    Hi,hello from Yorkshire, England! Your video came up unexpectedly on my phone this morning, so glad it did, I found your presentation informative , calm and relaxing to watch.I love learning about the history of the British Isles, but I am aware that the USA also have a rich history and many , many stories about the past. My dad used to take me and my brother to watch " westerns" at the cinema, and so this part of your history is very interesting to me, especially as I am aware of the people you may speak of.I look forward to watching your channel, thankyou for your calm delivery, I'm 64, and cannot be doing with all the over excited, whizz bangs that seem to go along with watching some presenters. Wishing you peace, Inger Romantico

    Thank you for doing this video. I took my kids to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and we stayed a night in Deadwood at the Bullock Hotel. It was a fantastic experience. We also visited the graves of Wild Bill, Calamity Jane and Bullock himself. I wish I had done more research so that I could visit this grave that you highlight. And if you are up for a spooky night, stay at the Bullock Hotel. It is definitely haunted.

    Extraordinary! The social history of America is endlessly fascinating to me, even as a British national living in the UK. I've been lucky to travel all over the country, and lived in NYC for a couple of years, but the West is the bit I find most absorbing. Europeans heading west across unknown and sometimes impossible terrain in intolerably hot or cold weather, occasionally assailed by the indigenous people, more often than not no proper law enforcement (like today actually!), it is incredible that we can all follow historically significant events that happened so relatively recently. This story is phenomenal, and it's great that you've explained it clearly and highlighted it here.

I hope more people get interested in this kind of thing. As I am fascinated by Wild Bill this was a great watch, so thank you.

      People have been executed for the entirety of our existence. Nothing deters violence. It's programmed into us. We have more people in prison than any other country. That never stops people from doing what they want to do. My two best friends growing up were involved in "law inforcement". One retired the county sherrif and the other retired as a prison warden "I retired from the US Army". They say there are too many things we can't controll in the human mind. There is no way to prevent people from hurting people.

    Thank you for historical corrections I needed. I didn't know Jack made it to Yankton. I was told the minute he shot Wild Bill, he was angrily grabbed up by a mob, taken to a quickly-convened court, immediately found guilty, and hung, all right there in Deadwood. That telling did include him buried with the noose in place, but your finding Jack in Yankton serves to correct legend and establish history. Another of your great ones.

    I lived in Yankton for 10 years during my college days. I graduated from Yankton College which is now a minimum security Federal Prison Camp after closing as a school in 1984. Later the BOP purchased the property and converted it to the prison that exists today.
    When I first arrived in Yankton in the late summer of 1970, there was a small brass plate on the side of the Gurney Hotel that commemorated the site in downtown Yankton where the hanging of Blackjack McCall took place!
    I don’t know if that plaque is still there but I’ll check for it the next time I’m in town for a college reunion.

    This photo was most likely taken from his first burial, because he wouldn’t have been hung in those clothes. The rope may or may not be authentic but if the undertaker had the presence to take a photo, he had the presence of mind to add the rope. Probably sold the pictures as post cards.

Many years ago my Aunt (mothers sister) went on a historical fact finding adventure to verify that we Hickok are blood related to The Wild Bill Hickok . She was successful in verifying that which was a incredibly difficult and time consuming effort for her since this all happened before the internet. Needless to say, your video has special significance to me. I already knew this story but was excited to see someone posting about it on UA-cam. Thank you for your interest and efforts.

    Thank you for telling this story, Ron, and reminding us to be mindful of justice for ALL murderers, sometimes swiftly in this world, but more importantly, for CERTAIN, in the world to come. The BEST story is The Word of God, where God promises that NO murders will gain eternal life, but will be where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched! There's NO hiding place down there!
    Thanks again, Ron, for reminding us of ultimate justice.

    That’s my ancestor. My mother’s last name is McCall. We have the family tree going back all the way to the mayflower. John “Jack” McCall or Crooked Nose Jack as he was called, is on that tree. A lot of us ended up in Fresno California, Texas and Tennessee from what I know.

    As usual, great story Ron. Maybe you mentioned it, if you did I missed it. What year did they exhume his coffin? The body seems well preserved if he had been buried for a number of years. Or perhaps that was a picture taken before he was buried the first time?

    • @seerstone8982

      I doubt that he was embalmed, so this pic was probably shortly after the hanging.

      @@seerstone8982I am not sure what year this happened but embalming became common during the 1860’s of the Civil War years so Jack McCall could very easily been embalmed.

    Interesting history . What an ungrateful man , when Wild Bill had tried to help him out . I noticed this was the same year as the Little Bighorn debacle , with Custer and the 7th Cavalry getting turned over by the Sioux and Cheyenne .
