Could there be a more perfect location for an old west cemetery! With one of the Earp's buried there! One person even had the last name of McClintock, right out of a John Wayne movie. You really pick some beauties,Rhetty.
I thought the exact same think you did about the McClintock! I wondered about the history of some of the others in the cemetery. I haven't researched any of them but I'm sure there are some interesting stories. Thank you for watching Hans!
The writers for both novels and movies love using names of people who actually lived n that time period.
Really enjoyed this video and the history lesson. I have to imagine that all of the Earp brothers walked around with a certain swagger.
Men had to be tough in those Old West towns or they would've never survived.
Robert with Sidestep Adventures always reminds the viewers that when ever you tour an old cemetery such as this one, you can
add 3 graves for everyone that you do see.
I believe that Robert is right on that assessment for sure. I also think you're right on the Earp's having a certain swagger. I feel Warren couldn't really back his up. Thank you for watching Richard!
I think it's great that you youtubers help each other. I watch Faces of the Forgotten as well as Rhetty for History and really enjoy both. Thanks Guys!
There are a lot of us doing these grave channels. Another couple good ones are Grave Explorations, Hollywood Graveyard and Visiting Gravesites With Steve.
I absolutely LOVE your opening photos and music, they give me chills. And then your wonderful presentations are so interesting. Love your videos. Keep’em comin’ pardner. Please.
I definitely have a lot more coming and especially from the old west! Thank you for watching!
Wow, you really did get another beautiful day. I love cemeteries like that, too. And what a great headstone. I will definitely have to stop there one day. Like you, I've also visited many of the Earp family gravesites over the years. Hope your friend's service was a nice one.
We had a great service for him and of course I stayed until they finished with his grave. Sort of like my final goodbye to him. I left three coins on his temporary marker. I plan on making another trip out there this next summer. It would be nice to visit more of the Earps in California too. I know there is a lot out there. Thank you for watching my friend.
Good morning Rhett 🙋🏽. I love it when you do the Old West Outlaws. Thanks for sharing this, And HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙋🏽❤️.
Thank you for watching and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
Rhett, I really enjoyed this Old West video, about Warren Earp. I wasn't familiar with this particular Earp brother, I always thought it was five brothers, not six. Enjoyed the beautiful views of the skyline and mountains from this cemetery. This cemetery definitely has an Old West look that I find very interesting. Hope your voice improved real soon.and try to rest, too. Take care 🐎
My voice is better now but there were so many dust storms out here I think that had a major affect on it. There were also some Earp sisters as well but I assume they had better heads on their shoulders since we don't hear about them. I will have to do some research on them and see what I find. I would like to cover all of the Earps some day. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and this cemetery does feel like you are in the Old West. More so than Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone. Thank you for watching Brenda!
This brother used his more famous brothers reputation to bully people and it cost him his life. Virgil Earp actually came into town still with a bad arm which he had the rest of his life to find out if he needed to take revenge and he left town without any trouble. There seems to be no doubt that Warren started the fight and the other man was trying to avoid trouble
You're right about all that. Trouble followed many of the Earps but much of the time they were looking for it.
Just wanted to say I’m a big fan of your channel . Keep the videos coming !!!!
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the content. Thank you for watching!
Lot of missing stones, it sad vandalizing cemeteries but it is extra sad to take pieces of headstones out and do who know what with them. Thnx for another interesting cemetery walk!
It is sad to see that happening. I'm not sure if it was locals or tourists. Either way it's history lost forever. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for bringing out a video anyway, with life stuff going on :) Very interesting!
You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Things happen and we have to press on. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful cemetery.
Could listen to stories about the old west all day. Thank You 😊
I hope you feel better ❤️🩹
I'm completely better now. Just had a rough go when I was out there. I'm glad you are enjoying the old west stories. I have a bunch of them now on RUclips. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Glad your better!!!
I love all historical stories!!
I can’t get enough of it.
They used to have history channels on tv but now they are full of crap shows.
