I would seriously doubt anyone would know who he is let alone his role in history since it seems most schools don’t teach history anymore except what they want taught.
Tree destruction can be prevented if the authorities would just trim trees and remove hazardous trees from the needed areas. Jeff, when I lived in Auburn, CA a few years ago, PG&E made a concerted effort to have trees trimmed so they wouldn't damage the overhead wires. Thanks again Jeff for showing us a little bit of California history that I didn't know anything about.
That is so sad that the tree did so much damage! I hope there is some way to possibly repair some of the stones. Jeff and Sarah thank you so much for another great history lesson!
Thanks Jeff and Sarah. The more I know about Californias first politicians the more I understand how things never change. Thanks again for the real history..
Thanks for the tour of the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. My family is there. I haven't been there for awhile. Makes me realize I need to pay another visit.
Wow you guys got some crazy weather this year, only been once this year quick trip to Bakersfield and back, another great video Jeff thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for posting this video. I live about 10 miles from that cemetary and this is the first I've heard of the storm damage there! None of the local news outlets even mentioned this!!
Was raised in SoCal. Was taught the history of my State and the people. Yes it was terrible times. But if you choose to erase it then future generations will repeat it.
The recent storms might have made a huge mess but surely it didn’t blow in all those pebbles. That is a very plain and dry looking cemetery, those trees 🌲 sure are beautiful though. Thanks Jeff. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
I had never looked into the First Governor of California... also was unaware that San Jose was the first Capital... thought it was Benicia... anyways as always great job on digging into our State History and as always very informative episode! 👍👍
Yes Jeff sometimes our history can be hard to face. What's that old saying we must face our history or be doomed to repeat it. Anyway enjoy the video as always thanks for sharing.
That chapel has an underground mausoleum. It dates back to the 1870's and is the only underground mausoleum in the state. Must have several hundred crypts. I went down there once in 1982 before it was sealed up with a concrete entrance and steel door I guess years later. Before that, It had a stair case leading down to a locked iron gate. The chapel was built over the mausoleum in 1901. Curious and being a history buff even back in those days, plus a San Jose native, I brought a flashlight (no lighting in mausoleum) and squeezed through the bars. I was super skinny 21 year old back then. I took some photos too with my ancient Kodak camera with flash cubes. Only one picture came out though. As I recall, the earliest date was someone who died in 1876 and stated on his crypt he was from San Francisco, or a native of San Francisco? I can't recall. The latest dates were in the 1950's. One thing I forgot to mention, one of the crypts at the ground level was opened up. Apparently some family members had the casket disinterred to a new location outside the mausoleum. There was a pile a bricks next to it with the crypt marble slab. It was a women who was a native of Sicily who died in 1922. Inside that crypt was two approximately 6 foot long 2x4's that was used to slide the casket in. The mausoleum was pretty creepy down there.
Wow , Jeff nice surprise video on Friday, well Thursday night but I was asleep when you put it up. Anyway good video Jeff. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA. PS. Are we still gonna get one on Sunday? Hope so...
Wow, Jeff! Talk about a history lesson in this video. I'm not surprised by Governor Burnett's name being removed from schools and such, but I am surprised vandalism wasn't the cause of his grave's destruction. Thanks for another great history lesson.
How sad. I hope they are able to repair or replace all of the headstones. Trees are nice, but they sure can be deadly. I saw somethings similar last year just a few feet away from Lucille Ball's gravesite in Jamestown, NY.
I hope that they can repair the marker but I fear that it’s just not going to look the same after they’re done. Thank you for watching a live in the comment, Steve!
Thank you, Jeff! That was very interesting. I wonder who is responsible for putting the grave markers back up... family, State of California? That is definitely a beautiful cemetery with all the tall standing markers and structures. Once again, great research and narration. Closing in on 100K subs! 🇺🇲🚜👍
Hello Jeff Sarah seems to me that's more damage than just a tree falling over. I think that the cemetary has neglected there responsibly for that area. He is a part of history even as bad as what he was. Have a great day.
Hi Sarah and Jeff thank you for the interesting history it is terrible to see the damage being done to the cemetery and through the graves and not being repaired how awful. How awful this is thank you for showing it to us and going along and letting us see what all is going on because without you this would not be possible you deserve all the thanks and the much hard work that you do is appreciated from me. Love and hugs to you take care God bless.
I wonder if the city or cemetery will repair the damage….. well at least as much as practical. What is typical under these circumstances? Jeff, off topic, but have you seen the new Tesla semi trucks out your way? They are supposed to be at the Pepsi (Fito-Lay) facility in Modesto.
