It’s amazing how many colorful people and adventurers existed that most people never heard of. Thanks for the history lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it
Imagine all the really cool, unspoiled wilderness he got to see. Another cool episode Santee!
Thank You!
Him and the mountain men with him
Absolutely, the world was way different back then.
I've always been a history buff, but I'm always learning something new. Thank you.
That's the ticket!
Wow, i had never heard of this guy
Me either. Mrs. Santee found this little nugget!
Santee, Just like eating Frosted Flakes while watching Saturday Morning Cartons as a kid. GREAT
Thank You!
Another of the unsung heroes of the west. Thanks for telling his story. I had not heard of him before.
Glad to help
Another amazing unsung American Hero.❣️🇺🇸 Thank you
You're welcome.
Thank you for the tour of Old Tucson and including our photo at the end of video.
You bet! Pleasure to meet you!!
Another good one, Santee. I really enjoyed this one. He was one great westerner. What an interesting life. With the High Holy Days going on right now in San Antonio, they would like to know about this guy. I think I'll pass it on to them.
Great thanks!
Another classic! Always good to learn about a historical figure that seems to slip the history books. Bill at the Alamo was great, and the baby goat standing right up just after you said she couldn’t had me laughin’ good! Keep it up!!!
Great to hear!
Good job Santee. It is important that these stories are not forgotten, and surveyors were a very important part of settling the West. I know the old cattle barons were fond of saying, "That out yonder belongs to me, by God." but land rights need to be a little more specific than that. Thomas Jefferson believed that small farmers were the backbone of the nation and surveyors made that happen. I picked up a book called "The World Rushed In" by J. S. Holliday about the gold rush and it is very informative. After an introduction about the trip it is a diary of the gold rush. You might like it.
Thanks for the info!
WOW, it looks like Herman played an impressive role in several ventures. I bet many of us have never even heard of him! Thanks, Santee, for giving him the acknowledgement he's due. I'll always marvel how you locate the perfect clip, visually and/or orally. That one of Herman Munster was absolutely perfect. 🎊👏🏻🤠🏜
HAHA! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm digging the Campaign Hat look, and as always another great video Thanks Santee
You're welcome!
Awesome video Santee. I never had heard of that man. What a interesting person. He really had a adventurous life. Thanks for sharing this little bit of Western history.🤠🇺🇲
Much appreciated.
Perfect Saturday morn'n Coffee ☕ Ghostriders 👻 Coffee ☕☕ Great episode Santee
Thanks, amigo.
Great history lesson and Amazon has the book. I believe these first settlers had a sense of direction that we no longer have. Really thankful for his work.
I think so too!
I am an Ehrenberg, and my grandfather always said that we are related to Herman, but I have not yet figured out the cousin connection. My Ehrenberg branch has been in Chicago since about 1850. Thanks for the video! Now I have something fun to share with the family.
That's awesome!
Thanks again Santte & Co.. I'm not a surveryor , but I was a US Navy Operations Specialist ( radarman ) . Surveyors in the old times measured distances with forty foot lengths of steel chain called a shot . George Washington was a surveyor besides being a planter and military officer . In the US Navy anchor chains are measured in forty foot lengths and called a shot of chain . Every shot of chain is somehow painted or marked so that the sailors know the length of the anchor chain that they have payed out . I believe that a shot and a cable are similar measurements , and old time sailors would use the term cables to measure short distances .
Great info! I learned something here.
Ehrenburg AZ by I10 and the rio Colorado. Thanks for the info on this guy. He was a true adventurer. Thanks Santee
You're welcome.
Happy Saturday Santee! Love the episodes on old west geography. As a cartographer and adventurer, this is right up my alley. Thanks!
wait just a second! A baby goat!?!? Our sheep are about to drop lambs right now. Should be any day. God bless y'all and your livestock from our flock in Prescott to your herd down by Tucson!
Thanks for watchin'!
CooL!
Nice shirt! Nice hat! You are blazing a trail in western fashion! And thanks for telling the stories of these brave explorers, gone but not forgotten. Not forgotten because of you, Santee. 👍
Glad you like them!
