Love the choice of background music for this one, very creative. Also going to check out those books you suggested, we cant forget about the Buffalo soldier in red dead revolver he was an awesome character.
The song is ''when Johnny came marching home" a popular song from the American civil war of 1861-1865, possibly based upon (or copied by) the Irish song 'johnny I hardly knew yee'. In general the music from that war and the 1800s is great. A few personal suggestions include: Battle cry of freedom Battle hymn of the Republic Dixie Shenandoah Lorena Also on a random note there are 2 really great documentaries on the history of the west and american civil war by the talented documentation Ken burns: The civil war The west- (can be found on youtube and covers whole history of the west from custer, wounded knee, Spain, gold rushes and more)
Gonna have to disagree and say that it's not exactly a creative choice, but that's a good thing. Creative would be something less likely than a song associated with old wars.
Could not have come at a better time, currently making a short film about a Cavalry officer who deserts in the 1890s and I definitely want the uniforms to look as accurate as possible. Love the channel, keep the amazing content coming!

@@cbadger7616 I believe its just called greatcoat in the game but it has a light sky blue color you can choose and covers your shoulders as well which are both fairly accurate to the real things.
I did Sergio's outfit, a character from Red Dead Revolver.

I noticed you had spoken a bit on how it was hard to create an outfit with a proper military-like overcoat or blouse, however there are atleast two possible candidates that could be used for suitable stand-ins if you want to have a little creative liberty, Both the Hopsmere Cardigan and the Windcliff Coat have close to a navy blue color being just a shade or two shy of the Frontiersman Shirt in color.
Don’t know if you’ve gotten this request but is it possible for you to make a Mexican bandito or anything Mexican related i would be really interested in that thanks keep up the good work :)
It's happening, amigos. Stay tuned. When the offended ones start in on the comment section, I'll be counting on you guys to circle the wagons. This one's a long time coming, and I'm pumped I could deliver for the community. Thanks for all your support, guys. Let's do this.
I know this is going to seem like I’m a super motivated Marine but I would like to see a video on how to make a historically accurate Marine from the time. I love your videos, this time period in American history, and Red Dead Redemption.
@@N.W1316 it was pretty similar to us army uniforms that they wore in the Philippines and china but it had red piping and the anchor and globe and the campaign hat
The folded brim on the Regimental Hat (Hardee Hat) was fold3d up on the right for those saluting with a sword, and folded up on the left for those with shouldered arms. The side was folded up so as not to be hit by the weapon being shouldered.
The blue carver pants has a yellow line going down the pant legs but it’s made of a fringe material. If you can overlook that you’re golden in the pants department.
Not only do I like that you tell us what items are accurate, I really really love that you give us historical backgrounds because they’re just so interesting and informative! Love all the hard work you do for us! And im really happy to see your channel growing ! Keep it up! Ps please remember me when you get to 1million subscribers 😆 👍🏼
Absolutely fantastic! I have a great interest in historical uniforms and firearms, often attempting to replicate them in my favourite games. Thank you for all the pointers!
I honestly think you have a talent for making these videos where you connect gaming to their real life history counterparts. These videos are your peak 🙏❤️
The amount of research, footage acquisition, phone calls, editing--Man, you are a BEAST! Mind-blowing! 🤯 (My husband is actually related to Cynthia Ann Parker, and the Ross'es, so we read 'Empire of the Summer Moon' together with an especial interest-a great book!) This is perfectly timed, as I have a 'noob' friend who wants to make his character a Soldier/Cavalryman. He was on the right track-but this will help. I'll make sure he checks out this video! Thanks for all you do for us, Man! 🤠💕
Thanks, Whisky! Very cool! Cynthia Ann Parker is a tragic, but fascinating tale. Well covered by Gwynne. Glad to hear the video will be of use to your friend!
