- This is part 3 and the final installment of this series on Wild Bill Hickok. If you have not already listened to the first two episodes, please do so. Links below. We’ve already pretty much covered Bill’s entire life; his childhood, his adventures during the war, his time as a lawman, and - finally - his tragic decline. We left off with Hickok in St. Louis, attempting to organize an expedition bound for the black hills, and there we shall begin. Research for this series heavily relied upon biographer Joseph G. Rosa and his book They Called Him Wild Bill. #wildwest #history #western

Brilliant, just brilliant. Thank you, Josh. Great series, you did Wild Bill’s life justice.
Thanks for bringing us the old west with new insights and truth's about the outlaws and lawmen of the times
Outlaw UP!!!!! the last and final episode! The wild bill episodes where just as good as every other episode on every other old west character you've done. Fantastic job my friend. The Outlaw Saloon in San Antonio always enjoys opening a new beer, pouring a fresh whisky or grabbing their preferred mixed drinks and listing like a 5 year old listing to grandpaws old stories. Still waiting for the side characters of Lincoln County War. All of Billy the kids friends. Oh have you seen Billy the Kid on Epix? highly recommend it.
Jesse Evans next week! Thanks for all your support, Ovie.
Last and final are the same thing potna
Excellent series, many thanks for the compilation and analysis!
Thanks Bro.
Glad to hear Charlie utter mentioned
This was an awesome trilogy Josh. You did Wild Bill great justice and detail. Thank you for the work you put into this.
Thanks man
Awesome show
Started part 1 this morning just now finished part 3 man these are so freaking interesting love it dude
Glad you enjoy it!
Good show loved all 3
It's bitter sweet how there's so many of these interesting people from the 1800s that no one nowadays talks about
So much history and personal accounts that document the Wild West that, unless you're around the culture, people just sum up to cowboys and Indians
These people are some of the realest I've ever had a chance to learn about
Criminally underrated channel
Narrations fantastic and the accent helps get you into the mood of wanting to listen
I wish there was more like this out here than the million history channel documentary rips that get posted
I'm curious if anyone knows anything about a little town in AZ called Jerome and if it holds any interesting stories and secrets
Alright, I have sound now! Thank you
Excellent!
Great job on another thorough enjoyable episode
Superb series, love your breakdowns of all these! Sharing.
Awesome, thank you!
Well worth the wait. Much obliged
Super excited for this episode. When you posted the other part on August 2nd, Hickok anniversary of his death, I forgot to mention calamity Jane passed away nearly 28 years later to the day. I'm actually at the museum in Deadwood right now but I'll watch this as soon as I get a chance. Thank you so much your content is the best. You have to come to Deadwood and see us
I ain't even a yank. But I love these stories and the manner that they are presented.
Keep this shit up......
I'm trying
My mom used to live on the Deadwood stage line east of town. One year we just happened to be in Illinois for Wild Bill days in his hometown. The people running the event were a little star struck mom was there
Best channel on trying to separate fact from legend on the west and the heroes and villains. Fantastic work!
Great job.. Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Well done. Am enjoyable trilogy.
11.3k subscribers wow. I remember when you didn't have 100. congratulations and keep up the hard work.
Brilliant 👏
Thank you James
I've heard two different stories on how Calamity Jane arrived in Deadwood. One says she arrived with Hickok. Yet the other says she was one of two women to arrive with AL Swearengen
I really like the new format on someone that has them s much documentation. Thanks for an informative podcast, Josh.
Thank you, Tom
Damn good episode!
Excellent series on Hickok and really enjoying the podcast in general. Great work. Maybe you can do a series on Bass Reeves. Quite a few interesting stories involving him. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I will. I did an episode on him long ago but it's only on Patreon now and needs to be re-done
@@WildWestExtravaganza btw, congratulations on the 2+ years sober. That's a big deal.
The more I learn from you, the more I want to know. Like the cavalry twist draw
Well this is about the best channel on the CZcams!!! GREAT WORK SIR!!!!!
Glad you think so!
I'm hooked on your channel, and subscribed after the first video. You have a great way of telling a story, and making it entertaining.
Awesome, thank you!
Dwight Schrute I can definitely see being related to Hickok.
