Kilmer as Doc Holliday is the definitive "How did this guy not even get nominated for an Oscar?!" performance IMO

[@L_87]

They just didn’t like Val😂 so many Val haters

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Thing is that we, the audience, know how damn good Kilmer is as Doc, and Oscars are just industry tokens. The Academy got it wrong too many times because the studios control it.

[@jeffreyriley8742]

He and Robert Shaw for Jaws. Highway robbery.

[@jeffrichards1537]

When the guy tells Doc he has plenty of friends and Doc says well i dont. Kind chokes me up. Thats a friend that will do anything.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Yes!

[@bigsarge8795]

Same here - I've seen this movie at least 30 times, and it still gets me.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

"Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave." Most Badass line ever! 😊

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Yes!!

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Val as Doc is legendary

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

YES!

[@tim196868]

The famous actor, John Wayne was actually friends with Wyatt Earp. In the character. True grit. He modeled that character after Wyatt Earp.

[@bugvswindshield]

17:00 this is when Doc gets into Ringo's head. Ringo does an elaborate pistol dance, he's obviously practiced. Then Doc does the EXACT same thing but with a cup. You can see it in Ringo's eyes. It sets the tone from here on out between the two men. That my friends, is called brilliant acting and directing.

[@TennTwo92]

It also showed Doc how fast Ringo was so he knew he was faster which is why he taunts him so much throughout the movie

[@jamesrippy1161]

“I’m your huckleberry”. Legendary performance from Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Yes! Absolutely 💯

[@jameseyman9078]

So apparently he is actually saying I'm your hucklebearer. A huckle is the handles that are attached to a casket that are used to carry it to the gravesite. The people carrying the casket were referred to as hucklebearers. So Doc is pretty much saying that he will take him to his grave. This is of course assuming the explanation I heard is actually accurate.

[@FrenchieQc]

@@jameseyman9078 No. No, no, no, no. Please stop repeating this. It's 100% inaccurate. This is some online myth that has been spread by some no-name website after the movie first came out. There is zero historical references to huckles being an actual term, anywhere, ever. Doc Holliday says Huckleberry, which means, "I'm the guy for the job." He says it twice in the movie, which was confirmed by Kilmer himself. The script says huckleberry. The subtitles on the original dvd releases say huckleberry. Val Kilmer even titled his memoirs "I'm your Huckleberry." It only SOUNDS like hucklebearer because throughout the movie, he slurs his speech with a southern drawl. If you ever hear anyone else say hucklebearer, backhand them, and then educate them with the above.

[@Charles-yt5ve]

LOL! Tell him what you REALLY think. The sun hasn't even risen and I'm already laughing.

[@chad_stew]

I'm one of those people who says "I'm your huckleberry" whenever it fits in a conversation. Seems like less and less people get it as time goes by.

[@johnbedinghaus2390]

I don't think Kate had bad intentions toward Doc. I think she understood who Doc was and wasn't about to assist in turning him into an invalid. She knew Doc was about living life to its fullest and wanted to "die with his boots on". Which is also why Doc said what he did during his final moments.

[@MoroVanator]

Doc was not crazy. He was dead, so he chose to live life on his terms. Doc had his own code, no excuses, no exceptions.

[@kimtalley4496]

"Now I have two guns one for each of ya" my favorite line of the movie. Val Kilmer did a fantastic job.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

YES! 🔥

[@joepinkley3109]

To show how good an actor he is, when you watch that scene, notice that he spins the pistols in different directions. One forward and one backward.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

How did Val Kilmer not win an Oscar for this?

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

@@dianeritthaler7792 Right??

[@theghostofbabanovac7069]

because Oscars have been always rigged for the most part ?

[@laurelg9586]

because the movie came out too late in the season for it to be considered for the Oscars...Kurt Russell also had an Oscar performance...Kurt Russell is excellent in everything he does!

[@davidnicholas7516]

There are stories that back in the day he wasn't the easiest actor to get along with on set, and you have to remember that the Oscars are essentially a popularity contest among peers. The studio's campaign lobbied for him to get a best supporting nod...I think he deserved best actor myself, but as I said it's a popularity contest.

