That tree with the scraps of cloth hanging from it is the "wishing tree", so named by a cancer patient who always loved the tree and placed their first 'wish' on the tree while undergoing chemo therapy. (So far the wish has worked well! Knock on wood....) That same individual volunteered to work with children undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital and they now put their own wishes on the scraps of cloth, which he (or she) then takes up to the tree and hangs it for the child. I don't know much more than that - just GOOGLE and ask about the tree with the scraps of cloth on the path to Doc Holliday's grave.
Thank you for looking that up and sharing that with us. It certainly sounds like a beautiful thing to do. There must be thousands and thousands of wishes there.
Wow, such a small world. You said Doc Holliday lived in Dallas, Denison Texas and then several other places and then Tombstone... I live just northwest of Dallas, and my Grandfather was a Fireman for 54 years in Denison, Texas. And I volunteered for a month in Sierra Vista, just outside of Tombstone, guarding the border in 2005. We must have just missed each other...LOL
Doc got around very well for a sickly individual. He was pretty much a ticking time bomb between his temper, drinking and TB.
@@thomaslucas6079 Well, I know the one who started it has certainly survived!
I heard also growing up that the Native Americans use to also do this.
He arrived quietly and became a legend. DOC HOLLIDAY.
Thank you for watching Zarko!
This location has a special place in my heart because in July 2012 my wife Karen and I drove back to Colorado and we stopped there. Now at the time she was battling leukemia so she stayed in the car down on the road as I hiked up that long trail by myself. She didn’t have the strength to go up there so I made a quick trip of it. I remember feeling disappointed that the gravesite is not necessarily the gravesite. My wife passed away 12 months later and I think about that trip a lot. This was years before I started my History Hunters channel.
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. She must have been sweet and very understanding to wait in the car for you. Our kids waited in the car too but they are like any other kids of the day and glued to the phones. That's how they are on trios unless we get out of the coverage area which did happen. Thank you for watching and sharing your special memory.
So sorry for your loss Jeff.
Thank you Jeff for sharing your personal memory of that day with your dear wife.
She has passed to a greater life and is waiting for you there.
@@karenvecchio7772 thanks. I don’t talk about it a lot but it’s ever present.
@@whiterabbit-wo7hw you are correct!! She loved Jesus and is with him. She had great faith. I’m just sorry she didn’t get to see all of our beautiful grandchildren who came along after her passing.
Hey now, what a cool thing to give me the shout out at the end, you are such a standup guy. Well I knew that.
Loved your take on it. I remember seeing those ribbons in the tree - glad to see the pinned comment, interesting.
Unforgettable hike up -man it was out of breath, very nice Production.
I wasn't quite sure if that was all in remembrance of Doc or if it was towards a more modern person. I'm glad someone was able to solve that mystery for us. This really is a beautiful cemetery and as you know it us well visited. Thank you for watching Ron!
TOMBSTONE MY HOME TOWN. I LOVE IT.
Thank you for watching Short Hand!
I've also read a story that it was too cold to bury Doc in the cemetery so they buried him at the base of the mountain. But never went back and moved him. Doc is one of my favorites from the old west days
There are certainly a lot of thoughts on why no one knows his spot. It seems like that would make sense if it was cold and snowy on the ground. Thank you for watching!
This is the story I heard too.
There's also theory docs dad had his body moved back home to Georgia too, only documented fact is that doc died in Glenwood Colorado.
They don't know where Doc's body is, only the general area. Could be covered by a Home Depot parking lot.
Yes, I have been there and used to be a sign that they think he is at the foot of the mountain, because of snow and ice they couldn't get him up the mountain. He was in love with his cousin in Georgia, but she married another man, and it broke his heart. If the guy had one, to say he was probably a sociopath. He had a serious falling out with Wyatt and they never spoke again. Native Coloradoan, so that thin air doesn't bother me. Grew up with Outlaw stories, love it! Thanks for the video.
In Vietnam I knew an Army Medic SFC whose name was Holiday everyone there called him Doc Holiday. This man looked just exactly like the old pictures of Doc Holiday if you removed the mustache on the old one. As i recall he was a heck of a nice person.
Ran across him after we had both retired at the VFW in Columbus, GA.
Doc's mistress, Big Nose Kate, is buried right here in Prescott, AZ. Virgil Earp was the town constable for awhile. He, Wyatt, and Doc used to frequent the Palace Saloon...which is still here, albeit a bit gentrified. Original back bar, though.
