Jeff, Once again.... awesome.....enjoy your sharing of history. I was part of the crew that built and dedicated one of those monuments... ECV, Matuca Chapter 1849.... Clampers.....

WONDERFUL!! So full of historical information, I had to watch it twice to make sure that I hadn't missed anything. It's videos like yours that make YouTube worth watching. Looking forward to your next episode!

Very interesting video. It was so strange there were no Chinese graves in the cemetery. I love the banter between you and Sarah - makes history even more fun to learn about - thank you!

Even these very early vids... you can see how great this channel was destined to become. I had no idea about any of this history... Thank you Jeff!

Just visited and walked around this place right now. Interested in some more history of Chinese Camp. Thank you for this

Really glad to have found your YouTube postings. As a Californian, it is rather sad to consider how many places of historical interest in our state are not receiving the proper restorative work to preserve it for future generations. So many of the original buildings and pioneer cemeteries are being neglected. Thank you for tracking down these interesting locations and retelling these stories from our past.

Thanks for sharing this. While growing up I spent all of my summers living in these foothills. This remains to be my favorite place on earth.

Where have you been all my life? I am hooked, so much history and info. I've learned much more about places I've been to and places I'm going to because of you two! Keep up the good work!

Watching warrior on hbo max brought me here

Library of Congress has pictures of some of the buildings, cemeteries back in 1946 I think. I enjoy yours and Sarah videos. You make history interesting. Wish I had been taught that instead of dates. Keep up the good work. Many of the Chinese were buried in Potter's Field with no grave markings or records.

It’s pretty strange no Chinese markers ? Where were the Chinese buried? Great story about the Chinese .. they did so much building the transcontinental railroad , but yet are not given a lot of recognition in history.. Kicked out after it was built… sad US history for the efforts they gave.. only to be cast out after the accomplishments . Without them, the railroad probably would not have been built as quickly.. it’s part of US history that we should be ashamed of for how we treated these immigrants.. thank you for the video! You guys do a great service retelling the stories ! Great video..

Very interesting, your sense of adventure and love of history keep me watching your videos. Keep doing the leg work and I'll keep watching them.

Wow!!! Talk about making me homesick!!!! This was an AWESOME episode! I’ve lost count of how many times we drove through there on our way to and from Yosemite. Thanks Jeff & Sarah! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!!♥️

I love all of these stories that you document.

Hey Jeff and Sarah very nice history thank you!!!!

Howdy, Jeff! What an interesting story! I hadn’t visited Chinese Camp until I did, virtually, with you and Sarah. It’s a rather sad sight, but loaded with history. The scenes in the cemetery were rather sadly unkept. Your sorrowful music was perfectly chosen and well photographed. I would give it a 10 for professional quality. Even in your early years of filming you had great potential! Thanks for making the trip for us! I can check it off my list! “Mo” in Stockton
