1 00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:04,600 [Steven] Ominous destruction 2 00:00:04,667 --> 00:00:06,000 on a Welsh hillside. 3 00:00:07,166 --> 00:00:10,200 It's hard to believe that something could have 4 00:00:10,266 --> 00:00:12,567 taken out that whole middle section. 5 00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:18,266 [Steven] A deceptively peaceful gateway to hell. 6 00:00:18,266 --> 00:00:20,000 This was a real contrast to 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,066 what many of them knew was to come. 8 00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:25,667 [Steven] And a baffling ancient wonder 9 00:00:25,667 --> 00:00:26,767 in the new world. 10 00:00:27,767 --> 00:00:30,000 You have all of these massive arches 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,567 You have all of these massive arches 12 00:00:30,567 --> 00:00:31,000 that really just dominate the landscape. 13 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,000 [Steven] Decaying relics, 14 00:00:39,467 --> 00:00:41,700 ruins of lost worlds, 15 00:00:43,066 --> 00:00:45,567 sites haunted by the past. 16 00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:50,266 Their secrets waiting to be revealed. 17 00:01:00,967 --> 00:01:01,000 In San Francisco Bay, 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,567 a cluster of relics sits marooned 19 00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:07,000 on a hilly island. 20 00:01:09,467 --> 00:01:11,467 You'll come across what look like 21 00:01:11,467 --> 00:01:13,000 defensive structures, 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,467 and you'll see in some areas there were gun emplacements. 23 00:01:17,467 --> 00:01:19,266 Clearly this was a place with, you know, 24 00:01:19,266 --> 00:01:22,266 great military or naval significance. 25 00:01:22,266 --> 00:01:26,300 But when was it used and who was it working against? 26 00:01:27,667 --> 00:01:30,000 [Steven] Elsewhere a series of bucolic structures 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,900 [Steven] Elsewhere a series of bucolic structures 28 00:01:30,967 --> 00:01:31,000 conceals a dark history. 29 00:01:33,967 --> 00:01:36,767 There are some that look like quaint little houses. 30 00:01:36,767 --> 00:01:39,200 It almost looks like a little holiday village. 31 00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:41,166 It's like a retreat 32 00:01:41,166 --> 00:01:42,967 or some place that you would go 33 00:01:42,967 --> 00:01:44,367 to rest and relax, 34 00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:46,900 but it's completely empty, completely deserted. 35 00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,600 [Steven] Who once lived in these pretty houses? 36 00:01:51,667 --> 00:01:54,800 And what kind of conflict shattered their life here? 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,367 On Angel Island, ranger Casey Dexter Lee 38 00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:09,200 sifts through layers of history. 39 00:02:10,567 --> 00:02:13,100 One of the nice things about exploring around 40 00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,467 Angel Island, is even someone like me 41 00:02:15,467 --> 00:02:17,967 who's lived and worked here for 20 years, 42 00:02:17,967 --> 00:02:19,967 I'm still discovering new things. 43 00:02:21,567 --> 00:02:25,567 [Steven] The ruins here date back to the 19th century. 44 00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:28,467 With the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, 45 00:02:28,467 --> 00:02:30,000 public concern over the lack of defenses 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000 public concern over the lack of defenses 47 00:02:31,567 --> 00:02:33,900 in the San Francisco Bay continued to mount. 48 00:02:36,066 --> 00:02:38,200 [Steven] This is Camp Reynolds, 49 00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:40,700 a garrison for up to 700 men, 50 00:02:40,767 --> 00:02:44,166 It's the first military site to be built on Angel Island. 51 00:02:45,767 --> 00:02:48,867 [Casey] Camp Reynolds was built in 1863, 52 00:02:48,867 --> 00:02:52,967 to help as defense during the American Civil War, 53 00:02:52,967 --> 00:02:56,767 to protect San Francisco from attack from the Confederacy. 54 00:02:58,467 --> 00:03:00,000 [Steven] At first, Angel Island seemed like 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000 [Steven] At first, Angel Island seemed like 56 00:03:01,166 --> 00:03:04,100 one of the US Army's most desirable postings. 57 00:03:06,667 --> 00:03:09,567 [Casey] In 1864, there was an inspection 58 00:03:09,567 --> 00:03:13,767 and one of the people in that group was Mark Twain. 59 00:03:13,767 --> 00:03:16,300 And he wrote about Camp Reynolds 60 00:03:16,367 --> 00:03:18,967 calling it a pleasant little village. 61 00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:20,767 I can see that little village 62 00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:22,900 that Mark Twain was talking about, 63 00:03:22,967 --> 00:03:25,467 but this place has a darker side. 64 00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:30,000 As it turns out, soldiers posted here were sent off 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,200 As it turns out, soldiers posted here were sent off 66 00:03:30,266 --> 00:03:31,000 to some pretty awful combat. 