Loved the "quirkey!!" Like me!! 🎸🎸 NW Montana
Thank You!
Santee, you got upstaged! A pretty little girl steals our hearts for a moment. The Winchester and the Colt may have been the guns that won the west, but it was the surveyors who determined where it was, so to speak. Many a time people found out they didn't own what they thought they owned, and then there was always the difficulty of putting down a square system of lines on a not so square Earth. And if the river changed course after a flood, so did your property line. I took a couple of surveying courses in college and was fascinated by the details of surveying and mapping, and the associated legal aspects.
Very interesting. Thanks!
Since today is Texas Independence Day I'm glad you did a video on a Texas Rev vet who I've never heard of and have read hundreds of pages about the war and will defiantly read that book to hopefully learn more. I also want to wish you and the Arizona Ghostriders team a happy Texas Independence Day even though y'all are in Arizona.
Happy Independence Day to Texas!
Great video of an unsung hero of the west. Thanks! I had a great uncle that was in a surveying team that mapped much of Colorado in the early 1900's. Quite a guy. He boxed in the "smokers", to help put himself through college to become an engineer. He retired to Colorado Springs in the middle 1950s. And I was pleased to visit with him and hear of his adventures. Surveying this country surely was a challenge.
It sure was. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Santee. It's great that you are bringing the past into the future with all this great information and a short period of time. Thank you so much for what you do you're greatly appreciated. 🤠
Glad it was helpful!
Good story about a real pioneer. Keep them coming.
Much appreciated Greg.
Moving out of Colorado later today but glad I got to catch this before I leave later today
Whoah! Safe travels.
Thanks Santee the trip went alright too 😊
You could pick apart the book "Dodge City," and have a series forever. That town was fascinating.
I bet.
Great episode Santee, I love reading and hearing about Americas great explorers. Have a great weekend. JT
Thanks, you too!
He got to be "first" at a lot of places. Thanks for this particular Saturday information. Be safe out there, and take it easy man.
Thanks, you too!
I used to go hiking in my younger days, and I'd imagine myself in the early 1800s, seeing the country as when it was new (it helps a lot if you go to Wilderness Areas). I knew there must've been men who actually did that, but I was born 130 years too late!
Yeah, born 130 years too late!
Thank you for the baby goat at the end of the video; that was adorable!
You're welcome.
Another fantastic interesting history of America especially Arizona territory Santee. Unknown land to survey.-Kid Yuma.
Thank You!
@@ArizonaGhostriders welcome
Great video as usual Santee. There were so many unheard of people who helped shape the west. Awesome background by the way.
Thank You!
Thanks for sharing amigo! Another name that I didn't new about! Always a pleasure to learn from you!
Awesome and thank you!
Love the history stories!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Glad you like them!
2:34 OMG. The Villain. I haven't seen that movie in years. Now I'm going to have to dig it up, lol....
Yep. Fun film.
Love these biographies that you do, Santee! Herman Ehrenberg seemed like quite an interesting fellow. The baby goat at the end was super cute too. Hope you consider doing episode on Chuch Stanton! Now that was a crazy guy.
Glad you enjoyed it! I will do one on him.
Many moons ago (as a young lad), I recall Ehrenberg, AZ as very hot, desolate, and a "roost" for "highway robbers", off of US 60. A paper cup of water cost 10 cents, as did using a restroom. Several "trading posts" that largely dealt in buying stranded travelers possessions so they could afford car repairs or gasoline. This was the scene from Phoenix to Blythe, back in the 60s.
I imagine a buzzard perched about that sign.
Another fine history lesson on someone I was unfamiliar with, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a cool life he lived
Right? Exciting.
Another banger. Another banger by Santee from arizona ghostriders.
Thank You!
Excellent episode Santee. What a great life. Sad ending though. We need to know more about men like this. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it
I used to be an adventurer until I went to Antarctica. That's when things went south.
Dear Gawd!
In fairness to you, Santee, it's a long way from Arizona, but Hawaii's in the North Pacific.
You're correct. Shame on me since I lived there for four years.
another awesome job thank ya'll always entertain me keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
I am amazed how they mapped out things.
