Come on guys! Let’s get the History Hunters up to 100k subs! It’s an awesome channel and deserves the audience! Thanks Jeff and Sarah!

I would seriously doubt anyone would know who he is let alone his role in history since it seems most schools don’t teach history anymore except what they want taught.

This Governor sounds like the typical politicians of today, making laws regardless of if they’re Constitutional or not.

Tree destruction can be prevented if the authorities would just trim trees and remove hazardous trees from the needed areas. Jeff, when I lived in Auburn, CA a few years ago, PG&E made a concerted effort to have trees trimmed so they wouldn't damage the overhead wires. Thanks again Jeff for showing us a little bit of California history that I didn't know anything about.

We must learn from the past and not destroy it. It’s History if we like it or not. Another fine video Jeff , Thank you

Another dark part of our history, but it happened and should not be erased but learned from. Thanks once again Jeff and Sara. Martin Wilhelm.

That is so sad that the tree did so much damage! I hope there is some way to possibly repair some of the stones. Jeff and Sarah thank you so much for another great history lesson!

Another great video. Whether you like it or not, you can’t change history. Without learning our history, we are doomed to make the same mistakes.

Thanks Jeff and Sarah. The more I know about Californias first politicians the more I understand how things never change. Thanks again for the real history..

A wonderful Thursday evening History Hunters video!! Thank you Jeff. ….Russell D.

Another interesting story jeff 😉👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Yes Jeff sometimes our history can be hard to face. What's that old saying we must face our history or be doomed to repeat it. Anyway enjoy the video as always thanks for sharing.

Gr8 story, but sad 😢 about the Maker. Will you're almost to 100,000 Yes...

I had never looked into the First Governor of California... also was unaware that San Jose was the first Capital... thought it was Benicia... anyways as always great job on digging into our State History and as always very informative episode! 👍👍

The recent storms might have made a huge mess but surely it didn’t blow in all those pebbles. That is a very plain and dry looking cemetery, those trees 🌲 sure are beautiful though. Thanks Jeff. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

That chapel has an underground mausoleum. It dates back to the 1870's and is the only underground mausoleum in the state. Must have several hundred crypts. I went down there once in 1982 before it was sealed up with a concrete entrance and steel door I guess years later. Before that, It had a stair case leading down to a locked iron gate. The chapel was built over the mausoleum in 1901. Curious and being a history buff even back in those days, plus a San Jose native, I brought a flashlight (no lighting in mausoleum) and squeezed through the bars. I was super skinny 21 year old back then. I took some photos too with my ancient Kodak camera with flash cubes. Only one picture came out though. As I recall, the earliest date was someone who died in 1876 and stated on his crypt he was from San Francisco, or a native of San Francisco? I can't recall. The latest dates were in the 1950's. One thing I forgot to mention, one of the crypts at the ground level was opened up. Apparently some family members had the casket disinterred to a new location outside the mausoleum. There was a pile a bricks next to it with the crypt marble slab. It was a women who was a native of Sicily who died in 1922. Inside that crypt was two approximately 6 foot long 2x4's that was used to slide the casket in. The mausoleum was pretty creepy down there.

Hello Jeff Sarah seems to me that's more damage than just a tree falling over. I think that the cemetary has neglected there responsibly for that area. He is a part of history even as bad as what he was. Have a great day.

Jeff thank you for showing Governor Burnett resting place. Great historical story! Thanks for sharing!

ONCE AGAIN THX FOR SHOWING THIS. I LIVE IN SANTA CLARA CA. MY MOM IS BURIED THERE. I SAW THIS FIRST HAND. MASSIVE TREE.👍❤️👋

Love your style. Speaking truth with respect. Even when you talk about people with a dark history

Thanks for the tour of the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. My family is there. I haven't been there for awhile. Makes me realize I need to pay another visit.

Thank you, Jeff! That was very interesting. I wonder who is responsible for putting the grave markers back up... family, State of California? That is definitely a beautiful cemetery with all the tall standing markers and structures. Once again, great research and narration. Closing in on 100K subs! 🇺🇲🚜👍

Good or bad history - it has to be remembered. It's the only way to move forward. Thanx Jeff and Sarah.

Treasures become lifes trash, how true. Now I have an idea who the first California governor was, thanks to you.

So gr8 to get another HH vid Jeff! Thnx for all you do!

Really enjoyed watching this episode. Glad you shared this video. People should know about our history, good or bad!

What a terrible storm that was! I thanks for another educational video!

Hi Sarah and Jeff thank you for the interesting history it is terrible to see the damage being done to the cemetery and through the graves and not being repaired how awful. How awful this is thank you for showing it to us and going along and letting us see what all is going on because without you this would not be possible you deserve all the thanks and the much hard work that you do is appreciated from me. Love and hugs to you take care God bless.