They both know how to fight bears
Thanks 4 the info will add 2 my personal archive
No problem 👍
Great episode! I agree that it’s bad news when you start hitting it first thing in the morning, especially if it’s hard liquor and it becomes a daily habit, which it usually does. It started for me when I broke my leg in a bad fight and had very little pain medicine after surgery. Vodka helps. For awhile, until you get pancreatitis and nearly die.
Entertaining the whole class
I went to Deadwood South Dakota , this summer , beautiful place , went to wild bills grave and calamity Jane ( side by side) as well , city is very active all summer , visit broken boot mine, and few other places the bars are great , live music gambling stayed about 20 minutes from deadwood
Fuck!! What a series. Love this channel
Another great video as always Josh. Was realky looking forward to this one. Would you ever want to do a video on Thomas "Black Jack" Ketchum and his gang?
He's high on the list
Again good job W.W.E.
Thanks
Nice Josh
I can see Bill chasing the dragon from time to time but Kit? I don't know. From what I've read about him he doesn't seem the type.
Excellent episode Josh. Maybe the best one yet, all I knew were just the basics of Hickoks story. The new information was very neat. I don't know if you've done an episode on Tom Horn or not if not please consider it.
Last time I got drunk, which was Saturday, I stumbled through the woods and showed up uninvited to a biker bar. Came back home to feel like I was dying from alcohol poisoning and could pick my head up just enough to see my cousin's gfs were taking care of me.
Those angels aren't here tonight.
I'm about to start drinking and watch some old school Bill shit. Let's see what we can get up to.
Okay... I'll buy you a coffee
Thanks man!
Josh, you need a copy of I Buried Hickok.
Love your stuff, very informative; yet Its quiet where I work and I'm sure my bossman is wondering why I randomly start
laughing laughing my ass off with my earbuds in.
Thanks Scott
I used to see the cousin thing in books and be confused but it’s actually quite simple. If you and I have a parent that are siblings, we are 1st cousins. If you are 1st cousin to my dad, we are 1st cousins once removed and I would be 2nd cousin to your child. The 1st, 2nd, etc.. is people the same number of generations away from their common ancestor. The “once removed” are off by that number of generations from the cousin referenced.
So, 6th cousin 6 times removed means he had an ancestor 6 generations ago that was a 6th cousin to Wild Bill. At Obama’s age, the math doesn’t add up for it to be any more than 4 times removed, but its possible if all his people were born about 20 years apart.
Wild Bill has a sadness in his eyes in all of his photos
5 gallons whisky bottle.❤️💕❤️
The black hills are BEAUTIFUL, IF YOU VISIT, KEEP IT THAT WAY PLEASE 🙏
Did you think I was going to go up there and trash it up???
Well did.
Excellent
I was in Deadwood a couple weeks ago. The “ Number 10”saloon has Wild Bills “ death chair”. Across the street is the Wild Bill Bar. Bill was killed here, NOT at the present “ Number 10.” Somebody has the legal right to “ Number 10”. The town Burned Down in 1879 AND 1884 I was told. At the Wild Bill Bar, Bill was DOWNSTAIRS playing cards. There was No windows. This was the previous location of the ORIGINAL Number 10 Saloon. It costs $10 to see the basement card room and bar. The Stone Walls ARE original. I don’t know if there was two ways to get in the card room. Going downstairs to the card room is one and I am not sure if they had a rear door OR if that was just a closet, it is downstairs.I said , “ What about Wild Bills Death Chair across the street?” I was told,” Wood BURNS,( in relation to the fires of 1879 and 1884)”. I have Never seen Wild Bills death recreated in a basement cardroom to my knowledge. It was Probably a Stool Wild Bill was sitting on, maybe that is why he fell to the floor.
Yeah I think I read that death chair is fake. Good info on the old location of the no 10.
What is your email again? I will send you some pictures of the basement cardroom where Wild Bill was murdered.
Calamity Jane was no Doris Day that's for sure
Have you ever seen Jeff bridges do one hell of a job playing wild bill??
I have
Although slightly disappointing to discover the deadman's hand to be untrue. It doesn't really surprise me either
Watched all three, deadwood is still up there with the best. What happened to HBO? They had deadwood and rome two of the best series. Great job! I can't believe how high the quality of your narration is. Really enjoyed it again.
