- An Explanation of the Real Historical figures from "The Harder They Fall"
The Netflix movie “The Harder They Fall”. The movie assembles cast black actors to play legendary Black western figures from across time to tell a fictional story about two rival groups, the Nat Love gang and the Rufus Buck gang. While the Harder They Fall is a fictional story that departs from actual historical events, the characters are real people, so who were the real historical people behind the characters in The Harder They Fall?

Mr. Reeves is the Real Lone Ranger. His story is amazing.
I have his book. 11/10
Some Historians did not tell that 1 out of every 3 cowboys were either black or indian.
Yeah they will never tell anyone u have 2 research life your self
Black or Mexican.
Mexicans were the first cowboys in america since 1500s when there was no white or black man in americs just indians and mexicans? Did you blacks know that mexicans are native american halfbred indian?
I'm in love with the lifestyle of cowboys it was so harsh at times
Me too…I class myself as a modern day cowboy drifting here n there, love it
The love of my life was black cowboy. He did horse stunts for many movies such as Buffalo Soldiers. He is no longer with us, he was run down by a bull. He had been shot, worked as a livestock inspector, etc. He was 20 years older and had so many great stories. He was a real cowboy and a real man, a dying breed. Man I miss him, boy could he dance! The good 'ol days.
Oh the days of women who loved masculine men. They see scars when my shirt comes off. Oh my god , who hurt you?
Shit girl , I didn't catch their name just their blade 😂
Apparently the term play stupid games win stupid prizes isn't an in depth enough story anymore.
Black play the black cowboy movie 1:23
I went to school with a strong athletic black student who was tops in all the sports. I call him Jim. Jimmy’s goal in life was to be a cowboy. He was an acedemic student tips in all his classes and gained a 4 scholarship to-a prestigious eastern college. Jim did graduate, but followed his desire to be a cowboy. To this day Jim is a top rodeo star, owns his own ranch and raises horses. I was very fortunate to have known him. He was always a friend in deed. Jim was someone to emulate fir his love of education, works and achievements. Jim Brooks if you are still out their I do remember you fondly and was proud to have been a friend and fellow student at BHS.
awesome story..
Awesome video. So well made and narrated. Great photos too . My great-grandfather was in the 9th or the 10th calvary. He was a Buffalo Soldier. Alexander McPherson. After his service in the calvary, he and his family lived in Mexico for many years. And he worked on a large Ranchero tending to and breaking horses. He came back to the U.S. and settled in Mesa Arizona. They were the first black family in Mesa. In the eighty's or early ninety's, They put a plaque of Alexander up on the outside wall of the Post office and had a little ceremony for my grandma and her sister my great -aunt Angie. I was so glad that my grandma got to see and experience that.
That's awesome sister. Salute to your great grandfather
You do know that only 5% of Black people came from transatlantic slave trade. The 95% were here & called Indians. Remember explorers thought they were in India. What native Americans look like east Indians? None. East Indians are dark like Black people with a variety of hair textures
You got to love Mary's character ...Her life would make a good western ...
According to post office folklore the motto of the post office actually came from Mary because it didn't matter rain sleet snow or hail nothing stopped her from delivering the mail.
Not to detract from the mighty stagecoach Mary Fields Montana mail delivery, but the original saying was spoken about 2500 years ago by the Greek historian, Herodotus, referring to the Persian 9 day mail delivery system that the much later Pony Express used in their 10 day delivery system from St. Joseph MO to Sacramento Cali.
The reason it has become identified with the U.S.P.S. is because, back in 1896-97, when the New York City General Post Office was being designed, Mitchell Kendal, an employee for the architectural firm, McKim, Mead and White, came up with the idea of engraving Herodotus’ saying all around the outside of the building.
Nor Banditos either. Her pistols, rifle, & shotgun saw to that! They let her be! There is@least 1 recorded instance of an attempted robbery, but they fled empty handed. Her tough reputation was well known in the territory & she was backed/supported by those who counted on her to get the mail thru'. She NEVER disappointed them.
@@SmokeyTreats was this the same Herodotus who described the ancient Egyptians as Black?
The production of the harder they fall did a great job 👏🏾 with matching the depiction of the characters they almost look alike ❤❤❤
Ummmm...Not STAGE COACH MARY!! They did her wrong... they should have just made that character her own person and left Mary her own character
No they didn’t. Stop
Mary Fields was about 6 feet and big as hell
Love it! Black history never told. Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for this great broadcast.✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Should be doing alot of movies about the African American Cowboy
As long as the don't f$uck things up with cast members such as these.
