“That is our mayor, he is dead. He has been laying there dead for three days, no one has done a thing. Not moved him, not looked into his death, not even replaced him with a temporary appointee.

32:38 My 5th great grandfather was one of these guys. He was a German immigrant who served in the civil war and became a wealthy farmer in Kansas. He became a spokesman for “Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey” which cured not only his stomach trouble but was also advertised as a cure to “consumption, nervousness, typhoid, malaria, every form of stomach trouble, all diseases of the throat and lungs, and all run down and weakened conditions of the brain and body.”

I'm native American by blood, and got a long thick nose to prove it. So the way I see it eating meat is fine and all, as long as you give respect to the animal who died to give it. That means finishing your plate, not wasting food, not trying to burn it. That is one of the reasons I find the bison slaughter so horrific. Not just for the act, but for the waste of it all. Thank you for reacting to this video by the way. It is always a pleasure hearing your input.
@@muslim2k well that is more a matter of making sure the animal doesn't suffer Which I also agree with. I was more talking about not letting the sacrifice go to waste.
@@YukoValis i think in todays world more people would rather just give up meat than understand that you can eat an animal and still respect it if i was a cow id almost be offended by those plant based burgers
11:27 Fun fact: Another notable piece of domestic legislation passed during the Lincoln administration was the Morrill Act of 1862, which allowed for the establishment of "land-grant" public universities by giving over 10 million acres of federal lands to state governments. This land could, in turn, be sold to fund the construction of land grant colleges to educate each state's population. Land-grant universities such as Purdue University and the Ohio State University are the legacy of this piece of legislation.
I'd love to see you do a video going into depth about the transatlantic cables! It's crazy to think that in the 1850's we were capable of maintaining 2000+ miles of underwater cables.
I second this idea. I just found a fascinating video by Megaprojects (Simon Whislter) called "The Transatlantic Telegraph Cable: A Tale of Extraordinary Perseverance" and it is a wild story.
@VloggingThroughHistory While that's accurate, the story of the first lines being set is crazy and very interesting, especially considering the first communications by undersea cable were done in 1858, even though the cable failed after a few weeks, it still shows how crazy fast technology was moving then
My great great grandfather moved to Oklahoma around the time of the Wild West as a kid. He eventually met a Native American woman, fell in love, had a few kids. Then those kids moved back east and my part of the family is in Illinois. I'm planning on following in his footsteps and moving West to start my own family.
My great-grandfather was a coal miner in Kentucky. Lost his leg mining. To this day he’s buried on the edge of the cemetery down there, and just on the outside of the fence, his leg is buried. Back then it was just a potters field so there weren’t any barriers to follow and they established the edge without knowing about the leg.
Cemeteries in old mining towns are interesting. You can basically tell when accidents happened by the dates on the stones. Also the difference in styles due to the many nationalities who came to strike it rich make it really fascinating.
Used to watch 'Wild West Tech' on the History Channel and they said the actual most dangerous job in the West was Railroad workers.Never would have guessed that had the highest rate of injuries and deaths of any job then.
Gotta love how Alex (the video's character) was terrified at sending cows to the butcher, mining and prostitution but was super excited about shooting random dudes in the town square.
I was watching a documentary last night about the frontier and it mentioned the payment differences of a white cowboy, black cowboy and native American cowboy. So white cowboy is paid 1$ a day, black cowboy 75 cents a day, native American cowboy 15 cents a day while on their drive.
I think a lot of this is why corporal punishment was more prevalent in those days, too. When you live in a house made of dirt on the barren, windswept prairie, what leverage do you have over a misbehaving kid? Ground him and say "no backbreaking labor in the hot sun for a week!" I'm sure that'll learn him but good. Take away the stick he plays with? Forcing him to... presumably find another stick?
This is a good point. People look back on corporal punishment in horror but only in the past several decades do we have the luxury of punishments like grounding and time-outs. Back in the day there was work to be done and your kids had to help do it. Punishment for misbehavior needed to be swift and effective.
Like yours, my ancestors really didn't wander far. Pretty much just stuck to Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Missouri. But we did have a few who headed out to California for the Gold Rush. They also never returned.
Most people today forget that Back To The Future is a trilogy, with part 3 released a few later. So in 1990 people were watching a movie about going back to the 'present' Which was actually 5 years in the past.
