  • If you've driven from Southern California to Las Vegas, or vice versa, you've probably passed and wondered how Zzyzx Road came to be. This is the story of a snake oil salesman, and his attempts to sell health cures from a desert oasis.

    I just discovered your channel and I must say you do a great job.
    The time it must take to research some of these topics has got to be very consuming. Thank you for your time and effort. Your videos are unique and interesting. I have only seen a couple. The man that tunneled for half of his life was completely mind blowing. I wish you great success in your endeavors and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I will hit the like and subscribe. Thanks again and be safe.

    By making it a place name, Zzyzx became the last word in the English language. Once enough people accepted it as word, it was a word. 🙏

    the part about the fish in the pond which have been unintentionally preserved is interesting.

    00:36 leave it to the federal government to take what they want and not give a damn about who was there first. I am sure there was bloodshed involved! Shame on them for almost exterminating the indigenous peoples of this continent. Going back in history and seeing what our government has done sometimes make me feel ashamed to be Caucasian! 🤠🌵🌵🌵🇺🇲