Great story. Hope someone will restore the markers. Glad I stayed up to catch it. Almost 100K !!!!! Subs

Thank you for another well-researched video. The former Governor was a real racist wasn't he. Maybe karma took out his gravestone. Where is your better half? Please give your viewers a bonus video every once in awhile. Your videos are so enjoyable and informative.

Thank you for sharing history with us.

Wow, Jeff! Talk about a history lesson in this video. I'm not surprised by Governor Burnett's name being removed from schools and such, but I am surprised vandalism wasn't the cause of his grave's destruction. Thanks for another great history lesson.

As always great video J&S, Thanks. Cheers!

Thank you for this video Jeff!

Thanks for posting this video. I live about 10 miles from that cemetary and this is the first I've heard of the storm damage there! None of the local news outlets even mentioned this!!

Thank you for visiting my hometown of Santa Clara, CA! I hope your visit was a pleasant one.

Was raised in SoCal. Was taught the history of my State and the people. Yes it was terrible times. But if you choose to erase it then future generations will repeat it.

Great episode thanks for sharing

So many bad storms through the years! I recall other flooding incidents and very wet years. 1982 was bad followed by the Coalinga earthquake. When I lived in Exeter in 1982 was the first time I’d ever seen a funnel cloud on the way home from Tulare! Tulare Lake Basin actually has water and roads were blocked by Corcoran! Thanks for the outstanding content! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!♥️ p.s. I’m totally homesick at the moment…

Wow you guys got some crazy weather this year, only been once this year quick trip to Bakersfield and back, another great video Jeff thanks for sharing 👍

Wow , Jeff nice surprise video on Friday, well Thursday night but I was asleep when you put it up. Anyway good video Jeff. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA. PS. Are we still gonna get one on Sunday? Hope so...

That Governor just looks like he needed his ass kicked. I hope the markers are repaired and set back to their original positions. You can't erase the past. Enjoyed the history lesson.

Well you guys are full or surprises, this time with a Friday video drop. Another great video. While we cannot change history and the actions over 150 years ago, I do believe we should also not destroy the history, in the case graveyards. Hopefully the authorities will restore this one to the pre storm condition.

Another great video!

We’re descendants of Peter. My mom and I were there in 2016. Ill watch the video and send to family….ty for sharing

I hope those get repaired. I know we've been fixing fences and cutting up fallen trees around the ranch for a month now from those storms! This was an eye opener story for me, what a sick evil man. Even the tree couldn't stand him.

Excellent!

Wow. That tree did a lot of damage. Maybe delayed karma for the old governor. Interesting as always. Thank you. ☮️💖🎶

The history of the first governor speaks for itself... 😖 *However, his monument was not the only one affected...😮‍💨 Thanks Jeff, for sharing this with us. That's quite a cemetery. 🤔🧡 On a positive note, you and Sarah are about to reach 100,000 well deserved subscribers. 🤗👏🤠

I lived right next to this cemetery while growing up. I even worked there during summer school break. The cemetery is owned by the Catholic Church. The local prominent Moore family managed the cemetery and the surrounding large orchards. (Prunes & apricots) I worked in both the orchards and the cemetery. Mr. Moore, the manager, treated this poor boy very well. I have never forgot his generosity. I have numerous relatives interred here. I recently visited my mother’s niche to find that my close childhood friend is interred nearby. Quite a surprise. One of the features prominent in this cemetery is photographs of the interred imbedded in many of the markers. My grandmother, who died in 1945 has one and it’s still visible today. Years back my 9 year old daughter and I were looking for her headstone. My daughter found it by herself looking at the marker photograph saying, “It’s her. She looks just like you daddy “! She had found the correct grave. Incredible. When I worked there as a young boy graves were dug by hand. Grave digging was an art and a skilled worker could dig one very quickly. It was amazing! Working, living and growing up in the rich agricultural Santa Clara Valley area was a wonderful experience…. and we were poor as church mice.

I love these Tours

Very interesting video, thank you.

Wow I just dig your vids

In Louisiana, New Orleans primarily, there are above ground crypts due to the water table.

Thank you Jeff for sharing this video and a lot of those old trees unfortunately are breaking off and destroying things now.

Very interesting

Nice surprise to see your video tonight. Cemeteries are rich in history. Unfortunately racism is deeply rooted in history which still baffles me.

How sad. I hope they are able to repair or replace all of the headstones. Trees are nice, but they sure can be deadly. I saw somethings similar last year just a few feet away from Lucille Ball's gravesite in Jamestown, NY.

Thanks Jeff. another fine video. Didn't get your history envelope mailed yet. Will do so, soon. Also have a heavy book about the whole history of San Jose done by the then city of San Jose historian Clyde Arbuckle who by the way is Fatty Arbuckles half brother and a man my husband met several times who passed him on merit badges for Boy Scouts in the 50's and 60,s. the best to you both J and A

Wow that guy was a jerk! Great info here and I hope those markers get fixed.

Wow.

Friday’s a lot better now..... haha .snuck away from work to watch. I bet the other guys are looking for me!!!!! Lol

In California, some trees are worn down from excessive hugging. This could have weakened it.