But y'all likely know all this already. Prescott's a great place to live.
I’ve always been fascinated by this character. As you stated, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction. Thanx for the video.
It is difficult but he is still an interesting figure. Thank you for watching Terry!
These clips are rare, but each of that fotos is immortal. Gone with the wind. Best of all it was just the other day considering Wyatt Earp rode in cars and witnessed aviation.
Thanks for the memories! I was there 25 years ago.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Elizabeth!
Saw Wyatt Earp's grave in Colma, California in 2016, and as I walked away I came across New York Yankee slugger Joe DiMaggio's grave with flowers, baseballs and baseball bats left there by fans. I was star struck by both of there grave sites. Just a spiritual feeling.
Holliday’s hometown of Griffin. They claim he’s alongside his father, both in unmarked graves in Oak Hill Cemetery where all the other Hollidays are buried. The theory is, despite his outlaw reputation and estrangement, as the only son of a traditional southern family they quickly and quietly made arrangements for the body to be brought back to Georgia. Given his reputation and growing fame as a kind of Wild West folk hero, they left his grave unmarked so it wouldn’t be disturbed. To support the idea of a father and son side-by-side burial, it is true that no marked grave of his father can be found - in Linwood or anywhere else - even though he was a wealthy landowner and one-time mayor of nearby Valdosta. Headstones for the rest of the family can be found, but no Doc and no father.
Yes he could be in one of two cemeteries in Georgia. It will forever remain a mystery. Of course there is the adopted son that probably got some of the family wealth and things. Thank you for watching!
Sunset Cemetery in Valdosta adjacent to VSU has markers for both Doc’s parents located a mile or so from his childhood home there.
Enjoyed this episode. Doc Holliday was one of the most interesting "characters" in the Old West. He is the reason I started reading about the Old West.
He definitely is an interesting one. Thank you for watching Greg!
Well he is being honored or remembered at a couple of places. Great video.
Yes he is. There is no shortage of people doing that. Thank you for watching!
Its so darn nice we have Rhetty to tune into for a nice peace full, happy guy who has as much respect for our dead than some have of the living, with all this Russia Ukraine war mongering going on in the media, Your videos bring me peace, joy, a little saddness and serenity. Love you Rhetty (I say that as a straight man lol) Thankyou
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your kind words too. Good to see you on the premiere.
Lovely comment
@@lindaball6714 Thankyou from little old me in Yorkshire in the UK
@@RhettyforHistory I enjoyed it. Thankyou
@@ScoopDogg My mom was born in Yorkshire & as a family we explored many areas.However the Lake District is as far I have been in northern Britain.
😎 Doc packed a lot in his short time on this earth …
Yes he did! He was sure on the move a lot for a sickly man. Thank you for watching!
Great place to visit. Nice little hike. The "museum" downtown is pretty cool, too. Small and quaint, but well-done. Good BBQ across and down the street at Smoke.
Thank you for sharing Doc Holiday’s Grave 💙👍🏽
You're welcome and thank you for watching Tony!
My favorite outlaw. Doc Holiday
Thank you for watching Doug!
You have the greatest adventures. No matter what is true or false, good old Doc is one of the most interesting characters in history. Cheers, brother 👍
He certainly is an interesting one. It's interesting to see how both Doc and Wyatt have captivated us for so long. Thank you for watching John!
When my friends and I walked the path, a three legged dog appeared out of nowhere walked with us all the way up and back down and then just disappeared our own tour guide.
Thank you Rhett, great as always. Never get tired of the history. My best to you all. 💘 from Africa 🌍
Thank you so much for watching Yvonne and I'm happy to know you are still enjoying the history.
Great job on this video, the Earp - Holliday stories always fascinate me.
They have captivated us for a long time. Probably more than any other. Thank you for watching!
I was hoping my shot glass was still there. Oh well. Great video as always.
I think k it gets cleaned off regularly. When did you go thru there?
@@RhettyforHistory I was there in September. I did another shot at Kid Curry's grave as well. . I've also done one of the Graves in Griffin GA. I noticed Ron's newest video on Doc, where he goes to the confederate cemetery . I will be going back to Griffin at some point to go there too. That way , no matter which story is true , I can be confident that I have visited him.
Oh ok. I filmed this in June of last year.
@@RhettyforHistory So you were there before I was.
Excellent video..A very beautiful cemetery.
It really is. Thank you for watching!
R.I.P Doc
You were one of my favs from the old west.