[@goatvoicestwin1859]

Val definitely got hosed for the Oscar that year...this is definitely one of my all time favorites. Thx for this!

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Its definitely up there on our list now also!

[@bigsarge8795]

If you notice really quickly , when Doc says he has two guns, he spins his guns in opposite directions

[@JohnnyMan316]

It was a nice touch they had Robert Mitchum narrate the movie in the beginning and the end.

[@OcotilloTom]

I had an ancestor that killed the last Earp in Arizona in a gunfight on July 6th., 1900 in Wilcox, Arizona. Warren Earp was the youngest brother of Wyatt, Virgil et. all. Warren did not take part in the famous gunfight in Tombstone but did take part in the Vendetta Ride afterwards. Warren was a bully and a braggart that lived off the name of his famous brothers. He was also a drunk. After Warren was killed by my Ancestor Johnny Boyette Virgil came to Willcox to investigate. He found what the Earp family had long expected. That Warren would one day meet with someone who would not be bullied or "cowed" by his bad behavior. El Mirage, Arizona

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

@@OcotilloTom that's crazy, thanks for sharing!

[@davidpoole5595]

What scares Ringo when he first meets Doc is Doc mimics his pistol twirling with a cup move for move having only seen it once...Doc does a mirror rendition of the twirling Ringo just did

[@ianjardine7324]

The scene in the creek where Wyat walked through a hail of gunfire actually happened. One of the cowboys who escaped but later died of his wounds told the story before he died. There are many who question the legend and the legality of Wyats actions. But all agree he and Doc were absolute badasses.

[@FrenchieQc]

Throughout all the shootings he took part in, Earp was never, ever injured once. His coat, hat, saddle, stirrups were all shot to sh!t, but he himself never had a drop of his blood spilled from a bullet. It's almost a miracle.

[@garygoodman4342]

If you look when Kilmer twirls his guns when he says I've got 2 guns, he twirls each of them in opposite direction. An almost impossible thing to do for most people

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Oh crazy! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@darylabrams2]

Val Kilmer is ambidextrous. Amazingly enough, the real life doc holiday was as well.

[@jdgoade1306]

And still holding his cup too.

[@johnscott4196]

Guys the guy who played Henry Hooker, the rancher who took in a sick Doc Holliday, was played by the Legendary Charlton Heston. Hollywood Royalty who starred in probably a dozen blockbusters over the course of decades. I recommend checking out The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur. Epic movies on a grand scale.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

We will take a look at it, thanks!

[@mikefetterman6782]

Dodge City Kansas was the major hub for nearly ALL people heading west. Nearly every person west of the Mississippi knew who Wyatt Earp was. Dodge city being the most dangerous city in the country at the time, Earp and his confidence, ruled the town with an iron fist. His reputation was his greatest weapon.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The town of TOMBSTONE is still there, and they have preserved their "old town" where all this happened. IN FACT, the movie was mostly shot in that town. Set up for tourism now, you can buy little cowboy gift items and Mexican blankets, or have a beer in the Crystal Palace or the Oriental. 2-3 reenactments of OK corral battle daily add to the atmosphere. I was there in 1997.

[@mikefetterman6782]

All 3 of the Earp brothers had met their wives in brothels.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Doc Holiday had a famous saying" I shall die with my boots on!". At the end, he giggles because his "Hypocrisy knows no bounds", realizing his boots were off.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Sounds like an awesome place to check out!

So glad you appreciated the movie. My all-time favorite movie... Riding on the back of one of the greatest performances of all time of course. Doc Holliday FTW

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

It was so damn good! 👏

[@stevedegraaf7897]

Wyatt was not a shootist. He was a head breaker. The scene where he gets rid of the obnoxious Johnny Tyler was typical of how he kept law and order as a lawman.

[@kenle2]

He was also able to keep his cool even with bullets flying and AIM. Which put him ahead of 95 percent of the so-called "shootists".

