Переглядів 9943 місяці тому
Before the bustling city of Reno emerged, there were two pivotal settlements: Fullers Crossing and Lakes Crossing. From 1858 to 1868, these humble crossings played a crucial role in the region's development, setting the stage for the arrival of the railroad and the birth of Reno. In this part, one of what will be a four-part series, we dive into the rise and fall of Fuller’d Crossing. Learn the...

That was excellent! Music, research and historic maps was well presented. Thanks.
@@snurb48 thank you, I really strive to use music to help tell the story, so i really appreciate your comment. ❤️
Cool video!
@@nevadaminer5977 thank you
@@mapadventures most welcome
Now I know who Wedekind Road is named after. Thanks! 🤓
great swimming hole right there.......especially since lake tahoenow holds back flow to stay 100% full.
@@rccalhoun right by the stairs under the freeway!
Remember the "Last Chance" Coffee Shop and gas station.
@@danielmacpherson1630 That’s right, I totally forgot about that place. My mom used to stop there in our way back to California when I was a kid.
Hot acid underground -- explains why so few trees grow in Wedekind Park today.
@@Pthommie I didn’t put the two together, makes perfect sense.
@@mapadventures I too was surprised because I thought that only happened a distance away from Reno/Sparks, say around Gerlach.
Another great video. I love the work you put into finding the hidden history. I live up here in Susanville, CA. We got alot of interesting history as well.
@@TheObsessiveGardener thank you. I’ve actually been doing some research on Susanville area more so honey Lake and Janesville previously Toadtown or toadsville
@mapadventures oh really? You should do some in depth research on the last hangings in Susanville. Mexican Ben and Holden Dick (I think it must be a nickname lol) very interesting story. It should be a movie.
@@TheObsessiveGardener now I totally will! 🤗
Mojave, Mo Problems. Thanks for the delightful romp.
@@Hazmatt4700 thank you for watching 🗺️💙
As a local, I appreciate this video and all your research! Despite the over development as of the past few years, Verdi still holds remnants of the charming little town that time forgot.
@@michelewelch3712 thank you, and I agree, it’s still a cute, quiet place to live. We love going there for burgers at Sasquatch.
You didn’t pack any ointment with you? In a first aid kit? Lol. I hope you guys are feeling alright. Nice work! At least it’s wasn’t poison oak! Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining funny you should mention that. After this, I now pack a first aid kit lol
@@mapadventures Awesome! Stay safe out there! Keep up the amazing work! Take care.
Love it! Keep up the good work!
@@ChristianChazButler thank you
Living in Verdi I have been by there many times. I never saw the town. The history is very interesting.
@@MartinMike-po3fb There isn’t much of a town left. I-80 took out where the plant used to be and many of the buildings. Many of the old company houses are still there mixed in with some more modern ones.
I love beer & our local history. IMO your best work! I knew about the ice from Verdi. Thank you
@@mountainmover9141 me too 💙
sivoir
Middle of the 40 mile desert? That station is 100 yards off the highway lol
@@justinjacobson7555 I as using the word middle loosely lol
Great video! I’m a new subscriber! I’m glad I discovered your channel. I love Nevada and mining history. Thank you. Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I’m working on a few more as we speak 💙
Love your work
@@mountainmover9141 thank you 😊
Super interesting! Binge watching your channel. Now I want to go explore!
@@Mrsjones988 thank you, I’m glad you like it ❤️ I wish I could put them out more regularly but I work on them as I can, I truly enjoy making the videos and doing all the research
Thank you for all your work.
@@ontheroadrvstyle2565 thank you for watching it 🤗
Hands down, IMO your best work. I've driven past that exit... many times. Thank you, I know it's history.
@@mountainmover9141 I found this one so much more interesting than I thought I would. I had no idea until I started researching it. I wish I could put everything in all the videos but they would be too long (and apparently no one other than myself will watch a documentary over 10 minutes lol)
good stuff..subbed!