Sooo off to RUclips I go 😂
Thank you, this cemetery is fantastic! I thought your voice was fine but at the end it sounded as though you struggled, but your diligence is appreciated. I had in my hands the cemetery records of the one cemetery I mentioned on an earlier video but they were stolen and I am hoping they turn up for sale on the internet or some antique store, likely in Nevada. I'm thinking of snail mailing you graves of local people of interests, although in this area, most criminals were buried at their place of execution.
Sounds like you had some interesting cemetery records. My voice definitely struggled towards the end. I was trying to make sure I could be heard over the wind. Of course in the middle is where my voice is normal. Thank you for watching Jared!
What I love about your channel is the way you really dig into the history. I had never heard of this Earp brother and I enjoy the old west stories. This was a good one sir, and the beautiful scenery, was the icing on the cake. Great job!
Thank you for watching as well as the kind words. I definitely love finding the lesser known people of the old west and trying to breathe a little life into their stories.
Thanks Retty !! I enjoyed this video very much.
You're welcome and thank you for watching and coming along on the adventure!
thanks again for taking us along!
You're welcome and thank you for coming along on the adventure!
Sad that the marble markers and some wood markers are being destroyed and not being saved. But then again, nothing is forever. Thanks for posting this video!
You're right about nothing being forever. I think it's just time and the elements that ate breaking them down. Thank you for watching Bryan!
I’m going through your past videos next week. I’m new, so I’m going to watch the older ones.
Oh I probably have a lot for you to watch then! Thank you for watching and it's great to have you along for the adventures!
There are a couple of vlogs for one year ago that are popping up June 2023. Good to review them again. Miss you going out and doing cemeteries and travels for some time.
Very interesting story. A real old west cemetery gotta love that. Good history lesson. Kind of a lesser known earp. Have a good week and next adventure. Happy days.
You're right about him being lesser known. I'm sure if he had been there on October 26, 1881 he would have been in the legendary fight. Thank you for watching Greg!
this looks like a western cemetery..never heard of Warren...thank you very much
You're welcome. I think many people are familiar with Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan but Warren often gets forgotten. Thank you for watching Jody!
Super interesting! Was sent here from Faces of the forgotten. Thanks so much for sharing!
You're welcome and welcome to the channel! Ron and I share a passion for the Old West! He's a great guy. Thank you for watching Debbie!
Thanks for the awesome video.. Thanks for the background it made a great wallpaper.. Thanks for your service 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching as well as the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Pure rugged beauty in these old West cemeteries. 😍
Colorado has some beautiful old rugged cemeteries if you ever get up that way.
I do have a few videos from Colorado. I definitely need to go back and cover more though. It's a beautiful state! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for all your videos (and your service) from a fellow Okie/veteran. God bless.
I appreciate you watching and I thank you for your service as well!
@@RhettyforHistory Your subscribers (myself obviously included) are also grateful and impressed at how you respond to their messages. You're a class act.
I try as long as I see it and or it's not something really far out there.
Thank you for the great vlog. That is very interesting to see how those markers have weathered over the many many years..
You're welcome and thank you for watching. This was a great cemetery to visit.
I've been to Wilcox several times while in Arizona, but I didn't know the Warren Earp story and never stopped at the cemetery. Thanks for an interesting video and wonderful photography. Maybe you should do a photobook! I always have a problem with allergies in that kind of landscape, particularly when the wind is blowing. Gosh you found some very old graves there.
There were a lot of interesting looking graves and I'm sure a lot more interesting stories in there. I didn't research any others though. I definitely have allergies and it just takes the right flower and it will get me. There were all sorts blooming and especially where I was staying. Thank you for watching!
He was one of the nice looking Earps. All by himself at this desolate cemetery. Great walk thru. RIP for our friend.
I'm sure there are some other interesting stories in this cemetery. I really can't see how there wouldn't be but I didn't have time to research more. Thank you for watching Arleen!
Tucsonan here: Those Yuccas are Joshua Trees. That skinny cactus is a type of cholla (Choy-yah). Always carry a comb in your pocket while walking in the desert so you can flick off cholla if it gets on your clothing. Your throat is rough because you’re probably dehydrated. Add 1/4 Gatorade to 3/4 water so you can get rehydrated. Tip: if you’re not using the restroom, you’re not drinking enough. Note: the pieces of wood are probably original. We don’t get enough rain for things to break down as fast as they would where you come from.