[@RatelRegalement]

Doc didn't steal the deputy badge - he asked Wyatt what it was "like to wear one of those", and Wyatt gave him the badge. Which from a certain point of view officially deputised him, and did indeed make it legal. An absolute legendary reveal, callback and scene :D

[@jeremybr2020]

From a certain point of view? Yeah, an incorrect one. Obviously it takes much more than the handing over of a badge to officially deputize a person. I would certainly think that for one to be deputized, the person doing the deputizing would have to be aware of the fact that they are doing so. But the rest of what you said, was spot on.

[@stonecoldku4161]

This is not a word for word translation of the Latin between Ringo and Doc but it's roughly what they meant: Wyatt: He's drunk. Doc (Latin): There's truth in wine. Or roughly "When I'm drunk, I'm honest." Ringo (Latin): Do what you do best. Doc (Latin): I don't think drinking is what I do best. Ringo (Latin): (Touches his gun) Some need to learn from experience. Doc (Latin): Rest in peace. Or roughly "It's your funeral."

[@tvdroid22]

Watching the making of this movie, they emphasized their efforts at authenticity. As much as that was a theme, I saw a documentary on these events recently, and it's amazing how much more there is to the story, and how things were a bit different in the Hollywood version. It doesn't change the fact that this is one of my favorite movies, but MAN is there a lot more to this story. Val Kilmer was cheated. Not only was the "two guns, one for each of you" iconic, but if you notice, he spun one gun forward, the other one backwards, further showing, he was still fully able to handle them.

[@BigJohnLXV]

he also had a cup in one hand, while doing it

[@mikefetterman6782]

Doc's woman, Kate, bought one of the saloons (Big nosed Kate's) in Tombstone and ran it until her passing.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Wow!

[@BenRollinsActor]

One of my favorite parts of this movie is the narration by the late, great, Robert Mitchum - just a few years before his death.

[@bigsarge8795]

Legend says when Sam Elliott was born - he was already 45 years old and had a mustache

[@duanelavely5481]

As depicted in the movie, the gun fight at the O.K. Corral took place in a small vacant lot behind the O.K. Corral & next to a photography store. "Doc" Holiday had a shotgun. The 2 sides were in a stand off until "Doc" cocked both hammers on his shotgun. That caused the "Cowboys" to draw down.

[@adampare8088]

​@@JrocksAndDevinityYes and they found Ringo with 1 bullet missing from gun. So maybe suicide, movie version was better. He got off 1 lame shot to ground as he died.

[@eolsunder]

Ringo shot himself, he was drunk, had lost his horse and boots, and the authorities examining the body and scene determined he has shot himself in the head and died by suicide. 1 empty round still in his pistol. He had mental problems and had talked about suicide before. So yes, it has been determined who shot him, he did it to himself.

[@thewalruswasjason101]

[@kevinmarshall854]

When they confronted "Curly Bill" after he shot the sheriff and Doc comes out and says that he has 2 guns for each of people that he saw. He m.j might have been drunk but he took out his pistols and spun them in different directions at the same time to show that he wasn't that drunk and he was still someone that they needed to be worried about. Most people miss that in the scene. Doc Holliday was a scary fast gun and he knew that he was dying and he just didn't care anymore about not taking chances.

[@VirgilBowen-h1y]

A huckle bearer is a person who carries the handle, or "huckle", of a casket. The term was commonly used in the funeral industry and is now slang for pallbearer. Huckleberry or Huckle Bearer? Doc Holliday in ... "I'll be your huckle bearer" is a phrase that Doc Holliday is said to have said in the 1993 movie Tombstone. The phrase is often misquoted as "I'm your huckleberry

You two should really checkout Open Range, with Kevin Costner, Annette Benning and Robert Duvall. I'm not a traditional "Western" fan, but Open Range, The Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman), Young Guns (Campy but awesome), and of course, Tombstone are all exceptional and loaded with talent. Great channel. Thank you both!

Silverado is an excellent Western also. It has Kevin Costenor, Kevin Kline, and Danny Glover plus some other surprises. The best is seeing John Cleese as a town sheriff.

