    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Judge Holden picture is actually a picture of a british occultist named Aleister Crowley

    Then came the picture of crowley.

    I wouldn’t say that they came anywhere close to wiping out an entire tribe, the Apaches had thousands of people and were very warlike and difficult to ambush and catch off guard, from what I’ve read about them they did ambush a few villages and probably killed 100+ Apache, but that was a tiny fraction of the population. It seems most of the people they killed were innocent Mexican civilians as they realized they were much easier prey than the Apache. Overall good video though I learned a few new things!

      No, Young Guns centers around the Lincoln County War in New Mexico in the 1870s. There was a group of fighters known as the Regulators, of which Billy the Kid was a part, but those are two very different conflicts.

      The picture used in the thumbnail is Glanton I found it on the texas state historical associations website, the picture I use for the judge is not a real image of him as I was later told it’s a picture of a man named Aleister Crowley. The image used at 3:36 is a picture of some of the participants of the regulator moderator war. The image used at 8:10 is an illustration of the gang.

    I just want to explain the entire scalp thing and why both natives and whites scalped people they killed. The creator already does a great job just feeling there is some information he left out. (For the scalp economy that is very interesting).
    For the scalping it started way before Europeans first settled. Most cultures and tribes ranging from Texas to southern/mid Canada did it(except for inuits and the far northern tribes.
    Different tribes had different reasons for doing it. For example as far as I know in the great lakes it was a proof of a kill not just a economy it was proof of a warrior and only scalped strong warriors to "absorb" their strength by carrying a piece of them. For others it was more malicious, bodies needed to be whole to make it to the afterlife so they were stopping them essentially. Some warriors even decorated their bows and clothing with scalps.
    Because the practice was already adopted and some tribes would already be fighting they simply needed to ally themselves with the tribe giving them the least trouble and put a bounty on the opposing tribe and the natives during a time of war would gladly take the scalp and sell it for the bounty or in early days simply trade the scalp.
    There is a story of early settlement that goes like this. The British often traded with a specific tribe and were expanding into another tribes territory to expand their beaver trade. The tribe they were expanding into the territory of was giving them trouble and the Britishers allied tribe already had bad blood with that tribe. The British asked for help and were quite surprised when the next time the allied natives came they offered them scalps and body parts belonging to the rivaled tribe that was their custom after all to show proof of a kill.

      @@chelittle6433 from my understanding being raised Acadian and with Mi'kmaq, scalping existed before Europeans period. Mi'kmaq and other algonquian tribes practiced scalping in like 1700 before Texas or any of that lol so what are you talking about? My people were here before new York, Jamestown or Plymouth rock and they scalped people lol so what are you talking about the Dutch? You realize Metis are dutch/ french and native american people's they did not go around scalping native american we had good relations with them lol.
      Before the 1800's in Quebec during the beaver wars a french/ allied native american could kill and scalp an English or English allied native american and get a bounty for it 100's of years before people even made it to Texas or new York lol. Maybe you should review history because you have no clue what you are talking about.
