Old West OUTLAW Turned Lawman: Frank Canton & the Johnson County War COMPILATION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Frank Canton was born Josiah Horner, the outlaw leader of the infamous Horner gang that would terrorize North Texas during the mid-1870s. After a battle with the United States military and several arrests, Horner escapes prison and reinvents himself as Frank Canton, the epitome of law and order and a relentless pursuer of evil-doers. For the next several decades, Canton worked as a detective, Sheriff, and Deputy U.S. Marshal, as well as being a key player in the Johnson County War. From Texas to Wyoming, Alaska, and even Indian Territory, Frank Canton's story has it all! Outlaws, lawmen, range wars, and even vampires! This is a COMPILATION from a previously released series. #wildwest #history #cowboy

Dear Wild West Extravaganza at Josh, sir you really do have one of the top 3 channels on utube. Your research is excellent and reading presentation puts this listener right there at the scene. I couldn't ask for more! I don't hardly ever make comments on any of the utube channels I follow but you hold a special place in my heart and mind so much so that I wanted to tell you that I haven't watched television for over a decade, tv programming is fake, and I am so happy utube suggested your channel almost 6-8 months ago now, only wish our household budget allowed us to be able to financially support your work, would love to do that. Perhaps our circumstances will change and the day will come that we, my husband, 62 years old, and I, 67 years old, can support you in some way because if any content creator on utube deserves it you most certainly do sir!! Until then sir albeit only verbally we give you much respect, our admiration and appreciation for your work, Josh. Thank you so much sir!! Love, your Arkansan history buffs and WWE fans!
Hello Arkansas! Thank you for the kind words, ma'am. I'm honored to have you and your groom listening.
TV programing is indeed deplorable and no longer relevant....@@WildWestExtravaganza
One of top 3? Trying to start a fight? Top o the top, Budrow brother mine!
Watch out for those vampires. I don't know about Texas, but Wyoming was full of them 😂
Haha
THREE HOURS!!! Is it Christmas??
I just checked the calendar and yes, yes it is Christmas
Every day like Christmas!
😂
It is now 😊
It is today! I watched this stuff just so I can go to sleep
Holy crap what did we do to deserve this. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you for listening
WOW I really appreciate this 3 hours of Josh's Wild West stories.
Thanks
Most people wont be able to appreciate how much work goes into these. Especially a vid this long which isnt as simple as slapping a cool thumbnail on and talking for 3 hours and thats just the recording, the research must be time consuming as hell. But its appreciated. 👍👍
Thanks!!!
Enjoyed it, matter a fact loved it. I’m from northwest Oklahoma and studied western history all my life. I’m only 73. Have listened to 3 or 4 episodes on your channel and they’ve all been great. I’ve been to a lot of the places you reference which lets me easily visualize your stories. Thanks for the trips. No
This is the longest youtube I've ever listened to, and very minute was worth my time. People sure lived different lives back then.
Thanks! Yep, different times
I have no clue how long your channel has been up but I'm glad its doing well, you do good stuff dude
Hey, thanks!
We’re just getting spoiled now!! Lol thanks Josh!!
Nah haha
As a Black American 💪🏿✊🏿 Thank you for speaking out about true history!
Tales of Vampires, Aliens and Interdimensional Beings right there amid the Johnson County Cattle War.
EeeeHaaa let's ride. Thanks Josh.
Thank YOU
It’s not “woke” to know the true history of our country. It’s important for our country and world to acknowledge the true history of our collective past and not the glossed over fluffy stories. If we don’t learn from our past mistakes we will be doomed to repeat it again and again.
Agreed
As was often the case back then criminals and lawmen were found to have filled both roles at one time or another and depending on who is telling the story. I never heard this one and loved it. Thanks.
Best content on my UA-cam feed nowadays. Really quality stuff dude.
Too kind
This is so awesome. 3 hours of Wild West goodness!
This was just awesome Josh. Thanks for covering down on this. Nate Champion seems to be a legend
Nate was tough
Absolutely incredible work to entertain us with Americana! Hats off!
Thanks George
Vampires still to this day shiver with fear at just the mention of Frank Canton.
Yep, little known fact
A cold, gray English morning, brightened up by a quality video from Josh- many thanks my friend,
yours is my go-to channel for all things Western Frontier!! 🙏🇬🇧😉👍
Thanks Alan!
Damn Josh, wish this level of research was around when i was a kid watching PBS channel 9 in san Antonio.
O yeah the 44cal Winchester is a better rifle then the henry. Winchester bought henry. The Winchester rifle was known as the model of 1866. Also known a the" yellow boy". Its basically a Henry with upgrades. The henry had to be loaded from the muzzle. You would twist the barrel and then you could load the magazine tube. the henry had no front Forearm making it hard to hold when it gets hot. what Winchester did was put a loading gate on the side of the frame. makes the rifle so much easier to load and and top off. They put a front forearm on the rifle. The henry and the 1866 used the same ammo a rimfire 44. The 1866 i believe is one of the best looking rifles ever made. It was basically the father of the 1873 Winchester.
Gotcha, good info!
This is enough to carry me through a third of a work day! Merci, kind sir!
De rien
I must admit not a fan of longer than 30 min vids even if great content. Dam this short attention span. However this one was a jewel to listen to.
Please keep up the awesome vids my man!

