History Hunters. My history addiction. In today's edition of cemetery safari, Jeff plays sprinkler dodge. His secret for staying young has been revealed.
Thank you for the nice compliment!
@@jbenziggy Is it true that John Wayne knew Wyatt Earp?
@@scottwalker6897 I heard that too. Supposedly Wayne modeled his walk and distinctive modulation when he spoke, after Wyatt Earp.
VT
@@scottwalker6897 I suspect that the two never met. Wayne's first movie role was in 1930 and Wyatt Earp died in 1929.
I’m an architectural historian by training-that house would be called “Queen Anne Stick Style.”
Really fascinating! Thank you so much for these videos. I cannot get enough of the Earp stories.
I'm a member of The American Institute of Architects. The Earps' Colton, California cottage is definitely built in the later 1800s; certainly could be built before 1882. It would be nice if someone were willing to restore it; it is certainly small enough that it would not be too big of an endeavor.
I absolutely agree with you that it definitely should be restored as I believe it should be registered w/The Historic Preservation Office especially in Colton California……To restore the home back to it’s glory days definitely would be a beautiful sight to see……
Any builder who's worth a damn, can build a structure to resemble 1880's architecture. The only way to know for sure would be to access the crawlspace and or the attic to examine the lumber used in that house.
“To big of an endeavour”? It’s “too big an endeavour “. I don’t know how you Americans manage to make up a whole new language because you didn’t have any education in the English language!
@ryanbotha5180 pathetic takeaway.
Hubby and I own a historic ranch in San Bernardino County. Building permits weren’t required in the County until 1949. I was looking for records on the main house, and there weren’t any, because it was built before permits were required. I was painting the bathroom, and I removed the medicine cabinet mirror. Behind it was a hand written date from September of 1942. Sometimes builders will carve their name and a date on a beam in the attic.
I suspect the house you showed is from the 1800’s, but because permits weren’t required, no record exists. And some modification that required a permit was made in the 1970’s. Maybe a new roof or modern electrician wire upgrade.
Plat maps can be helpful. Even in eastern Dakota Territory in the 1870's there were plat maps.
What stood out to me in today's episode is the fact that the Earp family took care of each other; looked out for each other's interest.
I purchased a set of steer horns from a building in Tombstone where the building stood where Morgan was shot. The original building burnt down just three months after Morgan was killed. Been to Tombstone several times. It one of my favorite towns. Great video!
Great episode! It was really cool to see the house. I also believe that is the original Earp house. Always love how you are able to find these little gems across California.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We were in River View Cemetery, Portland Oregon, searching for the grave of George Pickett's son (Pickett's Charge, Gettysburg). Never found that, but did stumble upon Virgil Earp's grave.
Thanks for an informative video!
Very cool! I wish he was buried back down in Tombstone! LOL! None of the Earps are!
Great episode, Jeff. Color me entertained and educated. I love the old west characters and history. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. This channel deserves way more subscribers.
We're getting there. It just is taking forever! CZcams could make is an overnight sensation if they would recommend us more. The morbid lady who looks like she is a mortician and talks about dead people gets hundreds of thousands of views in days because YT recommends her (and because people have a morbid side to them). LOL
The Earp family could be a whole college history course. Probably is. So interconnected with so much. Thank you for another enlightening video. All of my limited number of neurons and dendrites are firing. These are fascinating people.
Nice work! My grandfather was a friend of Wyatt in Nome. I have found a reference of grandpa singing opera in Wyatt’s Dexter saloon. I have a picture of grandpa with Wyatt and John Clum on the sands of Nome taken in 1900. He and my grandma are buried in Riverside cemetery, Portland, Oregon near Virgil’s grave. Virgil’s grave site alway has fresh flowers on it!
There 's Sarah.
...Great to see your show with you Sarah.
My parents are buried down the road from Wyatt and Josephine in Colma ..i always visit Wyatt when i go there..
