I'm historian Mark Lee Gardner.
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Let's answer your questions from the internet.
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is Wild West Support.
0:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This question
0:11
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
is from Quora.
0:12
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Who is the most dangerous outlaw in the Old West?
0:15
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well, there's several candidates.
0:17
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
John Wesley Hardin.
0:19
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
maybe killed as many as two dozen men.
0:21
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He's the one you might have heard of that killed a man just for snoring.
0:24
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He heard a loud snoring through the thin wall in this hotel and fired
0:29
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
several shots,
0:29
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and he stopped snoring.
0:31
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But I just think Jesse and Frank James are a little scarier.
0:33
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I would vote for them as the most dangerous.
0:36
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Jesse and Frank had come out of a very vicious,
0:39
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
horrible civil war.
0:40
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One of their leaders was called Bloody Bill Anderson,
0:42
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and he actually hung Union soldiers' scalps from his bridle and saddle.
0:46
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And after the war,
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Because they'd become so numb to that violence,
0:50
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it just didn't bother them to kill somebody.
0:53
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And there were lots of innocent victims in their robberies.
0:56
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You either opened up the safe or you got shot,
0:58
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they were serious.
0:59
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One man who knew them said,
1:01
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
if Jesse said he was going to kill you,
1:02
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you could probably talk him out of it.
1:04
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But if Frank said he was going to kill you...
1:06
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he was going to kill you.
1:07
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Made of Dope,
1:09
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
WTF is a 49er.
1:11
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Gold is discovered in California in 1848.
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The news rushes eastward and the very next year,
1:18
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
1849,
1:19
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
sees hordes,
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
thousands of potential gold seekers traveling west to California
1:25
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they got named the 49ers.
1:29
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Tombstone or Wyatt Earp?
1:30
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Which film did the OK Corral scene best?
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I feel like the Wyatt Earp,
1:34
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Kevin Costner version is a little more accurate in that it has the gunfighters much
1:38
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
closer together.
1:39
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They were literally within a few feet of each other.
1:41
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The Tombstone movie with Kurt Russell,
1:43
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it's a very big lot.
1:45
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And actually that lot where the gunfight occurred,
1:47
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
estimates are as small as 15 feet across.
1:50
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So it's very tight,
1:51
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
very compacted.
1:52
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One thing that I liked about both
1:54
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
films was that they did pull from the historical dialogue that was taken
1:58
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
down in witness testimony after the OK Corral gunfight.
2:01
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That one famous line where Doc Holliday tells one of the Baclaris,
2:05
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he says, you're a daisy if you do.
2:07
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well, that actually was what he spoke at the time.
2:10
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But the one thing that really stood out to me was that they have the Earps and Doc Holliday
2:14
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
pulling guns from holsters.
2:15
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Wyatt Earp pulled his revolver from a coat pocket.
2:18
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Doc Holliday pulled his revolver.
2:20
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
from a coat pocket.
2:21
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It was very common at that time to have tailors make pistol pockets in
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
your coats.
2:26
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It said that Wyatt Earp's pocket was actually lined with canvas to ease a
2:30
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
revolver coming out of that pocket and not catching the hammer on your coat.
2:34
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
User 714943 says,
2:37
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
please help me make a Wild West playlist.
2:40
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well, I'd be happy to.
2:41
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I play lots of Wild West songs.
2:43
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You know, the Cowboys loved all kinds of music,
2:46
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
sentimental ballads.
2:47
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Here we have a couple of
2:48
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
cowboy musicians in Texas,
2:49
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they also like songs about the range.
2:52
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And we'll do one for you right now.
2:54
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Hit it, Vance.
3:12
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Whoopi -tai -yi -oh,
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
get along little doggies,
3:16
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it's your misfortune,
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
none of my own.
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Whoopi -tai -yi -oh,
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
get along little doggies,
3:22
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
for you know Wyoming will be your new home.
3:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So in that song,
3:29
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you hear the word dogey.
3:31
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That was an orphan calf.
3:32
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
An orphan calf is eating,
3:34
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you know, kind of coarse -range grass,
3:37
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and their bellies get extended,
3:39
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they were called doe -bellied,
3:41
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
or doe -guts.
3:42
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And from that,
3:43
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
we get the word dogey.
3:44
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Here's another one for your playlist.
