Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. What's up?
How are you, man? Hey, man. How are you? It's great to meet you. Pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I really enjoyed you on the Jesse Michaels Podcast, so I had to have you on. Yeah, well, thank you so much, man. I love it when young people know so much about ancient history. Like, how did you get started in this?
Well, it's quite literally in my blood. Back in the late, well, I should say the 1890s, my family, they were cattle rustlers right here in the hill country, actually, maybe a little bit further, quite a bit further west of San Antonio.
Damn, you come from a lot of criminals? Probably.
Yeah, there's a lot of dark history in here. And so they're cattle rustlers that are out in Dryden, Texas, in Sanderson, Texas. And I mean, right on the Rio Grande. And that's how they made their money. They were fascinated, kind of like everybody, with finding gold, with finding lost Spanish treasure and Native American artifacts. So They're living in this area called the Reagan Canyon.
And I've seen it all over the place. If you look on, I think like the Smithsonian did something on the top 10 forgotten places in the United States. It's like the most remote areas of our country. And somewhere in there is Reagan Canyon. And so out there, they developed this fascination for looking for lost Spanish gold.
And, you know, there were bandits that would hide up in the hills and they would sack Spanish caravans and drag the gold up into the hills to not get caught, to hopefully come back for it later. And the Spanish are out there mining for gold and everything. So my family gets caught up in one of the biggest mysteries of Texas history.
Like if you were to look up, if you were to go to some bookstore, there's a popular one called the Sons of Coronado. And it's like this legacy of people looking for Spanish gold. And somewhere in there, my family will be in there. And so this started in the 1890s. And it's this long saga of the gold being – the treasure being dragged to San Antonio and all these people get killed.