Nicely done video. I grew up with the Earp's. My kindergarten teacher was a great grand child and her son was the same age as me and in the same grade. It's amazing how much history is around all of us... Thanks for sharing and for all of your efforts. 👍
Great job as usual. Seeing all the grave markers in the video in such bad repair reminded me of the great work of the grave restorers I see on CZcams and tictok. They bring the knocked down headstones upright, and clean the surface. A true tender mercy for the family and descendants.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I don’t think any family is visiting the grave
My wife and I were in Tombstone AZ about 1 week ago. We visited the building where Morgan Earp was assassinated. Amazingly the photo that Jeff uses here matches the room to this day. The bar is gone but the back of the room remains intact. There is also a pool table in the spot where Morgan was shot. The proprietor, Cindy, came out and spoke with us. She was very knowledgeable and informative. We were standing on the very spot where this incident took place. Tombstone was a most interesting place and a lot of fun if you enjoy this history. My wife, who was not familiar with the story, enjoyed Tombstone immensely. Wooden sidewalks and dirt streets. We were there two days and enjoyed every minute. So much to see and to visit. Make sure you do a tour of the famous Birdcage Saloon and Theater. It's amazingly original and was one of the few buildings to survive a later fire. Brothel, Faro tables, gambling items, bar and entertainment stage all still in original condition. Many original artifacts. Boot Hill Grave Yard just outside town has 250 most interesting graves. Many murdered, hanged, shot, and victims of various incidents. Each has a story. A ton of old west history here.
I'm an old guy and it hurts me how much younger people don"t know about the history of this country but thanks for trying.
From one Jeff to another, Thank you for yet another exciting episode. I've always loved History. History, good or bad, is the foundation of the present and future that will one day itself be "History". We should always remember it and learn from it.
Thank you Jeff and Sarah. Looking forward to the next episode.
God Bless you both.
I love the cemeteries you pass through. Coming from the midwest to California I was really blown away how much more ornate markers are here as well as how much older the cemetaries seem to be. Look forward to all your videos and the amount of detail you go into. Love the pictures to go with the stories.
From 1891 to 1896, the Earps lived in at least four different locations in San Francisco: 145 Ellis St., 720 McAllister St., 514A Seventh Ave. and 1004 Golden Gate Ave. (source Wikipedia)...what caught my eye was the 7th Ave address as I lived up the street (at 714 7th ave) from there and never knew that a famous lawman & his "wife" had live down the street so many many years before...no plaque or even a marker in the sidewalk...Thanks, Jeff & Sarah for reminding us of the history all around us!
FYI. Morgan Earps widow distanced her from The Earp family after the funeral in Colton. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, East L.A
Great job Jeff. I didn’t know the Earps had so many kids! I love any “cowboy” history.
Yes the family was large and it's hard to keep them straight. For example, a nephew is named Virgil too and is buried in Sacramento!
Only recently did I discover your channel and have been enjoying it very much. The history of the Earp family has been interesting as I did not know how extensive it was. The Earp wives (legally married or not) must have been strong women. I will be watching regularly now and looking forward to all you can teach me about the fascinating people of history.
Outstanding episode as always. I've noticed you seem to have a knack for arriving at these cemeteries at sprinkler time! Keep up the good work.
Guys what astonishing detail ….. thank you so much for your obvious and amazing work for us …. Love what you do . Jamie … Hampshire southern England uk 🇺🇸❤️🏴🌹
my family and I went to visit his grave a few years ago. when I exited the Freeway I wasn't sure which way to go so we flagged down a police officer who was parked on the side of a small street. When we told him the reason for our visit to his community, he offered to give us an escort to the cemetery. We thanked him for his kindness and appreciation for his service to the community. The respect for a fellow officer knows no time limit.very cool!
I found very educational, I didn’t know that some of Earps lived in Colton, California or some of them and are buried there. Really enjoyed your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
I knew so little about the Earps before seeing this video. Thank you for enlightening me. I also learned that geese don't like cauliflower. I agree that there need to be directional signs in this cemetery. People are missing out on a great educational opportunity. Thank you for making me aware of these gravesites. 🙂
WOW!!! Another FASCINATING episode of HH!!! Thank you so much for all your research & travels Jeff & Sarah!!! Did not realize the Earp's gathering in CA!!!