Thank you for the help on the plants. I always carry a plastic fork to help out flick out things. We have some nasty stickers here in Oklahoma. I was definitely hydrated and made sure of that. I got to AZ and was sneezing like crazy but there was a lot of flowers blooming everywhere. Particularly at the hotel I was at. I think that is what kickstqrtef it combined with just a lot of talking and speaking. I figured the wood was much newer for several reasons. One the wood was made using a router and two the brackets used to attach them was much newer. It all still had an old west feel though. Thank you for watching Sally!
Thanks for the trip through the cemetery
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Have you talked about your Navy experience(s)? Loved this video. Can't wait to visit, someday.
I have in some lives that I have done. There are also slivers of it in videos throughout the years. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory, A sailor passing on the chance to tell good sea stories? The chiefs will never forgive you. LOL
This was wonderful. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching!
Hey Rhett, no need to apologize. We understand and so glad you're doing well.
This cemetery is wonderful!
A great western cemetery with a lot of history.
Wood in Arizona, New Mexico, West Texas, and southern Utah can last a very long time.
Because of very little humidity and very hot temperatures wood will last for years.
I've seen, in southern Utah structures that were built in the late 1800's still around.
Very nice job, my friend.
Stay safe.
Based on the brackets used to prop the wooden markers up I would say those wooden ones couldn't have been more than 40 years old but who knows. It is interesting to see. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Rhett, I sincerely want to thank you for your service in the Navy.
Thank you my friend.
Thank you. I come from a family that has a rich history in service so I knew I always wanted to be a part of that.
I’m lying around mopping, but decided to watch it now anyway.
Glad I did, this was Great 👍 Interesting information and the surroundings were Unreal.
A true real west, country looking burial ground. Looking at it, made me feel so peaceful.
America really is a most fascinating place. Thanks Rhetty. 😊
This really was a peaceful and serene place to have a cemetery. I didn't have to worry about running into anyone else. Which I sort of wanted that day so I understand where you are coming from. Thank you for watching and I hope you are eating and sleeping a little better.
@@RhettyforHistory I slept really well last night, for the fist time which was the day after the funeral.
Thank you.
That's good to hear you did and I hope your mother did as well.
Another wonderful video with a lot of information. I knew there were a lot of Earp's but I had not heard of Warren. You always research and present great content to your videos and I really love the Old West one. Thanks for another great one!
You're welcome. There were also some sisters but I feel like they probably had better heads on their shoulders since I have never head of their stories. Thank you for watching Leslie!
Ha!! I liked the back trail exploring in a Prius. Always interesting stops. I like the opening video vintage photos. It would be fun to be able to see “then and now” pictures to see the changes that have taken place. Mclintock I wonder if that is the person the John Wayne movie was loosely based on?
I wondered the same thing you did about McClintock. You can't hardly have a more western name than that! Since I was in that Prius I was really worried about trying to visit this one. I told myself that if it got real bad I would park and hike in. I don't know who thought it was bad but it wasn't at all. Thank you for watching Paul!
Interesting story and cemetery in the desert. Great video😌
It really was a great one to visit. Thank you for watching!
Getting to this vid late! Another interesting vid about one of the legends of the Old West! Perhaps you could write a field guide to the grave sites to some of these legendary folks! Perhaps one on lawmen and another on outlaws.
A great video i have never heard of this earp brother u did a great job on this video thank you
You're welcome and I'm glad you learned about someone new. Thank you for watching!
Great video! I hope you are doing well😊 I also enjoy seeing the decorative fences. Love seeing the desert plants too💚🌵🌵🌵
Thank you for watching Brenda. I'm doing great and I hope everything is well with you too.
@@RhettyforHistory I'm doing well, thanks..Getting ready for the holiday season🎄
We are too! We have been putting up Christmas lights.
It's nice that you go to these places and say the names of people who have nearly been lost to time. I'm sure they don't mind the company!