That Governor just looks like he needed his ass kicked. I hope the markers are repaired and set back to their original positions. You can't erase the past. Enjoyed the history lesson.
I lived right next to this cemetery while growing up. I even worked there during summer school break. The cemetery is owned by the Catholic Church. The local prominent Moore family managed the cemetery and the surrounding large orchards. (Prunes & apricots) I worked in both the orchards and the cemetery. Mr. Moore, the manager, treated this poor boy very well. I have never forgot his generosity. I have numerous relatives interred here. I recently visited my mother’s niche to find that my close childhood friend is interred nearby. Quite a surprise. One of the features prominent in this cemetery is photographs of the interred imbedded in many of the markers. My grandmother, who died in 1945 has one and it’s still visible today. Years back my 9 year old daughter and I were looking for her headstone. My daughter found it by herself looking at the marker photograph saying, “It’s her. She looks just like you daddy “! She had found the correct grave. Incredible. When I worked there as a young boy graves were dug by hand. Grave digging was an art and a skilled worker could dig one very quickly. It was amazing! Working, living and growing up in the rich agricultural Santa Clara Valley area was a wonderful experience…. and we were poor as church mice.
Thanks Jeff. another fine video. Didn't get your history envelope mailed yet. Will do so, soon. Also have a heavy book about the whole history of San Jose done by the then city of San Jose historian Clyde Arbuckle who by the way is Fatty Arbuckles half brother and a man my husband met several times who passed him on merit badges for Boy Scouts in the 50's and 60,s. the best to you both J and A
So many bad storms through the years! I recall other flooding incidents and very wet years. 1982 was bad followed by the Coalinga earthquake. When I lived in Exeter in 1982 was the first time I’d ever seen a funnel cloud on the way home from Tulare! Tulare Lake Basin actually has water and roads were blocked by Corcoran! Thanks for the outstanding content! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!♥️ p.s. I’m totally homesick at the moment…
The history of the first governor speaks for itself... 😖 *However, his monument was not the only one affected...😮💨 Thanks Jeff, for sharing this with us. That's quite a cemetery. 🤔🧡 On a positive note, you and Sarah are about to reach 100,000 well deserved subscribers. 🤗👏🤠
Well you guys are full or surprises, this time with a Friday video drop. Another great video. While we cannot change history and the actions over 150 years ago, I do believe we should also not destroy the history, in the case graveyards. Hopefully the authorities will restore this one to the pre storm condition.
I hope those get repaired. I know we've been fixing fences and cutting up fallen trees around the ranch for a month now from those storms! This was an eye opener story for me, what a sick evil man. Even the tree couldn't stand him.
Thank you for another well-researched video. The former Governor was a real racist wasn't he. Maybe karma took out his gravestone. Where is your better half? Please give your viewers a bonus video every once in awhile. Your videos are so enjoyable and informative.
Sounds like California governors have not changed. California is still high taxed. Only people going to be left is real rich or real poor. Middle class leaving in droves. It's to bad this has happened to grave stones. To many years of a drought, tree roots will come to surface in search for water then high winds come and they topple over. Would like to see a update on how they put everything back together. Thank you for bringing our attention to this.
Always sad to see a bit of history destroyed even if it was from a dark time, but all country's have it. Kind of ironic that his grave had a tree on it and a tree smashed it. Very good video Jeff thankyou
You mentioned the grave site may have been damaged because of his racist views (But it was the recent storms). If you approached 500 random people in California and asked them to name the first governor, I would estimate that NONE of those 500 could do so. I guess my point, no one is going to damage the gravesite of a person no one has ever heard of. Hell, half the people couldn't tell you who the current governor is.......
I agree, that's probably the only reason why BLM didn't get their hands on his headstone as nobody knows who the first governor is as CA schools don't even mention him or any of the other early governors. Everything now is cancel culture/liberal PC...kids aren't learning much of anything as teachers have to deal with discipline and walk eggshells around kids and their parents who might sue and make false claims of discrimination. How times have changed.
A lot of these people that like to remove certain monuments or cheer when they are destroyed do not discriminate they hate most people equally, our past is what it is and very few of us have lead completely innocent lives, the best we can do is to let it go and move on.