A history buff from Canada.
Wow. It’s just gorgeous Rhet. The rags? Neat! Wow
I love your videos because of the great history lessons. Your not just a tour.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Thank you very much for the video! Appreciate it!
You're welcome and thank you for watching TexasEagle!
I enjoying this video of yours of Dr, Holiday I knew of some about him that you mention but I didn't other things you mention Thanks for sharing
You're welcome and thank you for watching Marty!
I love your Deadwood Teashirt
Thank you and I appreciate you watching too!
Another wonderful video, Rhett. I learn something new every time I watch one of them. I enjoyed this very much as I do all your videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this one. It was quite a journey to this one.
One thing for certain: Doc passed at the young age of 36 at the TB Sanitarium in Glenwood Springs.
Love the Old West people and stories, especially living in Arizona. Thanks for bringing this to us Rhetty!
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching Pamela!
I loved this. I LOVE THE western hostory..Especially about the ok corral.you have very informative information on it.wow the tree with rags was so interesting
That was an interesting tree. Someone researched it and I have it as the pinned top comment. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
That was interesting ............Thank You .............
You're welcome and thank you for watching Mark!
I hiked up that hill in January of 2011. The hill was a sheet of ice the whole way up. I was with some locals, but they pussed out, so I had to go alone. It’s a heck of a hike. If you want to be buried up there, I think you better get yourself up there, coz I don’t know who would want to drag you up there.
Love this video
Thank you for watching Tracy!
Thanks. Very interesting both those famous guys buried in the same town.
Yes they are. They draw 1000s of visitors throughput the year. Thank you for watching Dave!
Great video! This one is on my list to see as well :) Glenwood Springs is a very cool and beautiful city hope you got to stay a bit!!
We didn't stay long. We did the touristy thing with the ski lift but that was it other than this cemetery. Thank you for watching!
Good morning Rhett 🙋🏽. I hope that the start of your day is awesome 😃. Awesome video 📸👍🏽. Thanks for sharing this with me ‼️
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great day and weekend too!
@@RhettyforHistory I didn't realize today was Friday ‼️🤣😂😆😅 LOL ‼️ thanks Rhett. You Too have a great weekend 👍🏽
Sometimes it sneaks up on us doesn't it?
@@RhettyforHistory Have you ever thought of doing a trip to Monegaw Springs & Lees Summit?Areas connected with the Younger boys? Sam Bass would also be an interesting one.He isn't as well known as some.You can do stories about Kid Curry.Too bad you can't do Heyes though.LOL.
I have been to Lee Summit and have a video on the Youngers. I also have one on Bass Reeves. As I sad in this video Kid Curry will be soon.
Ah yes. My home state. Been there once years ago. I don't travel as much as I should. But I'm glad you do. 👍
😅 sorry brother. As one who's lived in the high plains for most my life, I can't help but laugh at you being short of breathe. Take it easy. 😄
It was thin there. Of course I was blabbing in footage that I didn't use in this but that doesn't help either. Sarah was a good sport though. She was recovering from a completely broken(shattered) toe. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory oof, here's hoping your next trip out here isn't rough for either of you. Thanks for sharing.
She didn't shatter he toe on the trip. It was a out a year ago. A 45lb plate fell on it about a month before we went.
@@RhettyforHistory ouch ain't that a sonovabitch, if you pardon my french. I didn't think the accident happened at any point on your trip, still the thought of the steep hills of Colorado to certainly be no fun on them crushed toes. Especially since y'all flatlanders. 😄
Another great video Rhetty. Glad you did this one on Doc Holliday's grave. I'm not sure why exactly but he has always been my favorite Wild West era figure. I had watched a 2 part video about this cemetery and the one in Georgia done by Faces of the Forgetten I believe was what that channel was called. If you enjoy reading about Wild West History there's 2 books The World of Doc Holliday by Victoria C. Wilcox and Doc Holliday The Life And Legand by Gary L. Roberts. Which I would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys reading about Wild West History.
Thank you for watching my friend. That was certainly Ron's channel you were watching and the one I was talking about. I beat him to this grave but he beat me with the release of his video. I have several older ones that I need to edit and release still.
I think Doc would probably like sleeping by a mountain.Fascinating guy.
Enjoyed very much thanks
You're welcome and thank you for watching Jim!
good job Rhett, well done video. both doc and logan have always been interesting characters, along with a few others from history. keep these videos coming brother, can't never get enough history!
