The Killing of Warren Earp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Warren Earp, the younger brother of Wyatt Earp, was shot dead in Wilcox, AZ on July 6th, 1900.
We discuss that event along with some other local history in this video.

being from knoxville I've heard plenty of violent ballads, but zooming in on his statue made it all the more creepy, and had a little fallout vibe.
It was a very sinister music video.
You know, it kinda did.
Put it on the Vault PA
That exactly what I was thinking. Couldn't put my finger on it. It totally has a fallout vibe to it. Interesting.
Oh hey, a sample of his music, that'll be neat... oh... oh no....
Yeah.... that is what I thought... not anymore.
To say it has not aged well would be be an understatement
Can’t judge past by modern standards
But that’s pretty messed up
The last thing I was expecting was an upbeat tune about child abuse. Definitely put a damper on my mood.
Who is the narrator? You look like the guy that runs a museum that does the Pawn Stars estimates
Thank you, Karl! I know you've stated that the "history" episodes don't get anywhere near the views of things like mud tests or crazy weird shot show disasters. But please know these are deeply appreciated. The History Channel is clickbait, manufactured drama, and jump cuts. You have a natural gift to take historical events, make them come alive, and make viewers not only entertained but learn something in the process. Your passion for the subject material comes through but it's also clear that you take great care as a historian to present as neutral and unbiased a presentation as possible, a breath of fresh air. Especially during a pandemic when many people can't travel or vacation and visit as much as they would like, content like this is truly appreciated more than ever.
Thank you!
I second this statement. It's this content why I give $1 a month to InRange.
Ditto, these videos are marvellous.
I totally agree. These vids are why I gave him my support. 😊👍🏻
I guess Mark Said it for manf us. I also feel the same. You have a unique style which embeds the viewer in the landscape while telling a story based on evidencial fact and not fearing to betray myths. Keep it up
From a distant cousin of "The U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp Brothers and The Immortals, with Dirty Doc Holidayin.' " Yes I also enjoy Kurt Russell's "Tombstone" movie and Val Kilmer's performance with the rest. There are several premeditated false fiction branches in it thought. Uncanny how close they got many of the faces to match the original people though. Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp" movie had far more real history packed in. There is a 14 hour documentary out there on the Earps that has far more history than Costner. Dennis Quaid's Doc Holiday was far more accurate and looked more like him. It showed more of his bad side, part mean drunk fighter. Russell and Costner were in a horse raise to release their movie first for more earnings, earlier. Because second place might be worn out of Earp interest $market. Watch Costner's Wyatt Earp at least twice. It is more complex and more locations. Some Tombstone entertainment fiction :
Doc didn't shoot Johnny Ringo. Doc was in another states court room trial same day as Ringo's death.
A documentary showed it was either suicide, or an Earp Ally. Likely the later because Ringo had stuffed
his pants cuffs in his boots, to take a nap. That trick avoids scorpions crawling in your boots and poison stinging you. I don't know if tests to see if the death bullet was Ringo's caliber or another?
Cowboy gang did not wear red sash's at the mid section. Russell script was imitating Crypts and Bloods modern blue and red crime gang bandanas, to make it easy to see who the bad guys were.
Wyatt goodbye to Doc Holiday wasn't all friendly. Doc wanted Josephine for himself. She and Wyatt wanted each other. Doc said "You two Jews go screw yourselves !!" In a love triangle dispute temper.
Marshall Fred White shooting death didn't happen the Russell way. Many other differences. Our family for generations had to stay quiet about Earp Cousins, because they still had too many enemies. Though most sided with Union Army part Civil War Yankee Veteran Earps. Many sided with Confederate Leaning, road thief, cattle thief, stage coach thief, home thief, government mule thief, Mexican War re starting Cowboy Gang. If the U.S. Marshall Earp team didn't win, U.S. Army was going to finish the Cowboys gang, even though they also had some lawless officers siding with them.

"ran him over with a truck, securing his demise".
