I can say this.. My husband is related to John Wesley Hardin. Through his Mom's side. So I always find it interesting when he is mentioned for deadliest Gunslingers... So thank you for putting him on this list!!
On my Daughter’s Dad side they are supposed to be kinned to him. Her Great-Grandfather was named Hardin Robert Ellison but changed it to Robert Hardin cause he didn’t want people to know that he was kinned and named after John Wesley Hardin
My maiden name is Hardin. I’m also a descendent of John Wesley Hardin. My Grandfather’s pictures look almost identical to pictures of John Wesley. My grandmother showed me old pictures of John Wesley that she and my grandfather had. It was pretty cool to see the comparison between him and my grandfather and how closely they resembled each other.
Yup. And that's coming from a guy who wasn't actually a gunfighter: Wyatt Earp. His friend Doc Holliday was, but even he occasionally missed his target when he fired. Of course in Hollywood movies like "Tombstone" and "Wyatt Earp" Holliday never missed his mark. Not true.
@@thomasromano9321Well said Thomas. A verified kill shot by Earp from 75 yards I am guessing pretty much put a mix on very many direct one on one confrontations for Wyatt? Fascinating times. Perhaps we were there in a previous incarnation??😮
@@ChaoticOmega No doubt. That ain't me, unfortunately. I am spray and pray. Tons of practice, practice, and a steely mindset are required. "Pistol Pete" was both fast and accurate, so it is said. He was cross-eyed and hence shot from the hip with deadly accuracy. As a youth he outshot adult military. Thanks for the note C.O.
Earp was a back shooter and robed folks around own Lot of crap said about him how good he was a low life movies gave him a name that is all do your research
True enough. Holliday never thought he'd be dying in a hotel, (No, he didn't die in a hospital in Glenwood Springs) and in bed, and thought it was funny that he was. Unfortunately what happened in the movie "Tombstone" when a tearful Wyatt Earp visited a dying Doc Holliday in the hospital never actually took place. Of course, that's the ending between them that we all would have wished for, but sorry, folks, that's not history. The reality was that Holliday (who was a racist Southerner) called Earp a "Jew lover" because his girlfriend Josephine Marcus was Jewish. Wyatt Earp never spoke to Doc Holliday again, and only found out about Holllday's death months later. Also, narrator, if you're going to do a presentation like this, don't make things up. You're pissing off some people here whose knowledge of Western history is better than yours.
In the dusty canyons, where echoes persist, Whispers of gunslingers, a tale to enlist. Top 12 deadliest in the Old West's domain, A poem unfolds, where legends remain. Number twelve draws, like a venomous snake, In the sunset's glow, a reputation to make. A gunslinger's prowess, in the western breeze, A story begins, with the rustling trees. Number eleven, quick on the draw, In the saloon's shadow, a chilling law. The Old West echoes with each swift strike, In the tales of gunslingers, where legends hike. Ten and nine, a duet of fate, On the frontier's edge, where shadows conflate. Bullets and whispers in the tumbleweed's dance, As gunslingers carve their deadly romance. Eight and seven, a deadly embrace, In the card games of life, each a high-stakes chase. Old West's canvas painted with lead, In the legacy of gunslingers, where stories are bred. Number six, with a steely glare, In the ghostly canyons, a name to declare. The deadliest draw in the tumbleweed's spin, A gunslinger's saga, where the tales begin.

In the dust and the echoes, the legends persist, Top 12 deadliest, in the Old West's twist. Gunslingers' tales, a poetic ride, In the history's canyons, where legends abide.
This is a finely crafted poem. It is good to see the use of both internal and end rhyme, and the repetition of words or phrases, in addition to other well-established poetic techniques. Your words paint pictures, and this was an interesting read--certain words lingering in the mind.
