It’s good to keep the past in perspective because the way this world is going we might find ourselves having to rely more on the old ways of life. Thank you Santee for keeping the old west alive.
Much appreciated.
Very true!!
0gre in the Court.. a captivating story of a gentle giant bringing Truth and Justice to the ol West.
🤠
The little skits always put me in a good mood whenever i watch
Great!
Good morning Santee…
Always on the mark with every history lesson… thanks for all your research & efforts… Job well done
Thanks again!
My deepest condolences to his family and his friends 💔 💐 💐
Thank You!
Thanks for the research, always enjoy your videos! RIP Cactus 🙏🌵
Thank You!
Hello Santee and thank you for all the work you do, it shows in your videos which I have a lot of pleasure watching 🤠👍
Thank you kindly
Thank'YOU Santee!💋
You're welcome
Thanks, Santee, for all the hard work that you put into your research and your videos. I absolutely love your research library. Prayers and condolences for your loss.
Much appreciated, Eric!
Santee, Thank you very much for all the Old West research you do. That is the reason Arizona Ghostriders is the Best Old West content out there Period. You and Mrs. Pew Pew have a beautiful and blessed weekend. Now throw Rex a bone and tell him to be a good boy.
Much appreciated.
Hi Santee, I always look forward to your Saturday videos! Always learn a thing or two from you! I love Western history and everything about that time. Thank you Sir for all your hard work and time. You are very much appreciated!🤠🇺🇲
Awesome! Thank you!
❤️🙏 Loves and Prayers to all who suffer from the loss of Cactus Jack❣️💔
Thank You!
Thanks for all you do. The quality of your research shows in your episodes. I really appreciate that!
I appreciate that!
Once I read a quote. It was a commanding officer, maybe a General advising a younger man, perhaps a Lieutenant or Captain on what to do when he met his new command in the west. It went something like this; "When you meet your command you must impress your men with the fact that you are someone they want to lead them." The reason I remember it at all is because it flew in the face of what I imagined leadership to be in an era so soaked in autocracy. Having found at the time thirty years ago that the Marine Corps, where I'd spent four years favored a more democratic management style than the Parks and Recreation department I found myself working for, this struck a cord with me.
Thanks so much for your service.
As always, another great video. Thanks for all the time spent running down all those rabbit holes.
You bet!
I remember having to write a paper in 7th grade on Transportation in the Old West. My research was watching a bunch of old westerns, going into deep enough detail as to include the spting s in the seats of buck boards being made similar to barrel hoops. I got an A on that paper too...
Cool!
Another awesome episode!! I never was too interested in history until my tio started doing genealogy in the 1980’s. Then one becomes interested in it naturally. Great channel!!
Glad to hear it.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Martha Summerhayes' "Vanished Arizona" is a fantastic look at some of the more remote parts of the Southwest in the waning days of the frontier, for those interested.
Yep. One I've mentioned a few times on this channel.
Excellent video Santee! Researching often leads me down a really deep rabbit hole! I know who that artist is, I chat with him fairly frequently!
Very cool! He's a talented feller.
I hate to admit it and this is embarrassing, searching the LOC is daunting and I rarely find the info I'm searching for. So excellent work!
**Gives edited comment trophy**
I get it. The trick is to be really specific.
@@RainyWolf7 *bows* thank you! Thank you!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Santee for all ya do. I and I'm sure we all, appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to put long and hard researched material into 15 minute videos. Takes true work and dedication. Again, thank you Santee!
Very welcome
So sorry for the loss of your friend Cactus Jack.
I enjoy researching Wild West info. So many interesting things to learn about and look at in the old catalogs. Yet it is the actual history of the era that I love the most and the people that lived in those times. It never ceases to amaze me about how far people traveled back then before the railroads. Not just one way trips either.
If you haven't got one, get the Strawbridge & Clothiers catalog reprint. It's excellent.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks Santee.
You folks are the BEST !!!!!
Why thanks!
Excellent episode Santee! Research is a great thing. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
Thanks, Tim!
Thank you for being so thorough in verifying your sources. I wish more folks did the same. Enjoyable video as always! Now I am off to search in the library of congress.
You're welcome!
Thanks for all the hard work Santee!
You're welcome.
I never get tired of the old west. I'm reading a book about Brushy Bill now.
Interesting.
BTW, i appreciate your efforts here. i have been a reenactor in past and find it a valid pass time, making boots, saddles etc.
as a forth gen californian i was amazed to find out we were Mexico until 1849. so much for history class.
it is relaxing to explore Californias' past, though information is scarce prior to the general Fremont exploits..THANK YOU, k
That is awesome!