It's a shame that no one in the area like a Preservation group could organize a clean up. Thanks for this video.
Only thing really needed is some new markers before the names are lost. But I know that costs money and time. Not everyone can make those either. Thank you for watching!
This one was very interesting 🤔 Thanks
You're welcome and I'm glad you found it interesting. Thank you for watching!
Father Gallaspy was born 14 Nov 1810, died 22 Jun 1886 according to Find a grave. Great video, take care!
Thanks for helping out on that one. I appreciate you watching too!
Lot of background work on this one Rhetty Loved the video and the scenery was amazing Thankyou very much for sharing it with us
I'm glad you enjoyed this. It really did look like it was out of a movie. Thank you for watching Lindsay!
Another great video Rhetty love watching your video. I guess it's stays windy alot in Arizona. Supposedly it was a really windy day on October 26th 1881 at the time of the gunfight. I wished the wood here in Oklahoma lasted as long as it does in Arizona. My deck floor is 5 years old and already rotted out.
I think my fence is about 12 years old and it's just about time to do a new one. But I really have no idea how long it lasts out there. I assume it is much longer. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this good video. I like this one a lot.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it Betty!
Great area, appreciate your respect and informative approach as usual, I have been curious about the rest of the Earps and the others from the O K Corral incident. Just starting to look. Thank you for your labor on our behalf. Take care my friend.
Keep up the great work....
There are a lot of big names out of the OK Corral simply because of all the books and movies. I still have more to cover but I have a few more left to do that I have filmed and are associated with the story. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you! This is really nice. Take care of yourself.
Thank you for watching Michelle. I'm all better now.
I really enjoyed the scenery. Love the videos. Hope to get out here some time!
There is a lot to see and visit out this way. Thanks for watching my friend.
*Loved the video!* 🙂👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching!
I love the wood markers too
They were really great to see and it helped with the feeling of experiencing the old west!
Look at all the Agave Blooms there! That's unusual and I am from Phoenix, lived here most all my Life.
There was a little bar we stopped at outside of Tucson that still had the original hitching post out front from the 1800s. That wasn't no fancy treated wood. So I'd imagine a very long time.
Very interesting. I know the youtube channel Arizona Ghost Riders did a story on some guys that keep a ghost town painted and they have to constantly keep painting and at most I think they said the paint lasts 5 years. The sun is very harsh there. They also do a lot of wood replacing. So I really wasn't sure. Thank you for watching.
@@RhettyforHistory Speaking of ghost towns before I read your comment I was just sitting here thinking, there's another channel I watch. A guy owns the Cerro Gordo mining town. He repurposes some of the wood that's been laying around there. IDK either I mean to me it looks good and he's never mentioned any sort of preservation. I just assumed it would still be good with it being dried out. I'd like to know too.
Is that the guy in CA that purchased the ghost town? I'm sure a lot of that wood is good for a long time. I'm pretty sure these markers were created using a router on the writing. I bet it was all made by the same person and then of course it depends on the type of wood used too. Oak is obviously going to last longer than pine. I have no idea what type these were. I did notice where the wood was attached using more modern looking brackets. That's what made me think it was placed there in the 80s or 90s maybe.
@@RhettyforHistory Yes, that's the guy. Brent. Never considered the type of wood lol. I bet the type of cut and shape play a role too. However do you think it's possible those markers could be fake like that one cemetery? Dang I've gotten interested in this now. I've tried looking stuff on Google, but they only want to show me site to sell me stuff. EDIT: I found a link that says 3 to 10 years. Can't post the link though but it's from the National Parks website.
Dang I would have thought they would last longer that that out there. I think 10 to 20 is about what they would last here in Oklahoma depending on the type of wood and whether or not it was treated etc. I just had in my mind it would last longer out there. I think it is a good possibility that they could be marking places were they aren't really sure if they are there. Perhaps they have some cemetery records somewhere but I don't know how detailed they are. At least they didn't sat a lot of crazy claims of being shot or something.
I really need to come down from CO to Wilcox sometime. Used to live in AZ for a bit growing up.
