- Wild Bill leaves Independence after killing Davis Tutt and pursues employment as a scout and U.S Deputy Marshal. As Hickok’s notoriety increases, he goes on to serve as Marshal in the rough Kansas towns of Hays and Abilene before joining Buffalo Bill Cody and Texas Jack Omohundro in New York City. This is part 2 of the Wild Bill series. In part one we covered Hickok’s childhood, his time in Bleeding Kansas, his first known gunfight with David McCanles, time spent serving the Union during the war, and the famous duel with Davis Tutt. Links below for the first and third installments of this series. #wildwest #history #cowboy

Perfect start to the working day.
Thanks Josh!
I love Wild West history and your voice is perfect 😍
I’ve always been fascinated by Hickok. Neither a fan nor a hater. The later photos of him seem to reveal a tiredness, resignation. It was like he knew even then his time was short.
He was an “instinct”, or “point” shooter. I think he was VERY accustomed to the balance of those ‘51 Navy Colts as he emptied and reloaded them EVERY morning (I’ve read) in order to insure freshly charged pistols.
Agree with several comments regarding diminishing eyesight, though I believe problems started earlier than believed; hence two pistols immediately accessible for cross or strong side draw, in a sash (allowing for constant adjustment); back to the wall/corner, and the shotgun and derringer backups. Everything geared toward close, immediate combat. Directly in front.
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION!
One of the best researched ever IMO. Learned a bunch.
Thank You 🙏
Brilliant episode mate. Love how you give the different versions of certain events. As I've said before, Hickok is my favourite historical old west figure. You are certainly giving his legend and life a well researched series. Actually one of the best I've heard or seen. Bloody excellent work. Cheers from the land down under.
Thanks Matt
Can't wait for the next part looking forward to it
Good way to start the morning.
Excellent I have been looking forward to this. Living in Deadwood we do appreciate our Hickok history
What's it like living there?
@@WildWestExtravaganza the Black hills are gorgeous Deadwood is very fun. We just had our hundred year anniversary rodeo Big & Rich played an amazing concert and now we have the rally going on.
@@westt9030 Don’t mean to eavesdrop, but I’m gonna but in a little. Please forgive.
Thinking hard about moving to Black Hills. Spent a week camping there in 1976. Still one of my favorite times.
Moving there feasible? I’m retired. Not broke, but not wealthy. I would be escaping 50+ years in California, last 23 in rural mountain town in National Forest.
Not typical Californian (I hope).
Anyway, knowing how much EVERYONE LOVES Californians, any chance of anything decent?
Thanks a Bunch
@@BoomerMcBoom a lot of people have been moving to South Dakota recently. There's plenty of space that's for sure. Property values have rose substantially in the past couple years. We like everybody that is good conversation.
@@BoomerMcBoom we have a lot of little communities throughout numerous national forests also. Spearfish is a great town not far from Deadwood. It is where most of the commerce is
EXACTLY what I needed to help me sling around drywall mud this morning 💯✊✊✊✊😎
Part one and two have been great looking forward to par three keep up the great work
Another great video. Tbh, the Harding incident is a classic example of de-escalation. I'm a trainee mental health nurse and that really resonates. "Why don't we just sit down....and talk". Classic. Grain of salt, of course.
Bill was absolutely a total badass.
Thank you for doing good old cousin Bill such a great tribute
Favorite part was extras catching powder burns from Bill. Can you imagine that show what a sight.
Awesome shows on Wild Bill
I truly appreciate how you tell us ALL accounts/versions of each "legend". ❤ Thank you
Thanks Misty
Thanks my brother. We appreciate you much.
Thanks you sir! Another excellent episode
Yes! My two favorite channels drops almost at same time . Heck yeah.
The other is Legends OTOW
Great job bud great telling and analyzing hickock and not quoting the dime novels look forward to the next one 👍✌
Hell yeah 3rd episode hells yeah cant wait for new info on his death 👍✌
Brilliant, man. I’m loving this. Please sir can I have some more. Stay well and safe and thanks for your content.
I really appreciate your latest episode on Wild Bill. Living in Hays and sharing the same profession, hearing Wild Bill's stories and then being able to drive downtown and go to the actual location where they occurred was pretty amazing. The downtown has historical markers naming bars and government buildings of that time. It also puts some amazing context when reading the jail logs of prisoners that Hancock signed in himself.. I snapped a pic of Tommy Drums Saloon for ya but unfortunately I discovered the building was constructed in 1886. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you sir. Keep up the great content!👍✌😎
Great episode.