Loved the video, I made my soldier outfit a long time ago by looking up pictures online. This is just my personal choice if anyone is interested: Hat: deadham hat (came in outlaw pass), military scout hat in brown or stalker hat in black/brown. Neckwear: a brown neckerchief, I chose the darker one Shirt: navy blue pardon shirt Suspenders: cross back detail suspenders in tan/brown Gloves: workman's gloves in black Frontiersman belt (if you have it) Pants: light blue clerk pants Chaps: tan military half chaps Boots: black cavalry boots (I'll try to post a picture of my character) Again, love the video man, I surely will make modifications to my outfit to make it more historically accurate.
I again want to thank you for helping my friend with his research paper from a couple months ago. He got a great grade and is really proud it, and he is eternally grateful for your help and information!
I can't tell you how much I love these videos. Not only do you clearly love this game, you're also incredibly knowledgeable without ever coming across as stuck up or conceited. I learn a lot of cool stuff in these videos, honestly I would love to just listen to you talk about history for six hours lmao. You present the facts as is with no bias or sugarcoating, acknowledging the bad things America did while also highlighting that our country was still rather young and developing at the time. If I may ask, where do you get all your information from? You seem to have a lot of access to old books and stuff like that. I've always wanted to do a bunch of digging on my own on various topics, but the internet is not always a reliable source.
Thank you, my friend! Mighty kind words. I strive to stay true to history- not political correctness. I get all my info from scholarly books, the Library of Congress newspaper archive, the British Newspaper Archives, and museum experts. I take all that and distill it down- trying to make it simple, accurate, and interesting.
Been rocking that blue workshirt military fit for a while, it's probably one of my favorite RDO shirts tbh. Also, didn't know the yellow neckerchef was historically inaccurate. Will have to change mine out for a black one. Great vid though, love your content!
Thanks, Tyler. I too love the blue workshirt. More than the frontiersman shirt in fact. Just looks much more rugged and authentic. Yeah, you can use any color of neckerchief- but they were not standard issue, so folks just purchased and wore what they wanted. Blue, red, black, and white were common. Hope that helps!
these videos have helped me with more stuff than just rdr2 im working on a mod series for a game called "people playground" and I've used this video as the basis for the outfit. And the mod is based on the Indian wars so this video is spot on! Keep up the great work man. Edit: And these videos will help me in the mod series i just began tonight ill have more settlers and law men outlaws etc. and ill even try to take inspiration from the roles video I really love your videos they have helped me and I have to be at least .4% of the views i watch them so much
I’d love you to look into the everyday life of citizens around the world, story mode would probably be best for this, but making a video about the lives of lawmen, hunters, citizens, etc, seems like a great thing to look at!
I read this book called On the Border with Crook and it was about the 3rd Cav. during the Indian Wars around Arizona by the Superstition Mountains. I thought it was a really good book and it shed some light on the fighting that happened there.
Actually the extended barrel on the Cattleman would match the 7.5in standard SAA pretty well. That model is often called the 'Cavalry' model for a reason. The standard barrel ingame is more like the 'artillery' model which is 5.5in I suppose you might use the long barrel to replicate the Bisley 12in SAA but that has a totally different grip also.
I would like to point out that I found out the studded pants in clean blue look PERFECT to m1883 trousers, I have a pair irl and the color and cut looks identical, way better than the clerk pants
Could you do a historically accurate outdoorsman? A person that spends a lot of time outdoors and in nature. I have an outfit i really like but I want to make sure its historically accurate.
Also Fort Vasquez in Plattville CO. No bigger then a modern home but walled and fortified. Lots of Indian attacks along the Platte and Pouder valleys back in the western days
A substitute for the yellow stripe of the trousers is to use the Carver pants when they are in stock. the yellow line is a bit meh but it works fine. I wish RDR2O had the frontiersman outfit gear for the PC.
If you ever wish to make a civil war outfit and use era appropriate firearms there's only five in game that being the LeMat and Navy Revolvers, the Volcanic Pistol, and the Carbine and Litchfield Repeaters.