Exactly ppl
I found the comparison to the movie quite interesting. I like that you told the story plus used live film, art, and photos.
So often some people will just assume the movie is fact.
This is very engaging, you made this so interesting I want to know more about our ancestors in the " wild west" and our black cowboys in todays time of American History. I also want to visit where their monument and statues stand. What a double treat at the end.
Thank you so much.
Not all black people went north or east, many went west, especially after that hellish "War Between The States." Not only were there black soldiers & cowboys, but outlaws, gunfighters, even lawmen as well. Many tales remain to be told of that now long gone era. Contrary to what tv & movies showed me as a youngster, my point is WE WERE THERE!
You got that right.
It's an impressive welcomed style and substance. Comparing and contrasting most welcomed, too!
Don't Forget The Philly Cowboys
Held my interest from beginning to end. Thank you!
Thanks, i went too the Black cowboy Museum in Rosenberg Tx it was nice.
Brother, I want to thank you for this very comprehensive documentation of some very well-known and little known but not often understood, black cowboys and western heroes. According to historical records, Bass Reeves used to give out silver dollars to those who aided him in his arrests and the horse he rode, was a gray stallion.
wow thank you for this info i will spread this info and your site to every one who will listen
An extraordinary accomplishment, this production, in total!
Bravo!
Keep this team together moving forward.
History is alive!
It's how things ended up where We The People are NOW and LATER, maybe, maybe not.
Loved this movie!!! Why wasnt it promoted more? Not many have seen it despite the amazing actoers. So many great black cowboys we never hear about and bass reeves was just about one of the most bad ass people to ever live and was the inspiration for the lone ranger. We need these stories to be told and taight to out youth.
Great educational documentary of just some of the very interesting and great black men in those days.
Great essay.
There would be no Lone Ranger were it not for Bass Reeves. His genius is only one small bit yet great part of our rich, American Freedmen history. It’s too bad that many skip over this to “go back to Africa.” It’s all good but our American, post-Emancipation ancestors made unbelievable strides.
well go back then, da fuq you waiting on!
Great clip. Can you do William Henderson Foote if you haven't already?? ❤
Interesting how practically all of them had American Indian ancestry or were connected to American Indian culture is some capacity. Very interesting.
Well who else we gone mate with back then
@@Only1TwoVs That’s besides the point. The point is, that a lot of us Black folks do in fact have Native Ancestry yet hardly any of us reap any benefits from it
@@Only1TwoVs A good point, however there are just as many white women impregnated by black men. The potency and forbidden nature of the dark fruit was too much for some women to resist.
@@jessicamcdaniels2337 Benefits?
Because the Indian where you you think they erase your history for no reason dis rabbit hole gets deeper than anyone will imagine just no a lot of people benefit off own people not now who they really are and dats big fact
Great Content
Thanks for the history.
It's all about the work you putting in your life that is within you you're self to live that life and it's still going on till this day
"Well Done" & Informative.
Thanks for that beautiful information nice
Thank you!😊
nice video well done
A limited series based on the life of Reeves entitled Lawmen: Bass Reeves began airing on Paramount+ on November 5, 2023. It also aired on CBS.
bro i got to tell you. please never stop posting my g i’ve learned so much and it’s opened me up to start diving deeper into your topics to understand our people and culture even more. your content is unique, as non biased as possible, educational while being entertaining ✊🏽 had to sub and TO notifications and will be sharing you got my full support ✊🏽
Thank you good video
Fascinating, thank you 🙏🏾 🤎
I know that there is a reasonbwhy I am seeing this video. My first impression really was a good sum up of what I was seeing last year.
Excellent video. Think I’m going to go watch Hateful 8
Loved this
Thank you 💯
Nat Love had multiple children from native Mexican women also in his cowboy days he loved women and was in Mexico for many years my granddad would say in his story’s he died at 105 I wonder what happened with all his offspring ???? no one talks about this!!!! I wouldn’t even know where to find this information 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Wow, didn't know this part. Lol. I am his great (3) granddaughter. I learn about him from my grandfather when I was very young. 😊
Nat Love, also known as "Deadwood Dick' was never an outlaw. Rufus Buck was. Like "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby, Buck & his crew terrorized what was then OK territory.