The face-to-face gunslinger shootout actually very rarely took place in the Old West. Most of the people were shot in the back. The gunfighter face-to-face shootout is a mostly Hollywood concoction. And another Hollyweird (as I call Hollywood Westerns) thing: gunfighters most certainly would not have fired their guns from the hip, you couldn't hit a barn door doing that! They would have had to draw and sight quickly along the barrel. I find it annoying as hell that whenever there's a Hollywood western depicting the gunfighters, for example Doc Holliday, he always got someone killed with every shot. Nonsense. It is well-known that Holliday could draw and fire fast, but sometimes he completely missed his target. Well, no doubt that wouldn't have interested audiences as much as a deadeye shootist. No doubt gunfighters like Clay Allison, John Wesley Hardin, Wild Bill Hickok and Tom Horn were indeed dangerous men with firearms, but sometimes it's greatly exaggerated by the Hollywood myth. Would have liked these pictures better if they weren't Hollywood Westerns but real photos from the Old West.
You must have seen that wyatt earp documentary by a bunch of raging libs. Back in that day people literally lived by the gun. A gun was an extension of their hands from young children on. I do agree that the face to face fights weren't very common but you get 2 drunk guys, for sure it would have happened. And it was legal too so long the other guy consented and was armed.
You have to understand one aspect of this as these were real men, going about their day-to-day lives. All men carried guns 🔫 in the Old West, and naturally some were better than others. They didn't go around trying to seek out one another for a gunfight. Most of their altercations happened on the spur of the moment.
No, beatch, I'm not from a city. I grew up in the country and could put a 30-30 round in a squirrel's brain at 100 💯 yards by age 12. I have been handling firearms since I was a boy 👦. Sidearms are also something I keep with me in my travels around my homestate of South Carolina. My people were and are a canny folk used to making do living off of game and fishing 🎣. What's your story? Mine is simple, I had kinfolk who're contemporaries of Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton. Longhunters were the precursors to mountain ⛰️ men.
trying to find out more about Port Stockton after hearing the Vufcup song of the same name, but nothing yet though wow this was a really interesting video!
My dad was from Oklahoma and would occasionally say bury me with my boots on for some reason. After he died DNA tests showed he wasn't really a cowboy and an Indian.
10 paces in the street? Nobody said that. Gunfights were usually 3’-4’ apart, one man loses it & shoots the other. The closest you get to a pace down is one man said to the other ‘I’m gonna get my gun’ & when he returned one of them died.
Billy the kid was not a ruthless killer he apparently only killed four men and not many others or 21 (one for each year of his life) as some people have said. Billy and Pat Garret were not friends, they just knew each other, but no friendship there, just knew each other like anyone can know their neighbours. Jesse James wasn't no wild west Robin hood, he didn't rob from the rich and gave to the poor, the only time he gave money away was to pay the person or family that helped him hide and fed him and his gang after they had committed a robbery, but no giving to the poor, just paying for their help he kept all the money and shared it out between himself and gang members there's also a story that Jesse and gang was given food and a place to rest by a widow and that the following day when the land owner came to get paid rent for the land and house , the lady didn't have the money and she was about to get chucked out Jesse decided to paid it for her, but this hasn't ever been proven. So, no wild west Robin Hood here I'm afraid even though it does sound nice. As you were talking about deadly wild west gunslingers, you could of have also mentioned Tom Horn.
I find it comical that they keep saying they weren’t fast guns when all over the internet today there are all kinds of civilians military police that practice getting their guns out in a gun fight so in the 1800 they probably could do the same thing
Bass reeves was the original "lone ranger". A lawman and American hero. Orrin Porter Rocwell was a lawman in utah. He killed 450 "badguys" , whites , hispanics and native americans. Rockwell was fast wirh a gun and had multiple guns on him to where he could shoot over twenty times before needing to reload. He was fearless, and He was a "supernatural tracker" .In about 100 shootouts he was never wounded , he died of a heart attack while putting his boots on to catch some desperado...I would be be suprised if he isnt in Hell . Killing that many people without a "mistake" is hard to imagine. Rockwell and Bass Reeves are the two Heros out of the 12 listed .
