My vast love of Pueblo and it's people now has more of a historical understanding. I am more amazed and proud of the Pueblo Communities. I 💗P.town USA more than ever. Now I also know about Lucky the spotted horse on the tree. Thank You 💖 Much Love

I lived in pueblo for 6 months but in those short 6 months I fell in love with the town such a beautiful town with beautiful vintage buildings! If you are vintage freak like me you’ll agree! A piece of my heart is still in pueblo❤️❤️ I enjoyed seeing all the old photos of the town😍 a lot of the buildings still stand to this day

So moving!! This is my home town!! Proud to be a Pueblo Colorado native!!

Thank you for the history lesson. I am born and raised Puebloan .. you even showed our houses.. in the old photos.

At the 34:44 mark, I believe the "carpet factory fire" mentioned was my grandfather's business, Trani Designer Rugs. It's a very interesting story that lead him to move the business to his home on Overton Road where my parents live now.

Wonderful documentary ! Thank you for the time and effort that was put into this.

Imagine doing all of this with no government hand outs.

I love learning new bits of history so this was really interesting to me. My mother would have been a month old when this happened.

Excellent video! Thank you for making it to document the centennial anniversary of this local tragedy. Exciting to see such a renaissance happening in Pueblo right now!

Colorado Pueblo green chili!! Best!!

Born and raised here pueblo co. Its interesting to learn about my home town history.

100 years later and pueblo still has not bounced back from this event.

in his time, my great grandfather was among 8 folks that were granted free citizenship and remained farmers here in Pueblo. I have history here as well as La Junta CO.

Thought I knew all about it until I saw this! Simply terrible what those poor people had to go through.

Excellent presentation! Thank you!

Any information on Walt Drummond who wrote the piece used in the opening of this program? Thank you.

Very well done. Whoop whoop Pueblo

My two uncles had been in Colorado visiting relatives and were on the train. They both died in the flood.

Great documentary. I did not know this and I lived in Pueblo.

funny, I spent most of my HS years in Pueblo living in one of the older homes off Greenwood and never heard this story... The house was built around this time and is at least 15' above street level..

What about flood that hit pueblo in sixties i was there and saw it in person i was standing on top of fourth street and joplin water never reached top of joplin fourth street to high it was a experience hard to forget

NICE TOO SEE RAISE BORE HERE IN PUBLO ❤️

I remember the flood in the 60’s. We watched from the Belmont area since it was higher ground

I searched library up and down for any and all Pueblo archives never came across any of this footage?

Celedonia Rebelloso, my great great grandmother and other family members made it over the Rio Grande and through the flood of Pueblo, but family pictures did not.

Wow.

Stayed in a hotel in Pubelo a few years back, and had everything I'd left in my car stolen....desk clerk said it was a common occurrence.

flipped and twisted as they show a train barely leaning over. - priceless Then he said piles of lumber were washed downstream, and they showed dry lumber neatly stacked and untouched by a flood. Mkay

If a location is at high risk for flood damage it’s illogical to think that businesses would want to stay there or expand.

Home of Heroes!

History repeats

Didn't know

Build back better

Nobody can tell me who occupied the massive civilization 10 miles NE of pueblo, the ranchers dont even know whats on their property. Fly drones and you'll see the massive city pre1900. In 1976 we rebuilt Fort Bent. The metropolis by Pueblo looks much older. The foundations didnt have square corners. Each building was massive for that era, showing the drone pics some say maybe it was field clearing for crops with rock formation still at the edge (desert). IDK, but that doesn't explain the massive mounds that have smaller narrow mound of dirt and rock connected to the foundation more noticeable from bout 600 ft. to bout 1000 ft. the mounds look very similar to the burial mounds for the giant ppl found @ 6 to 12 ft tall, someone thought the mounds could be a wells,

719 always on my mind

' beautifully city / history in america... dont need a state

The rain comes from "the Mountains". How ambiguous does that comment seem to everyone? And to add this statement from an accredited and licensed Engineer is criminal action. Go right ahead and mention that the Decker Dam wouldn't have stopped this from occurring. Because it just wouldn't have.😊

I’m here for the flood. I have to plow through 14 minutes of ads and how diverse everybody and everything is first? No wonder nobody watches PBS anymore. TheHistoryGuy Covers it in less than 15 minutes...

Hilarious watching SNOBS describe people that work for a living!!!!

Funny how diversity, the new buzzword, has anything to do with a flood. Had to stop watching this.

ahhh...Pueblo, Jonesboro AR of the West yet always comparing itself to Pittsburgh

@33:16 calm down, Mr. Feminist. Women take their husbands name in the real world. Stop acting like it's a crime. It's just tradition, not an affront. 100 years after this event, it continues, you "journalist."

AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A LOCOMOTIVE LOST IN THE FLOOD?