Your rat story reminds me of when I went outside at 2am, in October, in Britain, in my underwear, with a crowbar cos I thought a girl was being attacked. Turns out foxes sound just like a woman screaming when they mate.
My public health professor when I was in Veterinary school had a a couple lectures in a row talking about common historical diseases spread by animals where one of the symptoms for every disease was dead babies. At the end of that very somber series of lectures he asked why the hell we want to go back to the good ol days.
Because nostalgia sorta glosses over the disease, death, lack of sanitation, wearing wool in 110 degree heat, life expectancy of 45 years (if you’re lucky) and an insane caste system in which you absolutely did not change classes. But other than that……
Nobody literally wants to go back to a time with high infant mortality. When people talk about the “good old days” they’re simply mourning the loss of the good aspects of those times, not the bad
There is a quote by Chruchill who praisd miners contribution (and risks) to the war and puts them on level with soldiers. Andrew Szydlo talks about this in on of his Royal Institution lectures.
I have an ancestor (3x Great Grandfather) who was a westerner. Samuel Johnson Evans lived in Red Lodge, Montana, between 1896 and his death in 1911. His father, John Burton Evans, was a veteran of the Mexican American War, encouraged his son to movie his family out west, beyond Indiana. It just so happened that the town he moved his loved ones to, Red Lodge, MO, was one of the last mining boom towns of the frontier & at it’s peak, had had 20 saloons and, as the records show, riotous and violent living was characteristic of the town. Their bank was robbed by members of Butch Cassidy’s “Hole in the Wall Gang” & their town marshal was the one & only, Jeremiah “Liver Eating” Johnson.
I know this is an old video but i just wanted to talk about the experience i had volunteering at my grandmas work. The pioneer village. And when there was events it really was a living breathing pioneer village. My mom volunteered in the general store and i volunteered in both the saloon and general store. Instead of alcohol the saloon sold orange cream soda, cream soda, and root beer. While the general store sold traditional pioneer toys and candy. And in the general store my dad played Santa when it was the Christmas event.
In Colombia, houses were also built in this way: unlike making mud walls, what was made was adobe bricks (bricks of molded mud dried in the sun) and the structures were reinforced with guadua, a local species of bamboo.
My third-great-grandmother moved to the Great Plains as a little girl with her German immigrant parents. Their first house was a sod dugout. She remembered instances of cows getting hooves falling through the roof. Most vividly, she told stories of prairie fires, and how the men would plow circles around their farms, and women would beat back flames with wet burlap. Sometimes coyotes and rabbits would run into the circles for safety.
That feeling when you like that he wears a Bundesliga jersey but also realise it's Hoffenheim (one of the 2 unpopular clubs because Hoffenheim has a more powerful owner similar to US sports clubs and Leipzig is just another Red Bull club)
@@baul997Perhaps it is because they are the German soccer teams that are most frequently present in the UEFA Champions League, Next to Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, etc.
@@drs-xj3pb Leverkusen is a different story. There the team formed out of employees got better and better. Redbull can open a factory and start the same thing, but I don't think they will come far with only employees for most of the way. And Wolfsburg is basically VW. And it's a company that's also partially state owned (the minister president of Lower Saxony has a seat on the board). Not 1 person
I think thats something that gets lost on a lot of Americans regarding US history is that for much of it Native tribes were basically under occupation. On the Navajo reservation for example you had Fort Defiance and Fort Wingate which had an active garrison up to the 1900s. In the 1880s a young officer Pershing would even be posted at Navajoland briefly. Though by then there wasn't really any war at all despite some sporadic fighting between White settlers in Arizona. Instead, soldiers like Pershing would end up participating in horse races and gambling card games which Navajos were really into back in those days. It was not always a relatively peaceful occupation, like the Apache for example. Even after the reservation boundary was established and treaties were signed, there was still a lot of conflict. Probably the most famous was Geronimo who jumped the San Carlos reservation and had not just the US Army but the Mexican Army chasing after him several times. He was the definition of madlad. A lot of Ute warriors in Colorado would also have trouble staying put and would get into skirmishes with settlers and the military up into the 1900s.
