    While at the movie studio, Wyatt Earp had made friends with an aspiring actor, Marion Robert Morrison. Marion idolized Earp and studied everything about him. His voice mannerisms, his movements, anything and everything. Marion would go on to incorporate Earp into his screen persona and become the cowboy star we know as John Wayne.

    a sheriff in a colorado boom town was asked about the west's lawless reputation. "There's very little crime here, as such, just an inordinately large number of murders."
  • Love this! True: Young Mexican ladies refused to say Billy was the one in the coffin when he was buried! Privately they all swore it was a Latin fellow with a thick stash! Hardly Billy!

    Regarding Annie Oakley and her husband; a lot of couples who've been together for a very long time end up dieing within days of one another. It's as if they want to stay together and one isn't going to let the other go anywhere without them!

    As others have commented this video is very poorly researched. At 20, John Henry “Doc” Holliday graduated from the School of Dental Surgery in Pennsylvania and then set up his dental practice in Griffin, Georgia. When he was diagnosed with TB he moved to Arizona thinking it might be beneficial for his health and took up gambling. During the next few years he drifted throughout the Southwest making his living as a part time gambler and dentist. His wasn’t the only history mangled in this piece.

    The Billy the Kid segment is riddled with inaccuracies. The standard biography is "Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life," by Robert Utley.

    Thanks so much for this, what a great selection of tales of these amazing people, so very well done!

    Bit of trivia re: Wyatt Earp. He was never struck by a bullet in all the gunfights and shootouts in which he participated. Even an assassin shooting at him in the dark missed.

    I’d like to know who produced the idea that Butch killed Sundance and then did himself since their bodies have NEVER BEEN FOUND?! 🧐🤨
  • Doc Holliday was not born and raised in texas, he was born and raised in Griffin Georgia.... Pike County, now Spalding.

    Wild Bill Hickok drank so much that people behind his back called him Wild Bill Hiccup.
  • @jbow1488
    WOW. So Calamity Jane and Wild Bill weren't together. What a joke to play on Wild Bill. Pretty interesting video.

    Clothes were hot during summer. Cold during winter. Those years were impossible to live a quiet life. Today living is a piece of cake. The anti gunners of today should go back time west. No air conditioning and no heating. No bottled water. No trucks or cars.

    Please do your homework properly and don't use Wikipedia. The Old West is fascinating but also being updated every 10 years or so when new material is discovered, then I will like and share.
  • One of the great mysteries that will never be solved is whether or not Billy The Kid was actually killed. He and Pat Garrett once road together, they were friends, and even though Pat changed sides and became a lawman it's hard to kill a friend. It makes sense to me that he possibly would have helped Billy go free. It was so easy back in those days to adopt another identity especially when there weren't many photographs of you.

    I have no clue why you're mixing entertainers (Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill Cody, etc) with real, historical western shootists and lawmen.