Awesome! We like presenting history a lot of folks didn’t know! We appreciate the view and the feedback!
Few, if any, do it better or with more background information.
This is one of the best videos. I’ve seen all the Wyatt Earp movies of the OK Corral.
I really look forward to these videos!
They are always so interesting. It was very interesting hearing about the siblings and mother of Wyatt Earrp
Glad you like them, Nichole! Thank you very much! We appreciate the nice compliment!
So good to see yours and Sarah's show! BEEN A WHILE! THANK-YOU.oh....where is Sarah?
Sarah was in the car on this one because cemeteries aren’t really her thing. Have you been missing every program that we’ve put out for the last every Sunday? I hear from a lot of folks that they don’t see my videos but they must not be subscribed or have hit the notification bill.
@jbenziggy this is the first program I have seen in probably over a year.
Thanks! Really enjoyed! Love that time of history. Always said I was born 100 years to late.
Much appreciated, Larry! Thanks so much for viewing!
Brilliant video old chap. I love the history of Elsworth, Wichita, Dodge and Tombstone. I have followed the history of Wyatt Earp and his brothers (not to mention Dr. John H. Holiday since my teens. I cannot get enough of these programmes. I followed your story on the location where Wyatt lived in his last years and the Funeral home where his remains were cremated. it was sad to see that that building is now in a state of total disrepair. Can I ask if you have done a story on the Clanton Ranch and the grave of Old Man Clanton? Keep up the excellent work Jeff & Sarah. Kind Regards
Thank you for your videos, Jeff. They are my Sunday morning-with-coffee habit before church! (And a couple other times a week although I've now watched ALL of your videos!) I LOVE learning of the history and get a kick out of seeing places both where I have already gone and now want to go! Wonderful work much appreciated!
It's amazing to know that in my hometown he is buried here. I try to come here every Friday to visit one of my best friends and she is buried not that far from him.
Hi ! Very interesting and informative story! Love the history of the Earp family ! Thanks for all your great vlogs! Take care ! Deborah Manitoba Canada
Our mountains didn't used to be arid. They used to be forested. The entire valley was wet with creeks and lakes. Before the time you talk about, the Mormons cleared the hills of trees, sending the lumber to Los Angeles. The loss of the trees decreased rain, and the sinking of wells took a lot of the ground water. I attended the 2013 ceremony dated on the flat stone. Several people, my sister included, wore period costumes to the event. As I recall, this site is a "most likely" site, as the absolute site is unknown. Jeff, when you went over what is called the Guthrie Interchange, I-10 and the 210, you crossed over Earp farmland. I have put flowers on the Earp graves at Mountain View Cemetery. I also taught my children how to shift our standard transmission car at that cemetery. We used to put flowers on the Earp graves when we did so. There are often flowers on those graves.
You do entertain while educating!
Thank you, Robert!
Very much enjoyed this history video on the Earps.
great info i never knew. This is why i watch History Hunters.
My family from Arizona visited the grave a few years ago . We were not sure where it was when we pulled off the freeway so stopped to ask a police officer. who's face lit up and escorted us across town to the cemetery. super cool experience.Sorry we did not remember the officers name but we are grateful for police service to all of our communities throughout our country!
Sunday morning, before I even get out of bed, I'm enjoying and learning new old stuff on History Hunters. Thanks, Jeff.
I think it is just great that a lot of people are learning history in a new way. Thank you Joyce for letting me know!
So happy you keep the Wild West alive ...thank you for this video...I've always had an interest in Wyatt Earp...even when I was a young man...Now I'm in my 70's.
Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos and the stories you share with all of us. I too love going to cemeteries and learning the history behind the people who are buried there!
Another great video full of interesting facts. I wonder if the people living on that property know what significance it holds?
