Interesting story/biography to read is that of Annie Oakley or “Little Sure Shot” as Sitting Bull called her. She was a strong and smart woman. You will enjoy the read.
Seeing these photos reminds me of a trip my family took 2 yrs ago to a ghost town in California named Bodie. It was a boom town in the 1870’s after gold was located in the hills surrounding the town and is located in a desert at abt 8,000 ft in elevation. Most of the town burnt down in two separate fires, leaving only 250 buildings remaining and causing them to have to rebuild the stamping mill twice. Bodie’s Main Street used to have an estimated 50 bars located on it, which resulted in many gunfights between miners. Since it’s located in a desert, conditions were harsh. Summer temps often reach into the triple digits, while winter temps can fall into the negatives. Due to these conditions, many people, especially young children would die from diseases such as scarlet fever and pneumonia. The town was eventually abandoned in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s when gold mining was deemed as unessential for war efforts. If you ever find yourself in California and want to visit a historical place, I would highly recommend visiting Bodie.
Love to study the “Wild West”. I grew up watching westerns on tv. Reading as I have since then, I realize how much history they got wrong, left out completely, or embellished. Did you know that Seth Bullock was great friends with Teddy Roosevelt. When Seth died T.R. Erected a beautiful monument in his honor. Do you know what the “ dead man’s hand” was?? It was black aces and eights with disagreement on what fifth card was. I love history!, I think it is important to know where you have been to help prepare yourself for where you may be going. Do you know Doc Holliday gave up practice of dentistry? After caring for his mother he developed Tb like she had. At one point he was so bad he would up blood on his dental patients. You can imagine how quickly patients sought out another dentist!!
Lovely summary. The Wild West and Ancient Rome are my two favorite era. While most of the time i prefer written material I am an enormous fan of both tv series "Deadwood" and "Rome". While dramatic license was obviously taken at times they both did a great job of painting a more realistic picture of what it was actually like living in these times. We must look to the past to understand our present and future. The lessons are timeless. Best wishes and thanks for watching.
An absolute treasure trove ! It was every photo I've ever wanted to see of The Old West and clear as bells, all ! Just when I'd think I wish...there it was ! Thank you so much for your time and effort. I loved them. What a treat !
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Certainly sounds like you enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed researching and making it. We have seen many movies with these characters but sometimes forget they were real people. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching !
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos It was all my pleasure ! Again, thanks for your hard work. They came alive for me, as did the town pictorials. Watched it twice.
General consensus is he certainly had 2 Aces and 2 Eights… The fifth card however no one seems to know so naturally people default to a third ace. Most of the research mentions possibly the J or Q of clubs. But it’s not reliable and we'll never know for sure. Mind you, if ever draw Aces & Eights, I’ll probably just fold as not to tempt fate !! :)
During research we do tried to weed out questionable sources and images. Doc Holliday is a great example. Many of his images online are unsupported. It’s often difficult with historical photos but we do our best to get it right. Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing our efforts at authenticity.
Others to read about are Bass Reeves (my favorite lawman), Tom Horn, Buffalo soldiers and Alan Pinkerton. All special in what they had to give and made a mark on history.
You need Bass Reeves on there the best Lawman that ever lived, and that's been proven.The real Lone Ranger he's what the Long Ranger was based off of cuz it was so close to his real life.
Agreed, there’s so many more that could have been on there. I’d like to make a video just of the Wild West Lawmen, Sheriffs, Deputies, Marshall’s and Rangers. Added to the list !
I have another idea for you. There's a documentary on the Dulas of North Carolina very close to where Tom Dula was hung for a mistaken murder.Tom is my second cousin four times removed. He is better known as Hang down your head Tom Dooley,but in folklore. It would be nice to do the story on him,and how he was recently found the innocent sadly long after they hung him in 1868.
The picture is the correct original done using a process at the time called ferrotype which reversed the images. People did think he was left handed for a while. However Dedrick Ferrotype himself and several historians have since corroborated he was right handed. The photo is right and wrong in a way. It is the original, just using a process that tricked the eye.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos I know "William Bonney" is the name he used but wasn't his true name Henry McCarty? Great video and for once, didn't mind the accompanying music.
@@gregrambo606 Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video and music. You are exactly correct. Henry McCarty was his name at birth, Bonney was the pseudonym he went by. I only really had room for one of the two other names and basically tossed a coin… lol But, I would imagine very few people would have ever known him as McCarty.
Superb,rare,historic photos,and first rate piano music.
Thank you for your feedback. Very much appreciated.

Both the photographs and the piano are phenomenal together!
Thank you so much for you feedback
Amazing. A lot of lives cut short. Really enjoyed the music, too. 😊
Thanks so much!

Great pictures of the outLaws, very rear, and cool to see.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching !
Great video ! 👏
Thank you for watching ... and for your feedback.
Aces over 8ts. was called dead man hand after Wild Bill Hicock was killed during a card game with 3 Aces & 2 eights in his hand..
General consensus is he certainly had 2 Aces and 2 Eights… The fifth card however no one seems to know so naturally people default to a third ace. Most of the research mentions possibly the J or Q of clubs. But it’s not reliable and we'll never know for sure.

Thanks for gathering up these old photos and putting them together in 1 spot
Glad you enjoyed them!
Beautiful music. Great photos.
Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoy them.
Interesting photos. Some sites post old West photos of random people claiming they are outlaws or lawmen. This one doesn't.
During research we do tried to weed out questionable sources and images. Doc Holliday is a great example. Many of his images online are unsupported.

@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Good for you. History fan boys like me appreciate authenticity.

Really hard times fascinating 👍
Reminds me how lucky we have it when I'm making these videos.
Sicuri che quella era la fotografia di Ringo?
Amazing how many of the men only lived to their 30's and early 40's. Rough life.
Hard life indeed. Those that did make it to that age looked like they were in their 50's or 60's. !!!
I’m your huckleberry…
Billy the Kid photo is WRONG! He was right handed, not left.
The picture is the correct original done using a process at the time called ferrotype which reversed the images. People did think he was left handed for a while. However Dedrick Ferrotype himself and several historians have since corroborated he was right handed. The photo is right and wrong in a way.

Fun fact! The pic everyone has seen here of Billy the Kid is actually backwards.
Billy the kid was right handed ... so people claimed this photo was fake as he looked to be left handed ... The tintype process reversed it.
look darlin it's jonny ringo
Essas pessoas estão na eternidade agora todos nós um dia vamos ficar na história também😔
muito verdadeiro mesmo
Chilling?
Doc would cough up blood on patients. Addition to note below.
It was two aces and two eights
Correct. Many people think it was 3 Aces over 2 eights. However, the fifth card was never been confirmed.
Billy def looks like some Hills Have Eyes type
Awesome video!
Thank you for watching and for your positive feedback.
