Now they got these new fancy schmancy carriages without horses, you wind them up like a clock! Strangest thing you ever saw without the aid of liquor
I always have the aid of liquor!
The town were I live does use carriage for manly tours around town and we have variation of wagons, carriages, and stagecoach as well.
So cool!
This does seem to suggest a follow-up video: “Automobiles in the Old West.” Probably a very very short period, but it’d be interesting to see Santee riding shotgun with Dirty Dan in a 1900s REO.
High speed pursuit!
truewestmagazine.com/carl-hayden/
I remember something on the show Wild West Tech that had a bit on a early drive by shooting using a car.
Hmmmm...!
Wasn't there a television Western where the heroes rode in a Stutz Bearcat. I seem to remember one of them wore a hat with a Montana pinch.?
@@RoryPattonDreamerOfDunsidhe Yes, showed in UK can't rememeber what it was called though.
I live in NC, it turns out not to far from that old piedmont buggy building. I think I’m going to do a lil road trip there. Thanks for opening my eyes to what’s been right in front of them Santee. Great video.
Have fun! Thank you.
Last time I was time I was this early, automobiles didn’t exist
??
Never knew that there was so many kinds of carriages. Imagine pulling up to Walmart in one!🤠🌵♥️
LOL!
in Amish Country there’s a couple of Walmarts that feature just that to the point of there being designated buggy parking!
I know for a fact that the buggy in the thumbnail is how you get to blackwater early.
In all seriousness though i remember my grandmother telling me that once upon a time it took days or even weeks to get from one big city to another. Now you can go halfway across the country within hours. Before she died she told me, probably because i loved back to the future, "When i was a child electricity and cars were nothing but a dream thats why you should always believe that you can do something even if it takes a long time its still victory.
Thanks for sharing that!
I love those old buggies. If I had one, I'd probably still use it. So cool. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Hi Santee! Although its been years since I have taken a trip out to the Pennsylvania Dutch country, one of the highlights of my past visits there was seeing the traditional Amish families driving along the roads in their horse drawn buggies. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for sharing!
You can see them right now in Western Ontario, North of Kitchener in the farming communities. There is a large hardware store in St. Jacobs that has a stable for shoppers' horses. The roads have wide gravel shoulders for them. The people are mostly Mennonites with some Amish.
As always Santee my timing is impeccable. sorry I couldn't get those buggy pictures to you any sooner I was happy to even find them.
Again another superb episode
Hey 🙋 Rusty
No worries. Much appreciated.
I've been looking for one like John Wayne had in "The Shootist", Loved that buggy! I'm also looking for a nice buckboard like the one Chuck Connors used in "The Rifleman" You've turned me into a Western Fan Santee, thanks for the fantastic edutainment!
I feel like I've turned you into a western collector. Sorry about that retirement fund, Richard!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Lol, everybody needs a hobby and there are worse things I could spend my money on!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview With intrest rates as they are , the Buggies are probably a better investment. Added to that you get the fun out of them!
@@51WCDodge I just enjoy working on stuff or making and building things, I never really think of it as an investment.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I have two 1944 3/4 ton Dodges in my care, a WC51 and WC54. I'm like you . I don't own them, they are in my care at the moment. They 'Belong' to the people who built them and those who used them in defence of freedom.
Nice shout out to Engel's Coach Shop. I love watching his videos. It's amazing to see just how complicated a simple wagon is.
Yes they are!
This year while I was laid off I took a road trip that saw me in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The carriage museum there is awesome.
I'd like to go!
Near the end a movie clip looked like it was Richard Boone as Hec Ramsey. That was a fairly good series from the '70's. It was like a dyeing art form. Hard to find anymore.
The role he was playing was Sweeney and the movie is the Shootist.
Thanks for the history lesson about Old West Carriages , Santee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You bet!
That one really rolled along. 😺
I got bumpy a time or two
I've always understood that the term "roadster" meant a lightweight, speedy horse. As far as cars are concerned, a roadster is a small open, two seater without glass windows in the doors.
Yes.
Thanks, looking forward to next weeks. Every Saturday morning you start my day with a smile.
Glad to hear it! Much appreciated.
Santee, Dave Engles Wheelwright Has Some Great Restoration Videos as to How it's Done Correctly.
He does.
Another fantastic video Santee! Thanks for showing the Piedmont factory from my great and sovereign State of North Carolina.
My pleasure!
Santee we love your channel, and binge watch all we can..!! Thanks Greg & Cheryl...peck
Awesome! Thank you!
Grinnell, Iowa had a carriage manufacturing company. Spaulding Manufacturing Company.