Makes you wonder how a man like Burnett influenced, history. His ideology was excepted by some, at the time. Now reject by most today he is just a foot note in history. Gone and only remembered, in a small stone marker, as a small man that he was! thank you ALL stay safe
Awesome bonus video y'all, and Good evening!! James Dobson was correct in his statement about "life trashing treasures", we personally can attest to losing all material possessions in the space of 45 seconds, but seeing our lives saved from the storms fury... That governor....something tells me that the glowing epitaph written on the marker might not have sat well with the Almighty, given that man's hatred for his fellow man, as an Oak tree of all things (1 of the strongest root systems), fell & CRUSHED into pieces, his tombstone...🤔🤔
Another job well done. Perhaps a different title would be "The first Governor after California joining the Union." There were governors of California before Burnett. As to how we view people now, it is very different than during Burnett's lifetime where racist, sexist, and many other "ist's" that existed in the 1800's and 1900's. It is hard to image such a horrible racist climate that was an everyday, an every-hour, an every-minute event that would challenge your personhood. In general, the markers in Catholic Cemeteries are the property of the owners of the plot. And if they don't fix the markers, so be it. However, with this being a governor, the cemetery will most likely undertake a repair. Unfortunately, the repairs may not restore the markers to their previous condition.
Interesting History Jeff, l really enjoy your vlogs. In my opinion any human that cheers the destruction of another human's grave is guilty of hypocrisy, (and need to get a life)for all have sinned and held beliefs that God doesn't approve of, which we ask for his mercy, such as Hatred, which is all too present in today's world, there's too much of that already.
Come on guys! Let’s get the History Hunters up to 100k subs! It’s an awesome channel and deserves the audience! Thanks Jeff and Sarah!
You're the best!
Made it!
I would seriously doubt anyone would know who he is let alone his role in history since it seems most schools don’t teach history anymore except what they want taught.
This Governor sounds like the typical politicians of today, making laws regardless of if they’re Constitutional or not.
Exactly. These modern day politicians are worse😢
@@kitchiesmom they are the same. govern burnett first speech was about genocide of the California native people
Tree destruction can be prevented if the authorities would just trim trees and remove hazardous trees from the needed areas. Jeff, when I lived in Auburn, CA a few years ago, PG&E made a concerted effort to have trees trimmed so they wouldn't damage the overhead wires.
Thanks again Jeff for showing us a little bit of California history that I didn't know anything about.
We must learn from the past and not destroy it. It’s History if we like it or not. Another fine video Jeff , Thank you
ONCE AGAIN THX FOR SHOWING THIS. I LIVE IN SANTA CLARA CA. MY MOM IS BURIED THERE. I SAW THIS FIRST HAND. MASSIVE TREE.👍❤️👋
That is so sad that the tree did so much damage! I hope there is some way to possibly repair some of the stones. Jeff and Sarah thank you so much for another great history lesson!
Thank you so much!
Another dark part of our history, but it happened and should not be erased but learned from. Thanks once again Jeff and Sara. Martin Wilhelm.
Another great video. Whether you like it or not, you can’t change history. Without learning our history, we are doomed to make the same mistakes.
A wonderful Thursday evening History Hunters video!! Thank you Jeff. ….Russell D.
As always great video J&S, Thanks. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Thanks Jeff and Sarah. The more I know about Californias first politicians the more I understand how things never change. Thanks again for the real history..
Thank you for this video Jeff!
My pleasure!
Really enjoyed watching this episode. Glad you shared this video. People should know about our history, good or bad!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tour of the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. My family is there. I haven't been there for awhile. Makes me realize I need to pay another visit.
Love your style. Speaking truth with respect. Even when you talk about people with a dark history
Jeff thank you for showing Governor Burnett resting place. Great historical story! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Terry!
So gr8 to get another HH vid Jeff! Thnx for all you do!
Thank you so much!!! Blessings!
Wow you guys got some crazy weather this year, only been once this year quick trip to Bakersfield and back, another great video Jeff thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for posting this video. I live about 10 miles from that cemetary and this is the first I've heard of the storm damage there! None of the local news outlets even mentioned this!!
I don’t think the news folks even know about this story! They missed a good one! We made the discovery though! Thanks for watching!
Treasures become lifes trash, how true.
Now I have an idea who the first California governor was, thanks to you.
Was raised in SoCal. Was taught the history of my State and the people. Yes it was terrible times. But if you choose to erase it then future generations will repeat it.
Amen! You can’t erase what has happened, only learn from it!
You are so right. If we don't know our history...good, bad or ugly we're bound to repeat it!
