- In this video, we show you sights around Dodge City, Kansas.
Dodge City, in the 1800's, was known as "The Wickedest Little City In America", and "Queen Of Cowtowns".
It played an important role in shaping the history of the Old West.
Interesting place, lots of great memorabilia. Don’t know how you stood being out in that hot sun watching the gun fight, hope u had a cold water 😊 The museum was fantastic.
@@DonnaAnders-w4d We were actually under a shelter during the gunfight, but we were out in the sun at other points of the day. It was miserable. About 100 degrees.
But yes, a great place to visit.
Interesting to see all those old items. That was a huge wagon. Definitely bigger than most. The Winnabago in its day!
Yes, I couldn't believe that the wheels were as tall as I am.
Thank you for the tour of Dodge city! I read about Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson this morning. Both had varied and active careers. I can just say I’m glad I had a different career option without having to carry a side arm. 😉
I fully agree with you. Law enforcement is dangerous nowadays, but I guess it was back then, as well. I love reading about and learning about the old west.
You two did a great job touring this place I probably never get to go so I'm enjoying this a lot
So glad you enjoyed it. I did have to cut significant portions out of the museum part, or the video would have been very long, and I figured people wouldn't watch. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it and found it interesting. Dodge City is a very interesting and historical place.
Just came across your channel. I’ve watched a few videos and I love your boldness for Christ! New subscriber from NC!
We appreciate that so much! Thank you for your kind words.
I loved this video. I really enjoy history. That was very cool. Wyatt Erp , Doc Holliday are legendary. I enjoyed seeing Dodge City and Boot Hill. I really like history. The gun fight was fun to watch. I betvyou felt like you were on the set of Gunsmoke. How cool this was. Thsnk you for bringing this "wild west" adventure to us. Loved every minute of it. Can't wait to see what's next on your road adventure.
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, the history here is very interesting. We've wanted to come back here for years.
Looks like fun i love to watch all the old western on TV enjoy your trip and stay safe God bless you both
I love the old westerns, too. Thanks so much for commenting.
Ruth, did you watch "big Valley"?
Really enjoying this roadtrip. I love museums and tours! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your travels!!!
You are so welcome. We appreciate you watching.
This was a great and interesting video tour of old west Dodge City. My dad watched old west movies and TV shows when I was a kid. He liked John Wayne westerns and then Clint Eastwood movies the most. I like the movie Tombstone and the two Young Guns movies the most myself and the TV shows Bonanza and Gunsmoke starring James Arness.
Thank you so much for watching, and we are glad you enjoyed it. I also love those old westerns.
Have you seen "Gunfight At The OK Corral", with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas? That is probably my favorite western of all time.
@@NCMemoryMakers Yes I've watched that movie a few times and it was pretty good but was inaccurate and the movie Tombstone changed things too but Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp had a big moustache in Tombstone but Burt Landcaster was clean shaven and I think he should've worn a fake moustache at least and he had a northeastern accent. Kirk Douglas had a moustache at least.
@ronsandgren1 Yes, I think pretty much all movies take some liberties with accuracy. I just liked the acting in it, and the theme behind it. And also the scenery.
@@NCMemoryMakers That's true and that movie was a pretty good movie anyway with good acting.
This video, you learn a lot of history. Very interesting. Looks like fun. ❤❤😊
Yes, very interesting.
Tombstone, Arizona comes to mind. I'm sure there are many more.
My husband and I have been there when he was driving long distance in a tractor trailer ..We went to that steak house there and we went up to boot hill and that steak house had the BEST ribeye steak we had ever ate …Dont know about now but back 15 years ago it was the best ❤️😋😋
Wow, that's really neat, that you went to the same steakhouse that we ate at. Glad your experience was as good as ours was.
I love Gunsmoke!!
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome
Johnny Mercer wrote a song about the Atchison Topeka and Sente Fe railroad.
I'll have to look that up and listen to it.
thanks
@@sshibad You're welcome.
You guys should of went to cow town in wichita we have a good old town there better than that they have shoot outs there to?
@berry6046 There's always something else that we "should've" done. We landed in Wichita at 11:00 p.m., and left the next morning for Dodge City.
Maybe next time.
@@NCMemoryMakers Just saying
it pretty cool
we even get people from all around on halloween they think some houses are haunted we get them here every year filming preety cool take care!
Have fun be safe
Thank you!
best eye remember there is a LARGE cattle feed lot. Much larger than any cattle feed lot in NC or TN...!!
That is correct. There is a huge cattle lot right on Highway 50, right before you enter Dodge City.
There's also one west of Dodge City, that is the biggest I've ever seen. It's actually a good bit west, but I can't recall the town that it's near right off hand. Maybe Garden City.
Between 1875 and 1886 4 million long horn cattle. That is awesome considering the population of America was only about I think 30 million around that time.
Yes, that's very interesting to know. Thank you for sharing that.
Tge "wicketest little city? I that was Las vegas?
Pay attention to what was actually said. I said in the beginning, "USED TO BE CALLED the wickedest little city in America".
In the description, it clearly said "IN THE 1800'S, WAS KNOWN as The Wickedest Little City in America".
Also, Las Vegas has a population of over 600,000 people. That is hardly a "little city".
Favorite episode was called Chester He learned about women. Chester runs into some comanchers. He met a girl he fell in love with. Chester is my favorite .
Lots of great Gunsmoke episodes! A classic TV show!
Thanks so much for watching!
Liked but couldn't hear you good at all!
@@sandydies7465 Sorry about that. Thanks for watching.
