Jeff checks out graves of historic pioneers buried in the East Union Cemetery in Manteca, California. The cemetery dates back to 1872 and contains the remains of folks who came out west in search of gold in the 1840s and 1850s.

One of the graves is that of an 18-year-old man who had dreams of striking it rich only to die of malaria days after his ship landed in San Francisco.

He visits the grave of a man killed by his own bull, the first female deputy sheriff of San Joaquin County, a possible Indian scout for General George Custer, a boy who climbed an electric tower and was zapped and a county supervisor who decided to end it all in a not-so-successful method.
