Old West Vignette: Charleston, AZ Cemetery - Gone & Forgotten

[@TeamRetroWorld]

I speak on behalf of the few, But I truly enjoy these 'Vignettes'. Thank you.

[@InrangeTv]

+TeamRetroWorld Thank you! ~Karl

Time waits for no man. It's sad how someone could be so loved at one point in history and completely forgotten a few decades later. Really tells you to live your life how you want to because when you're gone there may not be anyone around to tell your story.

[@soylentgreen7074]

Btw I really like this vids. Amazing how a huge part of the western United States is still untouched and left somewhat intact from our not so long ago early history.

[@5roundsrapid263]

I've been hunting down old abandoned cemeteries like this in my area. It's amazing the amount of history that is contained in them.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

So cool you found the cemetery and the Slaughter connection.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Those thorns gave me a new appreciation for how much time, effort, and BLOOD goes into making some of your videos! I have enjoyed everything from your channel, especially your occasional narrated walk abouts. While pictures in a book give one an idea of a place, nothing beats walking through it yourself. I guess watching someone else on KZbin might be better if there are thorns! Enjoyed as always! Happy New Year to everyone who watches InRange! Many thanks to Ian and Karl for their continued hard and dedicated work. You guys are appreciated!

[@InrangeTv]

+Paul Simmons Thank you! I figured adding in the terrain and getting there provided context for how forgotten this cemetery really is. A happy new year to you as well! ~Karl

[@iainwalker8701]

Love the commentary of you wandering about in places like this, nothing like it can be found in the UK. I know the people who enjoy the vignettes are in a minority, but I'm another that loves watching them. Thanks for your efforts Karl

[@stevbarto]

The vignettes are great, a look at where we came from and at the same time where we will all end up.

[@chiefof]

Thank you, Ian and Karl, for the hard work that goes into these vignettes. Sobering to think of the hopes and dreams of the people who lived and died in these remote places in the West. All gone now and mostly forgotten.

[@Aircurve]

I am several years late to this particular party but now I’ve stumbled upon them I am really enjoying these vignettes. Good work Karl !!

[@deadahead8701]

I found a cemetery while hunting deep in the woods of WV it was amazing but also sad that all these people were forgotten. the dates I could make out where from the late 1800’s

[@Yellowjacket307]

Love the old west gun and historical event videos you guys do. We all appreciate your hard work to bring us content like this. 👊🏻🔥

[@ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

Lived in Arizona all my life and I never knew about Charleston. Thanks for this.

[@arleatham]

I have to go out into nature a lot for work and have never been much interested in it or scenery, and I generally detest hiking for the sake of a view, but I do love history, and I wish I had more time to research places like this and go and find them. Thank you Karl! You're doing a great job at documenting the Old West and these videos are awesome.

[@pakman422]

Love the Old West Vignettes! Please keep em coming!

[@dawnpatrol1943]

i don't live in a desert but i feel your pain man here in the east we have briars that can be just one or two plants or sometimes as fields real nasty when your tracking a deer and end up in one. Keep up the good work!!!

[@teufeldritch]

I know you guys are busy and all but it would be awesome if you could do more of these. I really enjoy the history lessons of the Old Southwest.

[@charlespowers850]

at one time the San Pedro river was large enough to have Riverboats. There was an earthquake in Mexico that diverted the majority of the river underground

[@CCGR-2024]

Thank You for taking the time to make videos like this, they are both informative and entertaining.

[@KAptKubel]

I love the Old West Vignettes. This reminds me of a small relatively forgotten cemetery at the entrance of a subdivision I lived in. Most of the graves are unmarked, and a few more were found when they expanded the road in front of it. Sad to see it has barely had any upkeep considering it's not really "old".

[@bigfutus]

I just realised how much i like your content, so from start of the year i will double my pledge. Thank you for your effort!

[@InrangeTv]

+bigfutus wow, thank you very much! ~Karl

[@Bob1942ful]

I have done some hiking out in Arizona and was always amazed at the bits you can find out there. I was Sky Diving out in Arizona when a friend of mine told me about a cross out in the middle of no where south of Phoenix that is dedicated to a WW2 Airman that crashed there. It is an interesting find with some interesting history.

[@jeffreyreardon7487]

Karl, thanks for your hard work and dedication. happy New year, cheers

[@matthewcampling488]

Really cool video...as a viewer from the UK..I find this stuff fascinating! Thanks for your efforts 👍

[@fdsdh1]

it's crazy how much can come and go in such a short time

[@JeromeAz57]

Just found you on KZbin. I've been there once before trying to find the graveyard. No luck though. I think I had one more hill to go over to get to it but it was getting late and I was wore out from the hike and the thorny bushes trying to tear me up. I think after seeing your video I should be able to find it next time. At least I got lots of pictures of what's left of the buildings in Charleston and Millville across the river. I'll be heading out there again this summer. Thanks!

[@MrSmith336]

Enjoyed it again, and the first time on Full 30. Thanks Karl

[@J4ckD3ath]

Exactly how I felt! Thanks again Karl... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@SeraphinaPZ]

I've learned living most of my life near the Delaware that rivers can change unbelievably. The San Pedro must have been deceptive to settlers if they found it when it was low, only to realize that it could explode from the size of a creek to a full sized river.