Death Valley being the hottest place can be debated. Near Janzour, a suburb of Tripolis, Libya, a temperature of over 58 degrees Celsius in Air temperature was measured in 1922, although the measurement is disputed, which is why Death valley officially holds the title at 56 Degrees measured in 1913.
8:29 slight correction, the transatlantic cable was finished before the civil war in 1858 and Buchanan and Queen Victoria sent each other among the first messages Also, so many disappointed dad faces in one video 🤣
Yeah but that one died almost immediately. I was talking about the permanent one in 1866. That's the year that permanent communication across the ocean was established.
33:45 Regarding the travelling salesmen and ailments that we don't have to deal with, things as simple as bottled water were sold by these people and it worked. Sometimes just drinking clean water would heal things. Also, i am the same way with not being able to eat things that i saw alive. i blame it on growing up in the city.
28:45 People really underestimate how hard it is to off an animal, especially a mammal like us. I swore up and down I'd cave the head of the rat that had been ravaging my kitchen for days, but when I actually caught it, I really can't do it. I did it anyway in the end because I didn't want it to suffer for two days before it died from starvation or whatever, but it wasn't a fun experience.
28:51 I can kind of relate too this. My after my first I came home and my Dad said he had a job for me. I went to my back door and there were at least 20 dead wasps in the ground. They were crawling in from under the door. My Dad handed me a fly swatter and told me too hold them back. Then he left for 4 hours. I was alone with the wasps going crazy. I was getting paranoid that they were crawling through the walls. When my Dad got home we gorilla taped the door and we gassed the wasps.
A series I think you, and a lot of people, will REALLY enjoy in extra history, policing London. I slept on it for a long while and it's one of my favorites. It tells you how they did 'policing' before and the twists and turns they had to do before they got the 1st official police force and it's honestly one of their best series and just naturally a bit funny (a long with the tulip mania one) please check that one out bc I would love to learn any more facts you have about the surrounding times or anything else you got!
I recently moved from LA to the high desert. This place still looks like the wild west, a lot of dirt trails. Plus markers about discovering gold and wagon trains in the 1800s. Really fascinating stuff.
My favorite piece Bluey has done to date- the animation is excellent and from what I’ve learned of the ‘Wild West’ is spot on- there’s so much more he theoretically could have added, but the video would be 10 days long.
That'd be awesome but the videos are typically 35 minutes long or longer, plus most of it is just comedy discussion between Ryan, the guest and The Professor. Might not make for great extended commentary for Chris
As someone who was born in Cali and raised in Sacramento, the wild west is a large part of our history. It always amuses me when people think about California and immediately default to surfer bros and Los Angeles. Most of the state is dirt roads, backwater towns and flat farm land. The North is trees and mountains. The Bay Area, San Diego, LA and Sac City are the exceptions to the rule. (This state has multiple distinct regions) but the flat dry land ties it all together
Yeah that happens. I live in truckee and drove to Minnesota on vacation in November. Lady asked me isn't it different from Los Angeles😂😂🤣😂 I had to explain I don't live in LA and get more snow than she does in Minnesota!
I actually took a family trip to the Golden spike location in Utah unfortunately we got there later in the day and they just put the trains away when we got there but its still a cool museum
You have no idea how much I squealed when you mentioned Hell on Wheels. That show is the definition of criminally underrated with very very little UA-cam coverage and it's a shame because it's one of the best post-Civil War shows to date. I would love for you to react to the show or make a video on the show and its historical accuracies.
i definitely feel for people living on the frontier but i’m from the east side of the country so my family has probably been living in houses not made of dirt for a while longer than people out west
18:31 ❤️ While I love my father very much, the story of the neighbor giving him a calf that’s mother died and the calf lost a leg in a late frost. My father as a young boy taking care of the cow that would follow him everywhere, until the day he tried to get him on a trailer for slaughter; followed by comments of the best beef he’d ever eaten. Takes a little of that love away.😅
I live in Pennsylvania and we have no reservations. When William Penn bought the land that is Pennsylvania today the Natives had a choice. They could leave or buy back land at the same price that it was sold for and they had a deed. In my home area there's still native families that still own land till this day.
Well i never imagined you wearing a Hoffenheim kit. For anyone who doesn't know that team, its a football (soccer) club in the first devision of Germany with one of the smallest, maybe the smallest fandom in the entire league.
