Just think people like my grandpa born 1890- 1983 saw all that change in his lifetime, sad thing is I didn’t set at his feet and learn a thing, to busy with school, cars, and girls. Here I am at 75 and wish I had asked!
I think that is true for some of us. My grandparents on Ma's side lived a poorish, small and fairly simple life on a farm in southern Namibia. From what I remember they seemed content. I am within my abbility trying to emulate that lifestyle, but I have to relearn most of it without their guidence. Also I cant tell them how much I respect their quite courage and resiliance, when I still could I was too stupid to know their worth. Here is to the old folks.
My father was 16 when he joined the army in world war II. He died when he was 59 years old. I'd give anything to ask him a thousand questions. Now that he's gone. It's too late of course. I'm 72... Me and my fishing and hunting buddies. We'd all sat around the fire. Wishing we were born in the 1800s or 1700s be mountain men...
I was fortunate to hear my great grandfather talk about life on the prairie here in North Texas in the 1890's and very early 1900's. He was born in 1887 and would tell me stories about what it was like here when he was a kid in the 1890's, and then growing up and living here his whole life. He died in 1979 at age 92. I was 19 at the time. Even I can still remember when this area was mostly wide open spaces and almost no trees, except on the creeks and low areas. It's a lot different around here now.
So, you were born in the late '40s. I can only imagine all of the changes you've witnessed, and I hope there's some lucky kid sitting at your feet, hearing about what life was like before color TV and digital cameras and the Internet. You were in your late teens right when the muscle cars hit their peak!
I live in Central City Colorado and I loved this. I explore around Eldora, Ward, Silver Plume, Georgetown and Idaho Springs and its so cool to see and imagine what it looked like back then. I wont lie, Central City still looks exactly the same as in the pic, I called it before the subtitle came up lol.
Amazing pics..can't help but think how basic life was then..and how soft we are now, everything basically hand made..I look at them, and wonder bout their lives.😊
When I see kids around 10 yrs old in these photos and maybe they lived til 90 years old they saw incredible changes in life. From horse to automobile to lights and telephone. Wow. Yet, my generation too (born 1957) to cell phones, computers , etc. very interesting
Yes, I think about all the changes I've seen in my lifetime. From getting our first color tv, going from rotary phones to cell phones, having to use Rand McNally Road Atlas to now just typing in the address to our cell phones. Filling out order forms from the Sears catalogue to Amazon on our phones, the list goes on and on. I often think about all the things that my parents did not get to see since they passed just in the last 13 years, things like Elon Musk's crazy rockets that can fly back to earth and land upright on a ship in the ocean, my dad would have loved to see that. I think about all the stuff that will happen after I'm gone and that my kids and grandkids will get to see. Great video, love the color pics.
My granpa was born in 1900 and lived to 2002. Never had much money but was loved by all us grandkids. Had a hard life but never complained. He told me to never stand face to face and argue with another man, just hit him. Different times.
Fabulous colorization. Captions not quite so much. Some dates and places clearly wrong, but it doesn't really detract from what is a very good presentation.
Having contributed tobacco to the world, I honor the American indigenous people every Columbus Day with buying a pouch of Red Man Chewing Tobacco....Yummmie! Cowboys and Indians, miners and salons, the ladies and covered wagons, guns, hand built towns, hard people doing hard things.....proud to have this heritage.......
From the number of views it's clear that people love the old American West. I've been reading Bernard DeVoto's wonderful trilogy on the opening of the West and have really been struck by how quickly settlement spread, towns grew, and technology changed. You can see from these photos though that few men, apart from those who worked the ranches, wore cowboy hats or dressed as they do on TV.
@@old-vintage-photos Do include the interactions of cowboys with vaqueros and Old Mexico. Before borders were set many cowboys and explorers of the West traveled back and forth between the two countries and, of course, the American West includes a great Spanish heritage. Also enjoyed the photos of the black cowboys. I believe they were mostly in Texas immediately after the Civil War, but then took their ranching skills throughout the West.

