I really enjoy seeing these old cemeteries... like you said there’s so much history and to just stop and think these people lived before electricity or radio and even cars. I know life would’ve been hard back then in lots of ways but in other ways things were so much simpler. Loved watching this!

I think it's a shame that progress has swept away all of the smaller communities that once existed, all that is left now to prove they even existed is the graves of the people who once lived in those area's. Thank you for taking us on a trip to get a small glimpse of the past. x

What an interesting cemetery! We sometimes fail to appreciate what we have as compared with what these people had. Imagine having to heat water on a wood stove or cast iron pot. You had to walk or deal with a horse to visit.. What it you got an abscess tooth!!!! I am ole fella and have heard many stories handed down by my grandfather. (Civil War Vet) It was not easy.. My thanks to you again....

I often wonder if somehow they rose from the dead (not zombified) and looked around how shocked they would be. The town they knew, the landscape, it’s all gone and completely changed. They probably never imagined it would be gone.

Excellent video! I have to admit, I get a bit jealous of y'all being in such peaceful, quiet, serene places. Seems not any - or many - cars even passed when you were there. I have never heard such quiet. Very soul soothing. It's always so sad to see the graves of children. Not only was it hard being a child back in the day, it was hard to be a parent. Some buried 1, 2, 3 children, or more. Absolutely devastating.💔 Thank you for your travels, your discoveries, and for taking us along with you to enjoy your finds. I love your interesting narrations, too. You're a natural!😊

One out at a place called Sofala an old mining town has a grave of a Chinese man that was born in China before Australia was discovered , he died in 1835 and I was really sad for him resting in peace in a foreign land far from his family.

Good video!! THANKS!!! for focusing on the veterans graves and mentioning their units. Whenever I visit a long forgotten, overgrown cemetery, those are usually the first graves i seek out. Have visited grave sites of veterans from all of America's conflicts. Mexican-American War veterans would be the most rare to find for me. Revolutionary War veterans not very common west of Mississippi River, though have found a few in Illinois and Missouri. Furthest WEST Rev War veteran that I have found would be in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Liberty, MO, - same cemetery where Jesse James and his family are buried in.

I usually travel Hwy 17 because of the history and the gentle pace of the road. So maybe the salt road is part of Hwy 17. But I always thought it was called the Kings road.