Man, if chris read Steel Ball Run, he would be shocked that benjamin harrison wasn't the president, instead it's a funny man with a tendency to make people dissapear by trapping them between two objects.
4:24 As a Colorado native, it’s a shinning example of we made it this far but F that BS (settlers looking at the mountains from Colorado Springs/Denver) 😂😂😂
I thought that the days of the “Wild West” had ended around 1909-1910 when the Ford T began to become popular ... Or when It was made what is considered the first film of the western genre : “The Great Train Robbery” (1903)
I had to use slave schedules for a history course over Houston to attempt to decipher who owned who and what their day to day life would encompass. It was interesting to find the slave and the slave owner.
We butcher a cow for hamburger meat. And while there may be tears shed for her, they weren't from sorrow. AKA, she was ornery. Like the last one we had butchered who would bawl at the door of the barn and then run away when you opened the door to let her in. She also liked to nock the milker off and try and break it. Or try and relocate your knee with her hoof. I do understand how it can be hard to eat an animal you knew. Some of Shackleton's men had a hard time eating the dog meat after they had to kill them.
The faces Chris makes everytime something NSFW is mentioned is pure comedy

This is a good point. People look back on corporal punishment in horror but only in the past several decades do we have the luxury of punishments like grounding and time-outs.

It tells you how they did 'policing' before and the twists and turns they had to do before they got the 1st official police force and it's honestly one of their best series and just naturally a bit funny (a long with the tulip mania one) please check that one out bc I would love to learn any more facts you have about the surrounding times or anything else you got!
I recently moved from LA to the high desert. This place still looks like the wild west, a lot of dirt trails. Plus markers about discovering gold and wagon trains in the 1800s. Really fascinating stuff.
32:57 my 4th great grandfather John Austin Hamlin started Hamlin’s wizard oil! We still have posters and empty bottles of the stuff. Sorry about that…
My favorite piece Bluey has done to date- the animation is excellent and from what I’ve learned of the ‘Wild West’ is spot on- there’s so much more he theoretically could have added, but the video would be 10 days long.
I don’t remember seeing that episode on Disney+.
Chris’ reactions to the less family friendly parts of this video were priceless. Enjoyed this, though. Learning about history while having a laugh
Hello, Chris! Love your content. Wondering if you ever plan on reacting to Puppet History by Watcher?
I think that'd be fun
That'd be awesome but the videos are typically 35 minutes long or longer, plus most of it is just comedy discussion between Ryan, the guest and The Professor. Might not make for great extended commentary for Chris
As someone who was born in Cali and raised in Sacramento, the wild west is a large part of our history. It always amuses me when people think about California and immediately default to surfer bros and Los Angeles.
Most of the state is dirt roads, backwater towns and flat farm land. The North is trees and mountains.
The Bay Area, San Diego, LA and Sac City are the exceptions to the rule. (This state has multiple distinct regions) but the flat dry land ties it all together
Sacramento gang rise up!!!
Yeah that happens. I live in truckee and drove to Minnesota on vacation in November. Lady asked me isn't it different from Los Angeles😂😂🤣😂 I had to explain I don't live in LA and get more snow than she does in Minnesota!
When you live in Stockton or Oakland though 😱
19:57
I can't breathe, my stomach hurts of laughter because the face you made 😂😂😂😂😂
28:25 to 29:01 sounds like that was a core memory for him💀
That uncomfortable look on VTH's face at the blackface Trudeau joke.
I actually took a family trip to the Golden spike location in Utah unfortunately we got there later in the day and they just put the trains away when we got there but its still a cool museum
18:27 yep, duality of man right der 🤣
Another Bluejay reaction? Be still, my beating heart
Oversimplified reference?
You have no idea how much I squealed when you mentioned Hell on Wheels. That show is the definition of criminally underrated with very very little UA-cam coverage and it's a shame because it's one of the best post-Civil War shows to date. I would love for you to react to the show or make a video on the show and its historical accuracies.
i definitely feel for people living on the frontier but i’m from the east side of the country so my family has probably been living in houses not made of dirt for a while longer than people out west
I love those reactions, BlueJay is one of my favorite history UA-camrs so i really do enjoy the commentary
18:31 ❤️ While I love my father very much, the story of the neighbor giving him a calf that’s mother died and the calf lost a leg in a late frost. My father as a young boy taking care of the cow that would follow him everywhere, until the day he tried to get him on a trailer for slaughter; followed by comments of the best beef he’d ever eaten. Takes a little of that love away.😅
I learned from playing "The Oregon Trail" that traveling too long without water kills ya.