@@JoeK4444 thank you
Assay Office. Not essay.
🎥 This Host really reminds me of 'Claire Trevor", Professionally Trained and Educated Actress of early Hollywood, ("Stagecoach", a Classic, Starring: John Wayne and Claire Trevor, Director: John Ford), ("Desperado", Starring: Randolph Scott, Glenn Ford, Claire Trevor), one of my personal favorites for her skill and poise. I recommend both movies, "Desperados" is one of my all time favorite Westerns. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian PS: Subb'd to support your Channel's History Works, # 715.
That Postcard is Priceless. Wedekind, Nevada ... "They had a "ore House"! ... Way back then. Imagine what happened in the 1800's in Nevada that no one knows about. .
@@bethbartlett5692 Nevada has such a wild and rich history it would have been awesome to witness it back then
Great episode, look forward to more.
@@mountainmover9141 thank you, I’m glad you liked it
Mark Twains first story ever was "Stone man of Northern Nevada" take place in Humbolt City.
Live in Verdi and knew very little of this. Thank You and God Bless you Harmony!
@@WilliamFiler I’m glad you liked it. Just doing my part to keep history alive ❤️
West Shore Best Shore, my work hole.
@@WilliamFiler ❤️
Excellent! How do we get ahold of you?
@@WilliamFiler my email is harmonyheywood@gmail.com
Same thing happened to my Great Granddads town on Van Wyck Idaho. Railroad came through started a new town a mile away and then they made plans to flood the Payette river and flood Van Wyck and other towns. The flooding wasn't completed until the 1950's but the town of Van Wyck was moved or shutdown around the 1930's. My Gandma and Grandad moved to Paradise CA and became largest employers in the town.
@@WilliamFiler It’s crazy how often that happened. The railroad could make you or break you.
WE HAD A WICKES LUMBER YARD HERE IN BOULDER COLORADO FOR YEARS I DON'T THINK IT WAS SPELL THE SPEECH TO TEXT DOES WE ALSO HAD A SUTHERLANDS LUMBER AND SEVERAL OTHERS
Great documentary can you do one of Georgetown?
@@fortnoxz71 thank you 😊Georgetown is such a cool old town it is definitely on my list
@jellyroll
Lahontan Reservoir.....( The Correct Spelling....? ) you didn't take very good english classes, in school, eh /......?
@@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.
Cool place for sure. Just SW of there is ruins of Williams Station that played a significant role in the pyramid war. Only able to visit when lahontan reservoir is low.
@@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. ❤️
Gonna waste this song on some bullshit old time cemetery.... stupid
@@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
1857 was a very cold winter. The US Army became stuck at Ft Bridger in late Oct and couldn't march into Salt Lake until June 1858. Most the cattle and horses froze.
@@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.
Good video
@@venom12o79 thank you
Incredible I can't believe I stumbled upon this video, lived here my whole life and only knew a little bit of the story. You did a great job putting all that info in one place mad respect💯👏🤟
@@mattschultz5036 thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
Excellent research and presentation, as per usual.
@@spazzrock1 thank you, I work really hard on them.
Well done, yet again.
@@spazzrock1 thank you 😊
I'm fairly new to the area and am a history nerd, thank you for the informative video!
@@slappynixon you’re welcome. It’s my pleasure to make them.
Informative video! The Buster Keaton footage was a funny touch.
@@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!
Lived in Tahoe for 30 years. I never knew any of this! You did a great job. Interesting research! Thank you! Subscribed 👍
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 💙
I watched this again! what a fun time!
It’s always a fun time with you behind the camera!
I am a native Reno resident and love your videos! They are interesting, historically educational, and very well done.
Thank you, I’m glad you like them 💙
Brilliant and well researched! Love your content!
I work really hard on the research phase, I’m glad you liked it.
Don't fear! I see No Red Shirt.
Wonderful presentation! So Lake Street was named after Charles Lake? I though it had to do with Virginia Lake.
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 🤓