Yeah, me too. Quite a science.
@@ArizonaGhostriders have you done one on pets in the old west?
Great distances didn't seem to intimidate adventurers back then, and I complain about an all day drive on a interstate highway.
Yeah....they were not upset about walking miles!
Way Cool Hat Santee ! Thank you for educating me about something I had never heard of before. And Keeping The Spirit Of The Old West Alive !
Much appreciated!
Your awesome and awesome video big fan of wild west
Thank You!
Your welcome
Very awsomely interestingly informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it and I learned a lot about the old west frontier as well as Hermon Ehrenburg, who I've never heard of until now, great job and well done, keep up the great work. I got a ton of inspiration for my old west frontier, retro, retrofuturism, video games and occult/esoteric inspired mythos project titled Mysteriarch Mythos: Pixel Pioneers and the polygon realms. I'm definitely going to be adding frontier adventurers and surveyors as well as explorers to my mythos stories and world. Not only is there a old west frontier island called Tabbantha Isle in my stories, there's also two other frontier islands, that I haven't named yet in my stories as well as three important adventurer/surveyor characters that I also haven't named yet.
Keep on writin'
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks. Today I'm getting even further story inspiration from playing zelda tears of the kingdom as well as watching videos on lost history,hidden history ,philosophy, esoteric knowledge and lore, occult knowledge and lore , the paranormal and the history of religion and spirituality as well as physics,mythology, folklore and other sciences,nature and the cosmos. I already added a lot of additional lore narrative details to stories 3 through 7 so far.
Your Shows are Awesome !!!!!!!
Much appreciated!
The baby goat is adorable❤
yes!
This was great thanks for sharing
You are so welcome
Keep up your work , thank you ❤️✌️
Thank you, I will
That's amazing how they did that without computers. Just using rulers, and compasses.
Yeah!
Great episode ❤❤
Thank You!
Great episode, thank you Santee
Thank You! Much appreciated.
Thanks santee very informative and always entertaining
Glad you enjoyed it
Lots of hilarious tales of surveyors of the old west. Some were drunks. Some went around Indian villages. One such deviation was so bad an oil company in Wyoming drilled in the wrong section because the surveyor starting at the wrong corner, so that he crossed the line in a badly distorted trapezoidal shaped section.
You're very welcome and thanks for your service.
If he could have had OnX or Google maps, he could have done all of this rather quickly. Ha. Grateful for all he and folks like him. Thanks Santee.
HA! Yes he could have.
Hello Arizona Ghost Riders. Ted from Texas I am kind of surprised they did not run into more hostile Indians on their Adventure. Good episode my friend
Others did.
Postin road and Ehrenberg are names I grew up with in Blythe ca across from Ehrenberg az.
Cool!
Speaking of, how many people know that both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were surveyors, Jefferson's surveying system is still used today
I didn't know!
@ArizonaGhostriders most don't, I worked for a surveyor for a few years he told me about it, he was also always impressed with how with the tools they had in the period you mostly represent they were so close that even though the surveyors started from both coasts they were able to meet the surveys so close
A good friend of mine did a first person interp of him when we did a portion the greys march into Texas
That's cool!
The 19th century was truly the age of the explorer.
It was.
IT IS AMAZING WITH WHAT TOOLS THEY WORKED WITH .. COMPASS A PLUM BOB AND TRANSIT ,, HAMMER A MARKER STAKES AND OF COURSE SORE FEET ( LOTS OF WALKING ) THANKS AGAIN AND ADIOS SANTEE be carefull out there OH YA NO SITTING on CHOLLA !! HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND
You as well!
Big fan, and I love the videos!
Thank You!
my 160 on Ar was surveyed just before the cw. when i bought it it was redone by gps and laser. perfect match. those men way back new how to read a compass for sure
They did know how.
thanks
Welcome
Great story santee !
Thank You!
Very interesting, quite a man!
Thank You!
Happy independence day to the great state of Texas. And happy birthday to President Sam Houston.
Yes!
ArizonaGhostriders, I would love to see a video about Sam Houston Houston some day.