A few of these (in a carbine version) were tested out in the SW against Apaches in the 1890s, so I suppose they technically were present. Just not standard issue is all. Anyway, glad you mentioned them.
@@ManvsHistory It wasn't crtiszing, just wanted to share some knowledge i had. Considering the rifle also has some Norwegian orgins, technically it kinda has orgins in all of the Scandinavia countires. Anyway, I love the Krag-jørgensen so just wanted to share. Thanks for the reply i hope you are having a good day.
Excellent as usual! The Relative Average Pay in One Hundred Occupations table is interesting. I had to look up the description of many of the obsolete occupations. I appreciate your attention to details and the enormous research you do.
Indeed. Some others have brought this up as well. I thought I added something to the description correcting this, but perhaps I ‘m just thinking I had.
I believe there were a bunch of clothing items in the first Outlaw Pass that would be just perfect to create a nice soldier outfit. All your suggestions are great too. Very nice video as always!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I believe so far the film Hostiles is a good representation of the relationship between members of the US Army and the natives they fought. It’s not always black and white and yet war still remains ugly no matter who fightings.
I should I have brought this up back in your lawman video. But from what I’ve been told my great grandfather on my grandmother’s side was a high sheriff back in the 1800s (too obvious I know) and settled down in Montana after he married a native woman. I keep guessing she it was Crow, Cree, or Cheyenne or others in that territory. Could’ve been either. But she left for the reservation. As far as I know, my grandmother’s daddy wasn’t a lawman, but a trapper for a long time before he left south for Arkansas where I was born and raised.
I live in San Angelo Texas which is home to Fort Concho which I think housed an important general for Christmas, and because we don’t have pines out here they decorated a cedar bush
Yeah. I know the story had Arthur grow up with Dutch's gang, but too bad that Arthur wasn't ex-military instead and had a Calvary uniform to use on occasion. I gave up trying to outfit Arthur that way and now I'm just trying to dress him up like their upperclassman fellow outlaw (I forget his name) or as a lawman. LOL
"What youve all ben waiting for, the clothing" i have to admit i dont really care about the RDO stuff, but i love your historical facts. Its a good thing to use Video Games to make it visul interresting.

Why I imagine an rdr2 style game but in the aztec and Spanish war
It's happening, amigos. Stay tuned. When the offended ones start in on the comment section, I'll be counting on you guys to circle the wagons. This one's a long time coming, and I'm pumped I could deliver for the community. Thanks for all your support, guys. Let's do this.
I know this is going to seem like I’m a super motivated Marine but I would like to see a video on how to make a historically accurate Marine from the time. I love your videos, this time period in American history, and Red Dead Redemption.
@@northscrow9316 passion for history is borderless my friend
@@N.W1316 it was pretty similar to us army uniforms that they wore in the Philippines and china but it had red piping and the anchor and globe and the campaign hat
The folded brim on the Regimental Hat (Hardee Hat) was fold3d up on the right for those saluting with a sword, and folded up on the left for those with shouldered arms. The side was folded up so as not to be hit by the weapon being shouldered.
The blue carver pants has a yellow line going down the pant legs but it’s made of a fringe material. If you can overlook that you’re golden in the pants department.
You deserve a job at rockstar in my opinion.
Thanks for making this, I’ve been wanting to make a historically accurate soldier for a while now.

Thank god this video came out in my lunch period I’ve been looking forward to this for a while
Not only do I like that you tell us what items are accurate, I really really love that you give us historical backgrounds because they’re just so interesting and informative! Love all the hard work you do for us! And im really happy to see your channel growing ! Keep it up!
Ps please remember me when you get to 1million subscribers 😆 👍🏼
Thank you, Doc. I'll remember you!
@@northscrow9316 Thank you, Crow! Much obliged!
Tbh man vs history is the best youtuber in the world and thanks for makin this vid
Ha! I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I won't stop you from saying it, lol. Thanks, Colton.