I'm so glad you mentioned catalogues! My friend Tom Franklin (he once had a guest appearance in an episode of Deadwood) taught me that you can buy facsimiles of the Sears & Roebuck catalogues; Franklin used the 1896 edition to write his novel Hell at the Breech, and he wound up with so much useful information that he used it again to write Smonk, his follow-up novel that he calls "a Southern," the Alabama equivalent of a Western!
Yep, thankfully someone hi-resolution scanned some of these antique catalogs and now we have those to peruse. I also have Strawbridge & Clothiers. Excellent resources.
What a great episode to watch with a fresh pot of Arbuckles!
Woohoo! Thanks.
THANKS SANTEE ANOTHER GOOD ONE ,, WELL ANOTHER WEEKEND IS ON !! SO I'M SURE YOU'LL BE BUSSIER THEN A 1 ARMED PAPER HANGER .. HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE .. ADIOUS SANTEE
Thanks!
Great video, santee. Thanks for showing all the work that goes into this
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm honored Santee! I do believe that you keep the local coffee shop in business. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
I have bought some of the books that you have recommended and I love reading them.
For some reason I never thought of the library of Congress for doing research for the wild west but thank you for the idea.
Another great video thank you so much you are so appreciated. 🤠
Thank You!
Glad to hear you're committed to accuracy. You could make up any fantastic nonsense you liked, and most people wouldn't know any different. Thanks for what you do!.
You're welcome.
You do an awesome job, Santee!
RIP Cactus. You ride a different trail now.
Thanks.
Even after watching this, I still don’t know how you find the time. You definitely have a talent!
Thanks Dustin!
I’ve researched the Federal Naval Forces on the lower Mississippi below Vicksburg especially the USS Essex. Found a sailors personal journal that filled in many gaps in the historical record and refuted local stories about that time frame of 1861-1864 activities
Fascinating!
Thank you !!!
You're welcome!
Quite a collection of 📚 books. I'm sure they're real handy to have there at the house. 2 things: the hat looks great & that artist is very good.
Thank You!
Thank you for all the Time and effort you put in to make this an entertaining and educational channel!!
Glad you enjoy it!
i've been watching you for about 6 years now! ever since Red Dead Redemption 2 came out and ever since i was 10.
im 16 now and youve given me such a passion for the knowledge and details of the old west that i can nerd out to my boyfriend about it!
your videos are always a comfort place and its crazy how your editing is so great that a lot of channels cant even compare!
keep up the videos and i wish the best for the wonderful spirit of our beloved friend of
"Cactus Jack" Reardon.
i hope all the Ghostriders a wonderful rest of your week and i cant wait to see your newest video on saturday!
Very kind of you to say. Thanks so much!!
Your video gave me an idea for one of my upcoming research classes!!! Thank you!
Cool!
Great job on the show
Thanks.
Santee, I have grown to love your channel and all of your episodes which I know have taken tons of research. I've been a fan for years and I feel like family. Crazy huh? Thanks so much for all that you do for us. It is hugely appreciated by me.
You are family, Ralph!
Thank you for all the hard work you do for us Santee. And who knew that finding a video on Red Dead 2 was what lead me to all this great history.
That's terrific to hear!
R.I.P. Cactus Jack.. you will be missed.
He will.
I'm very sorry for your loss amigo, keep up the great work amigo!
Thank You!
Thanks for all you do. You teach and amuse. 😉
Much appreciated.
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there
Thank you! Will do!
I'm writing fiction of the Old West but want it to heavily grounded in facts. These videos have been very useful for my research and also learning more about the Old West, which my understanding of it was limited to Hollywood films that relied on a romanticize version rather than the real deal.
SO glad!
Sorry to hear about Cactus Jack. God’s blessings to his family, friends and all of The Arizona Ghostriders.
Very kind of you!
Another video you make my day
Glad to hear it.
It is interesting how much has survived from the Period. A lot of people seemed to realize that they were living in a special time and kept diaries. This was from at least 1607 to about 1920. Then again 1942- 1945
They are frequently fascinating.
@@ArizonaGhostriders That they are even ones that just cover day to day life on the Frontier. I hate it when an Editor "corrects" spelling and such as it hides the accents. It took a long time for Dictionary/Printer Spelling to really take over
@@kirkmorrison6131 🤠
I really do appreciate and admire your research and the videos you do! It is what made me dive deep into the old west. I always look forward to Saturday when I know there'll be a darn good well researched video that I can enjoy and be well informed! Also sorry to hear about Cactus Jack, he was a joy to see in your videos. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you very much.
