Date of Adventure: 10/9/20
While exploring an abandoned mining camp way up in the mountains of Nevada, I found the walls of the biggest house to be papered with REALLY OLD newspaper, and beautiful Gibson Girl pin-ups from the very early 1900s. But what year were the papers from? That detail was nowhere to be found...so when I got home, I did some research and figured it out! Try and solve the mystery yourself before watching the end!

the tin sheets are actually roller plates for printing presses.
If that was the case wouldn't be backwards
Wow, you have a very analytical mind too! Thanks for video!
I worked at a newspaper company and you are exactly right Jonathan
I came here to speculate that, glad you already knew.
Those are plates for printing. Some guy's I worked for would use those to roof there out building's.
Used to look forward to Fridays, now retired, I look towards
Wonderhussy Wednesdays!
Wooooo Whooooo!
What a mind blowing finish with your picture on the wall at the end. It zoomed me into the cabin September 1906, and how melancholy it made me feel standing there, just thinking about never being able to meet the Lady on my wall. It was going to be a frigid winter. You all did well with dating the newspapers!
6:40 "Oakland's thousands give greeting to Gillett" was an article from Sept 23rd 1906 San Fransisco Chronicle
There was a 1911 next to the Civil War article
The Great SF earthquake was April 18, 1906...
one of the photos has a copyright of 1901
@@olivei2484 That was not a date. I saw it too.
@@carpdude73 Yeah The context around that 1911 would have to be investigated. Like: Get your new 1911 calenders now!
Newspaper was from 1906. Wonderhussy concocts another great backstory about their ghost town cabin life. Finds out
when the paper was from and shows us as a Gibson Girl too. Nice!
I've seen layers of wallpaper in old farm houses a half inch thick. Those metal plates are printing plates. I saw a roof made of that stuff once.
My grandmother said way back in the day, some packaging had images or patterns printed on the inside , to be used for decoration or wallpaper...some cloth bags had patterns, meant to be made into clothes.
That's very interesting
I love hearing all of your theories about who lived in these places and what they were like 🤔☺️
A great presentation, as usual! Your knowledge of history and culture, eye for details, and imaginative storytelling makes your videos unique. Never stop being you.
I really love the mystery of the human experience, captured in a snapshot of historical times… Awesome segment!
This might help, September 20 falls on a Thursday in these years. 1900, 1906, 1917, 1923, 1928, 1934. My guess would be those papers are from the pre WWI years as the Russian, Japanese war was 1904-1906
It was 1906 based on the Esther Mitchell headline.
Good job Sleuth!
GOOD DETECTIVE WORK. SHE MISSED A TOP DATE LINE
You are a miner as well, digging for info , congratulations 1 /7/21
WonderHussy is amazing
Lol, I paused when the 'the messenger boy may be held for murder' & the two looting junkmen came up. San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday October 14, 1906. But still, you nailed the date pretty good when you where out there.
I looked up two junk men too! 🙂
Hey Wonder Hussy, great video and location.
That metal plate with the ads on it is an aluminum printing plate for a web offset printing press.
Used in newspaper printing, that sheet would have been a page of a newspaper.
They can only be used once so a lot of people used them for other things, it was probably over the windows or over a hole in the roof.
Sarah, you make a lovely Gibson Girl!
The Russo-Japanese war was in 1904-5. Teddy Roosevelt won the Nobel Prize for settling it. William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 - July 26, 1925) was an American orator and politician from Nebraska. Beginning in 1896, he emerged as a dominant force in the Democratic Party, running three times as the party's nominee for President of the United States in the 1896, 1900, and 1908 elections. His name is on the wallpaper. Great video!
William Jennings Bryan is the Cowardly Lion, Factory Workers the Tin Man(needing oil), Farmers are the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz(Oz as in ounces of gold and silver).
Its called Wattle and daub is a composite building method used for making walls and buildings, in which a woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw. Wattle and daub has been used for at least 6,000 years and is still used around the world today
Even here in the United States people are bulding new homes with this method.
Thank you
WH's summary analysis omits the likely presence of tents that were at least seasonally present.
Kansas City Weekly was 1869 to 1901.
The Kmart on the sheet was in Sparks at Oddie Boulevard and Sullivan Lane
The wallpaper with the vine leaves looks like a copy of William Morris style. Very popular in the Victorian and Edwardian age.