I wonder if it was driven by one of his female relatives?
@@peterhall8532 I wonder when you'll grow up
@@johnladuke6475 Reminds me of that old football video game where, if a player got hurt, an ambulance would drive onto the field to pick him up, and usually run over one or more other players on the way.
Some "caregiver" he was.
Transcript from the 911 call:
Caregiver: "Help! Help! I'm the caregiver for Rex Allen and he just dropped dead from a heart attack right here in his driveway!"
911: "Now please calm down, ma'am. First we have to be sure he's really dead".
Caregiver: "Okay, just a moment".
Caregiver: "Okay, now what?".
As a Brazilian, I must say that this "mythology" created around real events is important because it helps to perpetuate people's interest in their own history and in a way preserves even the true facts. Here in Brazil we have very little of this, and therefore few know its past.
We also had our "wild west", but due to the lack of films and books we ended up being interested in the "west" of others.
Interesting take but you do have some of the all time legends of sports. And not just the great footballers, Ayrton Senna is a true legend of all time. Yeah it's recent history but you got to go with what you have.
One day people will talk about Drug Cartels the same way that we talk about Vikings. To some extent it's already happened with the mafia of the nineteen hundreds. Dark ages or interesting times, whatever you want to call them are always mythologized. I don't think that it's an issue as long as we don't get so wrapped up in the fantasy that we forget the harsh reality.
Your people have been enslaved by the Elites, worse than most...unfortunately there is no hope for any of us as the NWO takes all freedoms and liberties away
@@hoonterofhoonters6588 nice.
@inönu I don't think that's entirely true, Dime Westerns were huge in the late 19th century; life in the west was romanticized in the east while it was happening. There was a bit of a disconnect, because the romanticization did occur in the relatively settled and developed regions of the country, not so much in the west itself, but it's not a product of nostalgia, it's something far more ingrained into the American spirit and ethos.
I appreciate unvarnished history. Thank you for these vignettes from the past.
The start of this video is interesting and informative history content, as always, well done.
The end of this video is my new Nightmares.
I really appreciate the historic videos you create. Very informative and entertaining. I have watched all your past videos and check back regularly for new. Thank you.
It's always a great day when InRange posts an Old West vignette.
Sister Bessie had one rough time by the sound.
She contracted STDs and had a kid with no known Dad, who ended up in prison about the time she found out she had terminal cervical cancer. Or alternatively, Her families intervention saved her and her future offspring and after some behavioral adjustrments she had a long and reasonably fruitful life.
@@johnladuke6475 Maybe what she did to the traveling salesman?
@@thetruthseeker5549 The fantasies conservatives whip up in their heads to justify domestic abuse are hilarious.
I’m happy to support this type of content. It shows that the problems of human relationships are not unique to any one place or time.
“Drove over him securing his demise” damn it, he just couldn’t catch a break
I'm sure he caught a few breaks with that, just not the one that he would have wanted.
He did catch the brakes, though.
Holy shit this is dark.
“Oh, it gets darker Morty!...”
@@BigBosley clever 😎
@@Ostenjager YIKES😎
Your old/new west vignettes content is my favourite that you produce, but I understand that it can be time and cost intensive. Thank you for continuing to make it.
Well... the music didn’t exactly age well
As my momma always said, nothing good ever happens after midnight.
@@Relayzy1 i can't see anything in his sentence saying he go to sleep after midnight, just what his momma said. Why people are hasty to judge the others ? You can also have a lot of fun before midnight no?
My battalion commander said the same thing.
@@MrEvanfriend As did my grandfather about railroading.
Except a nightwith the Hornay twins, Iilsa and Inga.....
Oh that's not true.. many of my experiences and adventures happened around midnight.
