We have visited and prowled the town of Mogollon for over 30 years visiting and speaking with several of the residents. Cooney's tomb was a bit hard to find as when he was killed by the Apaches, his fellow miners blasted a hole out of a giant granite boulder; the entrance was sealed with ore from Cooney's own mine. The boulder has a cross in the top of it.
Cool video, some nice history of the area, I have had this mining town and area pinned on my map for a while now, and I want to go there the next time I am in New Mexico. Thanks for sharing.
And once again, another fine episode with wonderful history. Thank you so much. All of your episodes bring back such good memories of my ghost town adventures. You always do such a great job and I appreciate you and all your episodes and all your hard work and investigating the history of these wonderful places. .
I'm pretty sure I saw this town on another channel last year, very cool town. Would be cool to some portraits here; maybe some with people in period clothing.
I just love this channel. You present the history very well. Plus, I enjoy seeing the old towns. Ive visited a number of ghost towns during my life time. I used to take my children to them and let them wander and wonder. Good times.
My wife and I went there in 2011 . There is or was a little bar and grill called the Purple Onion . There is a Purple Onion that's a famous land mark in Westfield MA . also ! I took a picture of the one Mogollon and when I got back to MA. I gave it them ! They thought that was kind of neat !
there was a guy and his wife that lived in Mogollon in 1970s who was a baker from back east. he developed lung issues and moved out west. he brought his oven and other small bakery items. after a while he was getting better in the dry climate and decided to open a bakery in his detached garage. only open a couple of hours several days a week. i used to live in near by Silver City and go there to buy pastry's and bread great eating.

Hello this had to be one of the unluckiest towns I've heard of you showed and talked in deep nice adventure ⛏️🇺🇸 thank you 🎩
I've been looking for the town of Maverick, New Mexico. It's where my grandparents were married around 1910.
Any illegals come your way? Lord have mercy at the mess down there. Love what you do buddy.