The Russo-Japanese war February 1904 to September 1905. This is so cool, needs to be in a museum
1906 is my guesstimate of when the mine camp of the three little bears started.... buildings were fantastic and thanks for sharing. Wonderhussy, please stay awesome. You always have so much that’s interesting.
Nice work identifying the date. Since it was 1906, people were moving out of the Bay Area because of the earthquake. Apparently, this dude decided to move to the middle of nowhere.
The shirt was called a body shirt. We wore them in the 70’s. They had snaps in the crotch so you could go potty. We wore them with hip hugger night bell jeans. Girls wore them with skirts and dresses not to show their panties while playing before they let them wear shorts under their dresses to school. Those adds definitely from the 70s
Sleuthy-hussy. Great cabin find.
I worked for a newspaper that used metal plates to print the newspaper. This is a easier than type setting the newspaper.
Wonderhussy, I subscribed to your channel when you had only around 13,000 people following you, you do a unique, and fun take on everything you cover. Screw the haters.
Don't pay any attention to haters girl they're just jealous
That building technique was used extensively in England during the time of William Shakespeare, so it is possible the miner came from Great Britain like my ancestors did in 1832.
It was also used in the desert area over 2,000 years ago.
That use of stripped tree branches as lath for the mud plaster is ingenious!
You sort of skipped over the headline that mentioned Theodore Bell being candidate for governor. He ran for governor 3 times, in 1906, 1910 and 1912. Of those years, September 20th fell on Thursday only in 1906.
Yup, printing plates...From the 1890s until World War I, the Gibson Girls set the standard for beauty, fashion, and manners! Love ya!!!
Another excellent Wonderhussy video. From the music choice to the videography, to the detective work, it's all great, but adding your picture to that spot was the best of all. Love it all!
Here's the deal. The family or what was left of them moved from San Fran because of the devastating Earth quake of April 1906. The wife and the kids had been killed when a wall came down on them. The husband was devastated at the loss of his loved ones. Moving to the area that you walked that day. Carrying with him, the pin ups from women he knew in his past. He never got the proper pictures of the wife and his young son that was left behind, with only a simple head stone to mark their final resting place, with the only pictures he could find of his dear departed wife.
Lonesome and no where else to go he figured he would make a new start, Digging holes in the country side looking for silver. They said was plenty left. Far away, from San Fransisco with a ache in his heart that never left him. One day past and the next day came searching, looking for the silver, that would make his life better or at least ease the pain. Going far away from his troubles of having his life left in scrabbles. Putting the wall paper up he thought to himself Julie would have liked that color.A touch of blue and white. I miss Julie. I speak to her every night. Goodnight Julie.
Thats all I got. ;-)
Beautiful story of the High lonesome...
Good grief What a shame
W.H. makes up a story, I just added my own. My History is correct for that time but the Story is a work of my imagination. Sorry if I miss lead anyone.
Good story.
@@danhooper6923 Thanks Dan!
Id say the pipe out of the ground was the first little mud dwelling they lived in while building the cabin! Nice vid!
It's interesting that all the pinups have been scratched out. Like someone was very mad at them.
Yes they did have newspapers during the Gold Rush. One was called the "Alta California."
Your cameo at the end was fabulous. Could make some interesting merch or pinups. Love your adventurous spirit and speculations. The house was an example of his and hers wallpaper. Or maybe he was expecting a mail order bride.
The “tin siding” you ran across with advertisements on it are actually printing plates that came off of cylinders that they use to print newspapers with. I figured I would help you out with that one since you figured out what year the newspapers on the interior walls of that one cabin were from for the rest of us. Wow! 1906! Great sleuthing, detective Wonderhussy! 😉
Great video, Lovely. Got to see how they got the mud mix to stick together to make a wall using the sticks similar to lath boards. Nice catching up with the news too(8-).
Clever little inclusion of the picture of you...with period correct top knot...talkin' on the gossip...er...telephone.(8-) Thanks a heap, Darlin' loved it.
I say the same thing , about how things were back then, still bad as now , just more media.
Blessings love your videos, greetings from big Island🏝🌊🌋💞
At 15:00, that's a printing plate.
Yes. I worked in printing and can verify that. Seems to be a newspaper connection here.
@@timthomas9296 22 years in the printing industry myself!