@@ManvsHistory no problem man keep up the good work!!!
Was just watching “the 7th cavalry”. Inaccurate, I know. But I love classic movies, so I’m gonna go make one of their uniforms.
Absolutely fantastic! I have a great interest in historical uniforms and firearms, often attempting to replicate them in my favourite games. Thank you for all the pointers!
Happy to help, Brennan!
I requested this video like a day ago but im sure others requested it too, but these types of videos are really interested
Unrelated but those paintings of battles were incredible
You're the first to mention them! I love those artists- Frederick Remington and Charles Schreyvogel. I need to acquire some for my office.
@@ManvsHistory A modern Western artist you might also appreciate is Howard Terpening!😉
100% agreed!🤩
@@WhiskyGravy I'll have to check him out! Thank you!
@@WhiskyGravy Just looked him up. He's incredible. I loved 'The Ploy'. What an amazing painting.
I honestly think you have a talent for making these videos where you connect gaming to their real life history counterparts. These videos are your peak 🙏❤️
Thanks, Ryuu!
If you don’t have the frontier’s men shirt, the navy blue work shirt and navy paddon shirts are good alternatives
The amount of research, footage acquisition, phone calls, editing--Man, you are a BEAST! Mind-blowing! 🤯
(My husband is actually related to Cynthia Ann Parker, and the Ross'es, so we read 'Empire of the Summer Moon' together with an especial interest-a great book!)
This is perfectly timed, as I have a 'noob' friend who wants to make his character a Soldier/Cavalryman. He was on the right track-but this will help. I'll make sure he checks out this video!
Thanks for all you do for us, Man! 🤠💕
Thanks, Whisky! Very cool! Cynthia Ann Parker is a tragic, but fascinating tale. Well covered by Gwynne. Glad to hear the video will be of use to your friend!
the sheer amount of studying that this man does is honorable
Ha! Thanks, Lucas!
Loved the video, I made my soldier outfit a long time ago by looking up pictures online. This is just my personal choice if anyone is interested:
Hat: deadham hat (came in outlaw pass), military scout hat in brown or stalker hat in black/brown.
Neckwear: a brown neckerchief, I chose the darker one
Shirt: navy blue pardon shirt
Suspenders: cross back detail suspenders in tan/brown
Gloves: workman's gloves in black
Frontiersman belt (if you have it)
Pants: light blue clerk pants
Chaps: tan military half chaps
Boots: black cavalry boots
(I'll try to post a picture of my character)
Again, love the video man, I surely will make modifications to my outfit to make it more historically accurate.
I again want to thank you for helping my friend with his research paper from a couple months ago. He got a great grade and is really proud it, and he is eternally grateful for your help and information!
I can't tell you how much I love these videos. Not only do you clearly love this game, you're also incredibly knowledgeable without ever coming across as stuck up or conceited. I learn a lot of cool stuff in these videos, honestly I would love to just listen to you talk about history for six hours lmao. You present the facts as is with no bias or sugarcoating, acknowledging the bad things America did while also highlighting that our country was still rather young and developing at the time. If I may ask, where do you get all your information from? You seem to have a lot of access to old books and stuff like that. I've always wanted to do a bunch of digging on my own on various topics, but the internet is not always a reliable source.
Thank you, my friend! Mighty kind words. I strive to stay true to history- not political correctness. I get all my info from scholarly books, the Library of Congress newspaper archive, the British Newspaper Archives, and museum experts. I take all that and distill it down- trying to make it simple, accurate, and interesting.
Been rocking that blue workshirt military fit for a while, it's probably one of my favorite RDO shirts tbh. Also, didn't know the yellow neckerchef was historically inaccurate. Will have to change mine out for a black one. Great vid though, love your content!
Thanks, Tyler. I too love the blue workshirt. More than the frontiersman shirt in fact. Just looks much more rugged and authentic. Yeah, you can use any color of neckerchief- but they were not standard issue, so folks just purchased and wore what they wanted. Blue, red, black, and white were common. Hope that helps!