Another interesting story jeff 😉👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Wow. That tree did a lot of damage. Maybe delayed karma for the old governor. Interesting as always. Thank you. ☮️💖🎶
Thank you!
The recent storms might have made a huge mess but surely it didn’t blow in all those pebbles.
That is a very plain and dry looking cemetery, those trees 🌲 sure are beautiful though.
Thanks Jeff. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Great story. Hope someone will restore the markers. Glad I stayed up to catch it.
Almost 100K !!!!! Subs
Why would anyone want to restore the markers? Such pompous memorials to crotchety old evil racists.
You and me both!
Good or bad history - it has to be remembered. It's the only way to move forward. Thanx Jeff and Sarah.
Wow , Jeff nice surprise video on Friday, well Thursday night but I was asleep when you put it up. Anyway good video Jeff. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA. PS. Are we still gonna get one on Sunday? Hope so...
Yeah it wasn’t supposed to go until Sunday but it accidentally posted last night. I will try to have one on Sunday for ya’ll! Thanks for the support!
Gr8 story, but sad 😢 about the Maker. Will you're almost to 100,000 Yes...
So close!
In California, some trees are worn down from excessive hugging. This could have weakened it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, Jeff! Talk about a history lesson in this video. I'm not surprised by Governor Burnett's name being removed from schools and such, but I am surprised vandalism wasn't the cause of his grave's destruction. Thanks for another great history lesson.

What a terrible storm that was! I thanks for another educational video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for visiting my hometown of Santa Clara, CA! I hope your visit was a pleasant one.
It was a quick drop in! FYI I lived in Milpitas as a kid until we moved in 1966.
Thank you, Jeff! That was very interesting. I wonder who is responsible for putting the grave markers back up... family, State of California? That is definitely a beautiful cemetery with all the tall standing markers and structures. Once again, great research and narration. Closing in on 100K subs! 🇺🇲🚜👍
I too was wondering if repairs to the markers was planned.
I think the cemetery is responsible for the repairs. Thanks for the remarks. We are slowly crawling to 100,000!
Thank you Jeff for sharing this video and a lot of those old trees unfortunately are breaking off and destroying things now.
Sometimes for the better.
Mr.Churchill ever for the better.
Hello Jeff Sarah seems to me that's more damage than just a tree falling over. I think that the cemetary has neglected there responsibly for that area. He is a part of history even as bad as what he was. Have a great day.

Jeff, off topic, but have you seen the new Tesla semi trucks out your way? They are supposed to be at the Pepsi (Fito-Lay) facility in Modesto.
I hope they restore them. Blue tape made me think so. And yes, the other day one of those electric trucks was right behind me! Those things can move!
I don't know when you filmed this. Has any repair work been done? Thank you for another great film. Hi Sarah, missed seeing you.
Not that I know of. This was filmed about a week and a half ago.
In Louisiana, New Orleans primarily, there are above ground crypts due to the water table.
Thank you for sharing history with us.
We’re descendants of Peter. My mom and I were there in 2016. Ill watch the video and send to family….ty for sharing
That Governor just looks like he needed his ass kicked. I hope the markers are repaired and set back to their original positions. You can't erase the past.

Nice surprise to see your video tonight. Cemeteries are rich in history. Unfortunately racism is deeply rooted in history which still baffles me.
Thanks Jeff. another fine video. Didn't get your history envelope mailed yet. Will do so, soon.

I had no idea Clyde was Roscoe's half-brother, thanks for this interesting tidbit.
So many bad storms through the years! I recall other flooding incidents and very wet years. 1982 was bad followed by the Coalinga earthquake.

Another interesting show Jeff. Maybe karma for the 1st governor, knock him off his pedestal?
I hope those get repaired. I know we've been fixing fences and cutting up fallen trees around the ranch for a month now from those storms! This was an eye opener story for me, what a sick evil man. Even the tree couldn't stand him.

Wow that guy was a jerk! Great info here and I hope those markers get fixed.
Another great video!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Sounds like California governors have not changed. California is still high taxed. Only people going to be left is real rich or real poor. Middle class leaving in droves.
It's to bad this has happened to grave stones.
To many years of a drought, tree roots will come to surface in search for water then high winds come and they topple over.
Would like to see a update on how they put everything back together.
Thank you for bringing our attention to this.
We have a Burnett street in Long Beach too.
Very interesting video, thank you.
Thank you too!