Warren Earp was often characterized as being effeminate and having expressive, overly dramatic behavior. Being a "drama queen” in 1900 and hyperbolic in nature wasn't the normal way one conducts oneself in public. He stood out to say the least.
i bet he sasshayed in the saloon swinging his hips and saying real loud "HEY BOYS WHOS READY FOR A DRINK YEEEEEEEEEAHHH"
@@bubber25 haha
He was a fresca
@@bubber25 he probably had his own donkey show
He was a known troublemaker and was warned by Wyatt against such heavy drinking and his brash actions, (not that he deserved such a fate).
I remember watching Deadwood back when that show came out and being almost shocked at how Wyatt and Morgan were portrayed in the one episode they appeared in. Opportunistic and not too concerned with the law. I guess it was more authentic then I gave it credit for!
They were also very young in that episode so watching I assumed they matured with age. But yes sources call the Earps "pimps" so perhaps they were more similar to Al Swearengen, Dan Doherty and Silas Adams than Seth Bullock. Love Deadwood so much!
From what I've read and learned, their was very little difference between the Earps and the "Cowboys"...
These are some of the best videos on InRange Tv.
Really enjoy these vignettes you bring us, thanks Karl.
Glad you like them!
Non-native Arizonan here. Love learning about my state's history from InRange TV. Thanks for this excellent content.
I appreciate the song you included, it's a stark reminder that a lot of beloved legends have stuff that was dark and morally wrong. It shouldn't be defended as "just harmless politically incorrect music" nor white-washed and forgotten either. Perfect way to end this video. Truly comprehensive and honest history has warts and all.
I agree. The only way to learn about the past is by a true account. No agendas just history as it was warts and all.
This is great! Glad I found your channel. We appreciate what you are doing!
These historical accounts are AWESOME. Keep'em coming man!!
I really appreciate these videos. It's hard to get a feeling for living history without having a very personally biased opinion about how other people should view how the narrator views the situation.
I really appreciate that you educate yourself beforehand and know the story before you visit these sites. Thanks for including the Music of Rex Allen. It was absolutely terrible in every way imaginable. Especially when he tried to yodel, and failed miserably.
I love history.Great job.
This was great karl, I really enjoy these old west vignettes. The sample of rex Allen's music was an interesting touch.
Awesome! I'm from Willcox and I've been excited for this video for a long time. I used to be with a gunfighting group called Marshall Bo's Gunslingers of the West. We did shows every Saturday and there was a neat little history lesson before each show. He'd talked about the history of Willcox, or Maley's Camp as I think it was known then. He'd also talked about Geronimo and him getting his supplies from the general trade store, and the fight that killed Warren and just about anything else that involved the town. Warren was buried in an unmarked grave, but it isn't "unmarked" as some might think. Great content as usual Karl
Thank you as always get history reporting.
Watching to the end for the algorithm was a little hard this time. Great video Karl...🤣
Yeah, I had to go read the comments.
Nothing quite conveys that “the past is a foreign country” quite like the music.
Great video as always, Karl. Forgotten history mixed with some...uncomfortable laughter- the ultimate Inrange combination.
Alright , another vignette! Keep keeping the history alive, Karl!
Thank you for bringing us nearly forgotten tales of the west.
I got lucky, no ad, so I got to enjoy the video, thanks for a great one again Karl!
Thank You as always Karl and team!
Oh man that statue is something else... come on man, i’m about to go to sleep! (also keep up the good work!)
Cut to me waking up screaming in the middle of the night with my wife telling me. "Rex Allen is dead, he can't slap you..."
That last shot is nightmare fuel.
Those slow zooms and pans with that track playing was beautifully crafted mind-rot!
Great video. Sexuality is not something i ever really considered in relation to the old west.
Think how recent Brokeback mounting was and the fury thrown at that film. Many people still aren't ready.
Stuck in desert wilderness with nothing but horses, cows and sex workers with nasty diseases, I bet other guys looked real appealing at times.
@@johnladuke6475 Agreed, though I was just making a joke.
I imagine in the early days, there were more single men then women. So women came west to make their fortune. Ever heard of mail order brides as well.