This channel is so awesome, video games are why I fell in love with history and now I'm going into grad school as an Americanist Scholar
historically accurate cavalry men outfit ?
Close enough great video sir!
I've been waiting for this
This is not just a tutorial. This is a history lesson. Thank you.
You're breathing new life into a game we love. Good on ya.
Thanks, Jack!
these videos have helped me with more stuff than just rdr2 im working on a mod series for a game called "people playground" and I've used this video as the basis for the outfit. And the mod is based on the Indian wars so this video is spot on! Keep up the great work man.
Edit: And these videos will help me in the mod series i just began tonight ill have more settlers and law men outlaws etc. and ill even try to take inspiration from the roles video I really love your videos they have helped me and I have to be at least .4% of the views i watch them so much
I’d love you to look into the everyday life of citizens around the world, story mode would probably be best for this, but making a video about the lives of lawmen, hunters, citizens, etc, seems like a great thing to look at!
I read this book called On the Border with Crook and it was about the 3rd Cav. during the Indian Wars around Arizona by the Superstition Mountains. I thought it was a really good book and it shed some light on the fighting that happened there.
Actually the extended barrel on the Cattleman would match the 7.5in standard SAA pretty well. That model is often called the 'Cavalry' model for a reason. The standard barrel ingame is more like the 'artillery' model which is 5.5in
I suppose you might use the long barrel to replicate the Bisley 12in SAA but that has a totally different grip also.
You're correct here, Kyle. At first I thought the extended barrel was longer than 7.5", but upon reflection, I think it's correct as the cavalry 7.5".
Awesome video we need more military esque stuff in the game like a calvary saber or a old style military shovel.
My grandsons were quite excited to be a part of this! Nice enactment.
That's great! Who were your grandsons?
🥳🥳 I’ve been Waiting for this one to release
Johnny I hardly knew / when Johnny comes marching home, good choice of music man
Man vs. History: Yellow Neckerchief is a Hollywood thing and not accurate
Me: *still wears Yellow neckerchief*
It does look good...
I always thought the yellow handkerchiefs were strange. It makes sense that they were an artistic liberty courtesy of Hollywood.
Absolutley love to see more Western content, always so refreshing to see RDO get some love!
literally 99% of his content is western
@@tom02061997 yeah and its great
I would like to point out that I found out the studded pants in clean blue look PERFECT to m1883 trousers, I have a pair irl and the color and cut looks identical, way better than the clerk pants
Could you do a historically accurate outdoorsman? A person that spends a lot of time outdoors and in nature. I have an outfit i really like but I want to make sure its historically accurate.
He's done a Mountain Man. Basically the same thing
Also Fort Vasquez in Plattville CO. No bigger then a modern home but walled and fortified. Lots of Indian attacks along the Platte and Pouder valleys back in the western days
Everyone who plays rdo should watch theese videos... Awesome stuff!
I went B Movie Western.
Josey Wales bad man “RedLegs”.
You can creat by hunting a pair of Red Half chaps. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Video Idea: "How to Create a Historically Accurate Lumberjack".
Favourite channel, stared playing rdr 2 online because I finally have a cool outfit thanks to this legend
Ha! Thanks, Boston! Happy to hear that, my friend!
A substitute for the yellow stripe of the trousers is to use the Carver pants when they are in stock. the yellow line is a bit meh but it works fine. I wish RDR2O had the frontiersman outfit gear for the PC.
I love these videos. They make me actually remember the history I was taught unlike school.
Please make a video on how to make a historically accurate Baron, I think that would be a really interesting one
I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this video! Great job man, keep it up
Oh man I’ve been waiting for this for so long now. You should make a Instagram so we can ask you direct questions that would be easier to access
If you ever wish to make a civil war outfit and use era appropriate firearms there's only five in game that being the LeMat and Navy Revolvers, the Volcanic Pistol, and the Carbine and Litchfield Repeaters.