Considering the way some people feel about immigrants your sharing of this story makes me think of the truth in the phrase "Team work makes the dream work ". Nice holster and ya gotta love that campaign hat even if it does give me throwbacks to my Air Force TI from basic training. I enjoy watching KZhead videos about livestock so I have to know what did they name the baby goat and thanks for sharing that with us.
Thanks and I appreciate your service to the US.
Would love your take on how to properly fit an everyday western hat. Furthermore, id love an episode on the western "edc" (every day carry).
I have a great video on carry styles in the firearms playlist.
Patreon list is growing
Indeed it is!
Mapping places that no one from the expedition has ever encounter, that is something. One heck of a responsibility. People now days just look at Google maps and don't really think of what it would be like or even how to use a real map. Hell I haven't had to use a real map myself.
It's definitely a tough job.
He has a great legacy, but he got it the hard way.
I agree.
Never heard of him❤
Now you have. 🤠
Interesting dude. RIP Herman
He was!
@@ArizonaGhostriders keep reporting on these really interesting but little known Westerners. Their story is an important part of Americana.
Very interesting video!
Glad you think so!
There was lot of tedious work involved in those surveys. They had a length of chain 66 feet long and the surveyor's assistant would walk out on a compass bearing with that chain and a marking pole with the it's height marked on it. The surveyor would use his theodolite (surveying level with a small telescope) to note any difference in height based on the marking pole then the surveyor would move up to were his assistant was and they'd repeat the process. They'd have to do this thousands of times to map even a few square miles.
Yeah, I did a quick scan of the procedure. Whoooo-weeee!
Great video Santee
Glad you enjoyed it, Led!
A rousing thank you is order for highlighting forgotten events and people. How about a primer on the Baron of Arizona and the first white rancher in the Arizona area at Camps. All I know is they hired a wagon load of lumber from Nogales and the Tucson branch of the Historic Society has an image of the not too bad ruins of their adobe house.
I'll look into it!!
Really awesome episode, Santee! Herman certainly had an interesting life. Can you just imagine all the untouched landscape he has seen? I drive by Ehrenberg on Interstate 10 every time I go to Arizona. Will have to try to find his grave some time and pay respects. How is the new 10 minute ago goat doing? UPDATE: I found his grave on the internet at Dos Palmas Cemetery near Palm Springs California.
Yeah, say hi to him from Santee. We now have 6 new baby goats. WOW!
That is awesome! They been named yet?
@@joemortimer1763 I haven't asked. I'll let ya know
I enjoyed the information. I wore my Arizona Ghostriders shirt today. Can you do one on the Filming of Charro with Elvis?
Thanks, and I probably can. Just let me get to the Elvis chapel in Gold Canyon and get footage.
That one there is pert near perfect Pard. That’s a handsome hat ya got there. My wife said that you look like a big Phillips head screw driver. All the best, and see ya on down the trail.
Thank you!
Hey Santee How about one on the actresses that traveled from town to town performing, like Julia Dean
Did that one.
👍♥️
🤠
That was a pretty cheesy line there Munster 😂 Mountain man
HA!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You!
Hi santee really like the channel be really cool with you could do an episode on folk stories of the Old West. Slide rock boaters,wendigo, hide behind that sort of thing.
I've done it! Look at the Monsters in the Old West series (Scary Old West playlist).
👌👌👍👍
🤠
Hey Santee, Have you done an episode on hat bands? Could be a good topic if not.
I have. even made a hatband. Gotta make another, though (gave that one away).
Santee what is your take on the trial of the NM vs Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and how the armorer and gun safety is handled on the sets of the movies that you worked on ?
I've done a video on using real guns in western movies and also a couple livestreams regarding this situation. kzhead.info/sun/hbuofZSlipqvpIE/bejne.html
3:27 id of been disappointed if you didn’t make this reference.
🦖
Can you please do a video on King Sam Woolsey? An Arizona icon and my great uncle..
I'll look into it.
I’m sure that was a very rough life to live with little rewards then again, not being in a heavily populated area has its own advantages.
Absolutely!
You could be a professor of Yesteryears
HAAH!
