"A Murder A Week" - The History Of Cerro Gordo, California
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Cerro Gordo was once California's largest producer of silver. The town produced nearly $500 million of minerals during it's heyday. It was also a lawless town. During it's peak, the town averaged a murder per week and a local judge described the population as "lawless ruffians who with murder in their hearts and the implements of death strapped upon their persons, congregate in public places, ever ready to discharge their death-dealing weapons upon the unoffending and unarmed citizens."
Even so, Cerro Gordo was an important town in the American West. The prosperity of the town contributed to Los Angeles's early development.
This video is a brief overview of the town's past, present, and future.

Brief History:
Cerro Gordo was first established as a mining town in 1865 by Pablo Flores and several companions. The first large-scale mining operation was set up in 1866 by Jose Ochoa, who was extracting about 1.5 tons of ore every 12 hours. At the time, silver ore sold for about $300 a ton. The quality and quantity of ore that Cerro Gordo produced attracted a lot of interest statewide including merchant Victor Beaudry, who thought Cerro Gordo has the potential to be far more than a typical mining town. Beaudry opened the first general store in Cerro Gordo in 1866.
In 1868, Beaudry teamed up with Mortimer Belshaw to expand the mining operations in Cerro Gordo. The same year Belshaw brought the first load of Cerro Gordo silver to Los Angeles. There he pitched Egbert Judson, president of the California Paper Company on the potential of Cerro Gordo. Judson was impressed by the pitch and the ore that Belshaw brought to LA and agreed to finance the Cerro Gordo operations. The trio formed the Union Mining Company.
Armed with the finances, Cerro Gordo started an era of unequalled prosperity in 1868. The mine started regularly sending silver bullion to Los Angeles in December of that year. Each ingot was 18 inches long, weighed approximately 85 pounds, and depending on the silver content worth $20-$25. By the end of 1869, more than 340 tons of bullion has been pulled from Cerro Gordo and transported to Los Angeles. Cerro Gordo silver became the most common silver in Los Angeles, proudly displayed at the best hotels and banks, as well as many of the businesses along Main and Spring Streets.
In 1869, The Los Angeles Times praised Cerro Gordo for helping expand Los Angeles and outlined the city's dependence on the mine, "What Los Angeles is, is mainly due to it. It is the silver cord that binds our present existence. Should it be uncomfortably severed, we would inevitably collapse."
The rapid expansion of Cerro Gordo's mining operation meant the rapid expansion of the town. By 1869, just three years year after operations began, the town's population had increased to 1,500.
In 1871 the two-story American Hotel was completed (which still stands today), as well as other permanent structures.
The silver output had expanded to five tons per day by 1871. In 1874 Cerro Gordo delivered more than $2,000,000 worth of bullion to Los Angeles.
By 1874, 3,400 tons of supplies were shipped into Cerro Gordo annually to support the town's population eventually grew to more than 4,500.
In the coming years, the price of silver plummeted and a lot of the mining operations were shut down or moved to different towns. By 1888, the town was all but abandoned, with only 30-40 people still living there.
In 1905, the property was purchased by the Great Western Ore company. The company had created a new smelting device designed to extract zinc and silver at a cheaper price. The success of the company brought a new wave of activity and prosperity to Cerro Gordo. The town again grew to a few hundred residents as they mined silver, zinc, and limestone.
'From this Mountain' was written by my father and his good friend, Robert Likes. I grew up with the stories of Cerro Gordo. Thank you for featuring their work.
That's so cool
You should reach out to him and share some of them!
Hopefully Brent @ghost town living will see this

Love your content.
Maybe find some Bones?
Hey Brent how’s it going?
Been to Cerro Gordo Springs yet?
Keep doing what you’re doing. Loved last week’s video!
As an Asian American it’s refreshing to see early Asian American history recognized and affirmed. Particularly in frontier/western American history. Thank you for speaking up about the presence and importance of the Chinese miners in Cerro Gordo’s history! Big fan of the channel already - this definitely cements my support for the great historical work you’re doing.
It would be amazing if he could rebuild the China Town!
Would also love to hear more about the history of Asian Americans in this town!
Asians were big contributors to the development of California..
A japanese containment camp is not too far down the road as well.
@@lorriecrow7872 Sure, as indentured servants, trapped here by financial bondage and threats against their families back home without any legal protections or even recognized as citizens much less people.
I was up at Cerro Gordo in 1980 as a side trip to doing geologic studies in Darwin. I met Jodi and she was the most gracious women. I dont remember much about the trip but I never forgot Jodi and her hospitality. You would have loved her. Just a fresh, straightforward and enjoyable woman. May she rest in peace.
Would like to come back soon.
Thanks for the memories.
That's really cool that you met her.
I am a French guy I have 21 years old
I don’t speak English very well.
But know that if one day you need someone to help you for 2 or 6 month that’s something I’d really want to do,
The history of this town is incredibly interesting and I am in love with all your work and what you’re doing here.
Je te souhaite une excellente continuation, et je continuerais à suivre ton histoire.
Thanks for your work.
Brent seems such a genuinely nice man,so glad i found this channel.
Me too!