I don't know when you filmed this. Has any repair work been done? Thank you for another great film. Hi Sarah, missed seeing you.

Always sad to see a bit of history destroyed even if it was from a dark time, but all country's have it. Kind of ironic that his grave had a tree on it and a tree smashed it. Very good video Jeff thankyou

Loved this one, too.....gonna try to find where I can get a pepper tree....pretty.

We have a Burnett street in Long Beach too.

Sent to fast 99.3 thousand THATS GREAT MY FRIEND

That is shameful. Regardless of the Governor's views, his grave deserves respect. Timely repairs post haste!

Maybe a higher power is trying to tell us something it just had to wait for the tree to grow lol anyway thanks for the history lesson I love watching.

Another interesting show Jeff. Maybe karma for the 1st governor, knock him off his pedestal?

What a mess but I don’t care for how California has fallen apart but I appreciate what you cove

Well done, thank you for sharing. I'm looking for the 100K party.

Awesome bonus video y'all, and Good evening!! James Dobson was correct in his statement about "life trashing treasures", we personally can attest to losing all material possessions in the space of 45 seconds, but seeing our lives saved from the storms fury... That governor....something tells me that the glowing epitaph written on the marker might not have sat well with the Almighty, given that man's hatred for his fellow man, as an Oak tree of all things (1 of the strongest root systems), fell & CRUSHED into pieces, his tombstone...🤔🤔

Makes you wonder how a man like Burnett influenced, history. His ideology was excepted by some, at the time. Now reject by most today he is just a foot note in history. Gone and only remembered, in a small stone marker, as a small man that he was! thank you ALL stay safe

Sounds like California governors have not changed. California is still high taxed. Only people going to be left is real rich or real poor. Middle class leaving in droves. It's to bad this has happened to grave stones. To many years of a drought, tree roots will come to surface in search for water then high winds come and they topple over. Would like to see a update on how they put everything back together. Thank you for bringing our attention to this.

I wonder if the city or cemetery will repair the damage….. well at least as much as practical. What is typical under these circumstances? Jeff, off topic, but have you seen the new Tesla semi trucks out your way? They are supposed to be at the Pepsi (Fito-Lay) facility in Modesto.

A lot of these people that like to remove certain monuments or cheer when they are destroyed do not discriminate they hate most people equally, our past is what it is and very few of us have lead completely innocent lives, the best we can do is to let it go and move on.

🕯☕️👍

Interesting History Jeff, l really enjoy your vlogs. In my opinion any human that cheers the destruction of another human's grave is guilty of hypocrisy, (and need to get a life)for all have sinned and held beliefs that God doesn't approve of, which we ask for his mercy, such as Hatred, which is all too present in today's world, there's too much of that already.

That mission will eventually get those gravestones repaired I’m sure.

San Jose unified school district renamed Peter h Burnett jr high in San Jose several years ago.

Makes me realize how wrong people are when they say gone but not forgotten… everyone here has been forgotten it seems.

Hopefully the cemetery fixes these graves and headstones, there is some cement glue for things like this, quite a few headstones were damaged

The former Governor’s grave wasn’t destroyed. Some grave markers and other grave decorations were displaced or destroyed.

Lol John Walsh… another john Walsh the host of America’s most wanted

Welcome to the San Francisco Bay area

You mentioned the grave site may have been damaged because of his racist views (But it was the recent storms). If you approached 500 random people in California and asked them to name the first governor, I would estimate that NONE of those 500 could do so. I guess my point, no one is going to damage the gravesite of a person no one has ever heard of. Hell, half the people couldn't tell you who the current governor is.......

Thanks for another great educational video. For sure he wouldn’t make it in politics today.

It would have been cool to use that wood from the old oak tree.

LOTS OF HISTORY IN CEMETARIES!!!! WE ALL DIE SOMETIME, BUT WE ALL LEAVE A LEGACY!!!!

Is this a replacement for the upcoming Sunday video?

sounds like that oak tree was karma, honestly. these headstones will be repaired no doubt, but what an awful man.

This poor fellow was full of a lot of hate. I'm sure his life was more misery than good because of it..

Jeff, It’s ridiculous that present day people judge those that were around a century or centuries before they were born. Many had different views and beliefs back then, How many people now would want every move and idea in their lives judged by the people in 200 years?…Also, If the man didn’t like certain people; Well, That’s his right.. Unlike now, When everyone is supposed to agree with the masses(Sheep).

He was the one trashing Gods treasures.

I hope they fix them up a little. He was a terrible person and that’s why his story should always be told.

I thought Pio Pico was Californias first governor?

Tomb @10:15 architecture reminiscent of Mitchell's in Turlock. Wonder if built by same? Im predicting, hoping and praying you'll hit 100k in less than 1 week. 🙂 Let's go History Hunters!

I thought Jose figeroa was the first governor of California?!