More than a few of these "outlaws" at one point or another became lawmen . Wild bill, Wyatt Earp, John king fiaher, bass Reeves and on. Some say the lone ranger is based on bass Reeves, he even arrested and brought in his own son. I'm guessing people figured it was easier to pay the best to protect them rather than against them. More than a few got shot in the back of the head, maybe so feared enemies knew they couldn't win face to face.
Because you are to much of a pussy to take part I guess. So you rather watch brave men kill each other for your entertainment…a pussy and a sadist, classic bad guy behind the desk traits.
Through my mothers side of the family, I am related to Jesse James. (my grandmother's name was Rachael Dewdrop James) I was told stories about my grandmothers mother helping Jesse and his brother hide under hay and piles of wood from the lawmen after them, by my grandmother. It would have been interesting to have met him and hear the story from his side of it.....
A lot of innacurate information here, HISTORY records " Billy The Kid" as a sadist and not a helpful boy at all, who took pleasure when he killed, Wild Bill..or James Hickock, they ommit he was a lawman who tamed many a town and erased the baddies, The story in this doc of Hickock and Machandles is also tainted as there were 3 against one with te Machandles instigating the fight, Hickock is a much maligned figure , who in context of his times and place was a good man.
Billy the kid is recorded as a man who was “tough but not mean”. Who “would kill, but wasn’t a killer”. Where the hell u get this info abt Billy being a sadist?? Literally never read or heard that anywhere…
Qhere the hell did YOU get your information from? B the K was a murdering SOB and it is DOCUMENTED. His angeleic moments were in you dreams, nor was he "tough" a defintie sadist and why dont YOU publish YOUR reference as to where YOU got your information from and then I will publich MINE! @@ethansmith1997
My favorite Wild West gunslinger or lawman is Wild Bill Hickok. As a kid I had book about him that has since gotten lost… but I’ve found the same book online but haven’t bought it yet… when I do there more books that would be cool to get.. Joseph G. Rosa was a person that wrote many books about Wild Bill Hickok….. The story about his life is is the ending of his life…. His eyesight and also shooting his friend that got caught in between him and a guy he was shooting at…. And from there he started getting more into gambling which having a name like he did wasn’t a good thing… and unfortunately having his back to the crowd….
I really wanted to watch this video! But the amount of commercials that were in it was utterly disgusting four separate commercials within 3 minutes of the video.... Unfortunately I won't be following this gentleman
acers and eights, any western historian should know that that it was only a myth and no one recalled what cards Bill actually had. Aces and Eights was a movie thing that started some time in the early time of silent movies.
If you go to Deadwood, and go the saloon where Wild Bill was shot, you will see above the door there are cards posted above the doors . Aces and eights.
you will not find a thing from the actual time period that states what cards he had. it was not tell some time later that they came up with aces and eights and that is fact@@thomasdugan2041
As Wild Bill Hickok’s body lay slumped over the poker table, another poker player, Neil Christy, retrieved Hickok’s cards from the floor and spread them out on the table. They were ace of diamonds, the ace of clubs, both black eights, and the queen of hearts with a smear of Hickok’s blood on it. Other stories reported that Hickok’s hand included both black aces and both black eights, along with the queen of hearts, but historians believe that the suit of the ace of diamonds was changed to the ace of spades because the ace of spades is a card that has long been associated with death.
Who edited this video? Why are you showing clips of Gary Cooper in High Noon and John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn when you’re talking about Jim Miller? At least have the cuts follow the narration, this is a poorly done video
The real life exploits of Mr Bass Reeves laid the foundation for what would become the syndicated tv show "The Lone Ranger". Never heard anything about Tonto.