I like your show. Entertaining, funny , and real.
Thank you
Paused at 2:04 as Full Metal Jacket came out my senior year of High school in 1986/87 and I’ve seen it all or partly about 40 times, what Gunnery sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey) says is “God was here before the Marines, so you can give your heart to Jesus but your ass belongs to the corps!”. A pivotal scene that establishes Joker’s (Matthew Modine) as a badass follows that with Hartman baiting him by asking “You do believe in the virgin Mary don’t you?”
Continue, Sir.
Edit: I never gave it much thought but even a heathen like Gunny Hartman knew and verified that Jesus is God.
You rock Josh! Thanks for the great content!
Love your channel Bro
Keep those videos coming
Definitely appreciate this channel
I appreciate that!
Excellent 10/10
I like!!
U the man Josh!
You are. You're the man.
Great episode!
Thank you
Love this series!
Laughed out loud at the end shout out. “Dookie Rooster”
Good one buddy
When you have to choose between history and legend, print the legend
Always go with the legend they never DIE!!
You did it again Josh. Hell of a good episode.
Thanks
Anyone notice Josh doesn't ask us to " Like and Subscribe"? I appreciate that more than I know how to express.
Thank you
Thank you
Love this podcast. Just found and started watching the other day and have been listening to older episodes. My first was about Jeremiah Johnson, love the movie and was glad to see something new on it..
Very good stuff Josh mississippi loves it
Thanks!
I have listened to several now. Love the way you explain history!
Thank you
Your presentation was refreshing. It even had me cracking up. I just happened on to your show, today. I love Old West history. I look forward to seeing more. 🎯🍻🐎❤
Loving these episodes man! Great work! (And congrats on the baby!)
Loving these episodes heaps roll on next week 🤠
Oh yeah, more Hickok please.
May I suggest an extended episode on John Coffee Hayes. Keep up the excellent work sir!!
You may
Joshua, you close enough 2 perfect as i care 2 get near to.❤
Love your work!
Mike Williams got it before Coe? First time hearing that. I'm really digging your research, Josh.
Enjoy these, sorry to hear about your hard dive. Certain people in history do take time to sift through the BS. Still looking forward to listening to the Cherokee Outlaw one as well
9:26 - Quite a place, and it looks like the epitome of the west of its time. And full of people following the advice of Oliver Wenbell Holmes:
“All life is action and passion; unless you play a part in the action and passion of the day in which you live you run the risk of being accused of not having lived at all.”
Top that , Albert Canus!
Good day. A1
9:43 "Drunker than Cooter Brown." I can say now I've heard TWO people use that phrase. The ither being my mother... 😅. I just know I am going to start using it now.
Being quick to pull the trigger finally caught up with him.
Mormon here. Never had any need to double up on my magic underwear😉.
Doubtful Lott Smith had to either.
You left out the part about how the Mormons got the drop on the wagon train.
Never underestimate the “Mormons”😊
Good point
As a Christian man, I have never bought into the “Joseph Smith and the magic, invisible tablets” story. However, I have always had a bit of admiration for any man like Brigham Young that was still pulling in barely-legal poonanny up into his 60’s and with his other wive’s blessings. I still like the idea of polygamy.
@@billytrevathan6405 brother I hate to break it to you but those poor girls, including Smith's wives, likely had absolutely no say in the matter.
Ever been standing at a bar with a loudmouth in Topeka. Straight to the right sucker punch . BAMM ! My analysis!
Been there .
Like ur take on mr. Hickok real in common sense
Thanks
Another great video Josh. I had always wondered if it was just glaucoma that was wrong with his eyes or the syphilis. Most of what I read blames his eye problems on glaucoma but I thought there might be more to it.
Had no fear in battle champion 4 good
A once famous gunfighter said, "If you have to shoot, don't talk. Shoot"
Like this new format good sir. Of course really enjoyed the OG as well. And looks like you’re picking up velocity on new subs. 👍🏽
There is also one photo of Hickok with a pair of 1860 Army Colts.
