Snelling & its link to Joaquin Murrieta slayer & Yosemite Valley Railroad

The town of Snelling was the first county seat of Merced County and it's filled with fascinating history.

One of the graves inside the Snelling Pioneer Cemetery is that of Charles F. Bludworth, the county's first sheriff who previously was hired by Captain Harry Love to hunt down legendary bandit Joaquin Murrietta in 1853.

This video includes visits to the 1857 County Courthouse and the site of the former train station for the Yosemite Valley Railroad.
