[@danhutson3460]

Jeff, thank you for another history lesson! Too many people have forgotten the early days of America & you have refreshed our memories! Keep up the good work!

[@kenuber4014]

Thanks Jeff. You take us to places, that most of us will never see. Thanks for the history lesson!

[@jbenziggy]

My pleasure!! So happy to have you in our growing audience!

[@edwardaustin740]

Another fine job. Thanks, Jeff for letting me hang out with you for awhile.

[@jbenziggy]

You bet

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Well said Jeff as allways. I often think about thouse people back in the day. They certainly lived a hard life compared to today they were not lazy. Have a great day.

[@danpatch4751]

Very interesting cemetery, full of notable people and historic importance. A place i would like to visit. Thanks for sharing this with us👍.

[@martindriver6026]

WOW!! So much in this episode. Thank you for bringing out the veterans, the one that truly breaks my heart is the civil war veterans. I can't even imagine going to war with fellow country men. Yes chiggers are no joke they will leave measles type Dots on you legs for weeks. I ran into them before. Thanks for ANOTHER GREAT EPISODE OF HISTORY HUNTERS.

[@christopherconwell7271]

Jeff and Sarah. I just moved to Charleston SC from Indianafor my job and I am amazed at how much History is in this area. I always knew about the Civil War history and Fort Sumpter. But there us just loads more ! Everyday I find more and more history I have never even heard of. Love all the episodes about Kansas City so far and Thank u for keeping the channel going along. I always look forward to Sunday morning.

[@irishgip71]

Amazing story. Stories like this convinced me to enlist in military and I never regret it. I also envy you for being able to visit all these historic places. Slainte sir!

[@AB-ye7bw]

Another very fine episode! Thank you.

[@rhondaz356]

What an eclectic, diverse story each of those people, you highlighted, had... a few of them quite tragic. As you were walking around, I was thinking that all of these "unknown" people had their own stories, most likely, all forgotten over time.🪦❤️‍🩹... This was really very interesting, Jeff. 👏🌿 Those buildings are about as close as I've ever seen to a cemetery, without a barrier, of some sort.

[@jimbullard441]

So many interesting stories from those buried in graveyards.

[@jerryfountain7921]

I'm traveling to Oregon and saw a Veteran's Cemetery on I-5 as I drove by. Thank you for looking into all these past heros of old wars.

Jeff, beautiful music. Love the history. Thank you. 💜🤗🫶😎🐬🇺🇸

[@dano8203]

Quantril also had his raiders which included Frank & Jesse James. I had an opportunity a couple of years ago to see a couple of civil war cemeteries on the road between Statesboro and Savanna Ga. History you just can’t see or stand on in California. Another great piece of history Jeff!

[@frankmarullo228]

This is another good video Jeff, Thank you with all your knowledge you should stop off in MONTANA to check out some of our ghost towns and cemeterys THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for coming!!!

[@WayneKline]

Another very well produced video Jeff. Amazing history. People really did it tough back then. Although, we must not forget the current very sad and distressing of people in Hawaii today! Keep up the great work.

[@jbenziggy]

Well said! I cannot forget what happened in Hawaii notably because my brother lives on the island of Maui. He is so depressed from what has happened and what will be happening to the economy of that great island. Very sad state of affairs that I don’t think anyone saw coming.

[@nhdenver7883]

Really enjoyed this episode Jeff! Thank you!

[@jbenziggy]

Wonderful! For some reason there are fewer folks watching which has me stymied!

[@nhdenver7883]

Interesting. Do you think its because the latest vids haven't been CA/Western US focused? Perhaps back to school and wrapping up family vacations has played a role in that over the past few weeks. Not sure on the timing of when you started to see the dip in viewership though.?.?

Another great video! I have relatives in KC and Independence. AND there’s a memorial cemetery somewhere in Mo. where half the people buried there are related to me. One relative of mine was an Outlaw who rode with the Jesse James gang. And another relative who fought with George Washington

I know of a cemetery in IL that i don't think anybody knows about. Buried deep in the woods not far off a beaten path. Lots of weird symbols, ancient headstones, and trees as big as a VW growing out of them. Really spooky. Even ran across an old lady (?) i say that lightly and she told me to leave that her kind don't like people like me around. All i was doing was checking it out. She was spooky too. Never went back. Nope, never did!

New subscriber! I happened across your video and really enjoyed it! I too enjoy the history of those buried in cemeteries. There are a lot of small cemeteries in and around the KC area (Kansas and Missouri) with a great deal of history because Independence and Westport are where most stopped for resupplying before heading out on the trails west.

Good afternoon Brother, awesome video journey once again. The bugs in MoKan.....they bite, bite again, & bite really hard if you smack them. The best thing to do is carry alcohol pads & as soon as you feel the bite, smother the little suckers out w/ the pad. Once again, enjoyed the video tremendously, keep up the excellent work.