It’s strange that these prominent people in the History of The Old West or Wild West as it was referred to have been forgotten by the towns which They lived and died. Thank You for sharing this History lesson with us! I just subscribed to your channel and was just fascinated by this story so much, that I had to comment! From Loveland, Colorado!
Thank you Nancy! By the way we passed through Loveland twice on our recent trip from Denver to South Dakota! Welcome to our channel!
Well done as always Jeff. Thanks
Thank you so much, Art!
Hello From Mark In Kentucky. Thanks for your awesome video regarding the Earp family. I have always been rather fascinated with the Earps & Doc Holliday.
I find this very interesting. I'm descended from Josiah Earp (Nicholas' brother) through his daughter, Drucilla Earp. She is my 5th great grandmother on my maternal grandfather's side.
we must be distantly related then...Nicholas Earp is my 3rd cousin (4x removed)
@@wbl5649 that's awesome!
Sorry, just now getting around to this episode and, as always-- extremely informative and a very pleasant viewing of an historical family.
Thanks! Now matter that you're late ... the important thing is that you watched and let us know!
I’ve lived within 15 miles of these graves the majority of my life and had no idea the Earp family lived and were buried here. Thanks for sharing
I lived in Grand Terrace for a bit. Wish I had known at the time, I'd have totally visited the grave site.
I thank you for the actual "Closure" your series provides with the Earp family and Mr. Doc Holiday. It's absolutely amazing, breath taking and almost like time travel. I have watched so much and heard so many things over the years, and these videos truly feed the soul with it. Thank you for what you do with history!!!
Wow, never knew this, I moved here in Colton 7 years ago. Love that Movie. Good stuff
Sadly, I have come to find out that many people under the age of 35 or so don't even know who Wyatt Earp was. Never heard of him. Sad.
I know "kids" in their 30s who don't even know who Ronald Reagan was! How sad is that?
Great episode! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much! We are happy to do these ... as long as we have viewers. I am finding that I have close to 75,000 subscribers but only a small percentage are watching which is kind of puzzling.
I grew up in los angles and drove through Colton many times….never knew about the Earps history.
Thank you for enlightening me.
So happy to hear that you learned something new from our video. I think history is fascinating!
Thanks again for another great Sunday morning history lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it, Mike!
David, you have asked numerous times and all I can say is we have no immediate plans to visit D.C. so I cannot do so at this time. Thanks for your interest. If we ever get back there we certainly can!
we went there to see the grave of my grandpa's sister and her husband. we walked around, looking for the grave and happened upon Morgan Earp's grave. that was a surprise. my great grandma's two brothers and one of her nephews got in a shootout with the Earps, in the Agua Mansa/San Salvador Township, CA area. they were the screwups in her family.
I always love it when I get a notification for a new history hunters video. Always great content and well made. Thanks Jeff and Sarah
Awww thanks Steve! We really enjoy producing these only because of how we know you and others enjoy them!
Another great story of one of the families that made so much American history, thanks Jeff & Sarah !
Been here many times. The cemetery office was rebought a few years ago. The previous owner has full papers printed @ the whole story of how the whole family was raised in Colton, the Earp brothers, how Morgan was murdered and brought back to Colton. There paper read, the old cemetery was on low land and kept getting flooded. Thanks for your information.
It's a shame the familys buried all over the place the house does look original just maybe a little different just looking at it i imagine no other houses close and all open feilds a great episode love Australia🐨🐨🐴👻💝🏠😄😍
I love that Tombstone movie, have a copy on DVD! I am fascinated with Wyatt Earp, thanks for the video!♥️
You’re welcome! I count Tombstone as my favorite western movie!
Another interesting look back into the wild wild west! I really appreciate all the research and thought that goes into all your videos, great job!
Another fascinating video Jeff, but then again, they all are. You do such a great job of taking us back to the times and places when history was made and the relevance they had on ours and this country's past. Thank you!
I havent seen a video of yours I didnt like . Amazing stuff you tell and show us . Thanx
Thanks Brian! That is nice to hear!
