- We'll take a short break from vintage firearms to tour some fascinating historical sites on and around the ranch in this episode. We'll show you where locals chased down would-be bank robbers, the Fremont & Kit Carson expedition of 1843 that crossed the ranch, the site of the earliest known evidence of man in the Americas, visit a Native American vision quest and try to interpret a centuries-old stone map of the area.
If you enjoy history, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Mark this episode is hands down my favorite. THANK YOU for inviting us into this fascinating world that you are such a compassionate steward of.
I’m a huge history nut and the old west, really the time of the mountain man, is my favorite period so I think I’ve found a new favorite channel.
I’m also a gun guy and have built a few of my own so I feel like a kid at Christmas finding this channel.
GOD BLESS YA
I heard a lot of terms for arresting bad guys during my career but gathering them up is a new one I love it.
Absolutely enjoyable and informative. I have been “out West” hunting a number of times mostly in Wyoming and New Mexico and love the country. If I could convince my wife I would move out there in a heart beat. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful, diverse and historic place.
I follow your channel primarily for the firearms but I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. It doesn't have to all be about the guns. Awesome work. Thanks.
You're very welcome! I really enjoy history.
Thank you, very, very much for this episode! That rock will resonate with me for a long, long time.
Wow! Another great video. That boulder map is just fabulous! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love your channel and old firearms as I have plenty of them myself. This history lesson about your area was fascinating and I learnt a lot. Paul Smith. Australia.
Outstanding review of some great history. I am a big history person myself. As a former investigator in charge of Bank Robbery Investigstions, they may want to pick jurisdictions where people are not allowed to have firearms. I'm pretty darn sure that never applied to where you're at.
Yea, that was a pretty sad chapter in our local history. The old fellow who shot that bank robber just passed away last year. Definitely wasn't a good choice of locations to rob and kill a beloved citizen.
Thank you for sharing a fascinating history of your beautiful country.
Your story about the bank robbery reminds me of a recollection in one of Keith's books where he describes how the whole town turned out for a turkey shoot when bank robbers came to his town. I always have that in the back of my mind when I see a western where the bad guys swan into town and totally terrify the locals, or rob the bank. At least as far as the bank is concerned, there was no federal insurance prior to 1933, so people were motivated to spark up some black powder if thieves came for their money.
I'd forgotten about that story in "Hell, I was there". Even today, I think it would be a very bad idea for someone to come rolling into most rural American towns with armed robbery in mind. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Try that in a small town
I just discovered your channel, but your area has been one I fell in love with decades ago. For many years I would travel to Christmas Valley to help a friend on his Alfalfa ranch. I still have many friends in Burns. When the weather is rough I use the road down to Lakeview on my way home, as the pass is less difficult. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the tour. That is some really beautiful country I'm glad that you live there and show your appreciation for it.
Being in NY we have much history from early times through the Revolution. I'm a lover of American history and you have it there and are living it.
Thanks for sharing it and I really enjoy it.
You're very welcome Mark!
Love the history and thank you for the tour.
Thanks Trevor!
Enjoyed your history lesson. The rock map was very cool.
Thanks Scotty! Glad you liked it.
That map - coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I find it fascinating as well. Thanks for watching
What an amazing rock map. So glad it has not been destroyed, looted or tagged. Thanks for sharing.
Since posting this, I've been told there's at least one more similar map in this basin that's still intact.
@@thecinnabar8442 Oh My .... Do I smell an adventure coming sometime in the future ??
What a respectfull tour,, i follow this channel from now on. Greetings from Amsterdam / the netherlands
Wonderful tour of some of the history of that area. I know the area well and as soon as I saw the chalk lines I could make out the escarpment and lake features. John Gaylord took us to a couple of the historic sights you pointed out and got us hooked on exploring and learning about the area, sure miss him.
This was a great addition to your channel and I’d love to see more content like this in the future.
thank you for a very interesting and informative Video. I really enjoy your channel 🙂👍☕
Excellent tour. Very interesting and enjoyable
Thanks Terry! I'll bet you recognize some of those places.
Excellent talk about the history in your area, you did a great job! History is a passion of mine too and find that there is so much important old stuff right in our back yards. Nice to hear from others who feel the same way. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing ❤
That was a really great story. Thank you. I love the area, I live a bit south of you, in fact have met you once or twice (had a booth next to you at the LC Gun Show). I too am a history buff and have explored some amazing places in our area. Keep up the great videos and with any luck I will see you again.
Nowadays, a Drone could 'map this whole place'. What they have found in SA forests is amazing so this would be a GREAT site to "Drone"!! I personally live at an old (and MUCH smaller) Ranch in Colorado and have not been able to find much history other than bits and pieces from previous owners. Thanks for sharing ALL of your knowledge..much appreciated!
You're very welcome, Willey! I just love history and being able to share it.