I think Jody would be pleased that you have the place now buddy.
I hope so!
Love this comment, I think she means a lot to him and I agree with your comment!
Is buddy a diminutive?
@@kjohn5224 it is not
@@LUISga55555 I mean... sometimes
Video idea: if possible you should try to reconnect with past caretakers children or grandchildren that would be so cool!
Really cool idea!
That’s so smart!
Great idea
And invite those to the Hotel opening next year.
Yes please this! What a great idea!
Brent, I just want to say that I admire your efforts in keeping the history alive in Cerro Gordo. My Father was a Geologist who visited there quite often back in the 1990's when he was investigating fault lines in Owens Valley. He was a friend of Jody's and when I was about 15 years old I used to stay up there with him sometimes. Jody was a great lady and so full of life. I feel very fortunate to have met her. I remember staying in the bunkhouse a couple times and my friend and I got to stay in the American Hotel all by ourselves for a night. Needless to say, we had some interesting experiences while staying there. Even though I am 40 years old now, I still recall having some great memories from my childhood there, and I hope all goes well with your ventures in preserving the town.
great to hear you mention and pay respect to the Indigenous peoples of the lands Cerro Gordo rest on. i had commented on other videos wondering about that, so thanks!
We agree. This beats being a doctor, lawyer or banker for sure. We'd love to enjoy the silence up there. And the big sky. Take care from two UK subscribers.
And another (Scotland)
And 1 more from England too
Add another
One from Canada, I would love to help and build something for you one day. Thanks for keeping history alive and sharing with the world!!!
Also in the UK.
An idea - create an area just for star-gazers. Large pad with a compass-rose so they can set-up telescopes. There is one at the national park campground at mount palomar that's always in use.
Thats A Great Idea !!
Wow!!! Great idea!!!
With pretty much zero light polution, it would be a perfect place to stargaze
A great way to observe our flat stationary plane we live in. Great idea
I agree, great idea.

Haha, mir geht's auch so. Prost! :D
This channel is better than anything you could ever find on Netflix or any other mainstream produced documentary.
Consider developing swells around your area using rocks locally. When it rains/snows it can help concentrate moisture and retain it in the soil. Just a thought.
I was thinking something similar. With all that snow that you get there, surely your could build your own lake up there and use it for the town water supply!? Just a thought! Love your videos and content. I wish you the best of luck from Australia. 🤗🙂
@@margaretkeay97 I've thought the same thing, rain/snow water catchment but saw a UA-cam video of the old caretaker giving a tour and he said the dust that comes off the dry Owens lake bed contains arsenic so that isn't an option. The ground water likely contains lead and other contaminates which may be why a previous owner got cancer and died at a young aged late 50's I believe. They thought she may have got cancer from the water.

Yup
Completely agree!!
I agree
well we all have chances everyday, social media will make things look normal which are not, most is fake too, set ur goals on a paper and try reach them in 5 years
As a child of the West, a former carpenter, and, now, former History teacher, I find this channel delightful in many ways. I look forward to your progress on the American Hotel.
who else wants to spend a week at Cerro Gordo?
old lady. but if I make it another year through all this mess, would love to go to california, meet up with my grandson and stay at the newly constructed hotel for a few nights. haha, sit around a camp fire while someone strummed a guitar quietly in the background listening to tales of the town. rooster wake you in the morning.