Not entirely true there was so much variety in the Civil War any weapon would be used if in the era of course. But these weapons took up the majority
I would like to point out that the Krag-jørgensen in game Bolt Action rifle was also used by the US miletary after buying the right to make them.
A few of these (in a carbine version) were tested out in the SW against Apaches in the 1890s, so I suppose they technically were present. Just not standard issue is all. Anyway, glad you mentioned them.
@@ManvsHistory It wasn't crtiszing, just wanted to share some knowledge i had. Considering the rifle also has some Norwegian orgins, technically it kinda has orgins in all of the Scandinavia countires. Anyway, I love the Krag-jørgensen so just wanted to share.
Thanks for the reply i hope you are having a good day.
@@Captain-Axeman Ha! Of course not, man! I didn't take it in that way at all!
Can confirm. I have a Springfield armory 1896 model myself. Amazing rifle
all of the red dead online roleplayers watch this guy, i loved ur vaquero video and im currently using an outfit based on the guide!
Awesome!
I recently found out I'm related to George Custer Armstrong so I might attempt to recreate him as my character in rdo sometime

Excellent as usual! The Relative Average Pay in One Hundred Occupations table is interesting. I had to look up the description of many of the obsolete occupations. I appreciate your attention to details and the enormous research you do.
Thanks Sue! We need to have another dinner, btw!
That new hd camera looking nice👌, amazing video by the way, keep them coming!
Thanks for noticing! Yeah, it's an upgrade for sure!
The Standard barrel for the cattleman is a 5.5 inch barrel, the longer one is the 7.5 one
Indeed. Some others have brought this up as well. I thought I added something to the description correcting this, but perhaps I ‘m just thinking I had.
@@ManvsHistory all good, I love your content btw
@@mosquito4581 Thanks, partner!
I believe there were a bunch of clothing items in the first Outlaw Pass that would be just perfect to create a nice soldier outfit. All your suggestions are great too. Very nice video as always!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Man I wish rockstar hire you for ideas :(( the amount of passion u put into it
You should do some historically accurate gun customization.
I'd say any gun customization in RDO is historically accurate, as guns were heavily modified by enthusiast, and you could see a lot of variety
This has to be my most favorite video! Keep up the good work brother!
I believe so far the film Hostiles is a good representation of the relationship between members of the US Army and the natives they fought. It’s not always black and white and yet war still remains ugly no matter who fightings.
Agreed. I loved that movie. Great costumes as well.
Yes sir!
I should I have brought this up back in your lawman video. But from what I’ve been told my great grandfather on my grandmother’s side was a high sheriff back in the 1800s (too obvious I know) and settled down in Montana after he married a native woman. I keep guessing she it was Crow, Cree, or Cheyenne or others in that territory. Could’ve been either. But she left for the reservation. As far as I know, my grandmother’s daddy wasn’t a lawman, but a trapper for a long time before he left south for Arkansas where I was born and raised.
@@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233 Very cool!
I figured I’d share what I knew. Your videos are inspirational msn.
I live in San Angelo Texas which is home to Fort Concho which I think housed an important general for Christmas, and because we don’t have pines out here they decorated a cedar bush
A video about hunter or fur trader outfits would be greatly appreciated as that's my main role in the game
Great work! We appreciate all the hard work you put into to make these videos.
Thanks, Daniel!
Shame how limited the options are for soldier cosplay
Yeah. I know the story had Arthur grow up with Dutch's gang, but too bad that Arthur wasn't ex-military instead and had a Calvary uniform to use on occasion. I gave up trying to outfit Arthur that way and now I'm just trying to dress him up like their upperclassman fellow outlaw (I forget his name) or as a lawman. LOL
"What youve all ben waiting for, the clothing" i have to admit i dont really care about the RDO stuff, but i love your historical facts. Its a good thing to use Video Games to make it visul interresting.
Fair enough! The history's more interesting to me as well!
