    I can say without a doubt that I've learned more about History from watching your channel than I ever had with 12 yrs. of Schooling.I thoroughly enjoy History Hunters and could listen to you Jeff forever.Thank You and Sarah for all you do to educate us..

    So very interesting. I did not know General Pershing had suffered such a horrible tragedy. The human stories found in cemeteries are amazing! Thank you for bringing us those stories.

    • @jbenziggy

      I can’t imagine the horrific pain of losing just about everyone in your family. I don’t know how he was able to function let alone win a war!

    Fabulous Jeff and Sarah! Hard to believe we know nothing about history after see things we were never taught or even imagine. What a great thing you two are teaching all of us. Even PH-Ds have to study these amazing findings all of their lives to learn just a fraction of what is in those cemeteries. Keep it going Jeff and Sarah and we will keep watching and learning.

    Thank you Jeff. The history you bring to us is very entertaining. When I'm in a cement, I look at the markers and wondering who those people were, what they did in life, and how they died. You bring us answers to some questions of many people. I always look forward to your programs.

    Jeff a great video again as usual. Just a little side note on General Pershing. I met a family member of his many years ago in the 2000s, and they did not know that there was a high school in Detroit named Pershing High School. In Kansas city where the World War I museum is at Pershing came in 1920 to dedicate that museum. Another great episode about learning new history on Old topics. Thanks again for sharing, and really enjoy this video. If you ever come to Leavenworth Kansas, you can come to mount Muncie Cemetery and see where Fred Harvey founder of the Harvey restaurants and the first and only United States Supreme Court Justice; David Brewer from Kansas who lived here in Leavenworth. Thanks again Jeff for sharing.

    Secondly, is there a episode you want to do that you have been wanting to do for a long time? If so, can you elaborate on what it might be?
    Thank you for sharing/posting all these amazing videos.
    Also, tell Sarah I wish her a belated Happy Birthday.

    Great video Jeff. I know that like me, you reside in California. I was wondering, when you take trips to places like the Dakotas and Wyoming, do you just find them to be much more peaceful and less messed up places than California? Find yourself wondering why you still live in California? I sure do.

    • @d.l.l.6578

    husband speaking - after watching your clips for the past few years, if I was young enough to travel around again - I would definitely be stoping
    at the cemeteries for some real history. I have a patch on my American Legion jacket - of KILROY. and the statement - A HERO WAS HERE. No
    young person under age 60 has yet to know who he was. I still believe that after 2 generations, you are forgotten. what is said on your marker is all that is left.

    Hi Jeff and Sarah! As always, we love your presentation of history. Plus, you were showing us history near our area! Well done! Next time we zip up to Cheyenne, we can check it out in person. We left the Central Valley 13 years ago, and while we have checked out a lot of the history out here, your videos always give us new areas to explore. Besides all the work you guys did on your trip, hope you had fun exploring too.

Fort Phil Kearney is a great place to visit. Within a few miles of the fort or two major battles of the Indian wars: The Fetterman Fight and the Wagon box Fight.

    There was a huge stone for a marker in the background... I was hoping to see it up close. Wyoming was a state that many of my ancestor's lived in, but only briefly, on their hundred years long trip to the west. Somewhere in that same graveyard several of the young cousins lie. It is nice to see it well kept.