There is a lot of history to see in both of those states. Thank you for watching!
Thanks again!
You're welcome Sandy!
Never knew of this Earp brother. Very interesting. Headstones are in relatively good condition for some of them being over 200 years old. As always, you've provided a very interesting and informative video. Thank you.
If I was guessing those wooden ones probably aren't over 40. They could be a little over 2p. Those brackets were newer. Thank you for watching Harry!
That was amazing, so interesting & very different. The blue sky looks just like our African Highveld sky in winter not a cloud to be seen. Thanks for the History Rhett. You all keep safe, & have a great Thanksgiving. Love to you all. 😃💝🐘.
So is it pretty dry there overall or just thru the winter? Thank you watching Yvonne!
@@RhettyforHistory Hi Rhett. Our Winter starts in May until October & we don't have any rain during those months. The rain's were late this year & we only had really heavy rain this week, was getting worried about my plants. 😀💝🐘
Hopefully you get a little more rain periodically.
Fabulous thank you 😊
You're welcome!
Great video
Thank you for watching Tracy!
Very thoughtfully done. There's always dust storm around the Willcox Playa. I'm surprised that the wooden headstones are still in tact. Thanks for the video.
Youre welcome. Those dust storms seemed to pop up everywhere in random places. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory the Playa is a dry lake bed, nothing but white sand to blow around. 😊
I see. It was interesting to see that happening and I enjoyed it for a change.
@@RhettyforHistory yeah, it's interesting to see. I always wonder if it will ever fill with water again. Willcox becomes a whole new sight when the Sandhill cranes come to visit. I'm hoping to make a video of that next year
I didn't know those were that far west. We have those here and some like to hunt them. They are referred to as Ribeye in the sky. I've never hunted them or tried them though.
enjoyed this! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
I lived in Barstow for 3 years. The desert is beautiful. It was about 20 minutes from Calico Ghost Town
Sounds like I missed out on seeing a great little ghost town. I plan on going out there again this next summer. Thank you for watching Sandy!
Love your videos,, cold it's going to be 22 here in Chicago tonight,,,u need more then long sleeves lol ,,
That is definitely Cole for sure! That I would have a jacket. Thank you for watching Victoria!
This was one of our favorite cemeteries we've visited. Something about the drive there and really seeing little else but the mountains and shrub around... Unfortunately we didn't spend a lot of time there as it was summer and those ants you saw were crawling around the ground absolutely EVERYWHERE. Didn't want to stand still too long. 😅
With all of the grass there it seems like rattlesnakes would be the bigger issue in the summer. I love the look at feel of this cemetery with the surroundings. There is quite a bit to see and the unfortunate thing is some of those names are about to be lost forever. Any idea how long wood lasts out in that area like that?
@@RhettyforHistory We've wondered about the aging of wood markers ourselves. Just visited Rhyolite and saw some wooden ones from early 1900s that couldn't be read any longer.
I'm sure the wood lasts longer there than it does here in Oklahoma but that would be a really long time on the ones you just mentioned.
Very Remote area, a good video very interesting Rhetty
It's actually not far out of the town of Wilcox. Maybe a little over a half mile and the town is right on Interstate 10. You could hear the traffic at times. The video I did on Johhny Ringo is about 50 miles or 80 km SE of this cemetery and is listed ad being part of Wilcox. Wilcox is a very small town but it is the nearest town to this cemetery. Thank you for watching!