just be sure to bring supplies, including drinking water. aside from that, seems like a cool place to escape from the rat race. ., but theres probably lots of mice lol. :D
6 days... just to be safe.
@@TheDanm22 heh... good one.
Thank you for preserving a huge piece of history, so much is being destroyed, lost, or forgotten about when it comes to history. History is what gives future generations truth, love, meaning, and a way of guidance. Again thank you, hope to someday make it out thier to see everything.
I’m so glad that a man with this much passion and integrity bought such a historic town. Could have been a massive development company that just paved over it. The town is now a credit to you!
It's quite ironic that Cerro Gordo made Los Angeles what it is, just to have LA return the favour by taking all the water.
Los Angeles is a bitch like that. Cerro Gordo is fortunate that Los Angeles can't write parking tickets up there.
@@fraterfraxinus6293 Los Angeles is literally lucky to survive
Resources were given from all the towns inland and they take the most important thing, water
Los Angeles is a parasite, its sucks the life out the surrounding area and gives nothing but garbage in return.
LA doing what LA does best, suck the life out of everything and destroying whatever is unfortunate to touch it. Cerro Gordo is beautiful, however.
@@d.ag.b1135 Got that right, Now a days it's becoming a communist State.
Hopefully they all get "Ridden out of town or Hung"
I really admire the way you jumped into the deep and decided to make this town relevant again Brent.
Out of all the people that could have purchased Cerro Gordo, I'm glad it was you. Someone with such pure passion for history and discovery. Thank you for creating this channel and taking us on the journey with you.
I hate to be that guy, but under his supervision, the most important piece of history in that town was burned down. A building that was standing for over a hundred years was destroyed within a few months of this dude gaining ownership of it.
@@originalname6367 Considering how it burnt it would have happened no matter the owner.
I am such a history nerd that I absolutely adored this video. Thank you for being so interested in this side of Cerro Gordo. I have been loving learning about it.
I noticed you talking about the silver wagons. If you are interested, there is a UA-cam channel Called Engles coach shop. He specializes in historical wagons, coaches, etc. he has made full reconstructions of the Death Valley wagons for Death Valley.
At least you've documented the hotel before the fire nation attacked
oml💀
Lmao gave me a good chuckle
burn the fire nation to the ground!!!
wait......
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!!!!

This channel has been a great escape for me during Covid. The history, buildings, and exploration are all wonderful things to think about instead of polarized America. If this channel has helped you, leave a reply or comment. And Keep up the great work Brent!
If camping was available, I’d show up there right after Christmas. I have a Jeep and a four season tent, and I think that would be awesome.
Camping leads to littering, and careless people that don’t pick up after themselves
@@thinbluelinepics5688 what do you think happens in hotels?
He probably would love some company and some help. Email him
@@thinbluelinepics5688 That’s why genuine campers express it so much. Here in South Australia we have a last minute combing of the camping area called an EMU BOB.
Very fitting.
Did you see in his latest vlog where he talks about an area close by that has trees and grass? He wants to have camping and maybe cabins.
Great job telling the story of Cerro Gordo. I live in Los Angeles County and have been there many times over the years going back to the early 1990's. Our camping group used to camp at Conglomerate Mesa and come up from the back side through the Saline Valley. I've also been up from the front side and from the Swansea to Cerro Gordo Trail. In the early years Jody guided us (I have pictures of my friend in the operators chair of the hoist.) In the later years we were guided by Mike and then by Robert the last few times. Last time there was just before you guys bought it. It's a shame about the hotel, hope you can bring it back to it's former glory!
Man, your videos just make me feel so calm and happy when I watch them. It's a much needed feeling these days. Just wanna say thanks, your dedication is obvious, and it's super inspiring. Much love
You are telling stories I never thought would see the light of day on UA-cam. This is just amazing, it's so interesting.
This is my favorite Cerro Gordo video so far.
I used to work at a museum and I was always digging through the archives to uncover some history that may not be significant to the general public, but it was so interesting to me.
oh, man, if i was only in my 30's again ... watching this and listening to you, i would BEG you to let me come live there ... i could help in a garden, with hotel hospitality, make my stained glass windows, perhaps develop nature program for children to partake .... but i am old now & perhaps my usefulness has waned .... so i just sit here in idaho and daydream ... great channel & series, have enjoyed it all ... thank you, young man!

Found you on UA-cam while searching for Old West stuff..Addicted mate..Love what you do..Hello from Australia 🇦🇺
The ghost in the bunkhouse is Jody. She's still taking care of things for you.
You should metal detect around those houses. I bet you find 1800’s coins.
I’m sure someone has already scoured the premises for coins with metal detectors
But still would be fun if he would allow it. But he owns everything on and in the place.
@@stephenzwemer2905 that’s why he should do it to add to the museum.

Holy shit I live on a street called Avenue Victor Beaudry in Québec, didn't know he was the general store owner of Cerro Gordo!!

