Hart was a great friend to the Native Americans and went into films to more realistically portray the old West and Native American life. If you get a chance tour his estate in Newhall CA and you'll see his total respect and adoration of the Native American peoples and traditions.
What a legend. I think he took John Wayne under his arm in the beginning of his career. With Wyatt Earp who was a consultant in William S. Hart's movies.
Unrelated to the clip, but if this was shot on *his* ranch, I'm wondering if it's the same as the one that ended up hosting the Manson Family in the 60s.
@@mortkamins4943 Interesting. I'd read in a couple of places that Hart had owned what eventually became the Spahn Ranch (after it changed hands once or twice after he died), and thought it might be the same property.
A star of the silent era. No wonder he didn't make in "talkies". Romance of the old west. The is no mention of Indians and how they live today. There is truth in the saying, "never meet your heros", because it usually ends in disappointment.
Doing my family tree, I discovered this gentleman. I am a descendant of his sister, Mary. What a wonderful thing to discover!
That's amazing. Are you in touch with the people overseeing the house and grounds and legacy? I know they want to connect with family members. x
@@jwsuicides8095 I am not unfortunately. I am doing my family tree and discovering all sorts of things. I wish I could!
Thanks for posting this great piece history of an American Hollywood cowboy. Happy trails !
What a commanding and compelling voice. Too bad he didn't make more sound films.
Incredible writing, voice, and delivery. Class act, through-and-through.
Very well done farewell speech about his career. He was a great actor. His movies were very authentic back in the early days of film.

This was his only talkie and his final film role before he passed in 46'

So moving a great silent Cowboy stars farewell. 🙏🇺🇸
My great uncle was an Aboriginal in four of his movies
🤠Thank you ❤👍March 23 , 2024
If you ever had a horse like Fritz, you'd miss him too. The Hart-Fritz team totally ruled. Hart speaks completely unlike his cowboy caption dialect.
My true western hero, Charles Angelo Siringo, was also an historical consultant for Bill Hart's films.
He was a dirty mercenary.
Good night Sir- rest well

No--the Manson family were around 20 miles away at the Spahn Ranch.