What I like about the Wyatt Earp story is how he was a paid adviser on the early westerns from Hollywood. I've probably got the film mixed up, but I read that John Wayne met Earp when he was starting out and he copied the hesitating way Wyatt Earp would speak. When you hear Wayne say. Well... now... I wana tell you... boys... if you're... lookin'... for trouble... trouble...is what...you're gonna... git... Apparently Earp spoke in staccato-like bursts and John Wayne saw a way to make himself look more authentic. Stage Coach and The Searchers are two films that were worth everything else he made in my opinion. But what we have to realize is that when humans had to do a lot of things on their own, the movies were terrific. It seems like every step we make with technology getting better, our art forms are flattening out. In today's pop music for example, they don't write bridges any more. Recording sessions in the 50s were made with everyone playing their part and getting it recorded on the spot. Then tracks came about in 60s and 70s, there were a lot of fine tunes made as well, but as we became more technical the bottom dropped out of creativity because machines thrilled the muscians and engineers to death and so they went on overkill. You can't knock progress, but when you see a concert like the Travis Scott and Drake show with only one guy on stage with a mic in his hand and a backup track playing a loop over and over and not even musicians or backup singers on stage, you have to realize we've up and killed an art form. Live music concerts have become a parody because technology has scared away anyone wanting to learn how to play a guitar or take the time to write a song--with a bridge. I know; I know, it's easy to criticize but what I see with my eyes more and more is movies I end up not seeing to the end and songs I turn off before their finished. We can't go back, but we have to realize that machines may be good for doing a lot of our menial jobs, but maybe we shouldn't let them take over our creative instincts
What a great old west cemetery. Pretty much everyone in it lived the 1800s even if they died at the start of the 20th century. Been thru Willcox hundreds of times, but never been there.
This cemetery really was a great one to visit. Thanks for watching and coming along on the adventure!
I wish states would take care of their antique cemeteries. There's so much history being destroyed. It breaks my heart.
It is sad to see but at the same time it would be so expensive for states and governments to take care of cemeteries. I think it's better left to families and friends etc. Thank you for watching.
@@RhettyforHistory 👍
Thank you so much for your research ive never heard of this brother 👍❤🙏🏼
You're welcome and I'm glad you learned about someone new.
@@RhettyforHistory yes thank you 😊
Hey that’s great I’m going do this one also someday, he was a hothead!!
Yes he was. I think he thought he was tougher than he really was the alcohol certainly made him think he was invicible. He was involved in multiple things that were trouble. But then again what Earp wasn't? Thanks for watching Ron!
@@RhettyforHistory - you did a very nice job on this. People have been telling me to go there and it is on my list. I was pleased to see the cemetery didn’t look like a junkyard. Everyone was telling me it was really really bad and after watching your episode here, it looked really intriguing, like I was back in the real Wild West!! That dust storm was pretty cool. I did Morgan Earp’s story at Hermosa about a month ago (did six episodes in Los Angeles and was based in Rancho Cucamonga). I think I’ll put it out this coming week, we’re on the cowboys roll. I’m going to put a shout out in my description box for people to come see this one of yours on Warren as a neat follow up.
Everything I had heard from viewers as well as online said the exact same thing you have mentioned. I fully expected to have to park the car and then hike in. Those were way smoother than many roads in Oklahoma and Texas. I think overall the cemetery just has natural decay from time and weather. There are certainly some names about to be lost forever in there on those wood markers so that is sad. Replacing them with stone would be incredibly expensive though as there are way too many. I'm hoping to make it to the other Earps some day like you have. After watching Steve's video that one cemetery looks scary but I know I will go in there. I have a ton of old west videos that I need to edit and get out there. I still haven't edited the Doc Holliday one I have. Thanks for the help on boosting the channel and views. That's very kind and generous of you.
@@RhettyforHistory - No problem at all on helping, we’re helping each other grow this genre is the way I look at it. Also you’re a good guy.
On Steve’s video at Pioneer cemetery, I left him a comment about that atrocious condition and the tents, there are some more bad things I left out it in my comments, It was absolutely horrible and the city should do something. There are probably some amazing stories in that place on some old famous people… it’s just so disgraceful.
Anyway, onward!!! Have a great weekend buddy!!
I saw you're comment and I can't imagine how bad that is. I am really against allowing squatters in cemeteries. I've seen in it in a few cemeteries and most recently where Frank Stilwell is in Arizona. Usually when I see them in there you can smell the urine on headstones and occasionally you see feces. Not every town, city, or cemetery associate cares about that and I'm not sure why. Hope you have a great weekend as well!
I’m surprised that a historical society hasn’t done research and recreated some of the headstones. It’s an interesting place but sad that the information for most of it is lost.