[@ciphernine7824]

Laudanum was "old school" morphine. Opium powder mixed in high proof alcohol, and highly addictive.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Believe it or not, I (Jrocks) am quite aware. I am actually a pharmacist 👍

[@stonecoldku4161]

In real life Curly Bill shooting Fred White was ruled an accidental shooting. Fred White didn't die right away, and in fact was alive for a couple of hours after being shot, and some thought he might even survive. When he started to take a turn for the worse, he wrote or at least signed a statement that Curly Bill was trying to handover his gun when he accidentally fired it. Wyatt who had actually seen the shooting also testified in court that he too believed the shooting to be accidental.

[@maxwellalexander2962]

If you guys never seen Last of The Mohicans I think you'd enjoy it, reactors have been doing that one and it is a pretty stunning movie even to me as a kid that was always hardpressed to be impressed by music/storytelling/setpiecing/cinematographic art, especially with the setting and everything in the nature of the film.

Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

True!

[@redindenver6666]

I rarely watch a movie more than once. But I've probably seen "Tombstone" at least a dozen times (many via KZbin reaction videos). I was hoping you included EVERY clip from this movie that contains Val Kilmer's character (Doc Holiday). I don't care if you exclude every other clip. Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday character is, I believe, my very favorite character from ANY movie of the last half century. I love your reaction -- it was obvious you guys love Val's portrayal of Doc Holiday as much as I do. So it's just the best when you discover "online friends" who love a particular movie or character as much as you do. Your reaction was just a perfect fit for my love of Val's "Doc". And so I'll just have to subscribe to your channel! Oh -- and I agree with every other comment by your viewers here who claim that Val was robbed when he didn't win an academy award for his performance in this movie. I'm not all that much into Westerns, but there is another western movie I really love: 3:10 to Yuma starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. It also has some great character actors (like Ben Foster). If you haven't yet reviewed it, you definitely should give it a look.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Val Kilmer absolutely killed it as Doc Holiday, we couldn't imagine anyone else doing the part anywhere near close to as good. We would loved to have added all his scenes in the reaction, but copyright is a massive pain unfortunately. We were glad to be able to get most of the big Doc scenes at least. Oftentimes the classic one-liners get picked up heavily on copyright

[@raymonddevera2796]

Laudanum was full of opium, Maddy was addicted to it. When Doc Holliday looks down at his feet he always thought he'd die with his boots on. A lot of old movie cowboys were in this movie; Red West the stage coach drive (part of the Memphis Mafia, Elvis' body guards), Harry Carey Jr. Sheriff Fred, Robert Mitchum the narrator, Charlton Heston the rancher where they hold up. It was kinda criminal that Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

[@joseesparza7488]

Val Kilmer should’ve gotten the Oscar for that movie

[@crazytrain639]

Keep in mind as you enjoy this absolute classic, this is the most accurate telling of actual events. Doc was indeed nuts. He wanted death on his own terms and not to the lung. He was practically chasing death with every breath. Most of his quotes in the movie are from historical records. Kilmer's portrayal of his attitude towards his own well being is perfect. Kate simply understood Doc and supported him even though she knew it was killing him. Doc was sure he was gonna be killed wearing his boots in a fight, this is why he said "this is funny" while looking at his feet as he died. Wyatt really charged into the river like that as well, so tell Frank Castle that Wyatt is the original Punisher.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Awesome, we weren't aware of the actual historical accuracy. Thanks!

[@HonRevPTB]

WOW great reaction, love your response to this film!!! The real Doc Holliday had a genius level IQ & a photographic memory which absolutely aided in his card playing skills!!! Kevin Jarrer the amazing writer of this fil & Val Kilmer possibly the best actor of the last 40 years, knew that about him & used it! You'll notice during your favorite line Val actually twirls the guns in opposite directions after saying I have 2 guns 1 for each of you, that's because Doc was ambidextrous! Val is very much a method actor, so he learned how to twirl those guns in opposite directions!There was so much legitimate truths & coloquialisms that went into this film it was just gravid with period knowledge!!! When Doc asks Ike "Why whatever do you mean?" When Ike says nobody can win 12 hands in a row, it's because Doc wants Ike to accuse him of cheating because then legally Doc would have the right to take him outside & gun him down in a fight! Such an epic film!!! So glad you loved it!!! If you guys thought Val was amazing in this, you need to do a reaction to the Doors, the Oliver Stone film when he portrayed Jim Morrison!!! It's absolutely unbelievable & he did all the singing himself, he's OUTSTANDING !!! CHEERS GUYS! 👍😁😎