67 00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:39,867 [Steven] When the American Civil War ended in 1865, 68 00:03:39,867 --> 00:03:43,100 soldiers stationed on Angel Island were looking forward 69 00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:44,867 to some well-earned respite. 70 00:03:46,867 --> 00:03:48,967 But it wasn't long before the threat 71 00:03:48,967 --> 00:03:52,667 of another chilling conflict rippled through their ranks. 72 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,166 As Americans were pushing 73 00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:57,967 further west and towards the pacific 74 00:03:57,967 --> 00:04:00,000 these tensions between Americans 75 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,667 these tensions between Americans 76 00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:01,000 and Native Americans grew violent. 77 00:04:03,467 --> 00:04:06,500 And this is known as the Indian Wars. 78 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,100 [Steven] Native Americans had attacked white settlers 79 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:13,266 who'd encroached on their lands. 80 00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:17,166 And by the 1870s, the US Government had forced them 81 00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:18,500 onto reservations. 82 00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,467 And the native people say enough, 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,367 and start fighting back. 84 00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:29,367 [Steven] For the two companies of the US Army 85 00:04:29,367 --> 00:04:30,000 based on Angel Island, 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000 based on Angel Island, 87 00:04:31,367 --> 00:04:34,500 it was only a matter of time before they were sent 88 00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:36,600 to keep the peace. 89 00:04:36,667 --> 00:04:39,967 They knew they'd pay the price for the invasion 90 00:04:39,967 --> 00:04:41,700 of Native American lands. 91 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:45,700 If you were a soldier sent to Angel Island, 92 00:04:45,767 --> 00:04:47,467 there was a pretty high probability 93 00:04:47,467 --> 00:04:49,100 that you were going to be sent to fight 94 00:04:49,166 --> 00:04:51,166 these warring tribes in the west. 95 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 And the troops here, you know, scouted 96 00:04:54,066 --> 00:04:55,800 provided guards and escorts, 97 00:04:55,867 --> 00:04:58,500 and generally patrol the American West 98 00:04:58,567 --> 00:05:00,000 during this tumultuous period. 99 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,567 during this tumultuous period. 100 00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:01,000 They would be sent wherever they were needed. 101 00:05:03,066 --> 00:05:06,200 Wherever there was an outbreak of fighting in the Indian Wars. 102 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,066 [Steven] And the men of Camp Reynolds 103 00:05:09,066 --> 00:05:10,867 knew what they were in for. 104 00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:14,000 [Geoff] It came with great dangers because, 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,467 these battles were fought viciously without quarter. 106 00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:20,100 So there would been high anxiety among troops here, 107 00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:23,400 wondering where they would be deployed and against whom. 108 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:29,867 [Steven] Over in Oregon, 109 00:05:29,867 --> 00:05:30,000 rebels from the Modoc tribe were refusing to stay 110 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000 rebels from the Modoc tribe were refusing to stay 111 00:05:32,967 --> 00:05:36,066 on a reservation far from their ancestral lands. 112 00:05:37,367 --> 00:05:40,800 They were led by a warrior named Kintpuash, 113 00:05:40,867 --> 00:05:44,000 known to the white settlers as Captain Jack. 114 00:05:45,266 --> 00:05:46,266 Captain Jack 115 00:05:46,266 --> 00:05:48,567 ended up fleeing the reservation 116 00:05:48,567 --> 00:05:50,700 that the US Government had placed them in. 117 00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:52,700 And they instead demanded 118 00:05:52,767 --> 00:05:55,600 to be reserved on their own land. 119 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,000 [Steven] Captain Jack wanted to return home 120 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,300 [Steven] Captain Jack wanted to return home 121 00:06:00,367 --> 00:06:01,000 to lands the Modoc had inhabited 122 00:06:02,767 --> 00:06:04,867 for 14,000 years. 123 00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:10,467 The US cavalry and a company of infantry from Angel Island 124 00:06:10,467 --> 00:06:12,567 were sent to defeat them in battle 125 00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:14,600 and drive them back to the reservation. 126 00:06:16,567 --> 00:06:19,667...