Thank You for the history!
Thanks for the tour!
Enjoyed thanks
Outstanding 👏
Very interesting! Thank you.
I really enjoyed your tour and the history of that land
Thank you for keeping thing’s safe. Cool
I love history, you are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. Thank you
Love the History! Thank you for sharing! 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Glad you liked it, Jeffry!
Thank you for the beautiful tour.
You're very welcome, James!
Another great job!
Thanks Ben!
Loved it Mark. Makes me want to visit soon.
Thanks Jim! Bet it makes you want to go hunting some rock chucks.
Thank you! This was a great episode. The map was cool.
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
What a special place, thank you kindly for sharing!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching.
I grew up on a farm that has been in the family since 1845 in western or. So I love Oregon history.my dad and his 4 brothers would meet at my grand mother's place each morning to discuss what they would do that day,often they would talk Oregon history.I was with my dad goose hunt at summer lake,staying at Dean Hands when the Paisley robbery took place.
As a history major this is something that really fascinates me, especially that map. It's it first I've heard of/ scene of a stone carved map so I'm definetly going to be digging into this for a bit. As always, another great video.
Nice to see someone who appreciates and respects history. So sad how so many find it necessary to vandalize and loot historical sites. Thank you for the very interesting video.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
Nice. I do like history, the older i get the more i like it.
THANK YOU SIR
Well done Mark. Fascinating history....so cool it is on the Cinnebar and surrounding area. It must be fascinating to research it. Stay on it.
Thanks Mark! I do enjoy the history here.
Great history tour of the Cinnabar, thanks for sharing. Stunning views of the countryside. Would love to see how daily life is on the farm.
Thanks so much for watching! While I'm going to gunsmithing school and time is very limited, I will likely focus on vintage firearms. If the channel becomes more popular and time permits, we have discussed expanding to show more ranch related episodes.
Beautiful Country
Wow, amazing!! So very interesting! Great job with the pictograph rock. Wonderful history.
Great videos !!! Keep up the good work 👌🏻
Thanks Felix! Will do.
You mentioned the lake bed. It looked pretty dry. I can only imagine what the drought has done to your country there. Simply great video sir. So glad I found your channel.
Thanks for sharing this. My Dad used to talk a lot about Lewis and Clark. These histories like what you went over are important to remember!
I enjoy learning about our history and getting the chance to share it. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. Fascinating ancient map you have there. Thanks for sharing. Since your geography hasn't been molested over the centuries with too much development ...it makes the map even more profound. I can see an ancient man standing before the rock charging someone with a task and showing them on the map where to go.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated. Please continue to protect, revere, respect, and keep learning about history there and everywhere. Have a better year in 2022 and take care.
Much appreciated
Amazing history, thanks. I've photographed a large number of petroglyphs throughout the southwest & always find them interesting & exciting.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Love your channel !! Just subscribed today and am looking forward to more vids from you. Signed, Doug.
Thanks Doug! So glad you found our channel.
Hello gretings from Denmark - interessting video.
The history of the map was very fascinating - thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome, Martin! Thanks for watching.
Very cool!
Thanks Patrick!
We have similar gliffs up and down the river I live on, many hundreds of years old. They have always fascinated me to. Thanks for the video. God Bless !
I just love the history of the Old West! Thanks for watching!
@@thecinnabar8442 The gliffs on my river are very,very, old.
They show the sand bars across the great lakes where the Caribou used to merge down south.
They add how the same gliffs you have are older than you think.
The con centric rings are settlements but the single rings w/ dots in them are individually unique. They show an individual clan where their camp is.
You see Mark they worked together
for the good of the all and in this way there was never a dispute on the end result! God Bless!!!
Amazing…thanks!
You're very welcome James! Glad you liked it.
I just discovered your channel. I've spent a bit of time motorcycling through your part of the state, even riding to Fremont Point on a street bike. Consider me subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Your enthusiasm for history comes right through. I had to look up Cinnabar. I read it’s often accompanied by hot springs. In my part of the world it’s Yorkshire folk who refer to home as God’s own country but I’m not sure I’d argue for that - your location is stunning. Thanks and best wishes.
Thanks Jon! I really enjoy history, even though our recorded history is very short here compared to yours. You're right about Cinnabar being associated with hot springs. Our area has very active geothermal activity. There is a hot spring bath house just down the road and a 3 megawatt geothermal generator here on the ranch that produces electricity from 240 F wells. Thanks so much for watching.