Thank you! This is a famous photo and deserves a correct caption. I often wonder what this handsome fellow would have thought if he knew that one day he would be seen by millions of people all over the world and his framed photo would be hanging on many walls, including my guest room. :) In "Frontier Gentleman," Antony Ellis' wonderful old radio show from the 1950s, he defines "cowboy" as "a man with guts and a horse." This photo really captures that.
Lovely photos. As an enthusiast of "Original Transcon RR" era, I love these colorized renditions. Wet-Plate photography was an amazing technique, and the color process humanizes these people, seeing them as they really were. Subscribed and thanks.
Thanks for this great batch of pictures, I love this kind of stuff and it’s even more appropriate seeing this today because I just finished reading Centennial by James Michener yesterday and it was the history of Colorado and this ties in perfectly!!👏👏
Looks like hard work back then. But, there also appears to be a certain degree a peace that came with it and the wide open spaces where you could scratch where it itches. Know what I mean?
They'd be pissed because how it is today was not our founding fathers intentions at all. The "people" they spoke about in Our US Constitution refers to us who descended from those here back then. "people" did not refer to the entire world's population.
People think they were ignorant because most barely possessed an eighth grade education, but if you compare the final exams for eighth grade pre 1900, college graduates now would most definitely fail. Long story short, those people would be disappointed at the failure of most people now the use logic, reason, and problem solving skills. Oh, and they'd think we're mostly rude slobs
My grandfather was born in 1873 in Alabama and my father in Texas in 1913. They both could tell some stories, but mostly they said times were really tough in those early days post Civil War through the Great Depression.
5:47 picture claimed to be take in Hot Springs Arkansas in 1901, the native elk had been exterminated from Arkansas by the 1840s. Rocky Mountain Elk were transplanted to Arkansas in the 1980s.
This is why Red Dead Redemption is so amazing, it almost copied the whole Wild West to perfection. I see a lot of Towns in this Video that are also in the games when it comes to topography and stuff❤
My favorite image is from Deadwood, SD in 1877, because they're not posing for the camera. So that's what you might have seen if you were walking down the streets of Deadwood in 1877.
el hombre en la historia de supervivencia siempre luchando por sobre vivir y hacer la vida posible en cualquier terreno aun que algunos no queremos aceptar la idea de que el fin de uno es el principio de otro esa es la pura realidad
Your captions are mostly wrong... but funny. "Rhode Island" at 10'30" is the best. "Ripple Creek" ??LOL. "Northwood Iowa" with rocky cliffs and Yucca trees.
Great historical photos.. I don't understand why people went west to live.. when all u see is just open fields, little towns with no trees,grass just hard packed dirt.. mountains n valleys with nothing growing out there.. like Montana, Colorado, North Dakota... guess that's why the government gave free land grants.. cause it was just bare plains..
Lot of people living in mountainous areas where water resources are locally available. Because of modern infrastructure technologies suburban houses are located in areas where there would not have been any water available at all 150-years ago.
I LIKE looking at the historic streetscapes, the clothing people wore, the horses and the wagons, stagecoaches, and early railroad cars.

I do too. Something about it just mesmerizes me. Everyone dressed so nice - women in dresses and men in 3-piece or 5-piece suits all the time.

Wrong. We have it simple and easy. They had it hard. Everything took 10x longer.
People died by diseases or conditions easily treated today. Diarrhea was a leading cause of death.

Ha quelle merveille ces voyage dans le temps!

at 10:40 the photo is The Cow Boy" / J.C.H. Grabill, photographer, Sturgis, Dakota Ter. not Rhode Island - 1887
Thank you! This is a famous photo and deserves a correct caption.

Thank you for watching and commenting @darrellborland119.
Great photos, but the scene labeled as Northrop, Iowa at 9:23 was definitely not Iowa. Iowa doesn't have Joshua Trees and mountains
something is off about that photo its way too clear
The Rhode island cowboy is a little suspicious too
Thanks for this great batch of pictures, I love this kind of stuff and it’s even more appropriate seeing this today because I just finished reading Centennial by James Michener yesterday and it was the history of Colorado and this ties in perfectly!!👏👏
Cool compilation of rare photos. A couple corrections. 9:24 aint no way that's Iowa. 17:56 Cody WY 2000s, I been there.
Maybe Northwood ND? Definitely not IA.
Pretty cool thanks
It may be rough, but the world could stand to go back to a simpler time, when men were men, women were women, and the govt. knew its place.
Wonderful...thank you!
2:38 Dude at the bar has some wicked cool 😎 shades
That's because he's from Southern California, bro.....!!!! 🤣
Super good job of presenting these excellent photos. The timing of presentation is perfect. No too fast as some presenters are won’t to do. Bravo!

