_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Everybody always imagines themselves the hero/heroine rather than the poor sod who fell off their horse, hit their head on a rock and died because they were drunk and forgot to duck for the barn door they stupidly built too low because when the built the door they were also intoxicated and forgot to factor in that they were unusually tall and thus the "standard" height was inadequate.

[@sevinstorey4365]

Also, alcohol wasn’t as readily available in those times.

Mexico was giving free land and no taxes for 10 years to get settlers from America and elsewhere to come to the south west and settle the land . For people who had little to nothing it was a chance to carve out a life though I am sure many had no idea about hostile Indians at first . Camanche's were nomadic and followed the Buffalo herds for their existence so there would be periods with no attacks or Indian sightings lulling the settlers into a false sense of security and then out of the blue attacks on towns and settlers would start up again . Mexico had been paying the Camanche's not to attack Mexican settlements and towns.

There's a book I read a few years back called "That Dark and Bloody River" by Allen Eckert, which chronicles white westward expansion starting in the late 1700s from Wheeling West Virginia into the Ohio River Valley, and the conflicts between the whites and indians that took place as a result over the many decades since. There were both good whites and bad whites, and good indians and bad indians described in the book. Incidents of brutality committed by both peoples are chronicled in the book. What I liked about that book, is whatever incident that took place described in the book, the exact day of the week, and the hour it took place is mentioned. There were also footnote numbers printed for each incident, that you can match to a number in the index in the back of the book that would direct you to that exact place and spot where the incident took place in today's modern times. Your videos are very interesting, and thanks for remembering these forgotten lives.

My husband's great grandparents were pioneer cattle ranchers in Arizona in the late 1860s. Great grandfather had to go on a cattle drive to get the cattle to market. He left instructions with great grandmother with orders to not allow the Indians access to the water tank, as they were in the middle of a deadly drought. She looked her window and saw some Natives watering their horses at the cattle tank. Great grandmother offered them a couple of head of cattle to leave the water alone, but they refused. She was alone with 11 children in the house but she knew she had to stop the natives from using their water. It was simply a matter of survival. Tiny as she was, 4'10", she picked up a fence post and smashed it into the head of a Native's horse, killing it instantly. The Indians thought she was crazy and left, never coming back again. As cruel as it was, water was so precious that wars were actually fought over it.

It was not peaceful for the tribes that were sent west to Indian Territory.

The killing, torturing and scalping was primarily done by Natives. Are you saying all the violence was white people dressed up, seriously? Several tribes were wiped out by other Natives long before a European set foot on the continent.

...tough is not the same as cruel...none...

My husband has an ancestor who killed 2 Indians with an axe when their cabin was attacked. The Indians targeted and murdered some of the children and her”mother bear” came out. There was a newspaper article complete with an illustration captioned “Mrs Bozarth kills the Indian”. Their family is proud of this tough forbearer.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

you have a great family legacy.

Thank the Lord that many of my ancestors helped to eradicate the Comanche from Texas. A memorial to my great, great, grandfather was erected by the State of Texas in my hometown. He was a notable Indian fighter and Texas Ranger.

Morning Ron and everyone from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺

If you are interested in the History of Texas there is a book written in 1890 by JW Wilbarger titled" Indian Depredations in Texas " that describes what was going on back then and describes attacks on settlers between 1830 - 1873 from survivors first hand accounts as well as Texas Ranger and US troop accounts . Because it was written long ago there are many derogatory comments considered "Racist " today so if this will upset you don't read it . Another more recent book titled "Clan of the Summer moon " (authors name escapes me ) details a lot of the same attacks but instead goes into more graphic details of the tortures and injuries endured by the settlers until their death or in rare cases rescue . There were atrocities committed by both sides and things were done out of revenge and or sheer meanness .

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

already read it, ty. I have done other stories from his book, including his relative who was scalped alive and survived, - went to his grave in Austin 2 years ago.

Poor souls, if I were the settlers, I would have kept put in my town, not travelled to native places.😮

[@gaylewis5837]

So sad! I wonder why they let her husband and children go?

[@heidemarieemmert2195]

Loved the premier. It help me forget the horrible Thursday night. Death came knocking on my door, but I beat it. Just listening to you is so relaxing. You have a special way of speaking that really grabs my attention. You have a special gift. Thank yiu

[@kenrhoades2602]

Thank you Ron.

[@Skullswithdronesinside]

Oh the cemeteries I could show you around DfW. Bonnie and Clyde (two separate cemeteries) some in the middle of the woods, a segregated cemetery, some with headstones that say, “hanged from this tree and buried here. Horse thief. Name unknown.” Which is creepy cool. I’d love to hear more stories from this area.

[@HeatherT-y7i]

Thank you, such a sad story. God bless.

[@HeatherT-y7i]

Thank you. I was wondering if you ever heard of the Trompp family who served in WW11. They had migrated to America from Germany and fought for America in WW11. If you could fined out anything more about them. A head stone big head stone with the name of Trompp on it. My married name is Trompp. Thanking you.

[@Jayzilla-jr4fr]

They weren't called savages for nothing.

[@funkmonster]

Each band was different. The problem white peoples had was they couldn’t tell the difference. One Indian was the same as others, so they would slaughter a peaceful group of Indians to try to get the bad group of Indians. It would be like someone killing a family Smith in Kansas because they had the same name as the Smith family in Louisiana. Stupidity.

[@funkmonster]

And what was Minister John Chivington when he killed 300 Indian women and children at Sand Creek? Was he an angel?

[@lostnaustin7390]

I have been to that cemetery. You were only a couple of miles away from Annetta Cemetery which has some really interesting tombstones

[@gregw8976]

Makes me really appreciate the extreme hardships and adversity that our pioneer ancestors went through. While I acknowledge that wrongs were done on all sides. mainstream media seldom, if ever speak about Indian violence towards the pioneers. I appreciate your balanced approach, and look forward to listening to more episodes.

[@dougg1075]

You should see the one we found deep in the woods. Also an old one just down the street from our farm. Love old cemeteries. Alabama

[@KenDignam]

Nice touch putting the flower there 🙏

Tribal wars are genocidal. In Minnesota in 1862 we had a war with the Sioux. My great grandfather fought them in areas around New Ulm Minnesota. He was in the Tenth Minnesota Regiment. He fought under US Grant, and eventually was wounded in the battle of Mobile Bay, the last battle of the war.

[@Islandgirl-p7h]

Aloha Ron!! Watching from Maui Hawaii. I love your videos so very much 😊

[@Wootangtw]

Sad story… it had to be a very hard life back in the Pioneer Day’s…. Thanks buddy…

[@Jkk55]

Wow what a gruesome end for poor Martha thank you for the story Ron 👏👏👏👏

[@uthyrgreywick5702]

Thanks for the story, to me history never gets old. After a lifetime of study, I have concluded that Homo sapiens are savages, even today. As I understand it the Comanches before the horse were preyed upon by stronger tribes. After the horse the Comanches took their revenge on those tribes. Then came members of the Celtic and Germanic tribes who were just as brutal as they were. There are countless examples from every continent except Antarctica of savagery. Boudica's rebellion, the Teutoburg forest, WW II the firebombing of whole cities with the sole purpose of killing noncombatant citizens indiscriminately. Eighty years ago, the Generals were called "war heroes" now we know them as war criminals. The worst thing is that if law and order were to truly dissolve, we, civilized Americans, would revert so fast it would make our heads spin.