3:46
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's Old Dan Tucker.
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Old Dan Tucker
3:51
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
down in town,
3:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
riding a goat and leading a hound.
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The hound gave a howl,
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the goat gave a jump.
3:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Throwed Old Dan a straddling stump.
3:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way.
3:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way.
4:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way,
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
old Dan Tucker.
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He's too late to get his supper.
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way.
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way.
4:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Get out the way,
4:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
old Dan Tucker.
4:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He's too late to get his supper.
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Thank you,
4:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Vance.
4:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Thank you.
4:16
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Chris J.
4:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Jarrett says,
4:18
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Watching a Western the other day,
4:19
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they had to check their guns to come into the city.
4:22
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Made me think,
4:23
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
did the Old West have stricter gun laws than we have now?
4:26
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They did have very strict gun laws in the towns or the cities.
4:29
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Places like Tombstone,
4:30
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Wichita and Dodge City,
4:31
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
these are big cattle towns.
4:33
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They're driving huge herds of cattle in.
4:34
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The cowboys are getting paid off.
4:37
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They have guns.
4:38
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's dangerous.
4:39
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So these communities had city ordinances.
4:42
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
preventing the wearing of guns,
4:43
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
preventing having concealed weapons.
4:45
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Only lawmen were able to carry their guns.
4:48
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's a very dangerous occupation for a lawman to disarm drunken cowboys.
4:52
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So these cowboys,
4:54
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
when they came in with their guns,
4:55
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they had to check them.
4:56
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They had to drop them off at a certain location.
4:59
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And then when -
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They were leaving town,
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they could pick their guns up and take them back with them,
5:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but they could not be wearing firearms while they were in these city limits.
5:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Lee Sacks,
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
did Old West saloons have anything else to drink other than whiskey and beer?
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Cowboys must like a fancy drink every once in a while.
5:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
All these boom towns,
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
whether it was Dodge City or Deadwood or Tombstone.
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They had well -stocked bars,
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and we have lots of photographs,
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and you can see all different types of bottles,
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
whether it's wine or champagne,
5:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
brandy,
5:27
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
gin.
5:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
In 1874,
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there was a book published,
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The Bartender's Guide,
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
that gave you how to make cordials,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
juleps,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the more elaborate bars,
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and there were many.
5:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You could just make any drink that you had a hankering for.
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Javer Hugo asked,
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
what hats were really most common in the Wild West?
5:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The most famous hat maker actually made the hats in Pennsylvania.
5:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
His name was John B.
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Stetson.
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But he had gone to the West.
5:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He was part of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in 1859.
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But in the 1860s,
5:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he developed a hat called the Trail Boss.
5:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And it had a flat crown and just a standard wide brim.
6:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But it was very well made.
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And he developed a reputation.
6:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And I've actually got a real Stetson hat here.
6:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is a John B.
6:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Stetson.
6:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's got the wide brim,
6:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
nothing fancy with the crown.
6:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is called a pencil roll rim here.
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is probably from like the 1920s or 1930s.
6:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They weren't the only ones that made cowboy hats,
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but if you were a cowboy and you had the money,
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you wanted a Stetson.
6:24
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Another popular style of hat was the derby or what might be called the bowler hat.
6:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There's that famous picture of the wild bunch,
6:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the outlaws,
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Butch Cassidy,
6:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and some of them are wearing the derby hats.
6:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And if you wore a certain kind of hat,
6:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you might draw attention and get picked on.
6:38
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There's a story from Tombstone,
6:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Arizona.
6:40
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Whenever a dude came in wearing a top hat,
6:43
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
now a dude is like a newbie,
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
a city slicker,
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
what have you.
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Doc Holliday,
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
if they spotted him,
6:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
would follow that dude around ringing a dinner bell,
6:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
drawing attention,
6:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you know, we've got a dude here,
6:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
we've got a newbie in town.
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The next question is from the AskHistorian subreddit.
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
When did the Old West officially end?
7:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Just saw Killers of the Flower Moon,
7:02
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and it takes place in the 20s,
7:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but still feels very much like the late 1800s.
7:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well, that's a great question.
7:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Some people might say the buffalo.
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
When the buffalo are no longer free -ranging,
7:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
when barbed wire fences are stretched across the plains,
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there are no longer cattle drives,
7:16
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
that could be the end of the Old West.
7:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But to me, it's when the automobile takes the place of the horse.
7:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Maybe that's the 1930s or 40s,
7:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but when there's no more horses on the streets,
7:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
then to me,
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the Old West is over.
7:27
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Jed Houston wants to know,
7:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
how many buffalo roamed this country before they were slaughtered to near extinction?
7:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Before the horse was introduced to North America by the Spanish,
7:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the estimates go from 28 to 30 million buffalo on
7:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the Great Plains.
7:42
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
In the early part of the 19th century,
7:43
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the robe trade was very popular.
7:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The Indians hunted the buffalo and the Indian women fully tanned
7:50
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
these robes.
7:50
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They were used in the East and Europe as lap robes,
7:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but
7:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
A good robe had to come from a cow or a calf.
7:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's easier to work the hide.
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So that's the breeding population.
8:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
If you're just killing cows and calves,
8:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it's kind of a recipe for disaster.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
In 1860,
8:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
a newspaper reported that probably 800 ,000 buffalo were slaughtered
8:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
each year.
8:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There are lots of examples of passengers on the steam
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
trains shooting at the herds.
8:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
as they sped down the tracks.
8:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You can see an example of that in film in the movie Dead Man with Johnny Depp.
8:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
By 1884 then,
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there's estimated just 324 buffalo in
8:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the United States.
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
A lot of it was meat hunters.
8:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That's how Buffalo Bill Cody got his name.
8:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He was hunting buffalo and getting meat for the railroad crews.
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And interestingly enough,
8:38
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Buffalo Bill later starts a Wild West exhibition,
8:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the same show that featured the famous gun woman known as
8:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Annie Oakley.
8:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Andy Doodle 56 says,
8:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
wait, Annie Oakley was real?
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Yes, she was real.
8:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Annie Oakley was the real deal too.
8:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
She was an excellent marksman.
8:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
She had a partner.
8:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
She would look at the mirror,
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
had the gun over her shoulder.
8:59
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
She'd have a cigarette in his lips and she would shoot off the end of the cigarette.
9:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It seems very dangerous.
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Buffalo Bill Cody,
9:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the Wild West exhibition traveled really around the world.
9:10
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One of the big draws for Buffalo Bill Cody's show was the stage.
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
recreations, whether it was a buffalo hunt,
9:16
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
whether it was an Indian attack on a wagon train,
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
a robber's attack on a stagecoach,
9:20
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the cavalry.
9:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They got to see Sitting Bull one year.
9:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Sitting Bull was well known as a leader of the Lakotas.
9:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They actually could see this person they'd read about,
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
see him in the flesh.
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I mean, it was quite an experience.
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Very, very popular,
9:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and it went for decades.
9:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Menno Knock says,
9:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
what do you mean the only authenticated photo of the real Billy the Kid was only found
9:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
in 2011?
9:40
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well,
9:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there is only one authenticated and it existed a lot before 2011.
9:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's this here.
9:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is a tintype that was made at Fort Sumner of
9:50
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Billy the Kid by a traveling photographer.
9:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
We don't know who the photographer was.
9:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And there's something you have to know about tintypes.
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Tintypes are reverse images.
9:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And if you look in this image,
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Think that Billy the Kid was left -handed.
10:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
In fact, there's a movie with Paul Newman called The Left -Handed Gun.
10:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That's the story of Billy the Kid.
10:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
He's called The Left -Handed Gun because of this image.
10:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But because we know that tintypes are reverse images,
10:11
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
actually,
10:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Billy has his pistol on his right hip.
10:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So this is the image corrected the way that it should be.
10:19
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And actually,
10:20
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
this is an enlargement of the tintype.
10:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The actual tintype was the size of this tintype.
10:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's very small.
10:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And the reason it's called a tin type is because the photograph is actually made on tin.
10:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The emulsion is on a very thin piece of tin.
10:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Technical name,
10:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Pharaoh type.
10:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And the reason we know that this photo of Billy the Kid is authentic
10:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
is because it was identified as Billy the Kid.
10:42
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
in his own lifetime.
10:44
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It appeared in the Illustrated Police News while he was still alive.
10:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
A few years ago,
10:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
this actual tintype,
10:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the one that's in this image,
10:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
this sold at auction for $2 .3 million.
10:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So that had a huge effect because when a small
11:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
tintype brings that kind of money,
11:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
people are going to start looking for other pictures of Billy the Kid.
11:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So in recent years,
11:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There have been a lot of photos.
11:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They have some kind of a resemblance to Billy the Kid.
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But you just can't identify a photo based on resemblance.
11:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You have to have some kind of provenance that links it to Billy the Kid.
11:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There's a picture of supposedly Billy the Kid playing croquet.
11:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
These are wannabe images.
11:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There's no connection with that image to Billy the Kid.
11:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At JC Meow asked,
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
did black cowboys ever exist?
11:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Yes, they did.
11:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
In fact, as many as 25 % of cowboys in the Old West were
11:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
black.
11:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
After the Civil War,
11:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there were a lot of...
11:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
read African Americans,
11:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they're looking for opportunity.
11:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One place for opportunity is in the American West.
11:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Another outlet for African American men was the U .S.
11:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Army, the Buffalo Soldiers.
11:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The 9th and 10th Cavalry were African American units.
11:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One very famous African American in the West was a lawman.
11:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
His name was Bass Reeves.
11:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Bass Reeves was noted for the many...
11:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
gun scrapes,
11:59
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and also the many arrests that he made.
12:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Many people think that he was the inspiration for the Lone Ranger.
12:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And according to some accounts,
12:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he actually worked with Indian scouts,
12:09
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
which might.
12:10
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
lead to this theory that he was the inspiration for the Lone Ranger.
12:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Ads Marketing 24,
12:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
when did branding cattle start?
12:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That's a great question.
12:19
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Actually,
12:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the branding of livestock goes way back,
12:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
in fact, to ancient Egypt.
12:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But as far as North America,
12:24
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
when the Spaniards arrive,
12:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they're bringing their cattle and their sheep,
12:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and they're also bringing the ways of running livestock,
12:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and we really have our first...
12:32
S… Speaker 2 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
cowboys.
12:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They were called the vaqueros.
12:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This starts this whole cattle culture,
12:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and a lot of the cowboying that still goes on today can be directly traced
12:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
to these vaqueros and to the Spanish practices.
12:44
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One of those practices,
12:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
of course, is branding,
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
identifying your livestock.
12:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This is really a cool brand because we know that it's a Mexican or
12:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Spanish brand,
12:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and the reason we know that is that the letters have serifs.
12:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Non -Mexican or Spanish brands generally don't have the serifs.
13:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The branding iron can get very hot,
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
okay, if you're branding a lot of cattle.
13:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So this is where you would put a wood handle in the end.
13:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The fact that it's not one long handle makes it easier to transport out on
13:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the range if you've got something you can break down.
13:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Okay, at Gilded Santiago,
13:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
why was the 10 gauge shotgun so popular in the Wild West?
13:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Did they just want things extra super duper dead or what?
13:24
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Well,
13:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they did want things dead.
13:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So if you've heard of the stagecoaches,
13:29
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
if you heard of Wells Fargo,
13:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the shotgun messenger,
13:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he sat next to the driver and he held a 10 gauge shotgun.
13:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And that's where the phrase comes that you're riding shotgun.
13:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It was also manufactured with a shorter barrel.
13:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
When the gun goes off,
13:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the shot is gonna spread quicker at your target.
13:43
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's gonna be very wide.
13:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
If you're riding shotgun and you've got a couple of robbers up there,
13:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you want a big pattern and hopefully knock them out of commission.
13:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There were two other firearms.
13:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Very popular.
13:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One is the Winchester repeater.
13:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You might have heard of the model 1873.
13:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It is a lever action weapon.
14:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So it fires several rounds each time you work the lever action.
14:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The other weapon that also fired several rounds is the Colt
14:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
single action army revolver.
14:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Sometimes they called the Colt the peacemaker because that ended any
14:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
kind of arguments.
14:14
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It has six chambers.
14:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You tried not to put a bullet in the chamber underneath
14:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the hammer because if the gun dropped,
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
or if you knocked it against something and the hammer went into the cartridge,
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it could go off.
14:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So most cowboys,
14:27
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
most lawmen,
14:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they arrested the hammer on an empty chamber so that they wouldn't
14:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
have any kind of accidents.
14:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
At Weedmouse asks,
14:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
how accurate is Red Dead Redemption?
