 👍🏼
I guess that seth mcfarland description in his movie"A thousand ways to die in the west". Was pretty accurate 😃🤣
Yeppers 😉
Thats what I thought 😤
Robbery and murder was easy to get away with then. No shortage of sociopathic predators whose only concern was no witnesses. A gun is useless when they ambush you from behind.
Wow Lamont, this was really cool to see. The town and the cemetery were very interesting. Nice you read so many of the markers. Thanks for the walk ☮️💜
I Love ❤️ that Place! Living in Arizona since 17 year’s old! I’ve been there a few times! Love Tombstone! I Love how you tell the history of all!! God Bless you Lamont! You “DaBomb”✝️🙏🏻👍🏻😇🧎🏻♂️
When was the last burial in Boothill?...
Dad had given me a little family history..he said that one of the members of The Dalton Brothers Gang was my Great Grandfather..
1945
That's so interesting I wonder how you'd find out for sure that would be really amazing to find photos from then
Wow!!! Cool😍
👍
Very interesting Lamont I'm from the UK and the old west interests me a lot stay safe lamont
I went thru Tombstone in 1969 and wow has this town grown. Boothill was not kept up much them and there was not much vehicle or pedestrian in town . Tks for sharing
Thanks Lamont, I always like watching your little documentaries when I need some quiet time. Peace out brother, G.