The company went out of business in 1929. Now the building houses loft apartments. My mom used to live there.
They also made a couple automobiles as well. They just couldn't keep up with Ford.
So cool!
We used to live in Creighton, Nebraska where an Amish settlement was just outside of town. They used to drive their black carriages up and down our street every other day. I always enjoyed seeing that, but they wouldn't allow you to take any pictures of them.
Interesting to note: the Santee Sioux Indian Reservation is in northern Knox County along the Missouri River. That's where my dad is buried. On the rez.
Ronald, thank you for sharing. Santee Sioux is probably the origin of my moniker. I say it's the Glenn Ford western...but it certainly stems from this tribe
Very informative and enjoyable. It is good to hear from you every Saturday .Keeping the spirit of the Wes alive .Thanks so much Sir Santee.
Much appreciated.
I wondered if I would see a clip from Engle's Coach Shop in this. Thanks for not disappointing.
Guy is amazing.
Informative, as always well done. Have a great weekend. Thanks 🤙🏼🇺🇸👍🏼❤️🤠
Thanks 👍
I've never ridden in one but I'd like to. Great info looking forward to the wagon video.
You and me both!
I have always enjoyed the way you and your posse can combine facts with fun. Keep up the good work and I will see you on down the trail 🤠 Kid Tumbleweed
Awesome! Thank you, Kid!
Thanks for the episode on carriages, i wouldn't mind having one or two around, but then i'd need horses!
Yes!
Hi Santee. Super video. I do feel sorry for that Skelton though 😂. Tfs and be safe out my dear friend. Diane
He put himself back together. All good.
Awesome video, amigo! Hopping in my buggy and bugging out right now, but wasn't leaving without watching my Saturday morning Arizona Ghostriders video first!
Have fun! 🤠
Another great video Santee!! I can still remember going to see the old town blacksmith in my hometown in southern West Virginia. This in the late 60's to early 70's. Glad to see there are still some keeping the old craft alive.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good morning Santee I enjoyed the episode.
Peace and blessings
Thank you!
Good topic for a Saturday morning. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
there is an event that happens on my state called old Thrashers. Its basically sort of like keeping the west alive. They have an old town, they also take you around in carriages driven by horses. They also have old car shows and gun shows and even an old trian that takes you around. It's very cool.
I'll check that out! Thanks for the info.
Hey Santee
Man, thanks for been so cool with the fans.
Thanks, for been the best youtuber in the world.
Thanks for teaching us, the true history of the Old West.
And...for last but not least, thanks to all the Arizona Ghostriders for keep the spirit of the Old West alive.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤love from Brazil.
Eu gosto de você, Samuel!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Obrigado Santee, eu gosto de você também. (Thanks Santee, I like you too)
@@ArizonaGhostriders Do you speak portuguese??
Thanks for speaking in portuguese with me, I felt really honored. Thanks.
Thanks for another GREAT vid, Santee!👍 Hope everyone is doing well. Take care, my friend!🤠🍻👊
Thanks, you too! 🤠🤠🤠
In Kentucky where I'm from, Dad used to talk about using sleds drawn by mules
Yes, those are another episode I think!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Don't forget the Jennets.
Historical event and thank you for sharing the views my friend. God bless.
Thanks for coming
I love what I learn from you every weekend. Fun times for sure. Thanks Santee.
Glad to hear it
I used to live beside an old man, whose son made all these wagons. He had a 3 story barn where he made them. The top two floors had had them stored. The bottom he had the machinery. They were used in parades etc. Those wagons are bigger than you think. Seeing them on tv don't really give a good size comparison.
Some 18th century British Wagons were very big. I think they would be on a par with the prairie schooner.
So cool!
Such a Great Show
Thank You!
In Lancaster County PA one can see a buggy hot rod with fiberglass wheels and carbon fiber coach work. They are unicorns but there. Those crazy Amish kids!
LOL!
Wherever you find the Amish you're going to see carriages. I hope we'll always have these wonderful people among us. They are really very had working, and good people.
They make a heckuva cookie, too.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I grew up near an Amish settlement, and all thier food is delicious.
'Roadster' is still used today as an alternate name for a convertible. The term 'spyder' has the same origin, the ribs of the roof in such carriages resembling a spider's legs when the roofing material was not yet installed.
Good info. Thanks!
Well done as always, and kudos for giving Studebaker its due. I'm sharing this video with some of my friends in the Studebaker community.
Much appreciated!
As usual, informative and entertaining. I didn't know a lot of this, especially the leather strap shock absorbers.