Hey Sarah, have you ever been to the Superstition Mountains in Arizona? I've been binge watching the "Mysteries of the Superstition Mountains" channel and it looks like your cup-o-tea. Cheers from Idaho. Gave ya a thumbs up as always.
Another awesome one...I was trying to google the ones you showed us too....I love finding places like that...
Not too many people getting out there and exploring anymore. Thanks for doing this.
Hello, wow that cabin looks cool. that’s some interesting buildings there in the middle of nowhere. beautiful back drop there. take care my friend
Hi this is a very interesting find thank you for the explore
Hey Sarah 1906 April earth quake in SF was in that year I was surprised you did not mention it Don in palo Alto calif
I just had coffee talk with Larry!
Now going with Sara Jane to explore!! Weeeeee
Are you the 1 who got so sick at mining cabin ? felt so bad for you
Lucky you, I can't wait for the video!
@@BillHaynal larry livestreams now fyi
@@pepsi6531 no that was a girl named jessica maybe?
@@pepsi6531 The girl who got sick was Wonderhussy's friend, Jessica.
Love your imagined histories. Sagebrush is purple when it blooms in the fall. The yellow is Rabbitbrush, used to make vegetable dyes by native Americans.
The nostalgic vibe quite the nice ending to a explore in history...
Those are plates for printing presses..ran them for 25 yrs..great for patching holes..
I was wondering if that was what they were, another mystery solved.
They did their best. My grandparents house from 1810 had unusual walls. But in new England, it was a very expensive house
To add a note about the tin sheet with ads on it - that was a plate for a newspaper press - e (can't remember the proper name for it lol - getting old). Used to work at a newspaper and would "fly the press" - taking the paste ups to the newspaper printer to be shot as a negative and used to make the print on the tin, which would be put on the press and run through ink to print each page'
I've missed you telling the stories of who lived in these old ghost towns. You're good at story tellin. 1906 was 6 years b4 my dad was born. Thats old. Lol gotta go watch the other video.
So you were able to re-list this! I am very happy for you!
I think the metal with the new paper print on it. Was used in producing news papers. I can remember my grandfather using that for various projects around the house.
Wonderhussy, solving mysteries with nothing but a bag of Chipotle!
Wow like totally papered out, maybe for wind/draft resistance? Interesting for sure. Lots of nostalgia there.
FYI - I noticed Sullivan Lane on the Kmart ad. That might put it from the Kmart in Sparks, NV at Oddie Blvd and Sullivan Lane.
That was called picture frame moulding. The space between the moulding and the ceiling was meant to be spaces for hooks from which to hang pics. Back then they didn’t pound nails in the walls. They hung pics from the picture frame or trim.
We used to use those aluminum plates on the web press when I worked at the Elko Daily Free Press in the late 70's-early 80's. I noticed the K-Mart ad had Oddie Blvd at Sullivan Lane on it,so it was from Reno. I'd place that around the early 1990's,but I won't guarantee the accuracy of that.
I saw a date of 1911 right next to the Gettysburg article, on our right.
I noted Idora Park which was an amusement park in Youngstown Ohio I went to in the 50s. But there was also one in Oakland CA built 1904 to the advent of the automobile that killed it.
The 50 year reunion at Gettysburg, PA, was 1913. The battle was 1863.These buildings were not all built in the same era. Fifty years apart I'd say. 1917 was the closest date I'd say. But you probably have a collection of old newspapers that the guy collected, perhaps a decade's span.
We should have a 2021 Wonderhussy Pinup Calendar.
I grew up in a 150 YO house in the NE. It had wallpaper on wallpaper. Sometimes whole sheets peel off and my grandad mix up some glue and slap it back up. Man way back machine there boy. I saw 1911 on one. Like the others said some are back to 1900 and less.
The sheet metal you found with ads or news print were used on a printing press roller to transfer images onto the newspaper. . someone must have snatched it on its way to scrapyard.
i love following you're adventures. be safe young woman.
Hi, When you get to Oregon again, west of Grant's Pass on Hwy 25 is Sam Brown Horse Campground. Sam Brown lies at rest in a campground across the road. You will get a chuckle out of Sam Browns history.