As usual, Josh, great job. I spent a few years in Wyoming and saw many places, and am well acquainted with the history. I applaud you for your accuracy and great presentation. I really enjoyed it.
I appreciate it
Been a wild night listening to this! Thanks, man!

Hey Josh, Thanks for the awesome content!!! These men were no doubt men of their time and therefore it would be unwise....heck even unfair for us to pass any kind of judgment. Great work!!

Imagine interviewing this dude in his old age…you’d have to conduct it in several days maybe even weeks..what a character ! 😃
I wonder what he’d tell us from his honest viewpoint 🤔
Excellently done…was putting a large jigsaw puzzle together while intently listening in a zen state of mind…I finished my puzzle ! 🧩
Awesome!
Really enjoyed this at 76 sorry didn’t find it sooner you are amazing
Thanks! Glad you're here now!
Growing up in Wyoming we studied the Johnson County Cattle War and Tom Horn and it was pretty boring . I think you do a great job keeping the history of the west alive by teaching it accurately and keeping it interesting. I hope you get to see the west someday and visit all the places you talked about .
I hope I can too
Josh... You're the f'n best! Ive been listen🎉a very long time. Just can't say cuz I don't want anyone to know how bad my memory is. Love you! You're not a sleeping pill. Quite the opposite. I start and can't stop. Keep up the good work.
I'm going to try!!!
Awesome work man
Thanks!
A distinguished gentleman indeed...great picture of Frank Canton...it was way way different back in those days..aww to have a time machine....

I lived in Wyoming for 80 years. 🎉
THE LONGEST ROPE GETS THE MAVERICK was one of the books written about the Johnson County War.
I look forward to all of the new episodes.. 👀🥸
DAMN! that was Freakin’ good.
Opinion on Frank? The short version (ie not backed by argument) is Frank was human like the rest of us. (Josh, if you want the “war& peace” length version in an email, let me know 👍)
Email away good sir