Thank you!!!🤘
We are the ones who thank you!
That one was a Boer soldier in S.A. It had no label, but the type of rifle and his appearance gave it away.
Nice call, I was wondering about it as well, the rifle caught my eye, a straight bolt Mauser I think.
@@Nothanksjustlooking130 That's what I thought.
Love this. Not an overweight person in any pics unlike today.
同意します､当然ですが健康的な生活をしていた様ですね
The Indians with Buffalo Bill had some pretty big guts.
I look a these pictures and I can’t help but wonder what they would think of our culture in 2024. I’m betting they would struggle with pronouns
They'd be pissed because how it is today was not our founding fathers intentions at all. The "people" they spoke about in Our US Constitution refers to us who descended from those here back then. "people" did not refer to the entire world's population.
The war between the states coming to my mind.
People think they were ignorant because most barely possessed an eighth grade education, but if you compare the final exams for eighth grade pre 1900, college graduates now would most definitely fail. Long story short, those people would be disappointed at the failure of most people now the use logic, reason, and problem solving skills. Oh, and they'd think we're mostly rude slobs
Nobody would have fought in the revolution if they knew what was coming.
They’d fucking puke 🤮
Amazing.
1:56 happiest I’ve seen them ever in my life.. crazy how times have changed.
Morenci, Arizona. Born and raised there.
And that was not that long ago,how life changed
So, my great grandfather who used to tell me stories was born in 1875, I guess I'm getting old
My grandfathers were born in 1895. West Virginia.
The Spanish settlers were the first in the new world 🌎
My grandfather was born in 1873 in Alabama and my father in Texas in 1913. They both could tell some stories, but mostly they said times were really tough in those early days post Civil War through the Great Depression.
didn't find Arthur Morgan. 9:17 Tumbleweed
Fantastic pics! But, @ 9:20. That’s not Northwood , Iowa. Iowa’s not known for its Joshua trees. Corn, yes. Yucca No
5:47 picture claimed to be take in Hot Springs Arkansas in 1901, the native elk had been exterminated from Arkansas by the 1840s. Rocky Mountain Elk were transplanted to Arkansas in the 1980s.
Not true
This is why Red Dead Redemption is so amazing, it almost copied the whole Wild West to perfection.
I see a lot of Towns in this Video that are also in the games when it comes to topography and stuff❤
Some of these places still exist on the Reservation, the bars, the homes, the horses all the same, when I go home its like walking into a past time
The last picture on here titled "wild old west" is current day Oatman, AZ on good Ole route 66 ! :) God Bless !
سپاس عالیه
ان زمان مردم واقعا زندگی سختی داشتند😢
Back when men were men and women knew their place and there was no confusion of the two😂
Interesting photos, but please explain at what point were: Rhode Island, Georgia, Virginia, W Virginia and Iowa considered the “Wild West?”
They may not be, they represent a freewheeling, carefree era!
9:18 This isn't a real place. It's a screenshot from Unreal Market. It's a learning kit for UE developers called "Old West Learning".
Maravilhoso!
I love the character of the faces and wonder what they were like.
interesting, but a few mis-captions
North Wood, Iowa with mountains, don’t think so.
the locomotive at 18:30 looks like it just got out of the local locomotive wash. it's very clear, considering where and when this is.
My favorite image is from Deadwood, SD in 1877, because they're not posing for the camera. So that's what you might have seen if you were walking down the streets of Deadwood in 1877.
9:26 Iowa??? u sure?
I think that your captions can use a little work.
At 9:23 is in no way Northwood Iowa. There are no mountains in iowa.
No cactus in Northwood Iowa
Or mountains.
They had a tough life

Narration would be nice. The captions don't stay on long enough for the eyes to adjust and read.
The Beaumont is a Hilton spa now I think

Great historical photos..

It breaks my heart to see how and what the US has become! I personally seen the horrible changes in my life time!
When men were men! 💪💪💪
Slaves before civil war. Clean environment, well dressed, father's in the home. Interesting. Good thing they did so much with their freedom.
What’s your point?
any info available on the music?
Back when men where men lord I wish I could live in those days 😿😿😿😿
we are all dust on earth....being watched and played like movies
Imagine having the misfortune to be an adult in that era. Horrible and primitive conditions not to mention how absolutely scary some of those men look