Rome was so good!
Really enjoyed These videos GodBless keep them coming .. nothing like Ol West / Wild West History .. Thank You From San Rafael New Mexico .. Hey Have You Ever Heard of Gus Rainy ?? Out of Grants New Mexico
Gus Rainy was some type of ol gunfighter that lived approximately 30 miles Southeast of Grants New Mexico Gus Rainy was in his Mid to late 80’s back in 1983 when we were sent out to to secure the Double Homicide scene of a Preacher and his Son being shot to death .. we watched over the Crime Scene that night while awaiting on the New Mexico State Police Crime Scene Investigators out of Santa Fe New Mexico .. Gus Rainy was a interesting subject .. it just might be a worthy story ..
Thanks in Advance
Joe Diaz
Thanks
McCall claiming to have been a hired assassin would explain the mock trial and innocent verdict.
Great stuff my friend
Thank you!
Glad your full time job
Wasn't "Johnny Barnes" the name of the character who was one of Al's flunky's on the "Deadwood" series?
Johnny Burns yes, the Deadwood character was actually a real guy. Did I mention him on this episode?
My old roommate was an extra on the movie The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon. How many cousins away from Wild Bill does that put me?
I believe that would make y'all kissing cousins
Twist draw is faster just don't shoot ur self in the gut!
Understand Jack mcalls paupers grave was moved he was identified by the rope still around his neck
Another great job Josh by the way there is another movie I don’t know if you have seen it or not it’s an old black-and-white Cecil B DeMille movie with Gary Cooper as wild Bill Hickok it’s mostly Hollywood but still pretty good entertainment you might check it out adios
I have not. Will keep my eyes out.
🤠👍

Canned peaches!
Aces and eights a myth

John mccall/Jack McCall same
Black Hills in extreme west of SD. Not east
That is not bills death chair he sat on a stool, nuttal and Mann's #10 didn't have a basement the was the level of the street at that time
Wild bill did sit on a stool according 2 H.S.Young bartender #10 8-2-1876
The black hills are in the WESTERN part NOT the eastern half
Did I say eastern??? Dang it, my bad. They are most definitely in Wester South Dakota.
@@WildWestExtravaganza even so i love your pod casts. And the amazing amount of work you put into them! Great job. I have a playlist dedicated to your work that i play almost everynight before bed and all night. Keep it up
so this "john barnes" i guess is not Al Swerengens man Jonnie Barnes
Nah. It was Varnes. There was - I THINk - a real life Johnny that worked at the Gem though.
Duck Bill
No sound at all
I dunno if y'all are just trolling me now or what. Haha. It works on my end. Give it a minute?
👍
@Wild West Extravaganza Excellent 3-episode set on Hickock! Not to mention the dozen or so others I've got under my belt as well thus far. I know originally you had said that you weren't a historian, but as a historian (if we're going by college focus and occupation at various points) I can reassure you that what you do on here with regard to research and critical analysis is more rigorous than what quite a few historians I've known, and worked with, practice. Also, congrats and good on you for your 2 years man. :-)
One thing I thought of: I'm pretty sure John and Jack are inter-changable name-wise, if only so because of JFK being called Jack Kennedy informally, as well as John (I think in response to your noting of Jack McCall's actual name being John). But that's nothing, don't even know why it happened to pop out to me - you do an exceptional job and should 100% be proud of your work. (I haven't seen the episodes that you pulled from public view, but regardless, everyone has to start somewhere and you're doing a commendable job now from a historical standpoint, but also - and just as important on here - from an entertainment standpoint as well. And no b/s, though you don't know me from Wild Bill, I wouldn't say it without meaning it - and would have no reason to besides. Anyrate, this one is over and I'm going to go check out another.
Ah thank you! I appreciate it.
The Black Hills are not located in the eastern part of South Dakota. They are in the southwestern corner of South Dakota, and partially in eastern Wyoming. My family were early South Dakota pioneers. I otherwise love the content.
I get turned around easily
Dakota Territory was always in the United States if it wasn't, how could the murderer be executed for the crime of killing our hero?
Say again?
Lol thanks Obama