14:38
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I think it's as accurate as an average to good Western.
14:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
One thing that always stands out to me in that game is the way the
14:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
men wear their guns and their holsters.
14:47
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It's the Hollywood holster rig.
14:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They have the holsters really low down on the hips for the fast draw.
14:53
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But in the actual Old West,
14:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they had them riding up very high.
14:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
I mean,
14:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it's easier to get on a horse if you've got the holster up high.
15:00
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
on your belt.

It seems like there's also a lot of action in a campground.
15:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And a campground was actually kind of a common thing.
15:07
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
If you're just arriving at a location or town,
15:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
well, you're gonna be camping on the outside of town before you get settled in.
15:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
That's what the Earps did when they came to Tombstone.
15:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They didn't initially have a place to live.
15:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Epica asks,
15:19
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
what was literacy like in the Old West?
15:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Did people on the frontier generally know how to read and write?
15:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Yes, they did.
15:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Maybe you've heard of the one -room schoolhouse.
15:27
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Even in the very remote places in the West,
15:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they hired teachers.
15:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And some of your famous outlaws could read and write.
15:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
We have existing letters written by William H.
15:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Bonney, Billy the Kid,
15:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
when he was pleading for a pardon from the governor.
15:40
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Jesse James wasn't a good speller or a good writer,
15:44
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but he could read and write.
15:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
wrote letters to the newspaper,
15:47
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
loved to see his name in the newspaper.
15:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Some of the dime novels were actually written about outlaws.
15:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
There were dozens and dozens of dime novels about the exploits of Jesse
15:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
James.
15:55
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They were complete fiction,
15:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but they were very,
15:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
very popular.
15:58
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Some people at the time considered that they were a bad influence
16:02
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
on the youth.
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Kind of like rap music a few years ago,
16:05
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
that's a bad influence.
16:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
The same with dime novels.
16:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Don't read those dime novels,
16:09
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
it's gonna make you a criminal.
16:10
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
What's interesting about the dime novels,
16:12
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
especially these Jesse James,
16:13
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
James boys.
16:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
is that they're heroes.
16:15
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They're not outlaws,
16:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
criminals, murderers,
16:18
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but they've been forced into this life where they have to kill to survive.
16:22
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
But they have a good heart.
16:23
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So it painted a different picture.
16:26
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It really helped boost this image of the folk hero,
16:30
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the Robin Hood hero,
16:31
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
which was completely bogus.
16:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
They did not steal from the rich and give to the poor.
16:34
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And it created a myth,
16:36
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
the myth of the Wild West that,
16:37
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
in a way,
16:38
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
we live with today.
16:39
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
This next question is from Quora.
16:41
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
What did they use for toilet paper in the Old West?
16:44
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Believe it or not,
16:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
there was commercially manufactured toilet paper beginning in the 1850s.
16:49
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
If you're some trading post hundreds of miles,
16:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
you're probably not going to have a package of factory -made toilet paper.
16:54
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
You went out back and there was almost always an outhouse.
16:57
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And in the outhouse would be your supplies to be used for wiping.
17:01
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So it could be a dry corn cob.
17:04
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Probably more likely would be a catalog.
17:06
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So Sears Roebuck,
17:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Montgomery Ward,
17:08
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
and also those pulp novels.
17:10
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Once you read them,
17:11
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
they were kind of trashy and you didn't need to read it again.
17:14
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And there's a great story involving Wyatt Earp.
17:17
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So there was a very famous stage robbery near Tombstone and
17:21
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Wyatt Earp suspected who it was and he had noticed part of a dime novel like torn in
17:25
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
half. And as they're trailing these stage robbers,
17:28
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
he continues to find a page or two at different points
17:32
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
along the trail.
17:33
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So these stage robbers
17:35
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
are clearly using pages from the pulp novel as their toilet paper.
17:40
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
And that's one way he knew that he was on the right trail.
17:43
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
It was that same novel that he'd seen back where they were living.
17:45
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
Interesting side fact about owl houses.
17:48
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
So an owl house wasn't just where you went to the bathroom,
17:51
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
but you also threw
17:52
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
refuse or trash and archaeologists and bottle hunters
17:56
S… Speaker 1 (I Tested the Rarest Tech in 2026!)
get old insurance maps of these various old western towns because the outhouses are