Years ago I did a lot of research on the mountain man era, the civil war, the cowboy era and WW2. At different times of course and mostly in my much younger years. I also researched some when I worked as a substitute teacher. I am impressed with the wealth of information you have come up with through the years. I hope you are keeping a good record of all you’ve found. Hopefully there will be younger folks that’ll take an interest in discovering how we became the country we are. Keep up the good work. I know how tough it can be to find information on things.
Thanks and glad you did all that!!
Good morning Santee: Almost missed this one. So much going on. Have a great day. :)
You too, Jim.
While unfortunately they are closed for renovations until early next year the Arizona State Museum in Tucson has an extensive collection of resources. While in Grad School one of my jobs was to research topics for Arizona and the West magazine. I spent numerous hours in their newspaper collection. They have microfiche and digital copies of a large number of newspapers from the Southwest dating back to the mid 1800's. Curiously some are printed in both English and Spanish but my research showed that these were not merely translations but entirely different items. They are well worth a visit and will reward you with many stories. The University of Arizona Library also has an enormous collection of resources in the form of books, diaries, and maps.
Yes, and I have used some of their resources for research
Sorry to hear about "Cactus Jack". A great guy.
Yes!
Rest well Cactus Jack, Santee will keep your legacy going.
Thank You!
Thank you and your patient wife for all your efforts to continually sift through stuff to give us the nuggets of info. The searvhing does have its dark side. A retired wealthy doctor living in Patagonia Az eas also a fanatic collector old western documents, photos, writings, and books. Unfortunately, he was also a mean spirited drunk (pun intended). He'd only allow others to use his vast collection for researching if they could keep up with his drinking. The sessions never ended well I was told and whatever was discovered by the researcher was lost the next morning.
Wow!
Thank you for making this video on my birthday today
Happy birthday!
Ya doo a great job fer a rapscallion. Love the fact you encourage primary resources and read read read both on the internet and actual books. As always be open to new information that might be discovered. The idea is to be as correct as possible by genuinely doing the research. Sometimes there is only one source. Sometimes there are multiple sources. If these sources conflict with each other you do a good job at presenting both. I find sometimes Wikipedia is a good start, but it is not always right or has complete information. Glad you encouraged folks to be sure to check the actual references they use. Keep up the great work thar, Pard!
Why thank you, fellow rapscallion!
I’m sorry to hear your friend pasted away. His family and friends are in my prayers at this difficult time.
Thank you for this video, I noticed you have several books I have and I’ll check out some of the references places you mentioned. I hope to increase my knowledge and understanding.
The artist artwork is amazing
Thank You!
another awesome job thank you for your hard work on these videos you awesome
Glad you like them!
Glad to see Santee's raking in some of that Tic Tac money. ;-)
HA!
Rest in peace, Cactus Jack.
Thanks.
I greatly appreciate your research and detail of your productions. I have several things I'd like to donate to your efforts including excepts from a patient ledger of a physician from 1881-1888, that includes what type of things were occurring and being treated as well as his charges that in some cases were bartered for crops, feed, meats, fruits, vegetables and pasturing. Another is a book of personal recollections, collected between 1930's and 50's, often printed as a few paragraphs of nostalgia in a local newspaper, by a woman, that she got from people who'd lived roughly from 1840's to around 1900 and related details of things to their times, such as organizing schools, townships, churches, cemetaries as well as auctions, land grants, etc. This is not as boring as it may sound, as participants often colorful in their recollections. You like to take a multidemensional approach to your era of interest and this may be of interest. Is their a mailing site (P.O.Box, etc.) I could send this to you. You've provided us with so much interesting in site I would be glad to send this to you.
Very thoughful of you. If you go to the channel main page here on UA-cam, look for the links, and the email address is accessible in there.
Sorry for your loss
Thank You!
Another great video, sorry for your loss
Thanks!
Just a thought. This channel does an excellent research effort and even better visuals to grab attention. Wandering around Southern AZ I have come across amazing snippets from our past. Early Patagonia couldn't afford a jail so offenders were chained up to an old tree stump and fed by the owner of the Chinese eatery contracted to do so. For those locals seeing the sites there are a wagon loads of yarns waiting to be told yo your friends.
Thank You!
Your the man bud !
Nice of you to say.
Rest in Peace "Cactus Jack" Rendon
✝
Sorry to hear of Jack's passing.
Thanks.
🙏❤️RIP❤️🙏
Thanks.
