thank you for including Gleeson in this episode. i went there exploring with a friend which was related to the current owners. it brought back many beautiful memories.
My husband passed last year and I went to the internet to take my mind away from all the grief. You two make me smile, you are doing what we always talked about, but it just was not meant to be. Thank you for your program I look forward to each video.
Sorry for your loss, Linda. It is always so difficult when we lose someone we love. We really appreciate your kind words, and hope you continue to enjoy our "pins".
Thank you. One of our older videos. We too love exploring these historical places. Hope you enjoy our other explores. We post new content every Tuesday.
I love the Egyptian music you picked to play during the ghost towns and as a theme. You should use it more often. The Egyptians were notorious for creating their own music
I really enjoyed watching your adventures exploring the Ghost Town Trail. It brought back a lot of memories as well as learning more about the ghost towns, such as the jail tree in Gleeson. I'm fortunate to live only about 30 miles from Cochise to start with. Pearce used to have a Fall Festival where the old store would be opened up. The store was full of antiques. I also have memories of when I was about 6 years old and my parents were exploring the Gleeson mines with a rockhound group. I found an old silver coin, which I still have. But, I also wandered off, walking by several open mine shafts and back to camp without telling anyone. Boy, did I get in trouble when my frantic parents found me back at camp! I recently took a friend down the Ghost Town Trail and she was fascinated. Thanks for your video.
Brilliant series. Many thanks for sharing. Nice to see a Sassanach lassie doing shows on the old west. This is one of my favourite topics. I cannot get enough of such history. See you one the next presentation. Cheers!
@@PinInTheAtlas WONDERFUL. I eagerly look forward to them. I just finished watching the Film TOMBSTONE for the first time, and found it closer to the truth than the other films of the same name. 🇬🇧🇦🇺
@@WhoDaresWins-B20 we filmed the ghost town trail over a year ago so the quality isn't brilliant. We have improved since and hope you continue to enjoy our channel. Thanks for your support.
We are glad you enjoyed them, Wendell. There were several in this particular series, including an in-depth one of Tombstone. Plus many more ghost towns, not only in Arizona but also in Nevada and other states.
Courtland: you passed by a business district on the right just before the jail. But only foundations remain. That jail is very similar, if not identical, to the one in Gleeson. Gleeson: the jail is a wonderful museum and is owned by Joe Bono (as is most of Gleeson townsite) who lives in the mobile home next door. The general strore was also a saloon. The wall above the porch used to say BONO SALOON. The large concrete foundation you explored was the school. The 2 columns supported an arch. An old pic of it is online. The hospital ruins are across the highway east of the saloon. It is made of adobe bricks.
Thank you for the information Jan. We thought those two jails had a very similar appearance. So it was a school, there have been many suggestions, so thank you for clarifying.
The old Gleeson jail has always been locked. Been here 9 years and never seen it open. And those old ruins by the jail are in fact the old school. The last time I went out there and saw the old general store the roof was still up. I need to go back out there and take a look around again.
Too bad you didn't stop at Dragoon and talk to the owner of the small cafe there. He's got some great historical information of it. The gun fighting, murders, the hotel, etc. Dragoon made Tombstone look like a church. The murder at the train station is quite the story. Living in Pearce and watching you check out the same places so close to me and when I did my investigations as well. The history here is amazing! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures
The history here is incredible and we would love to stop in to Dragoon to get more history and hear those stories! We may have to go back! Thank you so much for watching and the wonderful comment we really appreciate that!
Why didn't you knock on the door and talk to phil? He lives right there and owns the cochise hotel. I lived across the street and in front of the post office for about 3 yrs from 16 to 19. Phil's a great guy and knows a lot of the history of cochise and yes, the pharo bank is an original building along with the living quarters along side the hotel but, you didn't include those in your video.
It must have been really interesting living there. How long ago was that? Sometimes we don’t film everything. We like to leave something for others to discover or we miss it or there’s people about just to name a few.
I've been to all those ghost towns so many times. I've been inside all those buildings in Pearce. I think you could have gotten permission to film in the jail, the mercantile and other places.
It was a great adventure doing the ghost town trail. It was a shame that the jail was locked. Unfortunately there was no one around to ask. The whole place was deserted when we were there Cheryl. Thanks for watching and all your comments 😊
The floor of the building that you weren't sure of the use would have been wood and framed above the foundation wall giving the lower level full height inside. The entry steps would just have storage or non usable space under it. The lower level or grade level was not really a basement as a basement defined is below grade. So the way they used the entrance is typical of a church. the space on the left side looks like an open garden type outdoor space. It probably was not a municipal building but could be a courthouse. My guess church with meeting rooms or school on the grade floor. The two columns are not typical of a church though.
Yes, very interesting like your take on it and thank you for the insight. As you have seen it really was confusing for us like with the large columns. Plus we were told there were the ruins of a school or hospital around and thought those could have been them. Really appreciate the comment and explanation James!
Hi from Germany the entrance of that ruin building. I think it was a hospital. I think there was a wooden stair inside to the level of that whole building Maybe the uper Part of the house was only wooden. I know such old hospitals they had no1 nore 2-4 Bedrooms only many beds in one room .. maybe per Room 20 beds i think from the size it had 4-5 rooms then it coud have 80-100 beds or more. What i wonder the many doors in the basement..maybe storagerooms for the equipement. Then it was not a little hospital.
Hello! Thank you for the comment. Yes, this place was a strange one to figure out. We were under the impression it was a hospital too but love the feedback on your impressions as well. Glad your watching in Germany!
I love old west history. It’s so rich in history one could never get bored
We do too, Tina. So fascinating
@@PinInTheAtlas definitely

