Ever heard about ordinary homesteader Jim Milton? Or maybe you know him better as John Marston. Heard he was an outlaw that tried to live an honest but was strong armed to work for the law and hunt down his former accomplices before the law turned on John. He truly was a Legend of the West
Just way to interesting, love all your history videos. Really like the ones about specific years gone by. I was born in 46 and love going back, keep up the great work!!!
To my knowledge, as repeated to me time and time again throughout my childhood, my great-great aunt was one of Pancho Villa's wives. At my grandparents' house there were numerous photos and clipped newspaper articles about the infamous revolutionary. The validity of this historical relationship, I can't say for sure, but being that I had no idea who he was when I was a child, I figure my family had no reason to falsely make such an incredible claim, and it is entirely possible given the known history of my family tree.
Same here. Apparently my older step brothers' maternal grandma was the daughter of Villa and one of his concubines. Which is possible since Villa had been marauding the region in between Chihuahua City and the city of Cuauhtemoc, plus where the Sierra Madre starts. And that's where my family on my mother's side and my grandparents on all sides originate from. So it's possible at a good percentage of the Chihuahua population (including myself) carries Villa DNA. Talk about genetic diversity.
@@rockoorbe2002 diversity indeed. Yeah, he was all over the place and had either 3 or 4 "legitimate" wives. lol. Along my family tree, both of my paternal grandparents are first generation born in USA, Southern California region.
History is very important. It shows how far we have come and unfortunately shows us where we've made mistakes. Unfortunately we as humans don't look far enough back in time so we don't repeat our mistakes.
@@GreyTapez alit of society ignores the past. I didn't say everyone. Man what's wrong with you having a stupid attitude like that? You get easily triggered
@@GreyTapezyeah most likely due to knowing history? As the phrase goes, “those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it” so good on you for not making historical mistakes, considering that said mistakes have already been tried. Maybe you can go to another video and flex your perfection there
Very interesting I love ❤ history. One of my favorite subjects. My Great Grandfather was in the Mexican Revolution with Poncho Vera. Thanks for sharing excellent job.
Fun Fact: Nacogdoches county, pronounced locally as Nahcadotches, encompassed most of East Texas prior to 1870s. So in 1912 when Spradley became US Marshall of Nacogdoches County, the county had already gone through many changes and has the boundaries as they are today. Counties I can think of that came from Nacogdoches are Harrison, Gregg, Upshur (where I live), Smith, Rusk, Panola, Marion and Cass counties. Huge area full of outlaws and Indians prior to the Civil War
@@dkroberts1163 nice! I’ve been through your area a few times. Namely Trinity and Lovelady. I know a fair bit of our local history. More so of the northern Sabine River valley tho
@@HateTheGameTX I just recently drove through those towns and stayed in Crockett at my buddies house on a bunch of land. Driving through that town was like being in a time machine I'm tellin ya. I'm from brazoria county which has its own fair share of rich history as well.
@@robertmitchell776 basically all of Texas is rich in history. My favorite of course is East Texas history which is quite significant to the history of the US. Brazoria is a coastal county right?
Please do a video on BILLY THE GHOUL. I live in ABERDEEN,WA and in the 1800s we were the most dangerous town on the West Coast and Billy was a NOTORIOUS outlaw and murderer. I'd love to see your level of information done on him
Please make a video about Emma Goldman! Also, I thought you guys would mention Frank Abagnale, but he's been talked about a lot so this was cooler even though all people weren't new to me.
I'd love for you to do a video on Diogo Alves! He supposedly killed 70 people in three years in Portugal and ended up with his head in a jar. 😳 I can't find a decent video on him. 9:38 "Their state bird is the electric chair" 😆 oh man!
Maybe the most celebrated was Frenchman Vidocq in the 19th century, but has been the subject of several films so maybe that is why you left him out. It might be that you would be interested in survivors, those who were able to change sides with the political winds. They completely changed sides more than once. Police director in France, Joseph Fouchet, between the 18th and 19th centuries comes to mind.
Continuing a Gangs of New York idea sequence! Thinking about the fourth idea*†...while watching this Weird History video! * Inspired from the Weird History video "The Real Five Points, The Neighborhood That Inspired 'Gangs of New York'" † Let's Go!
The guy from the Pagans MC reminded me of a documentary I saw about a dude named Andrew Glick, another Pagan who became an informant for the FBI. It's called "Doctor's Orders" and it's a pretty wild story if anybody wants to check it out
Finally watched *grapes of wrath*, everyone should have a report on what they think about those problems. It all comes down it's one thing-blame it on the wind.
I remember hearing of a story of a saint who started out as a bandit but was caught trying to rob a Coptic monastery. The monks were so nice that he devoted his life to Jesus. His name was Saint Moses of Abyssinia. And this is just one of many stories of how outlaws and scoundrels turn their life around and became an example of living for God. Saint Nicholas of Myra(yes Santa) and many other saints were previously pirates. Christianity is choke full of these stories, especially if you are Orthodox or a fan of the pope or some fat guy who divorced and remarried 1000 times.
Billy the Kid Briefly served as a Deputy, the Lincoln County Regulators WERE Legally Deputized Law Enforcement, Legally by 19th century standards anyway
I live in Jersey, a tiny island between England and France. There are old stories of how the King of France sent Eustace the Monk to terrorise the Channel Islands, who were in an awkward situation of having to choose to pledge their loyalties to either England or France. England, according to legend, captured the sons of our leader at the time and so we capitulated to the English and that's why Jersey and Gurnsey are both 'Crown Protectorates' of England today.
Jesus Christ, this couldn't be further away from the truth. That song was about dictator *Victoriano Huerta* after he conspired with the American Ambassador in Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, to overthrow and assassinate Madero. The song was popular *amongst Villist forces* against the new shortlived dictator, and poke fun of his well documented habits of drinking and smoking marijuana. It's succinctly *NOT about Pancho Villa.* Jesus, what one has to read sometimes.
@@danidavis7912 No, the Steve guy is absolutely wrong. The song is about Victoriano Huerta, a traitorous mexican dictator that rose up in the midst of the convoluted mess that was the revolution. He didn't rule for long and the infighting continued after he was gone.
Soooo disappointed in the sponsor. CleanMyMac does none of the things it claims, and causes more issues than it’s worth. Macs don’t need extra security software.
It's pronounced "Nac-o-doe-chez". I don't blame you though. Only those of us from there or that area can properly pronounce it and know the indian legend behind the name.

It was cool to hear about Nacogdoches texas. Ivan Tyler Texas not too far

There was 2 different Pancho villa. The first was the thief and the 2nd is the one in photos
My dirty mind is laughing at the title lol
An ad on a weird history video is weird

Ever heard of Australian bushranger Ned Kelly? Quiet the outlaw he was with the final shoot out with police wearing his infamous armour. 😁

The one that surprised me the most was how Louis VIII was a dead ringer for Louis XVIII.

As a fun fact Pancho Villa is also known as one of the if not the only man to have successfully invaded the US, only one town though

@Marlene Mejia nah he didn’t work for the law
You should rename this" weird americsn history"!!!
Put some aussie stuff on

1. John Marston
Going from a biker to a cop? Small gang to big gang? Stoolie
Don't forget John Marston, even though the law backstabbed him in the end.
I mean, by now we know of all the attrocities that Pancho Villa commited, it's questionable how much he fought for "Mexico and his people"
not weird
Why don't you do some native American history