Love your channel, Rhetty! Great episode, as usual!
Thank you for watching my friend!
I'd be huffin' and puffin' like a steam engine making that hike with asthma..lol
What a story and the music at the end was perfect!
I'm flying to South Dakota this summer and hope to get over to Deadwood.
The first cemetery there was also moved for the most part.
Occasionally they will find a body who's tombstone was moved but not body.. Can you imagine!
Man oh man to have experienced life back then!
I loved Deadwood and spent hours in there. The hike up to the Sheriff is way harder than this one. But it is well worth it. You may just have to sit on the ground. I did twice. Thank you for watching Laura!
Great Video As Always!!! I have always been fascinated with Wyatt Earp & Doc Holiday. GritTV a few nights ago showed “Tombstone” in which I was pleasantly surprised to see this video.
It really is incredible to see how Wyatt and Doc have remained so popular over the years. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I was surprised to learn that the Earp family actually lived in Western Kentucky before moving to Illinois.
On A Different Note; Jesse & Frank James grandmother operated a tavern between Versailles & Midway Ky here in Woodland Co Ky. Jesse & Frank James parents lived near Stamping Ground Ky between Frankfort and Georgetown Ky before Rev. James went out west to seek gold. There’s a TH-cam channel called @FamilyTreeNuts with Russ Carson that covers the James family history pretty extensively as well as the death of William Quantrell and lots of Ky history and historical sites.
The one person that I am kind of wondering about from this area that you may be aware of is Death Valley Scotty in whom I have seen mentioned on a historical mark near Lexington,Ky. Also Rhetty, in my travels, I have seen a historical marker regarding Kit Carson being born near Richmond,KY.
Kentucky seems to have many connections to historical events and people in the “Old West”.
Kentucky and Missouri seem to being some big names as well as some wild ones. There is an alternative there that Jesse James is buried in Kentucky.
@@RhettyforHistory Many years ago when my grandmother was still living, She always claimed that her father used to tell the story that Jesse James stayed with them when he was “Visiting Family” near Shepherdsville KY just south of Louisville. And yes, William Quantrell was shot not all that far from that specific area.
Missouri had many people who came over the Mississippi River from Ky which included many prominent Ky names such as the Boones & Crittadens and many others. I believe that there was a Kentucky Crittaden who was one of Custers 7th Cavalry soldiers killed at Little Big Horn.
Much like the stories of Jesse survival of being shot and relocating to live to old age, History delivers many variations.
With the exhumation of Jesse James grave and the positive DNA sample from a confirmed living family manner, It was pretty much proven that Jesse James was indeed the person whom was buried in that grave and not someone else as some of the stories seem to suggest.
The legend is that William Quantrell has three different grave sites with different body parts of him in each gravesite. Can you imagine?
That is a crazy story on him. I visited one of his three sites a few years back. Definitely a strange story.
Nice video, I love the opening to it with the music and the slideshow very humble.
Thank you for watching Alister!
Growing up in Yugoslavia, Belgrade I read every Doc Holliday dime novel!
" Ge carried his gunslow
My husband and I took the little hike up to the cemetery and visited Doc’s memorial. Glenwood Springs was charming and a beautiful place to visit. 🥰
I wish I can go there and show much respect to that amazing character and sip a couple of whiski shots to his honor
Great story Rhett. I agree that Doc was originally buried somewhere in that cemetery or even like you suggest, possibly lower down the hill due to snow and ice.
I have watched Ron's videos on this topic. I'm going to go with the theory that Doc is buried with or close to his family back home in Georgia.
But like many myths and legends of that era, we may never know the complete truth.
Makes it more fun that way.
Regardless it is certainly bringing some tourism into both areas. No matter where he is it was meant to be left a mystery. Thank you for watching!
The tree is called the Annie (Zancaella) the ribbon tradition started by her represents her own wishes. Dreams and prayers in her fight with cancer. She survived cancer and lives down the slope from the tree
Thank you for watching and filling us in a little more on the tree. From what some said in the comments she continues to put others wishes on the tree. It was quite a site.
Most of what i know of Doc was through all the movies so to see what you have given us was way better Really found it interesting Thankyou Rhetty and Sarah
There have been a lot of movies on him. Thank you for watching!
I’m related to him by marriage. His brother married the famous writer Margaret Mitchell’s sister. Margaret is my great great great aunt!
Thank you for watching and sharing your heritage about him.
