@@davedean1571 LOL! My Dad used to joke with me about this song as a kid, I never put it together until 25+ years later, now with this video, who Dan Tucker was.
Josh First: EXCELLENT episode. Second, thank you so so much for the shoutout to Dad. That is the absolute nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I would but you a beer one day, but we are both sober; myself going on 6 years, so I did the next best thing as a thank you to you. I am now officially a Gunslinger in the Wild West Extravaganza posse. It’s the least I could to to thank you for taking the time to recognize someone I look up to so reverently. Thank you my Brother!!!!
@@WildWestExtravaganza he is. He just got back from a motorcycle ride to Colorado. 82 and he rode a bike from LA to Colorado and back. DAMN! Thank you again. Proud to know you and more proud to officially be part of the family!
Wow this is a man every person needs to look up to! Thanks Josh this is the little things I love about your channel. God speed Mr ( Bad ass) pordoux. Again hope I didn't butcher your name to bad.
Thank you for your excellent rendering of the story of another obscure old west lawman. Being a long retired third generation peace officer, those that served before me hold a genuine interest. My father, and his brother were officers in the late 1940s well into the early 1960s. Prior to them, it was my grandfather and his brother that were lawmen from the mid 1880s through the early 1930s. And prior to them there was an ancestor who was a member of the Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion in the late 1870s through 1890s. So stories about old lawmen appeal to this old man spending his days reminiscing. Again, many thanks.
@@timwilliams8343 I suppose I'm the last of my family as a peace officer. However, we've served our country in the military since 1776 until my time in Vietnam. And that ends too I suppose as I have no children to continue in either profession. It was our honor to serve our country and community over these many years. God bless the United States of America and I hope we survive the efforts of those bent upon destroying it from within. I pray they loose and our great nation remains strong. Ranger, out...
Thanks for this video. David Tucker, who has never gotten recognition, was a much tougher lawman than more lauded men like Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson ever were. A no nonsense individual. While Earp and Masterson were essentially gamblers and opportunists who wore a badge when it suited them, Tucker was a lawman first and foremost. Nothing less.
@@pamelamehl5668 Yes. Both men dedicated to their profession. Although Tucker's career did not extend beyond a corner of New Mexico. Reeves was a Deputy US Marshal with jurisdictional in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. Reeves was so dedicated he even arrested his own son for murder. Now THAT is integrity.

Regarding the concussions of the pistols “blowing out” the lamps in the saloon: 1. These lamps were not made of Pyrex glass. 2. The lamps would have used oil with a burning wick to create the light. This means the glass of the lamp would be hot on the inside and the heat would have exited the lamp and gone straight up. Glass is a thermal insulator so there could have been a significant temperature differential between the outside and inside of the glass that put physical strain on the crystalline structure. The sharp gradient produced by the sudden over-pressure of the concussion could be enough to break fragile glass or maybe it just blew out the flame of the wick. 3. At a card table, a chandelier with oil lamps in the 1880s would probably be positioned very low over the table to adequately illuminate the cards for the players. When players stood up and raised their weapons, the muzzles could have been very close physically to where the lamps actually were. Either the concussion could have disturbed the flame or the continuing ignition of the black powder propellant for a distance past the exit from the muzzle might have exhausted available oxygen in proximity of the lamp.
Josh, as someone who has done video and audio production, I want to commend you on your fine work. With our busy live it gets easy to half -ass it. You never do. That is the mark of a true professional. Thanks so much for all your hard work and effort!!
Shocking! And I listened to a few of your stories. This one was totally appalling. However sickening this makes me. I do enjoy your retelling of old west history along with your commentary. It’s so captivating I swear. Thanks my man.
Thanks again Josh! you keepa teachin' and we'll keepa listening and a learnin'!! I was surprised to learn the Dan Tucker we used to sing about was a deadly man, see, learn something every day!!
I was considering making a channel like this one when I found it doing research. I decided there was no need after watching the videos. Thanks for the entertainment and information.
I love the idea the gunfights in Shakespeare often started with shouts of "Curly Bill! I knoweth though made the beast with two backs with my favorite harlot! I shall popeth a cap in thine ass!" Who knew?
I got to show my dad your stuff on a road trip we took a few weeks ago. We really enjoyed laughing at your jokes as well as the quoted jokes of these people of history. Thank you for the quality of the work you do i really enjoy it.
Get out the way, of Ole Dan Tucker hes too late to get his supper suppers over and breakfast cookin, Ole Dan Tucker just stands there lookin. #3rd grade music class....Mrs. Sullivan participation was not optional ...non compliance swiftly dealt with via a wooden yardstick. 50+years later I still remember every song she taught us. Camptown Races still my favorite. thank you for the story sir
Hey Josh, check out Six years with the Texas Rangers by James B Gillett. He served from 1875-1881, the book is a wealth of information on not only Texas Ranger history but also indian depredations in and around Texas, punitive expeditions against them afterward, the Salt Wars, John Wesley Hardin, chasing Victorio into Mexico, etc. An absolute wealth of knowledge and history. After the Rangers, he worked under Dallas Stoudemayer as deputy marshall in a town im sure you've heard of. Love your channel, keep up the good work. A Librivox recording is available on UA-cam if you cannot secure a copy of the book.
I can tell you really work incredibly hard on your research and writing etc. I really appreciat and respect that. You bring the people and old west to life and give it excitement and purpose . I am honored myself to he a member of your channel sir. I look forward to your next story.
Thank you Josh, because of you I acquired a pair of reading glasses, in which my Granddaughter gets a dollar every time she declares they are on my Grey head. Seriously, love what you do. 👍