Great video! I learn so much about the Earp family! You see movies on TV and wonder how much truth they tell!
I just love watching your videos on Sundays. I'm a native Californian now living in another state. My great-grandfather was a lawman who rode with Pat Garrett. My relative also knew and sometimes went hunting with Jacob Walz, the Dutchman of the Lost Dutchman Mine fame. Allegedly, Jacob liked him because he never questioned him about his mine.
That was a great video and contained a lot of information. I love to see a family line chart of the Earp family. Thanks for the History!
Yeah, I have say that Colton house was NOT built in the 70s it definitely has Victorian influences from the mid 1800s in its architecture and design. What would make sense, I think ,is that the current owners may not want their property turned into a tourist attraction. I could understand that.
Sunday ? ✔ Coffee ✔ History Hunters !!! ✔✔ ✔ Favorite day of the week ! Thank you Jeff and Sarah for another awesome history lesson ! Never really knew about the Earp family. Just Wyatt. Fascinating !
Our pleasure, Suzanne! We can smell your coffee from here!
I retired here in az, I am 2 hrs from tombstone and never get tired of hearing the stories of the people who lived there.
So much more interesting than television. Love the banjo music❤
Once again, great research and a very interesting introduction to "the other Earps" Thank you.
Please keep up your valuable videos. I'm a big history lover and the stories you investigate are extremely interesting and not the typical stories! You do such a great job!..thank you
Again Wow!! I had heard... and maybe from you that Colton was where the Earp parents settled.... but had no idea how old the town was and their involvement in it.. from 2006 till 2013 I worked for a Bluebird Bus dealership that was based there in Colton and also had a dealership in Sacramento. As I driver I made many trips to Colton transferring buses from one location to the other and doing a lot of industry shows and final delivery to the customer all over California... but had no idea of the history there and of one of the most fascinating families in American history!! Thanks again Sarah and Jeff for an OUTSTANDING episode!👍👍
you have a great voice for narration. surprised to hear of earps mom receiving no recognition
Thank you very much Glen! We appreciate your nice compliment! Blessings!
Very cool video
🤠Thankyou Jeff & Sarah for making a sequel on the Earps from your Wyatt Earp Video. I've learn alot from you.
Wow 120 years earp grave 😮🌴💕🥰🌴👸
I love all history about the Earp's, I have watched all Earp Movie's to see which are closer to the truth. I've read books on them also. So many got the info wrong 💕🙏
Wyatt Earp lived in San Francisco from 1896 (@ 514A Seventh Avenue) until the time he moved to Los Angeles, CA. ALL the GRAVES that where buried in the city and county of San Francisco were moved to Colma, CA, although some bodies were left behind and we're found here and there as he City continued to develop. Wyatt Earps "original" 2 headstones we're stolen and 1 was later found. Nobody but a few people and I was later told where, know we're he is really buried. Because of the grave robbers attempts to loot his belongings which were buried with him.
i love the History of the Earp's and the old west 🤠
Always look forward to a very interesting historical video from you guys. Glad the swinging light is back on the channel.
Ahhh that sound of the train in the background I love it echos all the way to Riverside and Grand Terrace CA 🙂🙂
Another very informative video. There are several Earp family tombstones at the East Lawn Cemetery in Sacramento, not sure the exact relationship. Thank you
Yes that is correct and we plan to get up to Sacramento to talk about them.
Fascinating story. Thank you for taking us along. Looking forward to next Sunday's adventure...