Yes, this is really cool. I love to go into those old buildings and see what’s inside. Beautiful places, beautiful scenery.

Thanks. We have several hundred music clips we can use copyright free. It’s matching them to the video which takes time. That’s Steve’s domain lol
@@PinInTheAtlas understand perfectly. It'll come easier with time. Us r doing great
what a fun 1/2 hour. well done!
Thanks James. One of our earlier videos. Hope you enjoy the rest of our content. We post new explores every Tuesday

Love how you two respect and do not destroy our American history, making the West come alive for the rest of us!
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment that means a lot to us! Also for watching and commenting!

Soon as you get off the highway anywhere in Arizona it feels like Mars
Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures. Cochise county is right next door for us and a fun area to explore.
You’re welcome, Hugh. We’re glad you enjoyed the video. We had a lot of fun exploring the area. There was so much history involved.
Thank u for sharing your trip with us.
Thank you for coming along with us we greatly appreciate it.
Wonderful channel! I love the historically researched format and appreciation for the old west.
Thank you, Ryan! We enjoy doing the research and appreciate American history. We are so happy to hear you enjoy our channel!
Steven we’ve been excepting you. 😄🤣 Jail time
😂
@@PinInTheAtlas that's right Andrea already has the key to your heart. So she'd rescue u fast

Thanks for sharing Anthony. We thought possibly a school - that makes more sense.
Thanks for honoring the soldiers. I admire you for that.
Thank you Thomas. Those brave souls deserve to be remembered and honoured like the Heroes they are.
Another awesome video thanks

Great ghost towns good info... 🤓👍
That's was great filming.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
Such cool places you find.
Thanks Jennifer, Andrea does exhaustive research to find these gems!
That intriguing building was the old Gleason School
Thanks Anna, we were unsure what building it was.
I would buy that jail and turn into an amazing home.
Time for a road trip we are no to far..
There's a forgotten cemetery in Courtland. There's a very old rugged road, hard to find, that goes to it.
We searched for it! Yep definitely hard to find. We walked a couple of miles along the railroad but still couldn’t see it!
Why didn't you knock on the door and talk to phil? He lives right there and owns the cochise hotel. I lived across the street and in front of the post office for about 3 yrs from 16 to 19.

Well there's a lot of towns like that in Texas too you might as well go there..

We have done a few videos in Texas Donald and will be back to do more.

It is called “YARD ART”
That’s when they made jails that everyone wanted to avoid. A great deterrent for crime! 👍👍👍
And in the heat with no air-con.
If you ever wondered where all the looted artifacts from the mines went, just look at the yards ,etc. -
Thanks, Darron we have noticed that on our travels. That is precisely why most of the time we don't give out the real location name.
Cool video
The building was a school.
Thank you very much for the information, Tom!
What was the bad graffiti?
Bad enough for us not to film it.
Metal cable... Not a wire...
Thank you for your comment Stefano
It's pronounced "fay' ro"
It is called “yard Art”
Thank you Kathleen!