Great job Rhett, during Halloween they give ghost tours at the cemetery, and give history on a lot of other people buried there. Also a section known as Potters Field where the poor people were buried that didn’t have money for a burial
Well thanks again for the history and the great views from up there ... always look forward to your posts...
Thank you for watching Michael!
Great video and a nice history lesson! So glad I found you!
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you are here!
Enjoyed this one sir. Thank you.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Sheila!
Pretty insightful of the town doctor to make the connection between bacteria and clean drinking water. Because, I think, (I could be wrong) the idea of germs/bacteria just started gaining momentum in the late 1800s.
This is a great video - thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for explaining the wishing tree! I hope every single one of their wishes comes true. Another great video!
I hope so too! Thank you for watching Tricia!
Rhetty,
I really glad I found your Vlogs.. My first books , other than comics about the West, were The Book of Cowboys
and the Book of Indians by Holling C. Holling.
I grew up in New Jersey ,born 1942, and spent the summers of 68 and 69 visiting many historical sites around the country inspired by those books.
The old photos you show on your site add so much to your presentations.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I'm glad you are here too. I wad a huge comic book reader and also anything non fiction. Especially if it was the old west. There is a ton out there left to cover. Thank you for watching my friend!
I absolutely love the Old West videos from yourself and Ron.....thank you both for doing all the leg work to bring them to us ❤
Thank you so much for watching Julie! I do enjoy the old west. I'm not sure if you have seen the TH-cam Channel Arizona Ghostriders but he is one that is certainly keeping the west alive. That's all his channel is. He's a gunfighter as a hobby and also a regular movie actor extra in the Old Tucson area. He brushes heads with some interesting people but also has some great old west history videos.
Thank you Rhetty I'll pop over to that Channel now and have a look.....you all keep me going on my night shifts, 3 hours left before I can sleep ❤
That's not too long now! I'm glad these videos help you thru the night.
I went to school in that town and visited the site on many occasions. The story was that his grave was hidden because he was buried with his personal effects such as his pistols, which would have been worth quite a bit now.
Thank you for the great video, enjoyed the detailed dialogue. Have spent several days in Tombstone just wandering the township and getting a feel for the place, locations etc, like the period and the stories of all its history.
That is a fascinating town to visit. Thank you for watching Anchors Aweigh!
Been to GS! great town for skiing and soaking
Great job ! How did ANY one get up there for burial lol. Wow didn’t look wide enough for a wagon. Great views great research. Thank u !
That is a good question. My guess is horse with something simple. It would be difficult carrying a coffin or casket but still possible. Definitely no easy task. Thank you for watching Linda!
I was there in the late 1990s! The town has not changed
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing.
You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
Great work you put into this video!
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it C V!
As many times that ive passed through Glenwood Springs, ive never been to that cemetery, wasnt even aware it was there, too bad, as i no longer live in Colorado.
Thanks for sharing🪦🕊💜
You're welcome and thank you for watching Brenda!
I often wonder if any of the famous gunslingers are actually in the graves ? Great story bro !
There is a lot of controversy surrounding many outlaws and lawman concerning where they have been laid to rest. Thank you for watching!
I’m so fascinated with the Wild West and yet I’m pretty sure I would not have wanted to live in those times. Great video 👍 Rhett. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
It was a rough time for sure. But that is all they knew so they didn't think anything about it. Diseases and just finding a way to make a living was the roughest part. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Hey Rhett, my husband and I decided to watch a movie on Netflix as we haven’t watched one for at least 3 weeks. Thanks to watching your channel, I spotted one straight away that I knew I would just love. It’s called Hell on the Border it’s about Bass Reeves. Have you seen it?
My husband and I enjoyed it a lot. Since he like the movie, I’m now showing him your Bass Reeves video and Belle Starr Video as the movie had 1 minute of her in it. Not much but enough to say to my husband let me show you about her on Rhetts channel as well.
I have seen that. Taylor Sheridan is also going to have a series/movie on Bass. I'm not sure when it will be out. Thank you for watching and sharing the videos with your husband!
@@RhettyforHistory your welcome, I will look out for that.
Linwood is about 2hrs. away from me. I love visiting it even if he's no longer there. Coincidentally I'm from Lynnwood, WA
You're not that far away at all. Neat that you're from Lynnewood. Thank you for watching!
Very good history - thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for watching Ann!
Hey Rhett, thank you for this wonderful video.
He truly was a colorful man. Couldn't keep his hands out of gambling and the whiskey cabinet.