🙌
Whoa, three hours? I have heard of Canton but didn’t realize there was amazing story behind him.
Last hour of this is excellent😢😅
Thanks James
Man theses are incredible videos. Truly
Thanks
You got Cartman in there when he puts a synonym for evil! AWESOME! From Norway!
Great narrative!
Thank you
Really dig your pod cast friend. The way you tell the stories is cool. Subed.
Much appreciated!
Now I just want a story 'bout the vampires of the old west😅
Same
Joe Horner, aka Frank Canton was one of the most devious western outlaw chameleons with the ability to adapt and profit from any of his chosen environments. Those not chosen by him for residence were lucky, because in spite of the few good things he did in his late life, he was morally a deceitful crook, assassin, thief, liar and coward as this video accurately portrays and thank goodness it dispels the rumor that he was a Texas Ranger. That he was ever a lawman is despicable almost as much as his horrible deeds in Johnson County, including the probable assassination of U.S. Deputy Marshal George Wellman who was dry gulched on his way home in a wagon full of Christmas presents for his family. In spite of his legacy, Canton ranks near the top of the list of evil doers in the Old West with the biggest tragedy being that history has been too kind to him. Enjoyed the mention of Texan Lawman/Invader Jeff Mynett whose Colt .45 I own, is verified by serial on Walcott's list so have studied the JCW extensively. Thanks for this exposure, but would be better without the profanity.
Thanks Kurt
Great video
Love it
Enjoyed this. Adding comment to help algorithm
Thank you
I wonder if the vampires tugged on it all day being stuck in them coffins and such 😂
Good one. The dude don’t look very intimidating, rather puny and frail to be such a B.A. I guess that’s why they say”don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. It seems to apply in his case.
You don't need to be big to sit a saddle and aim a gun
Keep killin' it!
Im trying
In the winter of 1978 - 1979 it was 50 below zero in Big Horn County.
That's chilly
The Stockman brought gun fighters from Texas to Douglas, Wyoming. They got horses and rode North. They were the ones that attact Nate Champion. The gunfighters were eventually arrested and taken to Cheyenne. They hung around for months but nothing ever happened to them. The Governor and the President of the United States were in on it.
Good one Josh.Keep em coming.Anything from Medicine Bow area of Wyoming Tie Siding areas?
I'm totally going bass fishing this Sunday
Heck yeah
Very interesting video as always Josh. Definitely learned alot from this one. I had read a little bit about Frank Canton but not alot. I did know that the character Jesse Jacklin in the movie Johnson County War was based on Frank Canton. I was wondering if Converse County Sheriff Josiah Hazen would make a good topic? Don't know much about the man myself but he was supposedly the first man killed by The Hole in The Wall gang, Kid Curry being the one who supposedly killed him, though I have read account that claimed him and George Curry (Flatnose George) were both shooting. I always wondered if he even liked the nickname Flatnose
Thanks! Yeah, Hazen definitely seems interesting
Wow, I grew up in Henry County, indiana. I have never head of him.
Badass
53:13 little earlier in the video probably about a minute. But just for future reference Uinta county Wyoming, near Utah. (You-in-ta) I believe you were pronouncing it closer to united. Anyway love the videos keep em coming, cool to hear so many stories on the people who passed through Wyoming. We were only taught about the most famous few.
Noted
say josh, we've talked before about these outlaws becoming lawmen, but have you noticed that the ones that do become cops, even though they were criminals before, they tend to not give
other criminals any slack? they may still be crooked, but they try to enforce every law they can in any way they think necessary. sometimes that gets them in trouble. but you'd think, once a crook always a crook and they'd just let them all go, once they give a bribe.
Hmmm, good question. Honestly im not too sure.
Great show my friend! I learn a lot listening in! The humor is top notch too!
Super sad that I assume is a large segment of your audience might consider you "woke" or be offended in some way because you address racism and injustice. Worried about being cancelled from the anti-cancel culture movement. Poetic
Frank Canton, a bad guy who did good...
I always wondered if this is what Gene Hackman's role is The Unforgiven is loosely based on.
Great narration ❤️the channel ty Ty
Thanks for listening
You're hilarious 😂
Chicago is still rough. When the organized authorized law system fails anything can happen. And it did happen in places, look up The Mountain Vally Massacre .
Nathan Bedford Forest really 😂 damn...
you might also have mentioned that bothwell got all of jim and ella's cattle as well, rightly raising the, Q who's calling who a rustler....... somewhere i read that bothwell died in a fit of madness, screaming for his soul in vain, you don't supposethat's true or not do you..??..... oh what the hell....................................
Question Mr Josh did you also do voices for Action figure therapy
I do not, sorry
Yeah, a neck yoke is a round or rectangular long beam with iron rings that is usually used to yoke together two oxen or horses, mules, whatever.
I also want to just be left alone, and I believe I should be able to do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody
500 movies about the James gang and Billy the squid but 0 about this cat where's the justice
He's played by Sam Waterston in the movie Heaven's Gate
McCool's is indeed a real name, a town near where I grew up had a bar named McCool's owned by (guess who) a guy named McCool. Northeast Indiana/Michigan area.
Such a mccool name
Uuuummm. You’re not being woke. Your telling facts. Got a stand up for you. Nobody deserves to be called woke unless they actually are.
Guess he needed a Tugboat Annie, ha.
Sometimes you just gotta play tug o war with cyclops
That's it
Boy this Guy was no Tom Horn didn't he admit to being involved with Frank? I thought I read that in his confession transcript if it wasn't for that I wonder if we would of ever known about it. good catch Josh Never snitch on your self
The problem these people had was, when they exscape and run, they go back to old habits, atleast the one we know.
Yep, often times
Hey bud, if i were to order you a book,where could i send it to? Id love to hear your take on the topic if you ever have time to read it. If not, i guess itll take up some shelf space on your book shelf 😂. Either or is fine lol
Made it 1:30:51 but can’t take all the commercials anymore! Adios amigos
Viya con Dios, sir
Texas not only had to be FORCED by the federal government to abolish slavery they had to do it basically at gun point they were not letting their slaves go buddy God bless
Could you maybe use more pics. just looking at the one pic of the portrait of the old man can get be boring no matter how good the story might be.
it all comrs down to time and money but I'm trying