Great episode you Rapscallion. 🤠
Thanks for the book suggestions, I'm going to look them up and see if they're available for download.
Have a great weekend.
JT
Thanks.
Ah, the Delectable Burg! Interesting history of Dodge City. 😄
That's the book YOU gave me, Greg!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😁
Great video Santee
Thank You!
Santee it was cool to see you in a Western I just watched.
So much fun! Thanks for watching it.
Good stuff, researching history gets fascinating and can lead you down paths you never expected. Not an old west thing but I got curious about why Martin Luther King Jr. had the same first two names as the 16th century reformer Martin Luther. That led me on a fascinating trail that, among other places, passed through the World Baptist Conference in 1934 Berlin.
And good point about Wikipedia, which some people forget. Wiki is an encyclopedia, but is not a primary source. However, it's a very good tool for giving an overview of a subject and linking to some real primary sources.
Thanks again for all you do, and I look forward to getting to old Tucson in June!
Thanks for sharing and see you then!
I do enjoy your videos as I have long had an interest in history and like so many here grew up watching westerns. I also only use Wikipedia to find sources of information as it is not noted as trustworthy as far as accuracy is concerned.
Speaking of westerns and Wikipedia I once did contact them because the bio for Dale Robertson said he fought at the Battle of El Alamein. Now Dale did serve in the US Army but in Europe, where he won the Bronze and Silver Stars, but not in North Africa. They did remove that reference to El Alamein. America did contribute to El Alamein in the form of some nice big new M-4 Sherman tanks which came in quite handy.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again Santee & Co. I have a book to add to your library.
Woohoo!!!
Never know what to say Hewill be missed
Thank You!
ive added that i/we have some connections to the old west an stories. family friend, Richard Erdoes, got leads from mom to Lakota Oral stories from the old women she recorded for college text books we have. of books i see you have one of his. Saloons of the old west.
Cool!
Heeeeeyyy Santee.
Research, Yeah!! I agree learning about the subject we so much enjoy. Reading is my personal favorite mode.
I noticed you were wearing your cool badge in this video.
Have you decided to create more, and sell them??
Thanks. Getting them made in a large quantity would mean I'd have to invest in a large number (to keep costs down) and send them out.
That just can't happen with my job and UA-cam.
RIP Cactus Jack, we’ll see ya on down the trail.
Nice of you!
I've been set straight about Wikipedia. For years, I thought it was like Encyclopedia Britannica and I could trust it as a source of any information. Come to think of it, when I was in grade school around 60 years ago, my teachers insisted we don't fully rely on the Encyclopedia, but get to the library for further reading.
Some stuff is spot on, other stuff is not. That's why you have to poke around and look for the source of the info.
Police found a large number of dead crows on the A251 just outside Ashford yesterday morning, and there was concern that they may have died from Bird Flu...
A pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and it's been confirmed the problem was not Bird Flu.
The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis, it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.
By analysing this paint residue, it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorries, while only 2% were killed by cars.
Ornithological Behaviorists wondered if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of lorry kills versus car kills. They quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.
They discovered that while all the look-out crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry".
HAHA!
Still need a video on the Western false front architecture.
When it went from a tent, to the wooden false front. To eventual building
The best example I’ve ever seen was in the western movie of “tremors”
I would just like a video of why, how, and the growth of such buildings or town
God bless 🦅🇺🇸
One o' these days!
Hahaha! this is just pure comedy and interesting history behind the old west, I’ve been to a city thats like the old west before. Keep it up!
Thanks!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders No problem!
AG 🌵🐴 Greatest Show on Earth
Thank You!
Santee, re-searching means doing it again. I don't think you ever stopped searching the Old West.
Great point!
Good video, santee
**Gives good sport award**
Thanks!
@@RainyWolf7 hey thanks
Dropping a like for you santos awesome work 👍
Thanks for the visit
Hey Santee, Love your videos and all the history. Could you explain shirts with yokes?
I think I did in my modern cowboy vs. old west cowboy video
Nice video, as usual. Lots of good info in it.
One thing I wonder is if Doc Holliday really _did_ rob the Benson stage or if that was just Big Nose Kate trying to frame him up because she was mad at him for something. But I've never found anything definitive.
You won't find much on that.
Got two bookcases loaded for bear. Hope I can take it with me. Be well Santee
Thank You!
Is that a judge’s hammer or an execution device?!!! Yikes that mallet looks dangerous!!! BTW, I still think you and your channel are truly an American treasure. Keep it up!!!
It's a big gavel for a noisy courtroom!! LOL!
@@ArizonaGhostriders lol!