Opium was a real issue all over then. Not only in the Chinese communities which had opium dens people frequented, but in practically all patent over the counter pain medication.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

The director also directed Cobra with Sylvester Stallone. That’s the movie he envisioned for Beverly Hills Cop which he was originally supposed to star in but wanted to change it up to more of an action film and not so comedic. So he made Cobra. I knew right off the bat that Devinity’s favorite line was the two guns line. A pretty cool thriller with Kurt Russell is Breakdown. I don’t think I’ve seen any reactions to it, but should be. I find it amusing that when Billy Zane shows up and Sem Elliott asks, what kind of town is this. It’s because he knows he’s gay. That’s why the wjason Priestly character is enamored with him because he is also. Of course during those times, it would not be socially acceptable. There’s a silly western themed movie called Sodbusters which also touches on this subject and has one scene in particularly that’s absolutely hilarious and funny as crap. The movie itself is ok, but it’s pretty much worth watching for that scene. Everyone agrees that Val Kilmer was the standout character in this. Speaking of the opium dens, did you know that’s where the term being hip came from. Being on opium you couldn’t really function and would lay on your side, your hip and just have the pipe there to smoke it. So if someone asked if you were hip, they were asking if you smoked. Of course it went on to just mean getting high, hence hippies. A really good older school western you guys would like with John Wayne is The Cowboys. A little different than what you might think, but good.

The Doc Holliday role was made for Val. No one could do it better.

Part II 😁 Well seen many reactions on this movie and not one recognizes Charlton Heston. Darn! A tad too much dialogue edited out. Hell I've got plenty of friends! Doc, "I Don't"! Wyatt, "Revenge for what"? Doc,, "Being born"! Better reaction than some though! ☯️☮️

'This is gonna be a showdown, huh?' -- yes... at the O.K. Corral...

[@DewayneGore]

This movie, along with Slingblade and O' Brother Where Art Thou? are filled with quotable lines. You should check out those two movies as well.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

We will give them a look, thanks!

[@thehorrorfanx]

Fabulous reaction!

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Fabulous movie, thanks for the recommendation!

[@darrenrayjefferson5298]

One of my favorite movies

[@manueldeabreu1980]

The cast is insane, especially when you have a young Billy Zane and Billy Bob Thornton. Val Kilmer steals the movie. He tells a story how he based his accent on a guy who spoke like that. "I'm you huckle berry is actually a misquote.' He said something that sounded like that and Kilmer thought he said huckle berry and used it.

[@bentoombs]

Did you notice the number of the train? No.5150. 5150 means crazy, so crazy train.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Thats pretty cool!

[@mikefetterman6782]

Johnny Ringo actually died by his own hand months later.

[@Abbadonhades]

It's so easy for the mayor, Marshall Crawley Dake etc. to ask the Earps to risk their lives, just to turn sulky, when they don't want to. Oh, and my favourite line from the movie is : "Maybe poker's just not your game Ike, let's have a spelling contest." Since Ike was such a douchebag, I think this final humiliation was well deserved.

[@tonyvoyles296]

This is a true story

[@tornadowarrior4534]

Still baffles me that there are people that haven’t watch this epic movie.

[@encrypter46]

I only have one movie for you that no one has reacted to and it's one that I watch once a year. It's a fantasy western unlike anything else. "Purgatory" (1999) with Eric Roberts, Sam Shepard, Donnie Wahlberg and Randy Quaid. It's not near as good as "Tombstone" but I'm fairly certain you won't ever forget it.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

We will look into it, thanks for the recommendation!

