Tombstone's Boot Hill Cemetery

This famous cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona gets hundreds of visitors each day and they come from all over. It is partly factual and partly legend but one that is worth visiting if you get the opportunity.

Florentino - that is indeed Indian Charlie, he was one of the assassins of Morgan Earp, and he was killed by Wyatt and the posse that he put together, with Doc Holliday and others on the “vendetta ride”. When you panned up from his grave, you see the very dramatic Dragoon mountain range, I camped in there many years ago, it is said that Apache Cheif Cochise’s tomb is hidden near the “strong hold” in those mountains, no one has found it yet. Great episode.

Here I lye in boot hill cemetery, no less no more. Oh well guess I'm not a poet. Thanks for the tour Rhetty. Maybe someday I'll get there.

I was there in the late 60's. I was in the Army at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. I also visited "Old Tucson" where John Wayne made a lot of movies. It burned down many years ago, they rebuilt it, but never the same. Thanks for the video! (Huachuca is pronounced with a W)

I’m so glad you took us here. I would love to think someday I will see this in person but probably not. So I’m loving this. Thank you.

I enjoyed this video about, Boothill, in Tombstone, Arizona. I heard years ago, Tombstone was a town "to tough to die in." Rhett, I liked the fact that you told us about whether or not some of the people in Boothill were real of fictional. Loved the background scenery and skyline. Take care 🐎

The facts being sketchy and blurry just adds to the experience I think.

Wowzer double play, I was just there as a birthday trip guess I am just more interested in history than anything else. Anything I missed there you have filled the blanks and starting in Jan. After the holiday I am going to see the burial sites of every president and their homesteads. I have been saving my money so January I begin with president Kennedy then home save up and go from there.. as a kid wee small my dad would take us on vacation and would use this as a vacation and history lesson now my children are making these trips to educate their kids on the history of this nation. You are very very important in achieving the goal of helping our youth learn our history and fight against cancel culture. You are a wonderful caring man and very special in my book and smart too. The necklace means that they are protected on their journey to the afterlife, it is a tradition I asked about that and that is what I was told

This video was awesome. The reason they don’t have accurate records is because there was a fire that destroyed almost all the records of the people buried there and the true locations. They tried to salvage as much as they could in regards to who and where people were buried. This is why they don’t have accurate locations to many of the graves and the cause of deaths. Some people were never located after the fire and you could be walking on them without even knowing. Great video, I loved it all the times I went. Thank you for the video 😁

[edwardaustin]

Always love the videos..Always learning. Thank you.
