Y'all did an outstanding docuseries. Thank You for humanizing and empathizing. So much history and so little time to absorb and comprehend. Such is life. Very fascinating, money and affluence makes life way harder. I'm a Supervisor, and have managed a hundred people max. I can't imagine the feeling of responsibility for so many lives with a large corporation. No wonder some are so callous, while others are more personable. Success is anxiety to the conscionable man.
What an interesting story, thank you for sharing it. I was just heartbroken by the tragedy in the Lemp family, but it was heartwarming to see the Vahlkamp family go on and prosper. So glad they could share so many pictures with you, what a treasure!!!
Incredible story, told in a fascinating way! I've never even been to St. Louis (that I can remember), but was moved by the wonderful storytelling. Thank you!
So sorry I didn’t get to be here during the premiere. Spent the whole day with family, but I am watching the rerun. The 18th is coming soon, looking forward to it.
Man that was a great story ! I'm hooked ! You guys did a great job of displaying it visibly and emotionaly ! Except I started on episode 3 🤦♂️! I liked the cocktail scene and the old-school typewriter in the background typing ! Great stuff guys , I look forward to checking out your other videos !
@@MansardStudios Let us know if you can get Frank Campaletta to agree to another showing. Not certain of film makers name and spelling but its close. Thank you!
Just came to watch this. I only wonder now, was that Vahlkamp's voice or did you hire or know someone with German heritage to read it out (I tend to believe the second one more right now)
The mansion never connected to the cave. There was a utility tunnel for hot water pipes that heated the home up til the brewery was sold. The tunnel was later sealed off. The section of cave that runs beneath the mansion was artificially mined after the suicides occurred in the mid 1940’s by Lee Hess for the commercial attraction known as Cherokee Cave which closed in 1961. 18:35
Well done historical expose’ on these two families. Wow. “Dark turn” for the Lemp family indeed. What arrogance and folly to think you can end suffering by suicide. Yikes.
Excellent job on this Matt & Nicki.
Amazing!!!! I love the history, very well told

Such a complex, complicated and tragic story of the Lemp family, thoroughly research and retold with sensitivity.
Very interesting-Thank you
So very interesting, and well done! Thanks Matt and Nicki. Will keep in touch.
I’ve always been intrigued by the Lemp family… only just now learning of Henry Valkemp. Thank you for a fascinating piece of STL history!
Thank you for sharing the story, and the tour around town. It was all very interesting.
So much history of my home town that I never knew. Thank you!

Film called "Lemps last Wright" have not seen it yet? Could you post the movie on here please?!?!?
We don't own the rights to that so we can't post it on our channel unfortunately, but you have given us something to see if we can find.

Great documentary, keep up the good work!
where i live in the most eastern part of st.clair county they pronounce it Vahlcamp but spelled Vahlkamp
Just came to watch this. I only wonder now, was that Vahlkamp's voice or did you hire or know someone with German heritage to read it out (I tend to believe the second one more right now)
We hired someone as a voice actor specifically from the region in Germany Vahlkamp was from.
