  • That was excellent Santee! Jeff Kidder was quite a character and lawman. It was awesome to see Greg make an appearance in an Arizona Ghostriders video! He's a man who knows his history and is an incredible marksman. Great job!
  • The first death is losing a gunfight or dying in general, the second death is being forgotten as time passes on. Great video as always Santee
  • @rickkinki4624
    I love the way your friend told the story of Jeff Kidder's last gunfight. Great video, Santee! -Desert Rat Rick
  • “Cha-cha-cha Chia!” Never heard a story about a gunslinger losing his life because of a Chia pet. Until now. Well done Santee & crew. This one was really good!
  • Thanks Santee I never heard of Jeff before. Awesome story. Thanks for all your hard work Sir. 🤠
  • Very interesting episode topic. Never heard of him before. You always seem to amaze me with the range of great and educational topics. Keep up the greY work!
  • These are always the highlights of my Saturday mornings. Never heard of Kidder before. Thanks for the history!
  • WOW!!! I always enjoy ur video, but this one is even a cut above the norm. Great show, my man!
  • @joep4235
    awesome vid !!!! Fun to see Greg participate on the AG channel !!
  • Thanks for dropping by buddy really appreciate you as a awesome friend fantastic video as always wow this man could shoot practise makes perfection love the talking dog lol once again thanks for taking the time to see me thumbs up santee your the man I don’t get a lot of time these days as I’m busy running my catering business but will always watch those that visit me have a fantastic week 🤛
  • @RodCornholio
    Kept my eyes and ears glued to the video. Great content.
  • Great video of a pretty unknown guy. One thing, though. His engraved Colt was a .44-40 marked “Colt Frontier Sixshooter”. The ad for it’d auction sale is online with a full story 9f the gun, Kidder’s life as you described it, and great photos of the gun.
  • @rhondaz356
    WOW, as interesting and informative, as always, Santee... I love your video clips, and authentic pics. I had never heard of him. After all the close calls he must've had in the line of duty, the circumstances that led to his eventual death, were surprising. super video 👏👏
  • @AtamiskxIx
    Super fascinating vid! The maps and recreations made it a lot easier to follow in my head. This little bio about an AZ ranger was a neat idea and I'd love to watch them all if yall made more in the future!
  • You right Santee the real DEAL ! This kind man did the Old west we love so much! Great story from beginning to end! Thanks have a great weekend.
  • You always come up with some very interesting stuff Santee. There was a shot of a very young Jack Elam in there. Rex seems to get around a bit too! Very cool video!
  • @Poleson
    Hey, Santee, I just finished watching Justified the other night and must say it was very, very good. Tim Olyphant basically played Seth Bullock in modern day Kentucky. I don't know why this show isn't very well known. Highly recommended!