I love old Western folklore.
Thank you my friend.
I think that's why we are fascinated with him. Between the disease, whiskey, gambling and a temper he was a ticking time bomb and really didn't care what he did. Not the type you really want as a dentist. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory
He'd be working on your teeth while swearing, drinking whiskey and reaching into your pocket for your money.
Nope. Not my kind of dentist.
Nope I'm sure you would be missing extra teeth!
@@RhettyforHistory 😂🤠
So many interesting things to see.
Thank you for watching Paul!
Enjoyed this video. Earned a new subscriber
I'm glad you enjoyed this one and I appreciate you subscribing.
Very interesting and as usual, nicely presented. The tree with rags on it is also interesting there. In Celtic culture, a Well with clean water, was sometimes attributed with healing properties. Tying a rag to a nearby tree was part of a ritual of healing. The disease or ailment fading as the cloth deteriorated. There is one near my home in Culloden woods near Inverness and another on the Black Isle, just north. In Scotland, they’re called Clouttie trees (cloth trees).
Thank you for watching and sharing a little more information with us Robert!
Very cool place. Very interesting
Thanks again for watching Sandy!
@@RhettyforHistory Hey Reht forgot love those candies from the 70s. Ate a lot of that on the way to Huntington Beach. Thanks for the memories
Rhetty, you can tell you are are a flat lander, like me…. Heavy breathing in the altitude and thinner air…. The whole time I was thinking was being a pall bearer , carrying a heavy casket up that mountain….. and…. Digging a grave in that high altitude….. don’t you know that would have been a hard job…. SO Doc was in Denison, Texas, my neck of the woods…. Great video, thanks for posting!
Yeah there is no way that would have been easy. I know they are acclimated to it all but still no easy task. I wonder if he was buried down lower since it would have been colder. We may never have answers on that. Thank you for watching!
Wow wonderful
nice place I been their a few times love the place. I used to work in gleenwood spring's.
Love your history bro
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Wow! I’m super surprised that Coors can is still there after all that time.
I think someone has maybe found the can somewhere and placed it there recently. The monument that is there is fairly new. He has had at least three different ones as you can see towards the end of the video. I always love seeing what is left for these old west figures. Thank you for watching!
Been there, nice location, worth the walk.
Yes it is. Thank you for watching bristlecone!
Very nice content. Great history
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
From what I can find out with the ribbons in the tree it’s called Annie's Wishing Tree. I guess it’s got its own Facebook page too, it’s a tree that you would write a prayer or best wishes for somebody who’s going through a tough time originally started I guess with somebody beating cancer? so they write what they’re grateful about or best wishes for someone and tie it to that tree, and it’s become such a big thing for the past 2+ years that they have allowed it to continue as long as it’s respectful. I guess Indians around the area used to do the same thing but for loved ones or if they were going through a difficult time maybe within the tribe or crops weren’t growing very well that year.
Very interesting. Thank you for watching and telling us about the tree!
Thank God I didn't travel there to see Doc's grave just to find out he ain't there, what a hike.
They’ve renamed the cemetery, it was called Mt Moriah for 200 years
It's a Native American prayer tree. You'll find a tree like it on other Tribal Rezervations. You'll find one on the Pine Ridge Rez. up near scenic 5 of "white mountain" too.
I agree with the other comment in Mongolia and some other places they are called prayer cloths they put them on shrines
Thank you for watching and giving us a little more insight into what that was we were seeing.
I lived in Glenwood springs Colorado. I have been to his grave several times back in the early 80s. I was told by people living there that he is not buried there. I was told he is buried in a basement Blake avenue. Cannot confirm or deny that. I was also told that the people that had the people also said the people that owned the house knows supposedly he is buried.there.. I did research on the history of the houses on Blake avenue. I believe if this is true he lived within three blocks where I lived on Blake avenue. Don't know if this is the case this is what some people said.
I remember in 1999 walking that hill in the summer , I'm from Oklahoma and I was staying in town in a rv park working. I don't remember that fence 🤔 but that's been awhile. I do remember cards all over his grave
It's pretty country up thru there but coming from Oklahoma myself I'm not used to that kind of climb. Thank you for watching!
Those bands are falling native soldiers.. appreciate you even being there and exposing it
Thanks for watching Jay!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching Joey!
LOL I love that Docs grave looks like the Daedric shrine of Lord Sanguine. got some moneys some cards some beer.