It was mentioned in this video that HARDIN killed Comanche deputy... Wrong... The deputy was from neighboring county, BROWN COUNTY, BROWNWOOD TEXAS, my home town. When the deputy tried to arrest HARDIN in a saloon in Comanche, JWH, shot him dead. That deputy is interned in GREENLEAF CEMETERY in BROWNWOOD, on HWY 377 SOUTH, HE was Brown counties first deputy sheriff
That thing about Wild Bill Hickock holding what is now known as a Deadman's hand apparently isn't true, those they were cards on the floor when they came to pick up Bill's body, but during the scuffle of the shooting others had also dropped their cards so nobody really knows if those were Bill's cards or even if they were part of someone's hand as there were other cards close to them to and nobody knows which were together as a hand, but as it sounded as a good story they stuck with, but like I a said apparently not true or not a hundred percent true that rhey were his or all part of the same hand of cards.
@@xxcensorxx9724 if you’re going with fictional gunslingers „The man with no name“ and „Nobody“ are the best. If you’re going with real gunslingers John Wesley Hardin, Clay Allision, Bill Longley, Deacon Jim and King Fisher were the best.
Ringo killed himself, and Wyatt was proven to be 500 miles away and Doc Holiday was in a hotel, dying from tuberculosis, and they have been accused of killing Ringo also. No, Ringo killed himself he was drunk and probably quite depressed and that is why he just ended it all. He had tied his boots on his horse and the horse ran or wandered off, that is why he didn't have his boots on and it would have been quite hard to walk on the rough ground. I have read a lot of history and listen to a lot of history videos.
Supposedly, Billy Claiborne's dying words were that Frank Leslie (that man who fired the bullet that would soon kill Billy) killed Ringo and that he (Billy) saw him do it.....
Tom Horn was a paid killer, who shot people from ambush at a distance. He was hung for killing the wrong man, who was really a 14 year old boy. I'd say that makes him a murderer...
A lot of people of think Hardin got off easy and he did get away with some things that he probably should have been hung for. But look at it this way he got 25 years for shooting someone that had already shot him in the back
Well Mr. History let’s see you fact video and see how much you get right. Half the shit was probably false stories from the beginning anyway, just folk tales told to make “a name” for the last generations, how the world still works til this day.
Yeah, these pistol duels in the old west style movies never actually happened. There’s never been a proven event of that type in the history of the American old West in the way that it has been portrayed in Hollywood films most of the time gunslingers shot each other in the back or While they were sleeping or something of that nature. If somebody made a movie about the real old West, you probably wouldn’t recognize it as being real. Regardless of what people would have you believe there were laws backed in and not everyone carried weapons and in most towns or townships as they were called back then they had mandates that prohibited firearms inside city limits and if you didn’t comply, you were either put in jail or shot. John Lewis or Doc Holliday, as he was more commonly known after his death was actually a dentist and in all the research I’ve ever done I can only find one incident where he was involved in a shootout, and he was not a good shot either he was nearly blind in one eye and had tuberculosis on top of it, and he could barely hit the broad side of a barn.
The vast majority of the people that won the gunfight was not the fastest but the one that took his time well enough to aim Bradley and some others had beat John Wesley on the draw but they were not as accurate as he was so they died.
The first two mistakes that Pat Garrett made the men had capital offenses anyway so he wouldn't get in any trouble for killing them. I think the third mistake he made in which he always claimed it was Billy the man wasn't wanted for anything. And this is pure speculation but I believe he made a deal with Billy and said I will let you go free and as long as there's no mention of me shooting an innocent man and we're going to bury him under your name. There is some evidence that he split the proceeds of that book ,in which Billy the kid was made to be out a saint almost, with the real Billy the kid.

How can you call someone a gunslinger who kills with a rifle from long distance. That person ain't no gunslinger. He's a bushwhacking dry gulcher.
The real gunslingers weren’t even real gunslingers. All this western fiction destroyed the real picture of the wildwest.
Well then they all were then cause most of these cowboys had rifles along with their hand guns.
😂 I read that “real country-like” in my head.
That the old west version of “you’re hard scoping noob”?