Sara, I believe the aluminum sheets with the newspaper ads on them were probably used during the newspaper printing process. A newspaper plate is a sheet of aluminum that contains the image of a newspaper page on it. Each page of the newspaper requires an individual aluminum plate. Each plate is a unique and lasting piece of the newspaper production process, which makes it collectible to some folks. The plate is wrapped around a large roller on one unit of the printing press, which has multiple units all with their own rollers and plates required to print a section of the paper. When the pressman starts the press, the rollers with the plates attached begin turning, picking up ink where the image was and transfers the image to a sheet of newsprint. Makes me wonder if any of the metal plates and newspaper print on the walls match?
The Soviet-Japanese border conflicts, also known as the Soviet-Japanese Border War, was an undeclared border conflict fought between the Soviet Union and Japan in Northeast Asia from 1932 to 1939.
Date: 1932 - 1939
Also Russia japanese war 1904
Excellent video on exploring the West! You are fun to watch stay postive....
Looking at the leaves on the tree, It's an apple tree. And given the age of the cabin, I'd say probably Granny Smith apples. Since they were usually used for baking, etc.
Love the way your mind works, and how you make up a story about the places you explore!!!! Keep up the good work with your exploring!!! Take Care and Stay Safe Wonderhussy!!!!!!
Wonderhussy Wednesday!!!
My favorite day of the week!
Just wow, if only walls could talk, what a great find, someone was happy there at one time.
Highlight of mid-week. Enjoyed your sleuthing. Beautiful scenery. Take care of yourself Sarah.
Loved this one!!
The piece of metal with the adds is a printing plate.
Damn girl, good job. You are a great detective. Show us more wonders. Peace to all.
Thank you wonderhussy you do a great job and then you follow up with the research I really appreciate that
Some people just have dark souls. You just do you, we enjoy what you do! Thanks
How'd I hope my favorite story teller is having a good Wonder Hussey Day 🏴☠️
Enjoyed this one I did see a tailings pile on the hill
Wondered what that was...really sticks out at about 12:00
Great journey and history lesson! Enjoyed this vlog! Stay safe and warm! 🤙🌺🍷
To heck with all the haters I love all your videos give up on him about three months ago and have become a big fan have yours just watching your adventures you continue to be safe out there and keep up the great work you're doing and to heck with what everybody else says. You do a great job
I hope you carry a snake bite kit. Knocking around these old cabins can have surprises .....
Sara Jane you make the best videos & always doing your research, stay safe cutie.
12:04 odd hill in the distance could be mine tailings? Nice job on the detective work.
Toyota should sponsor you! Love all the places you have and will explore!
my,my the roof in that first house looks like it "might" leak - actually would be more concerned about it collapsing ! somebody must not have liked the Gibson girl pics-scratch their eyes out-meow!!
I find it hard to believe that others are hating on you! guess they are jealous of the fact you "got it made" as far as how your able to show us what we could "get off our butts" and see the world ! big hug to YOU, sweet one!
The wicker construction looks quite British: houses were built of thatch and wicker with plaster/mud put in the spaces.
Waddle and daub was universally known since dark ages.
That's an actual stick built house eh Sarah!!! Crickeys I bet that was a cold place in the wintertime!
The Russo-Japanese war was fought in 1905.
@Hugo Adrian Wilkins Which would make that paper 1917!!!! Thursday falls on the 20th of sept every 5 to 6 years and one of those years it did was 1917! The other thursday, which didn't line up with the war, was 1906. Why write about a war a year later? But if there WAS a skirmish again in 1917 BOOM! It all lines up!
Glad to see the cabin and just love your personality and videos.
Thank you for following up to find out the date. A great bookend to end of the video.
Good sleuthing Sarah. Keep up the good work.
That's building style is called Wattle and Daub...Very old. P.S. old piles of rocks and lumber are a favorite home of snakes.
1906 and 1912 had September 20 on Thursday. I think the item referring to oil replacing coal was a reference to fuel for steam locomotives.
Wow, want a great old cabin
Gee just me if I was homeless in a big city I'd homesteading there ,that is Beautiful.
Sara, next spring or summer you should consider traveling eastward to western Kansas and check out the 'Monument Rocks' and 'Little Jerusalem, I think you'd be surprised and pleased. (Despite what you hear, Kansas is not boring, it's quite interesting). (The photo at 8:05 has 1901 down in left corner).
I know this is over a 1.5 year old video, but the mystery of the year drew me to find an answer. 8:21 there is an article about Esther Mitchell "Glad She Slew Her Brother." Searching San Francisco Chronicle newsbank website, a similar article was dated September 19, 1906.
