Always amazes me that these prospectors were so trustimg of the indians. Also, they did think of a way to mark the trail with some secret markings! Good one! 😊
@@soulcalsaga fyi I have done some extensive research on Breyfogle. I met descendants and have a copy of the only known photograph of Charles Breyfogle. The best researched version of the story in modern times is in Richard Lingenfelter's "Death Valley and the Amargosa". Check out my history films on my site as well. But I love the narration and illustrations and when it comes to knowing the "actual" story of Breyfogle's lost gold it's really been, as it was from the start, in the hands of who's telling it!
I believe you have this story mixed up with the lost Mashbird mine. It was a prospector by the name of Mashbird along with another companion that left Stewart Ranch in the Las Vegas valley heading south perhaps into the Mccollough Mountain range. His story is almost identical to the one you are telling here but you replace Mashbird for Breyfogal. I can't understand why you would do that? There is plenty of information on the Internet concerning the lost Breyfogal mine and none of that information confuses it with the Mashbird account.
@@soulcalsaga They are definitely different people. Sorry I did spell Breyfogle wrong. Anyway Breyfogle is not at all connected with the McCullough Mountains. His lost mine is suppose to be somewhere near Death Valley. I am curious where your researcher got the information? I can't find anything on the Internet that supports your version of the story? However, I must admit that I prefer your version. I am just very skeptical that it is the correct one unless there is some link you could provide to back it up?
I found a copy of the book "Nevada, Lost Mines & Buried Treasure" by Douglas McDonald. The first story told in this book is about Charles C. Breyfogle's lost mine. It is a completely different story. Check it out for yourself. Unfortunately, this does make me question the credibility of your other treasures videos. But I still hope you continue because I really enjoy your narration and story telling. But please have your researcher do some more fact checking before you put them on your channel. Thank you!
This is the definition of a tangled tale. Even down to Breyfogle's first name.
Lol. Yes it is. Strange story
bedtime stories, warstories and your channel should all be connected
That's interesting. Thank you for ideas
Interesting. Who did the illustrations? They're really cool.
Thery are AI. In style of Albert bierstadt

Lol. Right. This one has most evidence
Yes it does!
Very cool. I wondered if they were AI.
You should check out Albert Bierstadt paintings. Pretty cool

He might of went earlier