In Florida, you kill the roaches with lizards caught outside. Lizards get out of control, get a couple cats. Circle of life.
Cool on the Hell On Wheels reference. Great show and my history nerd self is rewatching the show for the third
Nice Hoffenheim jersey. One of the best home jerseys in the bundesliga this year.
Yes Chris, Markiplier does have an OF. All the income he gets from it go to charity though. So, it's not all bad
I live in Pennsylvania and we have no reservations. When William Penn bought the land that is Pennsylvania today the Natives had a choice. They could leave or buy back land at the same price that it was sold for and they had a deed. In my home area there's still native families that still own land till this day.
The Hoffenheim kit is CLEAN!
Well i never imagined you wearing a Hoffenheim kit. For anyone who doesn't know that team, its a football (soccer) club in the first devision of Germany with one of the smallest, maybe the smallest fandom in the entire league.
SO to Ashley from a New Albany, IN resident
This one is one of your funniest videos. Both the original video and your reactions are full of funny bits.
As a german i love that he is wearing a jersey from a german soccer club
Even though it's Hoffenheim?
@@VloggingThroughHistory one of my favorite clubs 👍🏽
28:49 chris has seen some things, what a trooper
29:30 If you watch Michael Cimino's "Heavens Gate", you can actually see that they did this in the movie.
Visit the Sierras! I live in Truckee and it's amazing
I’ve been to Truckee. Absolutely beautiful there.
31:55 “my cells hurt.” I die every time I hear that. 😂
Yeah that one was pretty good.
Man, if chris read Steel Ball Run, he would be shocked that benjamin harrison wasn't the president, instead it's a funny man with a tendency to make people dissapear by trapping them between two objects.
Texas gal here, we didn’t raise beef, but know people who did. You were here we are having blossom meat today. Yep cow named blossom.
I was always fascinated with your the wild West content the more the merrier
The wide-release of the Nintendo Entertainment System in the American market was in 1986.
4:24 As a Colorado native, it’s a shinning example of we made it this far but F that BS (settlers looking at the mountains from Colorado Springs/Denver) 😂😂😂
After playing Red Dead Redemption 2…I think I’m all set in wanting to live during this time period. Can only imagine living during peak outlaw era
Off topic VTH, There’s a new Napoleon episode out (Rivoli) by Epic History TV. I very much enjoyed that series if you’re doing another one!
03:38 he did say Arid, and it terms of aridness, the dryest (non-Polar) desert is the Atacama Desert 🌌
29:30
Well... i have wondered where "reading the room" came from. Now I know.
I thought that the days of the “Wild West” had ended around 1909-1910 when the Ford T began to become popular ... Or when It was made what is considered the first film of the western genre : “The Great Train Robbery” (1903)
There's actually a product to help your pet reptile if it is having skin issues called 'Snake Oil and Reptile Rub.'
17:55 made me think of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
I had to use slave schedules for a history course over Houston to attempt to decipher who owned who and what their day to day life would encompass. It was interesting to find the slave and the slave owner.
Hey S/O to the fellow Arkansas
I've never been to Death Valley though. My new home town is hot enough, I don't need to go somewhere else for even more heat!
Alex is the name of the character in the video it’s the same in the Victorian era video
a Hoffenheim jersey, how obscure...I approve
We butcher a cow for hamburger meat. And while there may be tears shed for her, they weren't from sorrow. AKA, she was ornery. Like the last one we had butchered who would bawl at the door of the barn and then run away when you opened the door to let her in. She also liked to nock the milker off and try and break it. Or try and relocate your knee with her hoof.
I do understand how it can be hard to eat an animal you knew. Some of Shackleton's men had a hard time eating the dog meat after they had to kill them.
Chris casually explaining bludgeoning rats and eating his friend cows like an animal Boy in The Striped Pajamas…