Lots of pressure out the gap of revolvers cylinders and barrel! Possibly how Dan got some burn wonds ! Wasn’t there a little song about Old Dan Tucker lol thanks for the video!!
@WildWestExtravaganza Congrats on another outstanding story! Well-researched, nuanced and narrated! Have to wonder if Dan was illiterate and that may have contributed to him being shunned or ignored by journalists and politicos?
From Canada? 🇨🇦 Maybe the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, then known as the North West Mounted Police, has some sort of record on him…if that was even his real name. This truly was a great narrative and Thank You.👍
Love your stories. I would love to hear you do a story on the Massacre of Wild horse Lake. It took place in the Oklahoma Panhandle between two Kansas towns. Oklahoma Panhandle was not part of the United States at the time it happened and the shooters all got off Scott Free. It is a good story you will like to read and probably like to tell
Always enjoyable content Josh. Thank You for the research effort to compile these episodes. Hope that You are doing better now. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
I can see why the prisons back then weren't over crowded. Salt deeds for 1598??? I'll be there was a lot of Comanches around back then. I'm reminded of that song "Get out the way - old Dan Tucker." Perhaps his later drinking could be his using it as a pain killer for all those bullet wounds. One of the traits of psychopaths can be a lack of fear and trepidation. Handy traits for surgeons and early law men. Hollywood is dearly in need of a new Western along the lines of Silverodo. This one could just be titled Dan Tucker. Great story. Thanks.
Love Stabby McStabface. Shakespeare is a National Historic Location. It is open for tours and everyone should go. BTW, there is no known picture of Tucker.
Great to hear the story behind the name, "Dangerous Dan Tucker", who I've heard about only 2 or 3 times, and without any elaboration beyond mention of him bein a lawman. I'm watchin for your previous episodes, as I run across them, and watch any I have not seen, once in a while, I start one and realize I did see it already, an dependin, I watch it thru again. I don't know if you have heard of Bill McDonald, a Capt. in the Texas Rangers. Morenlikley, you have, though he ain't as well known as some Rangers got to be, his rangerin adventures were as 'wild an wooly' as any of even the best known, even more so, then some of Them. Anyhow, I know you would do a great episode or two, as usual, built around him. I will be watchin in case u do. Actually, I be watchin anyhow.All the best.
Way to go,Josh. I done already jerked iron and blew the lamps outta my house..possibly the neighbors house, too. You gotta get on that "not advocating " a little faster!
For reference, the cut-down 19 inch barrel on Dan Tucker's shotgun was about the same length as modern pump shotguns carried in police cruisers. Most of those are typically 18 inch barrels. Made it about the same length as Cavalry carbines carried in the Civil War and modern full sized AR-15's. Imo, it was probably cut down for handling inside buildings, tight spots, and from horseback.
Thank you Josh . Love the wild West extravaganza content maybe one day you'll be able to do an episode on Irish gun fighter James H. Leavy from the book the deadly dozen.
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face with a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
The hound dog barked and billy goat jumped
And landed old Tucker on a stump
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Old Dan Tucker got drunk an fell
In the fire and kicked up holy hell
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
An oh my Lord the ashes flew
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Now Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging them ladies all round
First to the right an then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved best
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Way to go,Josh. I done already jerked iron and blew the lamps outta my house..possibly the neighbors house, too. You gotta get on that "not advocating " a little faster!

Welcome back, Josh!
Thanks
For reference, the cut-down 19 inch barrel on Dan Tucker's shotgun was about the same length as modern pump shotguns carried in police cruisers. Most of those are typically 18 inch barrels. Made it about the same length as Cavalry carbines carried in the Civil War and modern full sized AR-15's. Imo, it was probably cut down for handling inside buildings, tight spots, and from horseback.