Glad it was helpful!
There are more to buggies, wagons, and coaches than I realize. Our forefathers were much more industrious than folks realize. Sad that those skills are largely lost.
As usual Santee, excellent info and presentation. A bright spot in the day since I am wrestling with the hardheadedness of a truly stuck butt screw off of my Pietta SAA Frontier.
Thanks. Hope you get that out!
I only live a couple of hours from Pennsylvania Dutch country where there are many carriages. They are a great people. In filthadelphia their are coaches, but they have a terrible reputation for how they take care of their horses. Locals don't ride them. Thanks for another great video!
Interesting information
Thankfully , you made another one of these for my Saturday . Thanks again Santee !
My pleasure!
Awesome, you give out good information history on wagons, thank you!!
Our pleasure!
Very nice upload about carriages. The design was pretty much the same in most other counties as well :D
Yes, true
I drive tourist around on a horse drawn carriage in San Antonio for a living. Fun fact, that front panel is called a dash board. Keeps you dry when the horse has to...um...go.
In European towns where horse and carraige operate, you have to have a large canvas sheet strung behind the horse'. In London Youngs Brewery of Walworth still use horse drawn drays. Hell of shock to stop at a junction , look in the rear view mirror and find two bloody great horses peering in the back window.
We have a "bag" behind our horses too. 🙂
So cool, Damon! Keep up the great work.
I like your videos because you pack a lot of info into 3 1/2 minutes !
Interesting about the still existing coach shops and even their history is now worth a look, eg Engalls bought a bunch of old coach shop tools from a place in California that built and repaired old Borax wagons.
Thanks. That is good info!
The size of the wheels on those Borax Wagons, bloody enormous!
My Amish neighbors use one on Sunday...but most of the week they drive a tractor. Both being outfitted with Triangular slow signs and flashing red lights.
Yeah? Interesting.
Exactly what I was looking for! Great video that fits a lot of information into only 3, minutes
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting video Santee thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another informative video thanks santee
Any time!
Arizona Ghostriders thanks
Great content, Santee. Maybe sometime you do one episode about Old West Law enforcement wagons
"Tumbleweed Wagon"
Sure
NOW THAT WAS A BUMPY VIDEO
At least I steered you in the right direction.
Santee, were coin purses, used doing the old west, and we're saddle bags used like a man bag
Coin purses were used. Saddlebags stayed on the horse, unless you needed to bring it to your hotel room.
Great video, I love driving almost as much as riding. BTW I knew a guy slightly who got a DUI for operating a buggy under the influence near Middleburg VA over 30+ years ago.
Oh wow!
Thanks Santee great video. Love the fozzy the bear clip!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
A hug from Brazil, I really like your videos 💚💛
Thank you so much! 🤠
Awesome - thanks!
You're welcome!
Still having fun I see 😂. Great video.
You know it. Teaching history and entertaining. Good mix
I am happy and surprised to hear that someone out there is working to keep these things alive. Thank you, Santee. Stay well!
Same to you!
Nice one!✌️
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome as always!!!!
Thanks again! Hope y'all are doing ok!
Alway good to see an episode pop up 😊
Thank you!
Another great video Santee, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video guys! Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for this Santee
My pleasure!
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for making the video
You're welcome!
I’d love more videos about wagons/carriages
I'll see what I can do.
One of my ancestors was a wagon maker after got out of the union in 1865
Great episode Santee
Thank you!
My grandfather had one of those Studebaker shark noses. Sat there and rotted away in his yard. DOOH.... Wasn't aware they made wagons....... Can't believe there's one "thumbs down" .
There's always a thumbs-down. Carriage haters, the lot of them.
Studebaker started out in 1852 and it's first big contract was to make ammo wagons for the Union Army for the Civil War. After the war many of those sturdy little wagons were repurposed as chuck wagons. Kent Rollins, the cowboy cook, has a Studebaker chuck wagon.
@@JeffDeWitt I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Kents 1870's Studebaker!
@@stevethecountrycook1227 I've been a Studebaker fan since the 70's, first time I saw his chuck wagon I wondered it it could be a Studebaker, and was delighted to find out it was.
You ought to get together and get Bacjack a mustashe mask. So he would finally have a mustashe. 😋
Yes!
The vehicle shown in the Sherlock Holmes clip is known as a Dog Cart. The other two wheel car Note the CAR), is an Irish design known as a Juanty Car
Thanks.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Just an asdie , I asked a lovley Red Haired Irish Collen of my aquiantance 'Why is it called a car not a carriage?' She looked at me through her beautiful eyes and replied'It only has half the wheels'
As you said in an earlier episode, towns had wide streets to allow wagons and buggies to more easily turn around. No “k” turns needed. How is a buckboard different? Is it the western equivalent of today’s SUV?