Interesting didn't know about much about him Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Thank you for watching Debra and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
A really great video, I really enjoyed it. Sorry it was at such a bad time for you.
It was a sad time but under the circumstances I feel honored to have been able to go and I'm definitely glad I could. Thank you for watching Kirk!
@@RhettyforHistory As always it was my privilege and I understand at least you got a few breaks to help you deal with it
Yes. My friend and I always went on adventures so it was therapeutic to do this on the same day I said my final goodbyes to him.
@@RhettyforHistory I sort of guessed that as you seemed at times to either look or sound sort of wistful. Most sound as you didn't look at the camera as long.
I know the emotions you're feeling , but not how you feel. I wish I could help you. I think you can get my email. You can send me a private message and we can chat there or on the phone my LL has unlimited Long Distance for US and Canada so I could ring you back my friend.
I really felt at peace this day at the time of filming. I will go back and do a story on him next year and I will explain why. I'm just trying to give it time for the family. Whenever I visit cemeteries I prefer there to be nobody there as it is easier for filming. I'm not the biggest fans of noisy and busy cemeteries.
Oh cool Earp brother brilliant 👍
He's definitely lesser known but still a part of the Tombstone story. Thank you for watching Mary!
Amazing videos my friend; respectful and deeply interesting. Any chance you've visited or plan to visit White Oaks Cemetery? I believe Susan McSween is buried there.
Thank you for watching. I have not visited her or that cemetery but I need to!
Yea , we drove our small KIA sedan there. You're right. No problem on the dirt road, but the road in town there near where he was shot , we bottomed out on a paved road. So the paved road was worse than that dirt road. Anyway, great video as always.
I drive down that too but I think things are way worse in places in Oklahoma. I'm glad you paid this place a visit as well. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I went there before I started the shot glass thing.
Do you leave those at different graves?
@@RhettyforHistory It's something I started in September. I do a shot of Crown Black at some of the famous graves I visit. I know you said you saw one at Pat Garretts' grave. I was there in Sept. I had been there before , but I was back there doing the grave of Faviola . The 2 year old girl that some believe she visits her own grave. Cool story. Anyway, while I was there I went back to Pats' grave just to do the shot. Anyway, long answer.
Thanks for the explanation. I was curious on that.
Hi Rhetty, I just love those wooden markers, there so old but dont look to to bad. I was thinking wow your brave walking through there I kept thinking snakes, Nice cemetery the view is wonderful. Oh and yea, those are probably dessert fire ants, glad you didnt step on them.
oops I mean desert lol.
We have fire ants in Oklahoma and Texas but they are much smaller. They pack a punch though and these looked like the size of our red or black ants which aren't so bad. I think the snakes probably were hiding because of the cooler weather. Here in Oklahoma we may have more deadly snakes. We have rattlers like they do but we also have cottonmouths and copperheads. I'd rather face a rattlesnake any day over the other two because at least there is somewhat of a warning. Thank you for watching!
I pass through Wilcox several times a year. I will have to look this up sometime. Maybe you were able to get through on that "rough road" because you were driving a 4x4 Prius. I almost typed that all the way through with a straight face.
Haha! Of all cars.....if it was bad that certainly wouldn't have made it. They have all sorts of ground effects that are low to the ground. Thank you for watching Paul!
Very unique ☝
Thank you for watching Rebecca!
That cemetery looks like it’s just in the middle of nowhere.... what town did the residents of that graveyard come from? Does it still exist? Get well soon, sorry about your loss.
The town of Wilcox is less than two miles away. There isn't a whole lot there but it's right on Interstate 10. In fact occasionally in the video you can hear traffic from it. The last video I did where we visited Johnny Ringo is way out. It is about 50 plus miles SE of WIlcox and that is the nearest town to that one. So that grave really I in the middle of nowhere. Thank you for watching!
I was thinking about the cemetery from The good The bad and the Ugly ⚰️
It does sort of have that feel. Lot less plant life in that one from what I can remember. Thank you for watching Paul!
Very interesting story and cemetery. Do you happen to know the name of the cemetery, or is just Wilcox? Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and God bless.
