- David Douglas was many things: a horticulturalist, a mountaineer, and a famed botanist. He was last seen the morning of July 12, 1834, hiking around Hawaiʻi’s Mauna Kea; later that day, his body was found at the bottom of a cattle pit trap. What killed Douglas? Was it a rare instance of carelessness? Or, as unfounded rumors had it back in 1834, was he murdered by a man who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

LOVED this one and an awesome host

What is that
Maybe the man not really thinking , didn't warn Douglas of the traps ..
Making him feel pretty guilty but also innocent as well ..
Just a thought ..
Great video as always

Poor Mr. Gurney.
Why did you redo this video? Normally You-Tubers either say why in the video or leave a comment in the remarks.
Hey Carl! Great question. We had to take it down because we had the location wrong: an earlier version said Mauna Kea was in Honolulu, when in reality, it's on the Big Island. We try our best to be factually accurate, so we thought it was in our audience's best interest to get it right altogether!
Go to Fort Tejon California and see where a guy was killed by "A X Bear" (a cross bear?)