Fascinating!
This is the first that I've heard of this movie. I guess I know what I'll be watching tonight.
Thanks!
They needed to have Leslie Jones play the character of Stage Coach Mary. Idk how they missed that opportunity. I wonder if she even auditioned for it. Personally I believe she would of been perfect for the role.
I thought the same thing.
The "real" Stage Coach Mary had a heart of gold, but make no mistake. She could drink, smoke, chew, cuss, fight, & shoot with the best of them! In one recorded instance an angry patron had argued with her over a laundry bill. The man pulled a pistol & shot her. Enraged, Mary pulled her own & SHOT HIM BACK! Only the town sheriff's intervention stopped the fight before it became a homicide. I believe Mary would've killed him if it had become a full tilt shoot out.
The film may've made for good "Hollyweird" entertainment, but was hardly a factual portrayal of these persons anymore than was "Posse" or the brilliant "Butch Cassidy" was with Newman & Redford. Old timers who claimed to have known them back then said Newman's portrayal of Cassidy was "pretty close."
I appreciate your selection of historical archives. In addition, I enjoy your energetic narrations.
The problem is they didn’t call themselves cowboys. They used another word that I don’t remember and it’s interesting I can’t even find it on Google. The yt man is the one that started using that term.
My favorite period of history. Perfect video!
Funny how my Dad tells me “We arent supposed to be Farming” and “We aint supposed to do that” or “We aint supposed to be there”… He still wont come to my Ranch. And ive been raising Livestock for 15+ years
I just found out from my father a few months ago that I'm related to Nat Love which is so very cool❤
So that means you’re related to faizpn love(Big worm)
Hey cuz. Nat love is actually my great.... grandfather. Learned from my grandfather when I was young. I always been interesting in learning about him 😊
This was dope
I don’t know how this ended up in my algorithm, but it is fucking dope.
Thank you
My Family… GRATITUDES FOR TELLING HIS STORY.. much love my bro.. too bad the movie didn’t tell the real story. It would have been way better than the fake movie.
I said the same thing, I actually glad my great.... grandfather is getting to be😊 know. Love it.
All praise and all glory to the Most High blessed be he very informative keep up the great work shalom.
Yes very interesting. I don't know why but for some crazy reason I'm absolutely drawn to black history and Black culture it's so very interesting and fascinating. I completely hate that the world was denied truth about so much. Black outlaw cowboys oh yeah that's hott ❤ thank you so much for this post
Really! Why is it so crazy that your drawn to black history and black culture.
Willie Kinnard was actually a full U.S. Marshall of Colorado mining town Yank Hill. Very unusual for his era. Several men tried him during his time there, they all came out 2nd best.
Braaaap!
9yhhm rou
I enjoy watching the battle at Little Big Horn.. that's what happens to thieves
Yeah there where Black Cowboys, Hispanic Cowboys, White Cowboys, Ashkenazi Jewish Cowboys, And even Native American Cowboys.
Of course
Spanish were the first cowboys in the Americas. Don’t forget
Ohhhh dang! I was so looking fwd to listening to this podcast. I saw this movie and the characters were really interesting. But the audio of this podcast is garbage and i cant hear or understand what he is saying🤷 so mad im sure this podcast is awesome
Click on the upper right hand corner to turn on closed captioning. Read it instead. If it progresses too quickly, use the little in the same corner to access the drop-down menu. Look for playback speed and slow it down.
Stagecoach Mary looks JUST like Zazie Beetz 🤔
Yes, Cherokee Bill, Rufus Buck, Bass Reeves, Deadwood Dick', Mary Fields, Isom Dart, Willie Kinnard, & Bill Pickett ( to name only a few) were real.
Yes! I loved the Bass Reeves story and can't wait until a movie comes out! He is said to be the inspiration for The Lone Ranger. Just from the stories I've heard and read about him, there should be a series based on him. 😉😉
@@bphlatsax75 Art Burton's "Red, Black, & Deadly" provides very good account of native & black outlaws/lawmen of early OK territory. Bass served as deputy marshall under Judge I.C. "Hanging Judge" Parker. The racism & politics of the era prevented Reeves from being a "full" marshall. Still, he was helluva man who never failed to get his man, dead or alive. He's been called the blackman's answer to the likes of the Earp & Masterson brothers. I'd love to see a historically correct feature film made of his life & time.