@@Tuberuser187 ever heard of beastiality. I heard of people caught with animals
The juxtaposition of the closeups with the song was worth watching a thousand ads...you really are an artist. This series is the best thing you do, and I hope you can keep making these videos for years to come! THANK YOU
Your historical insight is fantastic - please give us more
My mom use to sing that song, along with a few ad-lib verses that couldn't be listed here !! lol
Oh dear
Thanks for telling these histories without the dime store novel filter. Some people might think "man it would have been cool to know the Earps and Doc Holliday".
If I had lived back then and been in close proximity to them, I would have avoided them like the plague.
I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all night at work now.
I know that these aren't the most popular videos you upload, but they're definitely my favorite
greatly appreciated! thanks for the history!
that bloody song is stuck in my head now. ahahahaa!
The real west in America was a starnge place.
Well it must have been a rough time to be gay before anybody invented Astroglide...
I recomend reading Sun of the Morning Star. The author relates the story of a transvestite laundress circa 1865. Honestly, the truth is sometimes better than fiction.
The real west was a hard world, maybe more then now. And one thing is true no matter what, life was is never fair to everyone worldwide at any one time ever. As for violence, it's in our nature. Some people just don't care. Most do care and try to live right
America is a strange place
Light hearted ode to abuse. Way to go Rex.
Superb piece again Karl
I always love the vignette videos! :)
Sorry to sound uninformed but I've seen this word more than once on here now, what does "vingette" mean?
@@georgekoribanic2524 These types of videos used to be called "Old West Vignettes". Essentially they're short videos on interesting historical events that are often unknown. And typically about the Old West, though not always.
Sure am glad I run across Inrange TV. It really touches on my interests. The narrator is top notch.
Interesting that Virgil and Wyatt both were alive when he was killed and for some years after but never cared enough to mark his grave. So much for the myth of family you hear in the movies about them.
Well if the unnatural relationship rumors were true; they wouldn’t have wanted to be associated with him back then. That sort of thing could destroy an entire family’s ability to live and conduct business in those days.
I love at the end when he says Rex Allen got ran over by his care taker.
That statue and that song... Holy cringe yikes goddamn 😂
It certainly isn’t in the modern taste, as my grandmother would put it.
I never heard of Warren Earp so this was very interesting. Thanks Karl, love these videos.
This is why I support your channel. So interesting.
Thanks Karl. I always enjoy these vignettes.
"His caregiver drove over him with a truck, thus securing his demise." Worst caregiver ever!
They momentarily forgot their job title and acted as a *car*giver.
Love the old west content Karl. Have you ever considered doing a video on the Waco Siege?
Warren Earp was buried face down...so all his friends would recognize him.
Twisted 10/10
Great coverage ignore the whiny social comments
brillant, love the grave marker / advert for a book. interesting the song at the end no different from music of today. keep up the good work 🍻
Come to think of it, Rex Allen may have been before his time, rapping about slapping around his 'bitches & hos'. ni66a
You forgot TOS "Spectre of the Gun"
Kidding aside.... because of my interest for guns, UA-cam recommended Ian to me; i was like "Cool, guns in historical context"
Then, from there, i found InRangeTV, which made it better, and Bloke on the Range
You guys just rock! Instead of other UA-camrs, you don't compete (except friendly on the range) who knows better, you are a team! Please continue that way!
Greetings from Victorinox Land! ;-)
These are some of my favorite videos. Thanks! Amazing song.
Keep these up where you can. I've always enjoyed these videos.
I don't know why, but these last couple days I had been itching for an Old West Vignette *big time.*
Thank you Karl!
So glad for another iteration of this. Very interesting
Nothing dates an era like music, melody, and lyric, “Slap her down again paw” couldn’t of described the early 1900s in America any better.
Great video, and great song 👍
Big nose Kate died in 1940, 81 years ago, Old West history is still so close to us its crazy! Thanks for another fantastic old west vignette Karl!
The outro is an emotional roller coaster.
Thank you for another amazing short documentary!
BEst line in Tombstone was Kurt Russel screaming. “ you tell em I’m comin’, and hell’s comin’ with me!!”
