    This man may not have had very much in the way of formal schooling, but, he was a born businessman, If there ever was one. People like this guy, always do well, no matter the location, education, or vocation, this kind of personality succeeds in life no matter what path they chose to take.

    What i find incredible is that during the 1870s some of these plainsmen went to lincoln county during the time of billy the kid. The people in that town are said to have given them a wide berth. These plainsmen like hamilton were looked at as some of the toughest men on the planet. Fighting indians and trapping and hunting had turned them into terrifying even to the likes of jessie evans.

    Josh, I've been a subscriber for almost 2 years and not sure if I've ever commented on any of your posts. I will do better as I now understand it would help boost your channel. You asked for comments on this show as is a little different so here goes. I thought it worthy of my first comment because it brings a certain wholesomeness to day to day life where both men and women showed each other respect as long as you were polite and adhered to costumes. Job well done. Enjoyed.

    Finding your channel and seeing for the first time what type of content you provide is a great opportunity for me to learn more about these times.
    I’m sure impressed with your show and as a new subscriber will work my way through all of the content in due course.
    Thank you for a great opportunity to learn more about something that interests me a great deal.

    The plainsman reminded me of a movie of the same name I believe it was a Cecil B DeMille production and start Gary Cooper as wild Bill Hickok granted it was a glorified version of the old West as seen by Hollywood, but it was very entertaining nonetheless, and gave inspiration to the many times that my friends and I played Cowboys and Indians thanks for bringing back that memory and keep up the great work

    • @WildWestExtravaganza
      @WildWestExtravaganza  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, many of the names of rivers and creeks were called something else...or maybe he just got it wrong. For instance, he references the battle of Beecher island being on the Republican river but it was really on what's now known as the Arikara River. Back then, though, everyone called it a fork of the Republican.