I love these Tours
What a mess but I don’t care for how California has fallen apart but I appreciate what you cove
Always sad to see a bit of history destroyed even if it was from a dark time, but all country's have it. Kind of ironic that his grave had a tree on it and a tree smashed it. Very good video Jeff thankyou
Maybe a higher power is trying to tell us something it just had to wait for the tree to grow lol anyway thanks for the history lesson I love watching.
Could be! That guy wasn’t very nice!
Loved this one, too.....gonna try to find where I can get a pepper tree....pretty.
Those trees are drought tolerant as well!
That is shameful. Regardless of the Governor's views, his grave deserves respect. Timely repairs post haste!
You mentioned the grave site may have been damaged because of his racist views (But it was the recent storms). If you approached 500 random people in California and asked them to name the first governor, I would estimate that NONE of those 500 could do so. I guess my point, no one is going to damage the gravesite of a person no one has ever heard of. Hell, half the people couldn't tell you who the current governor is.......
I agree, that's probably the only reason why BLM didn't get their hands on his headstone as nobody knows who the first governor is as CA schools don't even mention him or any of the other early governors. Everything now is cancel culture/liberal PC...kids aren't learning much of anything as teachers have to deal with discipline and walk eggshells around kids and their parents who might sue and make false claims of discrimination. How times have changed.
A lot of these people that like to remove certain monuments or cheer when they are destroyed do not discriminate they hate most people equally, our past is what it is and very few of us have lead completely innocent lives, the best we can do is to let it go and move on.
Yes and some of those individuals who cheer and riot are racist themselves (BLM)
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
Friday’s a lot better now..... haha .snuck away from work to watch. I bet the other guys are looking for me!!!!! Lol
That mission will eventually get those gravestones repaired I’m sure.
I hope so. But they won’t be the same!
Sent to fast 99.3 thousand THATS GREAT MY FRIEND
Well done, thank you for sharing. I'm looking for the 100K party.
You and me both! Thanks!
Wow I just dig your vids
Makes you wonder how a man like Burnett influenced, history. His ideology was excepted by some, at the time. Now reject by most today he is just a foot note in history. Gone and only remembered, in a small stone marker, as a small man that he was! thank you ALL stay safe
Awesome bonus video y'all, and Good evening!!
James Dobson was correct in his statement about "life trashing treasures", we personally can attest to losing all material possessions in the space of 45 seconds, but seeing our lives saved from the storms fury...
That governor....something tells me that the glowing epitaph written on the marker might not have sat well with the Almighty, given that man's hatred for his fellow man, as an Oak tree of all things (1 of the strongest root systems), fell & CRUSHED into pieces, his tombstone...🤔🤔
San Jose unified school district renamed Peter h Burnett jr high in San Jose several years ago.
The former Governor’s grave wasn’t destroyed. Some grave markers and other grave decorations were displaced or destroyed.
Another fine story. Horrible 1 st Governor. Had no idea.
Wow.
Makes me realize how wrong people are when they say gone but not forgotten… everyone here has been forgotten it seems.
Lol John Walsh… another john Walsh the host of America’s most wanted
Hopefully the cemetery fixes these graves and headstones, there is some cement glue for things like this, quite a few headstones were damaged
Is this a replacement for the upcoming Sunday video?
I will post another one on Sunday but this one wasn’t supposed to post until Sunday!
Welcome to the San Francisco Bay area
Another job well done. Perhaps a different title would be "The first Governor after California joining the Union." There were governors of California before Burnett.

🕯☕️👍
He was the one trashing Gods treasures.
LOTS OF HISTORY IN CEMETARIES!!!! WE ALL DIE SOMETIME, BUT WE ALL LEAVE A LEGACY!!!!
Every grave has a story. It's just too bad the stories weren't recorded for us today.
REPARATION'S for the Burnett's !!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would have been cool to use that wood from the old oak tree.
Perhaps they did! Not sure!
I thought Pio Pico was Californias first governor?
Interesting History Jeff, l really enjoy your vlogs. In my opinion any human that cheers the destruction of another human's grave is guilty of hypocrisy, (and need to get a life)for all have sinned and held beliefs that God doesn't approve of, which we ask for his mercy, such as Hatred, which is all too present in today's world, there's too much of that already.
This poor fellow was full of a lot of hate. I'm sure his life was more misery than good because of it..
Great little video Jeff !
I wonder if they will try to fix the original headstones or make new ones ?
sounds like that oak tree was karma, honestly. these headstones will be repaired no doubt, but what an awful man.
I hope they fix them up a little. He was a terrible person and that’s why his story should always be told.
Agreed. Plus he was still a human being.