[@rickeyryan303]

not really you just need to know how to read the banks..

[@billstevens5277]

That river used to carry much more water. Supposedly they ran a paddlewheel up and down it. There was an earthquake in the late 1880's that supposedly diverted much of the flow underground. It's also one of the few rivers that flow north it's entire distance.

[@barryallenporter8127]

I’m disappointed yet impressed somebody found the site, stole the stone, and took it out of there in one piece.

[@skrymerU]

It is fascinating and a bit scary how basically all trace of you ever expected just can disappear in a relatively short time. Im also fascinated by the geology, those hills in the background, I don't know how large they are, but it just looks like someone took a truck of dirt and just dumped it into a large pile.

[@InrangeTv]

+Skrymer U Old hills; ages of erosion to look like that. ~Karl

[@skrymerU]

I understand how it works, I didn't actually believe someone was driving around and building mountains for no apparent reason 😁 Just thought they looked interesting. Same thing with these pillar of harder rock that now stands alone by themselves because all the softer rock has been washed away.

[@shonny61]

Thanks for sharing this. Great video.

[@justgriff1295]

Really cool, thanks for documenting for us.

[@DRay-or4tc]

Excellent vid. Much appreciated.

[@USAF-mt1tu]

I get goosebumps every time I go near a cemtary

[@MrRoboskippy]

Great video, thanks for posting. Since it's beyond impossible to find, you might consider posting the gps coordinates.

[@Youcannotfalter]

This was excellent. Thanks for sharing

[@davidaitchison1455]

One of the things I will just never understand and that is people who desecrate graves. Just shameful and totally disrespectful.

[@Rupan-rx]

It's cool to see some history and graves from that period. Thorn bushes around here don't look half as dangerous.

[@nelsonnoname001]

Very sad, wish there was some kind of state funded program for the upkeep of these old cemetery grounds (much like the state parks) - This is terrible, but you should see some of the cemeteries in Mississippi, especially in the delta, the rivers and swamps do all kinds of havoc

[@5roundsrapid263]

Robert NoName I grew up in MS. It's amazing how much is being abandoned there now.

[@Jesses001]

Well that looks like it was some effort to get too. Forgotten indeed. I doubt many people could even find it.

[@versoarmamentcompany]

Great video

[@AGS363]

The Old West Vignettes are my favourite content on inRangeTV. Just to let you know...

[@InrangeTv]

+AGS363 Thank you!

[@scruggs6633]

ANOTHER VIGNETTE! YES! It must be Christmas lol

[@TechNWRO]

Thanks!

[@jak1259]

there's a cemetery in Phoenix that has been here for years and I don't know who to contact to get access but it has Graves from late 1800's early 1900's it's known as cross cut cemetery

[@ZogThePrimitive]

As much as I love exploring in Arizona, I hate those thorns. There's no good way to go through them. Gullies and game trails are always good when available.

[@Tornado1861]

Thanks for the effort you put into these Old West videos. Do you do any CAS shooting?

[@InrangeTv]

+Tornado1861 I did extensively for a few years, but not in quite awhile. ~Karl

[@wildamerica9150]

Can you post GPS coordinates. Live in AZ, and would love to respectfully check this area out.

[@mikelafreniere742]

you should visit Montana some time a lot still remains in my home state from around the same time.

[@jg-ub4ek]

Neat!

[@Kowalski089]

Beyond abandoned; the ghosts of the past.

[@papajon6715]

Karl, are the bodies (remains) still there?

[@InrangeTv]

Yes, Most of them at least.

[@papajon6715]

@@InrangeTv I always thought the best way to get to the cemetery was to walk up to the gulch and there you are...

[@jeffreyfwagner]

Can you get your hands on a drone of some sort so that you can observe a larger area than you can cover on foot?

[@billshepherd4331]

You still go exploring like this?

[@brandon3883]

My wife and I used to go on vacation to Arizona quite often and - not knowing its real name - called that godforsaken brush "murderweed."

[@keithplymale2374]

I'm a Howell from Virginia on my mothers side. Wonder if were related in some way.

[@USAF-mt1tu]

How can one walk among the dead and speak about them without the feelings of dread.

[@canejax3093]

Suprised there isn't more visual evidence of grave robbers

[@mcqueenfanman]

He wouldn't be related to Thurston Howell the 3rd in anyway?

[@InrangeTv]

Same guy, oddly, just a different time line. ~Karl

[@mikestevens8012]

the grave ,. it could be set right , does the county Police still have the original stone ? they like you might have had trouble locating where it goes ...stone is heavy , but durable, it won't move far on its own , and my guess is 50 yards , one guy not too motivated , is back door to the lot line fence and I'd bury it...unless someone else was digging a hole , raised bed garden , trees for a wind break ,ect. also you got the photo , remake in styrofoam armor with epoxy and fiber glass , reset at grave site...good works. , c yaz !

[@regaeontop6021]

Thanks!