So what would that make today's military sniper using a high powered rifle and modern optics?
No mention of the Lincoln County War? THAT is the main reason Billy the Kid was imprisoned by Garrett. Murdering Sheriff Brady. SMH
Hardin tried to practice law in San Antonio but that was too civilized for him and moved to El Paso where the Wild West was still wild .

The "DEAD MAN'S HAND" Aces and eights, was a very early movie thing. It was never proven what cards Wild Bill actually had when he was shot
Actually it was

You forgot Mad Dog Tannen!
whats the soundtrack
You skipped from Millers time at Maccolik Ranch to his time as a Texas Ranger.
Through my mothers side of the family, I am related to Jesse James. (my grandmother's name was Rachael Dewdrop James) I was told stories about my grandmothers mother helping Jesse and his brother hide under hay and piles of wood from the lawmen after them, by my grandmother. It would have been interesting to have met him and hear the story from his side of it.....
Why show scenes from movies not connected to video subject. Very distracting
Yes, Very Annoying !
1:19 Hes was never PERSECUTED for it....?......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
A lot of innacurate information here, HISTORY records " Billy The Kid" as a sadist and not a helpful boy at all, who took pleasure when he killed, Wild Bill..or James Hickock, they ommit he was a lawman who tamed many a town and erased the baddies, The story in this doc of Hickock and Machandles is also tainted as there were 3 against one with te Machandles instigating the fight, Hickock is a much maligned figure , who in context of his times and place was a good man.
You know some shit
Billy the kid is recorded as a man who was “tough but not mean”. Who “would kill, but wasn’t a killer”. Where the hell u get this info abt Billy being a sadist?? Literally never read or heard that anywhere…
Qhere the hell did YOU get your information from? B the K was a murdering SOB and it is DOCUMENTED. His angeleic moments were in you dreams, nor was he "tough" a defintie sadist and why dont YOU publish YOUR reference as to where YOU got your information from and then I will publich MINE!

My favorite Wild West gunslinger or lawman is Wild Bill Hickok. As a kid I had book about him that has since gotten lost… but I’ve found the same book online but haven’t bought it yet… when I do there more books that would be cool to get.. Joseph G. Rosa was a person that wrote many books about Wild Bill Hickok….. The story about his life is is the ending of his life…. His eyesight and also shooting his friend that got caught in between him and a guy he was shooting at…. And from there he started getting more into gambling which having a name like he did wasn’t a good thing… and unfortunately having his back to the crowd….
I think the inaccurate information is yours.
The guys that got hanged with Miller weren’t his crew. It were two contractors and their middlemen.
I really wanted to watch this video! But the amount of commercials that were in it was utterly disgusting four separate commercials within 3 minutes of the video.... Unfortunately I won't be following this gentleman
Get an Advertising-Blocker !
Your horn slinger didn't die in 2019 as stated in the video
He caught COVID

acers and eights, any western historian should know that that it was only a myth and no one recalled what cards Bill actually had. Aces and Eights was a movie thing that started some time in the early time of silent movies.
If you go to Deadwood, and go the saloon where Wild Bill was shot, you will see above the door there are cards posted above the doors . Aces and eights.
you will not find a thing from the actual time period that states what cards he had. it was not tell some time later that they came up with aces and eights and that is fact@@thomasdugan2041
@@thomasdugan2041 the guy hit in wrist by the bullet, said it was a mess on table, the cards and brains just got cleaned up
As Wild Bill Hickok’s body lay slumped over the poker table, another poker player, Neil Christy, retrieved Hickok’s cards from the floor and spread them out on the table. They were ace of diamonds, the ace of clubs, both black eights, and the queen of hearts with a smear of Hickok’s blood on it. Other stories reported that Hickok’s hand included both black aces and both black eights, along with the queen of hearts, but historians believe that the suit of the ace of diamonds was changed to the ace of spades because the ace of spades is a card that has long been associated with death.
