Hell I was born and raised in Phelps County, and Outlaw Josey Wales was always one of my favorite movies, but never knew about Bill Wilson. Glad I came across this. And as far as most concerned thats why people from Missouri are still at war with Kansas. F@cking jayhawkers!
Joseph Kretschmer granny Hawkins . The end of the movie the town folk are calling Wales "Mr Wilson" the rangers think his name is Wilson and ride off. Clint must have known the real of the character.
In the film, Josey Wales (Eastwood) uses a false moniker ("Mr. Wilson") when he introduces himself to others he doesn't want to know that he is actually Josey Wales. Rather ironic that the real "Josey Wales" was actually named Wilson. Maybe that was intended in the script.
It’s so upsetting that history as truth isn’t taught, but turned into lies and hate for the Southern cause. Although we cherish our country now, back then it was the war of Northern aggression.
@Jack D. Ripper, Shove it up your ass buddy. Did you not watch the movie? It is based in fact. That's what this video is all about. And that fact is that the Union army came through Southern Missouri and burned totally innocent peoples homes down, raped their women and little girls, burned the elderly alive. THAT is the goddamned "Cause' Southerners fought for. This is known, but not talked about nor taught to kids in school. The truth is that 250,000 Southern men gave their lives fighting not to perpetuate slavery, but to try and protect their homes and families from an invading army full of arsonists, pillagers, rapists, and outright murderers of innocent women and children and elderly. This is why Confederate monuments exist...not to try and glorify slavery, but to honor brave men who fought for what was RIGHT.
Sterling Price anytime I get into a debate with some clueless damn Yankee about the reasons of the why the south rose up and fought back I tell them to watch the movie.
Please allow me to add my two cents to this. You use the disrespectful term BUSHWACKER. The ambush has been with us long before history was written. It was used by all military forces of the world and is still part of the training that soldiers receive today. it is a part of war. He was simply good at setting the ambush. and knew when to back off. A good soldier.
I think he did mean that old lady, the one with the granddaughter, who went on about Hoosers. Ending up in her sons cabin where they fight Ten Bears and his Braves.
If so that's a completely different actress (Paula Trueman) than the lady his listing her credits at the beginning. I think he researched his history well . Just not the movie so much.
Looks like Josey (Wilson) met the same fate as Jesse James: shot in ambush by a close associate. Guess this belies the state motto of "show me" in Missouri !
Good presentation. The movie is based on Forrest Carter's book, so the screen play is at least two steps from the original story. Who is Forrest Carter? Well, you are the historians, so that part is your homework. Hint: AKA Asa Carter.
The Union soldiers must've done "Bad things" to Mrs Arthur to the extent you didn't wish to mention them here: I can only imagine there was some sensitive people in the audience ?
They actually introduced this guy as a "famous speaker" ha..Ha. the man doesn't know shit. He can't even read the script in front of him. But I enjoyed the history of it all anyways. The movie is awesome. didn't know it was based on a real person.

I’m from Missouri. My third great-grandpa was a Confederate who was killed at The Battle of Wilson’s Creek.
No it wasn't the old lady from Indiana but the old lady in the rocker at the river who gets the supplies for Josie, especially the mustard poltice.

You don't even realize you are a slave to the government that is the successor of the Union.
Wasn't about slavery at all

That was what he was called back then. The speaker didn't name him that.
Bushwacker was a term used by federalist.
Granny Hawkins only had a short roll in the movie at first i though he meant the old lady from Kansas.