@A. Lee Morris Jr. they were in talks of doing a movie on Bass Reeves a couple years ago (just before Rona May came), haven't heard anything more. He was a crafty sucker too! 😉😉
@@bphlatsax75A limited series based on the life of Reeves entitled Lawmen: Bass Reeves began airing on Paramount+ on November 5, 2023. It also aired on CBS.
I love it but I can't find the Blu ray
This was a great video. I'm assuming Regina King's character Treacherous Trudy isn't real?
I thought these guys were from the gap band ? Cuz u know u have to get up Early to get the worm
Nat Love is my great uncle😢
Being Indian, I was ignorant about Black Cow Boys.They were just workers, who worked hard in Bad West. History was just what powerful tell us forcefully.
Not a proponent of rape under ANY circumstance.
Wow 👌 👏
Most "cow BOYS" were black the white men were called cattle men. Hence the derogatory "BOY"
I love cowboy outlaws , I thing who I would have been .I know that my grand father wasn't nothing to lay with
I understand what people post and I try to give them their space.
Tons of black cowboys! Early on the cattle drives a majority of the cowboys were black folk and Indians. Awesome US cowboy/western history...
Cowboy was a profession like carpeted or mechanic
That’s what we know, but they aren’t saying.
Your right but it still wasn't a prized title hence why white ranchers were know as "cowpunchers" or "cowhands"
Thx u4da tru story 🌸🍯🐝🦾🇺🇸🐉💋
interesting history
Why is there no subscribe button?
Bass Reeves he very famous die like king lot of important people come,
There needs to be a Cathay Williams movie! 😉😉
Shame she was cheated out of her pension
Very educational enjoyed the content ,I was aware that most of the winning jockeys during the 1800 and 1900 were black.
Free education about the pitbull history as well I'll sub
Sad that this story has to fictionalized, like this & every part of history needs to be told and taught. I'm looking forward to the Bass Reeves show coming out.
With the great athletes of color in today's world can you imagine the tricks and talents they showed as cowboys just like jockeys and the first kentucky derby winners someone try to phase it out but we were taught it even the Indians were impressed and although you will see wagon trains going across the west you never see the Buffalo soldiers who were used to help them get to their destinations
Pretty good on will Pickett but you need to read his autobiography it tells you a little bit more like he could rope a coyote down to somebody stole his billfold when that horse kicked him in the head and the 101 Ranch was the circus and they sold it I believe Barnum & Bailey and there's more
It was most likely they had Indian blood in them, and some were black and the Goverment did care and did them anyway they wanted to!
Was that Bass Reeves (bottom left) in that picture with all those Marshalls?
It looks like him
Wow so nat was in dead wood but not in the t. V show!!
RWS
Here we go not knowing any of these people because they make sure. Dodge city one of the biggest and famous an he looks like a native
He ain't do Trudy Smith tho I definitely wanted to know if tht Hope story was true
It's cool that it's a black cowboy movie but I grew up near where all these things happened and was excited to see a movie about these folks... unfortunately that's not at all what this movie was. It came off as an exploitation film more than anything and it was definitely nowhere near the truth. Furthest thing from it. Same thing with that Bass Reeves movie. They really screwed that one up. So many good stories that would've been good enough on their own but apparently it's impossible for anyone to make a historically accurate movie... even when the truth is way better than the fiction they still muck it up
The story of black cowboys must be we were heroes and we take a place in history to
His.name.was.
Harmon.crews..
Not sure how your photos match your narration. I found it confusing.
fucking amazing. you are an amazing person just let it be true. I believe you.
Can we please keep 💯 This is the game, and Effie is playing it the way it should be played. Tariq and Braden don’t have the balls to do. Reality Lauren told Tyriq to his face “she was working with the Feds to take them down 🤷🏾 Why would he give up Effie up she’s too valuable to the team in this game of LIFE & DEATH WITH NOMA!
15:06 is not Cherokee Bill.
Cause most of the natives were copper colored folk .....
No they weren’t, quit trying to make native Americans black. Culture vultures.
They died today over a century ago. RIP.
Daammm ,, Nat Love,,,,,,
Love is a Indian last name
Why is this story being told with White cowboys in background? Just curious.
Actually Blacks were Cowboys ,see the term "Boy"
Whites were called Cowhands.