More like a pickup
really enjoy your channel ...funny , interesting stuff
Thank you kindly
@@ArizonaGhostriders you are very welcome...
You might have not had 1/4 mile drg. Race, but you sure could do Driffting...!😆😆😆👍👍👍✔
yup
Dr Machin has some help with prescriptions at 203 there be the AGR logo awfully close to horse tails, very nice, well done, wish longer great learning videos. Thanx
Cool, thanks
I guess that video wasn't too difficult to stage 😄👍
LOL!
Imagine riding a stage coach in a rocky road and suddenly you hear rex chasing you from behind 🤔
Yeah!!! Like Jurassic Park....but slower.
The tradition in Russia apparently was to throw a peaseant off the coach to the Wolves if they chased you.
Hi Santee, damm some off these coaches were pretty darn fancy mate., leather suspension had to be way nicer then steel springs, and padded seats, hook me up horse and cart happy days, didnt know the local blacksmith was also the mechanic thats brilliant, really cool one this :)
Thanks 👍 It was probably the same in your neck o' the woods.
sometimes the blacksmith was also owned the livery stable, repaired buggys and wagons,
and also a leathersmith who made saddles, bridles, and made parts for harnesses.
a real jack of all trades
Have a great day 🤠
Thanks for the visit
Gtoofast
Awesome video on old west carriages. I would like to point out the carriages that were used in the Quiet Man that Maureen O'Hara drove. Also the courting carriage. Pretty cool carriages.
Thanks for the info!
The cart that you see Holmes and Watson riding in was called a Dog Cart(never seen a DOG pulling one, though)
@@mikegrossberg8624 The Dog Cart is genrelly a two wheel vehicle used on estates for the same sort of jobs a quad bike will be used today. Light carriage and often, supposedly it carried the Terrier men and their Terriers when fox hunting. To dig out the Fox if it went to Earth, In Ireland such vehicles are called Cars. When I asked an Irish girlfriend of mine 'Why are they called Cars, not Carragies, she fixed me with a pitiying look and replied 'They only have half the wheels'.
Who are the trolls that always give thumbs down?
I enjoy you clips, very nice.
Mostly jealous folks or people who just enjoy being that way. The joke is one them, though, because it counts as a view and helps the channel!
Kent Rollins (cowboy cook) has a Studebaker chuck wagon.🇺🇸👍
I believe he does.
I would love to live in the country and use a buggy today.
It would be cool
I believe I requested this video thank you
You're welcome!
Don't know about the res, but you can buy DVDs of the series on Amazon.
Unless it's BluRay then it's not the highest res. Thanks for the info, though!
thanks Cheese !!!!
You bet!
Love these videos. Nice and short, but full of info.
Would you mind doing a video on the Colt Pocket revolvers (1849 and 1862 especially) and how they were used in the old west? I've heard a lot of unusual things about them, such as them being common military sidearms and being favored by some lawmen, but there seems to be surprisingly little concrete info out there on them compared to their larger brothers.
I will. In fact...I'm thinking of getting one.
@@ArizonaGhostriders That makes two of us! I just need to decide if I want a BP 1862 Pocket Police (which has the nicest lines of any of the Colt revolvers, in my opinion) or the Cimarron '62 pocket .380 ACP conversion. I don't have any BP, bullets, nor caps right now, but I do have a mountain of .380 and nothing pleasant to shoot it through (just boring practical mouseguns). But I need to get into BP eventually, it looks like a ton of fun and I already have a Colt 1861 Navy reproduction as a fancy desk decoration.
Cool its my version of Saturday mornings cartoons
Much appreciated.
@@ArizonaGhostriders no problem great video as always
Do you know if high priority wagons/carriages like Wells Fargo or Bank owned ones were more"armored"? Metal wheels, thicker walls ...etc?
Always glad to see your videos. right to the point and informative.
Im excited I hit 1000 subs :)
Congrats on the 1K, NW! Awesome news. Keep it up, pard. I know the famous Deadwood-Cheyenne stage was "fitted" to carry gold and was usually covered with heavily armed men.
Hey Santee, was wondering if you could do a video about Ben Hall, John Gilbert, and John Dunn. Ben Hall was pretty unique as far as outlaws go. Seeing how he never took a life during his criminal career.
I'll look into them. Thanks!
Santee, how bout a video on Dressing the Part: The Pinkerton Detective
I did one.