Hi Jeff and Sarah..., Move to historic Uptown Butte, Montana. In late 1877, Morgan and Louisa moved to Miles City, Montana, where they bought a home. Shortly after Wyatt and Virgil headed for Tombstone, Arizona, Morgan, and Louisa sold their home in Montana and headed west. Morgan apparently didn't think the wild mining town of Tombstone was suitable for Louisa, who was a petite woman and suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. He took her instead to stay with his parents in Colton, California, in March 1880. Morgan set out to meet his older brothers in Tombstone on July 20, 1880. Louisa followed him in early December. In 1878, the July 25 Daily Pioneer reported that Morgan had joined prospectors pursuing gold in the Bear Paw mountains on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northern Montana Territory, "Mr. Morgan Earp arrived last evening from the Tongue River, which he left about three weeks ago." General John Gibbon had brought troops to the Teton River to keep prospectors from being "slaughtered by Indians." Morgan remained in Montana for an unknown amount of time. * On December 16, 1879, Morgan Earp was selected as a policeman in Butte, Montana (actually Butte-Silver Bow Deputy Sheriff). A story has circulated that Morgan and Billy Brooks competed for the job of a policeman. During a confrontation over the job, they got in a gunfight. Some accounts say Earp killed Brooks, and that Earp was wounded. But other accounts report that Brooks later died at the hands of a lynch mob in historic Uptown Butte, Montana, but no contemporary documentation of the shootout has been found. Morgan Earp served for only three months, until March 10, 1880. In a July 19, 1880, letter, Louisa wrote, "My husband starts for Arizona in the morning." In December 1881, Wyatt Earp was appointed by U.S. Marshal Crawley Dake as deputy U.S. Marshal after Virgil Earp was wounded. Wyatt Earp appointed his brother Morgan Earp as a deputy. * I enjoyed your excellent video and was very informative, and thank you for sharing the video. * I hope that you enjoyed a little more information on Morgan Earp and his wife Louisa in Montana. " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)
History Hunter I know there’s confederate graves on the Indian mound ranch in Liberty Hill Texas. Have you done any study of that? I have now deceased friends buried in that cemetery and she Pat Jones used tell me there were confederate soldiers in their family cemetery. Silly me, I never asked her who they were or how they came to be buried there? Her daughter Terri and daughter Susie still live on thst ranch and have Saturday farm markets on it. It’s a really cool place.
I have family in San Bernardino. It would be interesting to see the Earp history first hand. But I have zero desire to step foot back in California.
Oh we are not that bad, in fact, a lot of us are a lot like the rest of the country. We too have a Bible belt which is never reported about!
Jeff you have a very likeable tone in your voice. I’m so glad I found your channel and am enjoying an epic adventure through your past videos.
Thank you very much for the nice compliments, Tom. We are so glad you found our channel and we hope that she will tell your friends about us. You have a lot of videos to watch since we started producing them five years ago.
I just got done watching Tombstone and then immediately this video appears. Uncanny, great timing Jeff and Sarah. I'm your huckleberry.
I think it’s an awesome movie all the way through. It’s a rare thing for a movie to captivate me like that one has.
Loved the video. Im an Earp history fan
Wonderful to hear! I hope you learned something new!
@@jbenziggy Yes I did. Thank you for the video. I will watch it again.
I am Wyatt's cousin (3x removed.) My great grandmother is Sara Jane Earp (1st cousin.) She married Dallas Hatfield (Civil War vet.) My father was born in Lamar, MO (Wyatt's first law enforcement position.) I attended Mpnmouth College in Monmouth, IL (Wyatt's birthplace. ) His home is within walking distance of campus, and there is an Earp cemetery across the street. God Bless for your informative video.
Wyatt earp is my farther
@@cencaltrucks7887and you are my brother! Love live us Earps 😂
Search CZcams for "Morgan Earp tintype" and tell me if you think it's him. It sure looks like an Earp brother to me.
I grew up in Lamar. Walter Marvin Earp (Sara Earp Hatfield’s brother) is my great grandfather. What is your father’s name?
Love this channel...feeds my curiosity of the past.
Great video Sara and Jeff !!! Enjoyed!!
Very important to recognize the role played by these people in American history.
Wyatt isn't buried in "Colton" Ca., he's buried in Colma California. I know, because I use to live in the small town at the edge of San Francisco.
Born and raised in San Bernardino area...Rialto...went swimming at the colton plunge...never knew the history in my own back yard...thanks for the history lesson!
