Nate Salsbury was the owner and business manager of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and supposedly owned a ranch in the area. We visit the building that has been long rumored to be Salsbury's ranch, and where Bill Cody may have even etched his name on a wall.

We drive to Tucson every year or two, just because we like to visit there, and see abandoned buildings and ruins and wonder what they are or were. Thanks for uncovering these little mysteries a bit at a time.

The building was Stuckey's. It was up till around 1987. Stop there to go to the restroom. I was stuck at Stuckey's
-
When the video starts you are standing where a Stuckeys used to be. I used to stop there in the late 70s- early 80s.
-
That was more than a gas station! That was a Stuckey's restaurant. I actually stopped there many years ago for gas and some snacks. The last Stuckey's I know of in Az was east of Tucson back in the early 90s.

You have incredible attention to detail, that date was a jaw dropping moment I'm sure. Even if the ranch house wasn't famous I appreciate your tour of it. It is interesting to think who and how they lived in the past. Thanks for the post 😊

we LOVE you. Steve!~ :)

Love, love, love your channel and it's neat to see how you're able to branch out into other states. As always, wonderful videos, and I enjoy your consistent updates. Hoping your channel continues to grow!!

I couldn’t click on this fast enough. It seems like the majority of the attention given the Civil War were the battles in the eastern and western theater and the trans Mississippi. The war in New Mexico and Arizona have been treated like afterthoughts. Thank you for showing these places and bringing attention to them. A few of your commenters have mentioned Picacho Pass. Has Sidetrack Adventures visited the site? It’s gorgeous at this time of year with all the wildflowers in bloom.

We were always taught in school that Picacho Peak was the westernmost battle. Maybe the westernmost with casualties.

Hi Steve, I've been enjoying your videos for some time. I wanted to comment on the portion of the wall with the date 1902. I did a comparison between your video shot at 7:56 and the wall photo taken by Ghost Town AZ, and the piece of wall above the 1902 date does have the upper portion of Cody. It is kind of faint, but can be made out. Anyway, great video!

Historians typically cite the battle of Glorietta Pass in NM as the last battle. I hadn't heard of this, but it sounds interesting
-
Thanks for posting your awesome videos and letting my imagination tag along with your great commentary.
-
Always interesting subject matter. I'm not a California fan but old places and events are intriguing no matter what state they're in. Thanks for the history and on-site video.
-
How strange. I always hear that Picacho Peak was the westernmost battle of the American Civil War. Curious! Funny how even history gets changed. 😂
-
Loved the music soundtrack on this. I like your taste in music Steve.
-
Western most Civil War battle…”Battle of Picacho Pass”…113 miles east. Between Phoenix and Tucson.
-
Another fine trek ! Thanks so much for your time..
-
You should add Fort Grant, AZ. Known to hold Geranamo(sp) & Billy the kid, who escaped
-
Interesting share, land deeds could show who owned the property.