[@Enrique-Garcia]

"Some old school tonic." More like some old school morphine.

[@adampare8088]

My top 3. 1 Tombstone 2. Young Guns 3. Long Riders

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

A few others recommended Young Guns, we might have to check it out!

[@adampare8088]

@JrocksAndDevinity You'll love it if you do

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

@adampare8088 Sold! We will add it to the list!

[@adampare8088]

@@JrocksAndDevinity I'll be there for it. A Young Guns reaction is always worth a watch. You can't go wrong with this one.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Intelligent and perceptive reaction---well done! Try watching "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner as Wyatt and Dennis Quaid as (a great) Doc Holliday. It makes for a good comparison, especially since they were both filmed around the same time.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Thanks so much!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Tussels performance was so good in this, unfortunately, Kilmer took it to the next level with his portrayal of doc holliday. I was always hoping that they would make a prequel about Doc Holiday, starring Val Kilmer. A pipe dream of course.

[@Firemedic3017]

41:10 this is the only part of this movie what can’t be verified as historical fact. When Ringo was killed Doc was on trial in Colorado but really nobody knows who actually killed Ringo. Also historians argue about what Doc Holiday actually says in his “I’m your Huckleberry” line. That is because a few people were quoted as saying he would tell everyone that, however at the time the term “Huckleberrier” ment “ to be a pallbearer” so he could have been offering to carry someone’s casket the whole time. If you ever get a chance go visit Tombstone, Arizona. It’s a small town in the middle of nowhere but worth the trip if you’re in the region. You can see all the bulletin holes in The Birdcage and see Morgan’s blood on the pool table where he died.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

Visiting Tomestone would be amazing!

[@allengray5748]

First time visiting! TOMBSTONE so had to!! Also noticed 3 days post and only 1.3K views so,, had to! Seen this twice and a friend mentioned Billy Bob Thornton as the big mouth dealer. Didn't recognize him. Also most don't seem to know what a opium den is from which Curly was in. This might be in my Top 20 movies!!?? Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

It was soooo good! 🔥 I thought i spied Billy Bob Thornton. Thanks for watching the movie with us!

[@allengray5748]

@JrocksAndDevinity Spied? Nice word choice! Great 😒 Now I like you and have to scan your channel and see if you have any of the other reaction standards; Alien,, Aliens,,, Lethal Weapon 1-4, Saving Private Ryan,,, etc. ☯️☮️

[@FrogLegs313]

I actually found the writing somewhat hackneyed and cliched but the cast and acting more than made up for the weaknesses. The characters and even a lot of dialogue are extremely accurate. The only severe inaccuracies were in the timing. The tensions between the Earps and the Cowboys were much deeper and had developed over several years with a lot of the angles not even examined. Virgil's wounding and the assassination of Morgan actually took place about 6 months apart. The scene in The Oriental when Doc and Johnny Ringo meet sets the attitudes of Johnny and Curly Bill from then on. The gun spinning was considered a cheap parlor trick learned by drovers on the trail to pass the long hours in the saddle and had nothing to do with actually shooting. As drunk as Doc was, he calmly watched Ringo do his little trick one time then repeated it back at him using his whiskey cup instead. Watch their faces as he repeats the trick. Their expressions change from amusement to fear. Wyatt and Doc had a falling out a while before Doc died. Doc didn't approve of Wyatt's relationship with Josie and the way he treated Maddie. He was gone for a couple of months before Wyatt ever found out he had passed away.

[@kimtalley4496]

If ya'll haven't reacted to Young Guns 1 & 2. I recommend both. It's about Billy The Kid.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

We will add them to the list, thanks!

[@mcgee227]

You would love Open Range

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

We will check it out, thanks! 😊

[@eliascarrasco1063]

Wyat Earp & doc holiday had a falling out in the later years. They never spoke to each other again. Doc holiday is buried in Colorado. But nobody knows for sure in which town. But there is a burial site that exists.

[@JrocksAndDevinity]

@@eliascarrasco1063 Interesting stuff, thanks for the info! 😊