Is there any documented proof of that
Why is dude on the left telling the other man what he wants for Christmas?
He wants his two front teeth so he can whistle Merry Christmas! 😂
Who edited this video? Why are you showing clips of Gary Cooper in High Noon and John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn when you’re talking about Jim Miller? At least have the cuts follow the narration, this is a poorly done video
Wow, some of these fellers you don't want to TICK OFF! John P.

The real life exploits of Mr Bass Reeves laid the foundation for what would become the syndicated tv show "The Lone Ranger".
Never heard anything about Tonto.
Factually incorrect on so many levels. What a joke.
Make a video with the correct facts 😉 don't talk about it be about it.
Huh so Pinkertons were a real thing. Actually cool to learn
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid must be on the next list.
When Cassidy met with the governor he said he never killed a man in his life. So should he search on a list of the deadliest gunslingers.
Kid Curry who was also in the Wild Bunch had like 17 kills. People back then thought he was the leader of the Wild Bunch.
Gunslingers ? Don’t you mean bush whackers.
Is that like weed whackers?
They left out the Texas outlaw Sam Bass also
Maybe you should have actually watched this. Sam Bass was #2.
A very good poem!
Jim’s grandparents weren’t even in the state at the time 🙄
Jesse James 💯💪✔️
It was mentioned in this video that HARDIN killed Comanche deputy... Wrong... The deputy was from neighboring county, BROWN COUNTY, BROWNWOOD TEXAS, my home town. When the deputy tried to arrest HARDIN in a saloon in Comanche, JWH, shot him dead. That deputy is interned in GREENLEAF CEMETERY in BROWNWOOD, on HWY 377 SOUTH, HE was Brown counties first deputy sheriff
He doesn't want to do it.😮 that is so stupid even for Harden😅😅😅.
Irving the 142nd fastest gun in the west. A funny song by Frank Gallop. A parody of the ballad of Ringo by Lorne Green.
Official pick of old west quick hand gun with deadly acricy would have to be the Kid. Billy the Kid.
Arnold the Kid. 👦
That thing about Wild Bill Hickock holding what is now known as a Deadman's hand apparently isn't true, those they were cards on the floor when they came to pick up Bill's body, but during the scuffle of the shooting others had also dropped their cards so nobody really knows if those were Bill's cards or even if they were part of someone's hand as there were other cards close to them to and nobody knows which were together as a hand, but as it sounded as a good story they stuck with, but like I a said apparently not true or not a hundred percent true that rhey were his or all part of the same hand of cards.
Jesse James shot in the back of the head
Hmm I actually have a birth mark in the back of my head
Hmm...not sure that using visual content that has v little to do with the characters in question is a smart move...
You forgot Kid Curry?
Clay Allison and Mason Bowman were as deadly as anyone you listed.
Also throw Bill Longley in that list.
What about the lone ranger ??
@debro1873 that's Bas Reeves
Love history
Who told you that Arthur Morgan is the best gunslinger on this earth
Nah
@@Jim.Miller1861yes
@@xxcensorxx9724 if you’re going with fictional gunslingers „The man with no name“ and „Nobody“ are the best.
If you’re going with real gunslingers
John Wesley Hardin, Clay Allision, Bill Longley, Deacon Jim and King Fisher were the best.
SO!!! Jim Miller was NOT in the old West. By your title he should have been in Kaintuck or maybe Michigan
He operated in Texas that’s the most Wildwest you gonna get.
Doc reminds me of Arthur
On the rocks ?
Ringo killed himself, and Wyatt was proven to be 500 miles away and Doc Holiday was in a hotel, dying from tuberculosis, and they have been accused of killing Ringo also.
No, Ringo killed himself he was drunk and probably quite depressed and that is why he just ended it all. He had tied his boots on his horse and the horse ran or wandered off, that is why he didn't have his boots on and it would have been quite hard to walk on the rough ground.
I have read a lot of history and listen to a lot of history videos.