This is called the Old City Cemetery and it is right in Wilcox. They have it above that entrance but it is difficult to read. Definitely and interesting one to wander thru. Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed video but I hope you sharing how easy it is to access doesn't lead to more mischief and vandalism. Not everyone is as respectful as you are!
True but I'm not sure when that vandalism took place. Might have been 50 or more years ago and in reality it could have been cattle. Overall vandalism really not a huge problem in this cemetery. Thank you for watching
Cool cemetery,it looked like Clint Eastwood might ride up.
Yes it did! This really was an enjoyable one to wander thru. Thank you for watching!
Oklahoma roads are pretty bad. Kansan here. Just commenting to improve your algorithm! 😬.
Thank you so much for helping out on that! By the way, it seems like Kansas roads are better than ours.
why wasnt a warrant issued for cactus jack, i know in the movie u had turkey creek and cactus jack, they show both of them as part of the posse at the end of the movie, when they went after the cowboys that were left
I would have to research on whether he had a warrant issued for his arrest and for what. This whole thing is two sides of law battling each other. Two sides that should be on the same side. It also got wrapped up in politics. At the time there were two papers in Tombstone and there were two versions to the story depending on which side of the story you sided with. The benefit Wyatt had is he lived longer than anyone else who was telling the story and the other newspaper that was against him went out of business. That's why we hear the story we hear today. As far as the accuracy of Tombstone the movie there is a lot that is off. I love the movie and it really is the first movie where everyone is dressed right in period clothing but it is off in many ways historically. Thank you for watching!
Rest your voice, get better soon!
It's better now thankfully. It was definitely strained here though. Thank you for watching Gwen!
Interesting that the Earp parents lived in Colton, CA, and Boyett retired to Redlands, less than 5 miles east of Colton.
It is very strange. If you look Wyatt is in Colma, CA. I'm not exactly sure how far that is away.
@@RhettyforHistory Colma’s just south of San Francisco, a 6-7 hour drive from Colton. Morgan is buried at Hermosa Gardens Cemetery in Colton, while their mother, Virginia, is buried less than 10 miles away at Pioneer Memorial Cemetery in San Bernardino.
Interesting to see how many are in California but yet they are so far apart. Thank you for filling us all in on where they are and how far apart.
so the rumor is that john wayne knew wyatt and was at his funeral and that wayne got his acting mannerism from wyatt, but i dont think wayne ever met wyatt
I have read that he did meat him on a John Ford movie set. The ongoing story is that Wayne did pattern it after him after meeting him. If so it definitely worked. Thank you for watching!
You should see some graves in the UK. Not fences but cages over them to stop grave robbing.
That's interesting. Are those on famous people?
@@RhettyforHistory
Some of them yes. I think the acid bath murderer has one because he was worried about people stealing his body.
It also stopped people stealing bodies to aid medical research.
That makes sense. We do have some like that here in cages and others buried under a lot of layers of concrete.
@@RhettyforHistory some of ours are protruding out of the ground a little. I guess to try stop people trying to dig down.
Burke and Hare where 2 killers in Scotland who murdered people to get money from a surgeon.
They got caught and you can see Burkes Skellington in the science museum.
The one pic of him, he looks like Bobby Kennedy
That's a pretty assessment. Thank you for watching!
Memories fade, families move or disappear; all that remain are long forgotten ghosts.
Lemons are supposed to help with voice issues
I was doing lemons, mountain dew which I hare and then in the video you can hear a throat drop too. I really tried hard to get that voice back because I knew I would be doing a lot of speaking. I think all of that is what saved it to that level. Thank you for watching Tracy!
I wonder if caskets were used in the 1800s or if they were buried people were just buried without one.
They did use what is called coffins and they were many times made out of pine. Many times they would be just a simple box but sometimes they could have an outward shape towards the top. If they were somewhere out in the middle of nowhere or a criminal then they may not have anything. Just depends on what was available and what the people thought of them. No telling what Warren had.
Enjoyed that Rhetty please take care of that voice. Maybe some tea with honey.
I'm all better now. Getting back to Oklahoma was much better. Thank you for watching!