You bought your beautiful Cerro Gordo on my birthday, July 13th. I just want to say that you're a true inspiration! I love your videos, your great attitude, calm good nature and your passion for your gem of a ghost town. You are a wonderful historian & motivational speaker and you're my go-to YT channel when I'm feeling stressed... you're that good at what you do! Keep up the good works, I'm hooked on your journey sir. Thank you for all you do for those of us who need a level headed voice of reason in these trying times. Peace & God bless my friend, and a very merry Christmas to you & the kittens! 👼🎄📯
Oh wow, thank you! I really appreciate that. I'll keep making these. Merry Christmas to you too
I love the acknowledgement of the Native American community on the land.
Brent, you are an inspiration. I am a history buff and believe very strongly in the preservation and protection of our history. I am renovating an old house in Salt Lake City. She was built about the time of the first boom of Cerro Gordo in 1875. I will see you there in Cerro Gordo some day.
As an anthropologist who especially loves history, thank you so much for making this (and every) video! My husband & I watch weekly from Northern Cali, we hope to visit in the future. Love buying Cerro Gordo merch cause we know it's supporting such an amazing cause & the materials are high quality! Wishing you/the kitties a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year as well :)
It's weird how a town goes from 4000 inhabitants to 1 like this. Hopefully the town will be a bit livelier in the future.
Not gonna happen. Its just barren desert land all around there with nothing but history.
@@liutasllc6338 well it’s never going to be a mining town again but hopefully there will be a fair amount of tourists that make it more lively.
@@coraldiamond1922 I am sure with his YT following he'll get some tourists come through just to meet him. So sure it will be more lively. Its just entire west is littered with abandoned mines and many of those remote desert areas aren't much of tourist attraction areas. This place will never be what it once was or have same significance to the region, its about this channel and a guys dream now.
We had a town go from around 2000 down to 4, now a new avacado farm, dams and a highway have gone out there and it's back up to over 500 now and growing. It's amazing how things can change hey
Cerro Gordo is lucky to have you dude. Love the content, been watching for the past few month. Hopefully I can visit one day with my family. All the best from the UK.
A lot of good stories Brent. You must be beaming, being around all that History. Thanks!
I'd love to see a video showcasing the coolest artifacts you have there. The collections have been glossed over, but a deeper dive would be sweet!

id find some lake "exploring" also very fascinating, maybe there is some interesting stuff still downthere from the time
Supposedly there is a boatload (literally of silver in the lake). A steamer containing Cerro Gordo silver sank when it was a lake and nobody has found it since...
Yup. Magnet 🧲 fishing and metal detector
@@GhostTownLiving dude, I bet if you dug a bit in the dry lake bed you would find some amazing fossils

I'm really curious what happened to Pablo Flores, was he murdered for the land?
he became Pablo Escobar and the Federali's got him in the 80's......
wait.....
😈
JK, so JK lolz
My guess is that he sold out when offered enough money. A lot of people who discovered famous ore bodies sold out before the mines became famous
@@liamroggenkamp probably. This happened with the comstock lode. Over nearly 20 years they pulled out hundreds of billions of dollars worth of gold but mostly silver. The original claim owners sold out for what was considered to be obscene profits at the time. Selling early was fairly common, since you could quit while you were ahead. It wasnt till later they realized just how big the deposit was.
@@everythingsalright1121 Same thing happened at the famous Empire Mine. Original discoverer sold the claim before it made the huge amounts of money it did.
The most funny thing to me is that up the street from me is Cerro Gordo St in echo park, Los Angeles!!
Same! I was just driving in the area and noticed I was in Cerro Gordo street!
You should sell all those books in your future stores for everyone to get when they visit
History is rarely something to be proud of. Yet its important to remember it and learn from it! Thanks for the videos!
These videos make me feel like I’m there I really enjoy watching them
There is an old legend told of a boat filled with silver that sunk in the owens lake.
It would have been Silver Ore, unlike Gold, silver needs to be refined from Iron, copper, zinc, malachite, just to name a few, I have a 10 lbs chunk of Silver Ore from mountains close by, it contains about 60% to 70% silver.. but with Silver being roughly $25 an ounce there is no money to be made from Silver Ore anymore.
Very interesting and put together well. I enjoyed this history lesson. Thank you! I hope all of your dreams come to fruition!😊🙏
I just started watching your videos, and I find myself binging daily. I love the history lessons and the fact that you don't gloss over the unsavory. My husband and I were exploring historic cemeteries in Idaho, and one thing that was consistent was the separation of the Chinese gravesites from all the rest.
Mister, you continue to keep it so real and quite fascinating for us who are following your adventure. You narrate so very wonderfully your passion for what you are doing. Mucho Gracious.
Hey Brent! Watching this made me fall even more in love with the place! Love the work your doing.