Great Video Karl love these old west vignettes!
Cheers, man. These vignettes are awesome. 👍🏾
Talk about changing times and standards, i understand everything in its historical context but yikes that song.
Are you serious? Have you heard rap and hip hop of today? 100% more vulgar and violent toward women than that silly little song.
Guess you never heard of nwa
I got to perform in a group called The Men Of The West which was Rex Sr.'s backup band. "Father", as Rex liked to be called was quite an interesting person. It was quite an experience to work shows with him. I later performed with The Dodge City Four which was the backup band for Ken Curtis, better known as Festus of Gunsmoke. One of best jobs I ever had.
I love these kind of videos, always information ive never heard of
I didn't even know there was another Skywal-...uh... Earp. Thanks for more history Karl.
That jaunty little ditty at the end sure was interesting.
You have a good story telling delivery.
Great info on a lesser known Earp!
We stayed in Wilcox a few times in our travels through Arizona in our Motor Home pulling my little Jeep behind, and that song brings back memories of when I was a fan of country music before being shipped over to Vietnam for a year back in 1970, when I came home all sense of country music was buried in my past because of the intense exposure to the rock and roll that play in the background of the war and the barracks. I still enjoy country music from the 50's but rock from the 60s and 70s play in my home on many days when I want some tunes to take me back to the good old days. Getting old sucks and when you are over 70 years old, well the world has changed but you remain the same some how. Slap her down again pa!
Excellent work yet again.
Another great video of forgotten frontier history.........much appreciated!
Most interesting story TFS. My surname started in england as Earps . When it reached Australia it changed . My gggrandather was a convict and my dad used to joke about being related to Wyatt. His nickname was actually Wyatt by some friends. I find the stories of the Earps families most intriguing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Very interesting information. Especially about the grave marker.
...well, that escalated quickly!
Another very good and entertaining video. Thanks so much.
Strange, human and enlightening!
Tanks for a great video!
The wall to wall grin at the end with the music, laughed way harder than i should have propably.
cudos to the editor
Yeh! Thanks Karl. I really enjoy these.
Rich.
hi Karl, as ever "more more" please, its so fantastic to flesh out the reality of the old west, thanks j
As I've said before,...as a native Arizonan who's family homesteaded out here before statehood, I truly love and appreciate these bits of Arizona and southwestern history. While I don't claim to be a historian, I have inherited via my father a love for the history of our state and believe myself to be rather more knowledgeable about it that the average person. And yet I didn't know about this episode of the Earp saga. I knew about Rex Allen, but I'd never heard that particular diddy. (For those that find it disturbing - not that it shouldn't be - just try to bear in mind it came from an era when a significant percentage of the culture in those days still considered young women as 'easily corruptible' and that a husband and father occasionally might need to be just a tad rough in a reserved and judicious way in order to 'tame' a wild child. Today we might call it battery, but back then, it was simply corporal punishment.) Thanks Karl. This is great stuff.
Didn’t see the end coming. Nice work Karl.
I'm surprised there are no photos of the building pre-1940.
There might be tucked away in some private inherited collection. Or maybe some where taken and lost or destroyed over time. Even then it would likely be only a partial angle of the whole street. This is a small town in a fairly remote area, pre-1940 most people were not taking photos of buildings and it's not a big enough or "significant" enough building to have been immortalized on postcard or something similar promotion wise.
There is a little display type deal in the Willcox Historic Theater, along the wall as you walk into the lobby. Several pictures and articles from at least 1900 show the streets and some buildings around the theater.
Thank you for this great content.
These Old West Vignettes are some of the top content.
Great video just shows how things have changed, you don't hear songs like that anymore 😮
I believe that particular bar or saloon has the largest one-piece bar west of the Mississippi. Made entirely out of 1 tree trunk at chock full of beautiful wood carvings. It is exquisite.
At least that is how the female barkeep told us the story when I was in there about 15-16 years ago.
