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!
Just keep commenting and thumbs up all his videos it really does matter and it's a way u can support him if you can't afford to. The algraghem looks and those things!
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
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.
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!! 🙏🇬🇧😉👍
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. 👍👍
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 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!
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 ! 🧩
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!!
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'm loving this channel so much! I just found it the day before yesterday and I have had my earbuds on for pretty much the last 48 hours. 3 HOURS! Hell yeah!! 🤠
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.
Hey Canadian fella here love your channel man hellva good job the amount of research you must be doing for these videos is staggering im sure thank you for all your incredibly hard work for my entertainment this Canadian appreciates it very much thanks again
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.
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 👍)
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.
☆☆READ THIS, im retired deputy, one joke is what is the difference between bad guy & cop. COP NEVER CAUGHT. Going threw old west law men big percentage were bad guys then put badge on & they were great law men. KEEP UP WITH YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS. 2HR15MIN I start how you make history very entertaining. [Frank taking care of quite time LOL
Reeeallyyyy need this tonight!! Thank you for all you do!! Once again, it will be your voice and video, me and, my chihaha Raja!! (Yes, I said/typed Chihaha! Lolol) I crack me up! Trixie, my pomchi will be back in here shortly I’m sure. When she finishes her rounds, making sure everyone is asleep and she has combed the floors to make sure any dropped food is taken care of! Hahaha Thanks again!! Imma lucky lady for finding this YT gem!!! Have a great night everyone!! 🫶🏼✌🏼Peace✌🏼🫶🏼
It appears you certainly do your homework. I also think you could make a rock just sitting there seem interesting if you put your mind to it. But take the wild west and you,put them together and 3 hrs will go by like nothing doing. That was damn interesting. Also gotta add that little notion of Frank being a vampire adds a bit of wtf to a secretive life as it was already. They say vamps got a lot of good meals right after a civil war dust up, with more than a few not being left for the worms.lol Keep up the excellent work Josh and I'll keep tuning in. Thanks to your team as well. Brilliant !!
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.
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
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.
Lol love your stuff. I’m a New England Yankee, amateur historian, and a lot of folks would consider me a filthy woke longhair. Thanks for making intelligent content based on facts and research! Rock on and keep shootin’ straight, amigo!
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
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. 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.
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
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.
WOW I really appreciate this 3 hours of Josh's Wild West stories.
Thanks

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!
Just keep commenting and thumbs up all his videos it really does matter and it's a way u can support him if you can't afford to. The algraghem looks and those things!
Holy crap what did we do to deserve this. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you for listening
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
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
Frank Canton, Vampire Stock Detective. sounds like a show on the CW Network.
great channel and presentation style.
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!
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.
We’re just getting spoiled now!! Lol thanks Josh!!
Nah haha
This was just awesome Josh. Thanks for covering down on this. Nate Champion seems to be a legend
Nate was tough

Thanks Alan!
Hands down one of the best story teller … I relate how ya speak being from S. Texas
Gracias
Vampires still to this day shiver with fear at just the mention of Frank Canton.
Yep, little known fact
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!!!
This is enough to carry me through a third of a work day! Merci, kind sir!
De rien
Damn Josh, wish this level of research was around when i was a kid watching PBS channel 9 in san Antonio.
Just discovered your channel. You make the old west SO INTERSTING!....

Gotcha, good info!
Good one Josh.Keep em coming.Anything from Medicine Bow area of Wyoming Tie Siding areas?
I wonder if the vampires tugged on it all day being stuck in them coffins and such 😂
Love it

Wow, I grew up in Henry County, indiana. I have never head of him.
Great narration ❤️the channel ty Ty
Thanks for listening
Badass
You're hilarious 😂
Lol love your stuff. I’m a New England Yankee, amateur historian, and a lot of folks would consider me a filthy woke longhair. Thanks for making intelligent content based on facts and research! Rock on and keep shootin’ straight, amigo!
They say I'm woke as well
Nathan Bedford Forest really 😂 damn...
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
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

Frank Canton, a bad guy who did good...
Impressive long form
Thanks

You don't need to be big to sit a saddle and aim a gun
Guess he needed a Tugboat Annie, ha.
Sometimes you just gotta play tug o war with cyclops
That's it
Anyt i thought I had some awkward family dinner s nt like brothers on the other t of war
This guy sounds just like the guy that has a channel called 23 something. Guy has prison content. I can't remember the me of it
Not me
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
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.
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.
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.
