@@petersack5074 I completed the public school system, then went on to college where I got a bachelors degree from UNR. That being said I have Dyspraxia which effects my spelling and I rely heavily on spellcheck, but if spellcheck accidentally missed a word and I don’t catch it.. Then, I guess we can blame the public school system and the private school system. That being said, this video wasn’t about a spelling error, it was about the history of our area. If a simple spelling mistake in the title affected the greater lesson then I’m sorry. Or if you are just trying to make someone who has a learning disability feel bad about themselves, I’m sorry you did not accomplish that goal. I am a history teacher not an English one. But I wish you the best and hope you have a great day.

@@rarecj8jeep187 I think The story of William station is super interesting. Check out my video on Lahontan Reservoir. I go into William station and the whole pyramid lake war. ❤️

@@GlennDubski88 Music has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions and connect us to different aspects of life in unique ways. When I went to Aurora and walked amongst the graves I felt a connection to these people and wanted to show respect by sharing their stories as homage to their lives. I couldn’t think of a better way to show respect than with this powerful song that brings up emotion and talks about someone who went down the wrong path, and needs saving, just like many of the outlaws that lived and died in Aurora. Respecting and remembering those who have fallen is never a waste, it’s a meaningful way to make their stories even more impactful. Everyone experiences music differently, and while you may not have felt the connection, It doesn’t make a difference to me, because this is about the music and how it resonated in me. Whatever this song means to you is personal to you, and I would never presume to tell you that your feelings are wrong

@@TheHypnotstCollector I had never even heard about it until I started researching for this video. Thank you for the extra info 💙 I’m completely going to read more about it now.

@@mapadventures I know this era.... I own JC Fremont's explorations c.1844 and later. And Preuss Maps, Gunnison map 1845. And other explorers and travelers. And many dozens of original books on Mountain Meadows Massacre 911 1857. And I collect maps. That's how I found your channel, looking for map nuts. Found one so far.......Ok, but only a couple other channels..... Drove to Tahoe 7-27-24 and hwy 88 now has "California Trail" signs on the east end.... And there is the Mormon road off of 88, around 5000ft, 10 miles or so above Pioneer . And Maidens Grave and Tragedy Spings, also Mormon are nearby. And Genoa is/was a Mormon town. The Mormons left there and many other places in 1857 to heed Bring'em Young's order for all Mormons to come to Utah to fight the USA. Many thousand Mormons did as ordered.

@@venom12o79 thank you

@@mattschultz5036 thank you! I’m glad you liked it.

@@spazzrock1 thank you, I work really hard on them.

@@spazzrock1 thank you 😊

@@slappynixon you’re welcome. It’s my pleasure to make them.

@@slappynixon thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I use Buster Keaton in a lot of my videos, because it’s Royalty free and because he’s awesome!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 💙

It’s always a fun time with you behind the camera!

Thank you, I’m glad you like them 💙

I work really hard on the research phase, I’m glad you liked it.

Correct, Lake street was named after Myron Lake. Virginia Lake (originally called County Lake) was made by the CCC in the early 1930’s. So first came the man, then came the road, then came the lake 🤓

Your comment just made my whole week! Thank you, I worked really hard on it. I’m trying to get Part 2: Lake’s Crossing done and posted by this upcoming Friday.

Thank you, I’m glad you like it

Thank you, I put a lot of work into my videos. I’m glad you like them ❤

Thank you❤

Thank you for watching them 🤗. I really enjoy making them, I have another one that I am trying to get out today or tomorrow. I wish I could do them more on a set schedule but they’re kind of time-consuming and I have to have a real job lol

It’s more related to the old town of Auburn. It sits on what was the Sullivan Ranch. John Sullivan worked at the English Mill, which at the corner of Clearacre & Wedekind in 1864. A little town called Auburn was also located there for the workers of the Mill. John Sullivan worked for the English Mill Company as a foreman and subsequently bought his property from the English Mill Company. He then went on to have one of the most prosperous ranches in the Truckee Meadows. The rock house is one of the buildings from the ranch. For more information on Auburn, you can check out my video