I didn’t realize oysters were so popular in the 1800s
Oh yeah
i dont really see it as backing down when you describe bills meeting with harden. hickok had absolutely nothing to prove and seeing a great gun move performed by harden, i believe would have drawn an exact response like the one harden desrcibed. and just because they got drunk together that night, it doesnt mean either man wanted or persued a friendship afterwards. call it professional courtesy or just a weariness of fighting too many upstarts but the story rings true to me.
oops really great stuff. one blooper so far in part one you stated wild bill n McCandless fired at the same moment. here you said Bill fired first. oops
plus the battle of Washita was a massacre and pure murder. Black Kettle had previously survived the Sand creek massacre in Colorado where he was camped with chief white antelope both of them old man peace chiefs, camping where the army told them to as they were trying to keep out of the way of the fighting, their bands were old people and widows and children, most of the young warriors had deserted them to follow chief Tall bull of the dog soldiers who were the southern Cheyenne involved with the fighting in Colorado and the southern plains. Black Kettle had asked the army where his band should camp where they would be safe and was told to camp at the Washita and fly the American flag above his tipi which he did even though chivingtons men at Sand creek killed white antelope and a bunch of women waving the American flag and a white surrender flag at the same time. Custer chased the dog soldiers all over and got his ass handed to him several times and because he was trying to be a big hero in the west because of his presidential aspirations so he wiped out a peaceful village camped where they were told to who had more women then men and very few weapons even. He did the rush attack at the little bighorn for the same reason but those Lakota and Cheyenne had weapons and warriors plenty and Custer received the justice he deserved!
While I’m talkin at ya I no it ain’t the Wild West bt I’d dig u doin sum stuff on the 1930’s/depression gangsters. Thas Jst me.
51 navy colts are actualty 375 thousanths and can be converted with just a change of cylinders to 38 colt... dont try modern loads in them, might just fly apart...
Forgot to mention; Good point about firearms restrictions, I mean after all, wasn’t the OK corral fight technically over that very thing ?
Road trip fodder!! Awesome!
Imagine how terrible killing your friend, who was trying to help you, would be for your mental state.
I imagine it'd be pretty devastating
Damn ... still not number one
Id read some where Bill left Cody's show because he actually had stage frieght and wanted to keep it secret
🤠👍
Hey cat, u Rock!! Excellent job on Wild Bill. Hell on all yo stuff!!👍👍😎 yo podcast r GREAT!! Keep doin what u doin. An remember if they folks that don’t dig yo style... the mf’s ain’t gtta lissen. 😎
The J W Hardin snoring story is true, he did shoot through the wall because the old boy was snoring, but he didn't mean to hit him, and he did promptly leave town without ant goodbyes.
He certainly killed the man but the snoring story didn't show up until later. Also the dead man was found sitting up in bed with a newspaper on his lap, although I suppose he could have fallen asleep while reading.
And from the last days in Deadwood he had atleast 1 Smith n Wesson No 2 . On him...allegedly
You’re right, he’s an odd looking guy but I don’t think I’d say so where he could hear.
Could you please re upload the episodes on John Wesley hardin and killer Miller
those were my Favorite
It's pronounced wah sha tah river near Cheyenne Oklahoma
Believe me I made the same mistake when I moved out here. I'm like what in the hell is this Japanese River doing in the middle of Indian country lol
You think you'll ever cover? John Wesley Harden.
Of course
@@WildWestExtravaganza looking forward to it. Watched a couple different videos. They where completely different than each other. For the most part.
John Wesley Hardin never gets a fair representation in Hickok documentaries.
what caliber did wb use, i know it was buried with him.
I talk about the calibers on the 3rd episode in the series, I think
@@WildWestExtravaganza thanks and in the 3rd part you said it was a 50 caliber rifle, thank you.
I wonder if there were known tribes like the one in Bone Tomahawk, true savages living underground and eating people, the road was a dangerous place
Not that I'm aware of. For the most part the stories of certain Native tribes practicing cannibalism was either flat out made up or highly exaggerated
@@WildWestExtravaganzaThe Tankawas or “Tonks” as the Texians called them, were witnessed by white Texians practicing cannibalism on freshly killed enemy Comanches. Said Comanches had raided all the way to the South Texas coast near Matagorda bay and subsequently got themselves caught by a posse on the way back North. A bunch were killed with the help of the Tonkawas and they apparently believed that eating their more powerful enemy gave them strength.
And the attack on Black Kettle was not a battle. It was a massacre. Even though Black Kettle flew the American flag over his lodge, he was attacked. Most of the dead were women and children