Wow This Episode Was Fascinating You Kept My Full Attention The Whole Time That Rock Map Was Incredible The History Tour Was Amazing Did You Do a Tour of The Cinnabar Mine That Too Is Interesting Mercury Was Important Back In The 19th and 20th Century Still Has It’s Uses Today 😀😊 Thanks For The Tour and Shooting Happy Independence Day 😀👍🏼
Thanks Chris! I've thought about doing something at the mine. The remnants of the crusher and retort are still there, but rock has sloughed off from above and covered the entrance to the shaft. I found an old jack leg drill and some steel mercury flasks in one of our old shop buildings year ago. I was thinking I would do a shooting episode at the mine and throw in some of the history of the mine as well. Have a great 4th weekend!
Very nice. Knowing the history of a place allows an individual to look upon it with a completely different view than the average individual. Over here by Boise there are petroglyphs that are thousands of years old. Some look like hair combs. My son joked that 'we were a primitive, but well groomed people'. Other petroglyphs look almost just like a computer keyboard. Who knows what that's about. Orhers are lizards and birds. Interesting to see.
It's fascinating to ponder what life was like for those who came before us. Whether it's the early settlers or those who were here long before them. I'd like to think we are pretty tough and self-sufficient, but we don't hold a candle to those folks.
Thank you for the tour as far as I'm concerned that's gods country my father in law worked on the ZX for years and we spent many a day in that country never wanted to leave
You're welcome, Jon! Hope it brought back some good memories for you
Another great video Mark. Miss you in the shop. Kyle bought a Winchester that I will try to send you a picture of. Its remarkable how bad it is, you would get a kick out of it.
Be well.
Thanks Shane! I'd love to see Kyle's old Winchester. Send me a picture at: CinnabarGunworks@gmail.com. Hope you're enjoying your summer!
Don't know how I never saw this channel before when it's history of the american west and winchester rifles also I'm onboard just subscribed yesterday
Also video and history lesson thank you
You're very welcome David
That map is a treasure. Id put a covered building over it, so it can stay around for another few hundred years.
Thanks, Paul. That's a good idea!
What lake is it? Thank you for sharing something so important and also clearly near and dear to you. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome Ben. That's Summer Lake in the background.
It is a nice home in Oregon you have there. To bad what is happening there .
Thanks for sharing, real interesting!
No history buff but enjoyed it. 👍
Wonderful episode, thank you ! I'm guessing the Map Rock is basalt? Possibly cinnabar ?
You're right - basalt. Cinnabar is actually a red crystal.
I am new to this you tube channel, found it looking for varnish removers. Are you in Olancha area? Looks like Owens Lake. My Grandfather bought the Mt Whitney Motel in 1950 and my cousin lives in Olancha. anyways i really enjoyed your bit of history. I have a lot of history from that area and a lot of time spent there. Are you familiar with the Anchor Ranch and Tom Nolan.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with those places. We're in remote Southeastern Oregon.
Did you mention that your people supplied the cavalry with horses? What did the horses look like? Any pictures? Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Ron! Unfortunately, the only pictures of the family that raised the cavalry mounts are from a lot later time.
Hey Mark Michael showed me one of those maps at the lower mash
Wow! I didn't know there were any others around. I'd love to see it someday.
the lake you look out over is Summer Lake? trying to figure out locations.
You got it.
Do you know Randy Selby of Randy's Custom Rifles? I think He is around.Cody somewheres?
I watch his channel and met him briefly at a gun show in Cody. Great old-time gunsmith.
Hi pal just wondering how the cinnabar got it’s name? And how big is the ranch?
There's an old cinnabar mine on the ranch that the original homesteaders worked up through the depression years. We're modest sized compared to some of the larger ranches in the area, but still a few thousand acres.
Are there still wild plums growing there today? All I saw in the background was grass.
Also, by "wild plum" are you referring to the holly-leafed cherry? I know native American tribes in my area used these trees, too.
Yes, there are still large patches of wild plums here today. I'm not familiar with the holly-leafed cherry, all I've ever heard them called is wild plum. I believe their proper name is Prunus Americana.
I made a made a mistake on my 35 . It's a model 8 35, forgivecme on your flat side video
Those are cool guns. 35 Remington is a little different cartridge, but both are powerhouses.
My father had a outfit back in 67, I remember so many times in various hardware stores and pawn shops you could buy these old rifles, being from Texas never seen them down here. I remember seeing quite a few in Redlodge and Sheridan
Ok we know the name of your ranch, but what state, and area are you located?
What state is this?
Oregon
This the Longview area?
Eastern Oregon
@@thecinnabar8442 Ochoco if so I have a younger sister living in that area. Emailed U!
Why don't you tell us where you are? We have to guess what State and county?
There's a very good reason for that, Eldon. We don't want people pinpointing where we are and trying to locate these petroglyphs. Idiots have already defaced a lot of petroglyphs and looted most Native American artifacts here in the west.
Those boots look like Whites. Am I right?
Yep, good eye!
@@thecinnabar8442 Recently White was bought by Danner. Sad but I don’t believe they are as good as they once were. Nick’s is supposedly the best now though I’ve not owned a pair of them.