Thank you, I’m glad you like them I’m working hard trying to finish a new one for Saturday about Fullers Crossing, the precursor to Reno

@@mapadventures <3

I saw that, thank you! It made my day to see them posted 💙

@@mapadventures ❤ glad i could help. i did it cuz its interesting but also love supporting youtubers too

I receive my info from a bunch of different sources. I strive for accuracy so I try not to receive my information from just one place I like to verify it from multiple sources. I usually start off with the newspapers because they writing things as they were happening. Then I’ll compare them with what has already been written. It’s actually the research part of that takes the longest to complete. With the Maps, I have a ton of different sources, UNR has some great maps, also I use David Rumsey, he has an amazing historical map collection. Here’s a link www.davidrumsey.com

Great question. After Mexico ceded Alta California to the US there was a fast migration to the new land, which caused a quick need to create states and boundaries. Since the Mt. Diablo meridian is based on the land survey system, they didn’t use it because it was still un surveyed land. To make it easy they just took Freemonts map and chose a meridian that didn’t seem to split geographical features and drew a straight line.

I love that. I would love to see your artwork, do they still have it there? I love that museum

I’m glad you liked it 😀. I hate it so much that Reno doesn’t seem to care about its history.

“Every Road is a toll road” lol

I admire your zeal fir history. But the Carson route ended at ragtown station. Where the Carson river flowed. The Carson river narrows were lahontan lake is now... was skipped by many wagon trains. The original route of the pony express went south of silver springs until the pyramid lake Indian wars. The pony express routed over stillwater dog leg.

True, it’s not exactly in the middle of the desert. I wasn’t meaning to imply that it was, I was using the phrase as an idiom, similar to saying “middle of nowhere” of course it isn’t in the middle of nowhere. It was meant as a joke referring to the fact that it is very remote.

I believe you’re mixing up the Carson river trail with the Carson emigrant trail (Although neither ended at Ragtown) As I explain in the video this route was for those who didn’t want to go through the narrows of the Carson River Canyon. The Carson Trail turns west at Ragtown, follows the river 4-ish miles, then leaves the river to bypass the narrows of the Carson River Canyon, it then passes by Hawes Station on its way to Fort Churchill. If you need more evidence there is a Carson Trail marker at Hawes Station which reads: “ Carson Trail - alkaline bed Passed some curious dry sinks, level as water, solid as marble, went down stony and steep hill to river - Hamden Aubrey Cagwin. Aug. 1, 1850” I have included a couple of links that show this marker and explain the route of the Carson Trail. emigranttrailswest.org/virtual-tour/carson-trail/ forgottennevada.org/sites/photos/Hawe%27s%20Station/album/index.html#20130928_141005.jpg npshistory.com/publications/trails/nv.pdf

@@mapadventures you are correct... I must have had too much sun?...

Thank you

Thank you, 😊 I work really hard on the videos so your comment made my day.

Me too

Thank you good sir

Yes, over near Lahontan

Thank you! Your comment made my day.

You should definitely check it out.

🤗 Im glad you liked it. I’ve been filming to do a few more.

There is quite a bit of info about the mine it’s self (it was actually several mines in the district. UNR has a lot of it.

I’m not exactly sure what the composition of the water was but here are a few helpful links that talk about it. data.nbmg.unr.edu/Public/Geothermal/SiteDescriptions/Reno.pdf www.ronhess.info/docs/Bulletin91/Storey.pdf americanpacificmining.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/UNIVERSITY-OF-NEVADA-RENO_1990-01.pdf

Yes, but Auburn NV is a lot hotter lol ❤️

This is awesome! I love when I can help to connect the past to now, it is literally why I do these videos. ❤️ George Wedekind was an awesome man (and a fellow piano player) ❤️

My favorite pleasure. I’m glad you liked it.

Thank you. I’m working on a new video to be out Saturday 🤗