It is said his pistol hadn't been fired when he was found?
Supposedly, Billy Claiborne's dying words were that Frank Leslie (that man who fired the bullet that would soon kill Billy) killed Ringo and that he (Billy) saw him do it.....
Alec Baldwin modern day GS.
He was never “persecuted “ for it? I think you meant prosecuted.
@kingsofthering Rob learned about the old west. God help us.
Ee-vont Texas lol yeah we just pronounce it Eve-ant
most brutal and deadly? Clay Allison (1840-1887)
Tom Horn wasn'tactually a murderer as portrayed by this propoganda, a real historical person, many beleived him to be a hero.
Tom Horn was a paid killer, who shot people from ambush at a distance. He was hung for killing the wrong man, who was really a 14 year old boy. I'd say that makes him a murderer...
Brown county sheriff deputy was killed I believe. Not Comanche county deputy. Jwh
I'm so sick of watching these videos where they just narrate over photos and images that have nothing to do with anything!
Most of these videos they're just reading Wikipedia!
A lot of people of think Hardin got off easy and he did get away with some things that he probably should have been hung for. But look at it this way he got 25 years for shooting someone that had already shot him in the back
Billy The Kid rode with The Regulars not the rustlers
Tom Horn, Jnr... Tom Horn JAYNAR??? Try Junior!
your narrator can't pronounce quite a few english words ????
So, were these Duels legal ? I mean, killing a person in a duel wasn’t a Crime ??

Jesse W Haywood. The rootenest, tootenest, Vladimir Pootenest, hombre east of the Rio Grandee and he don’t mean Mahatma Ghandi! 😂
Is it odd that most of these gunslingers were from Texas and Missouri?
You gotta watch out for them guys from Missouri and Texas. They’re meeeeen!
Call them what they really were, heartless serial killers.
Jesse James is regarded as a hero amongst many inner city African Americans,fact.
What? Even though he famously hated blacks?
Ben Thompson was ambushed
Half of the stories are not even true learn history before making a video
Well Mr. History let’s see you fact video and see how much you get right. Half the shit was probably false stories from the beginning anyway, just folk tales told to make “a name” for the last generations, how the world still works til this day.
Yeah, these pistol duels in the old west style movies never actually happened. There’s never been a proven event of that type in the history of the American old West in the way that it has been portrayed in Hollywood films most of the time gunslingers shot each other in the back or While they were sleeping or something of that nature. If somebody made a movie about the real old West, you probably wouldn’t recognize it as being real. Regardless of what people would have you believe there were laws backed in and not everyone carried weapons and in most towns or townships as they were called back then they had mandates that prohibited firearms inside city limits and if you didn’t comply, you were either put in jail or shot. John Lewis or Doc Holliday, as he was more commonly known after his death was actually a dentist and in all the research I’ve ever done I can only find one incident where he was involved in a shootout, and he was not a good shot either he was nearly blind in one eye and had tuberculosis on top of it, and he could barely hit the broad side of a barn.
The vast majority of the people that won the gunfight was not the fastest but the one that took his time well enough to aim Bradley and some others had beat John Wesley on the draw but they were not as accurate as he was so they died.
That was Hickock's adage: not the fastest but the most accurate.
I saw valentine and tumbleweed from rdr2
The Shakiest Gun In The West a comedy movie starring Don Knotts.
The first two mistakes that Pat Garrett made the men had capital offenses anyway so he wouldn't get in any trouble for killing them. I think the third mistake he made in which he always claimed it was Billy the man wasn't wanted for anything. And this is pure speculation but I believe he made a deal with Billy and said I will let you go free and as long as there's no mention of me shooting an innocent man and we're going to bury him under your name. There is some evidence that he split the proceeds of that book ,in which Billy the kid was made to be out a saint almost, with the real Billy the kid.
Just started but if Porter Rockwell isnt number 1 you suck.
12 greatest back shooter in the west😮.
No sign of William munny on the list
