I just went to South Dakota about three months ago and everything thing amazed me there. The Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Deadwood, Devils tower ( even though it is is Wyoming),Custer state park, Slyvan lake,everything. Except when I went it was snowy and low temps. I hope you had a great time. I watch so much of your videos. Especially your Arlington National cemetery. I am a nerd of American history especially presidents. Keep doing what you are doing.

South Dakota is by far a state that is unforgettable, a state packed with history and beauty from the plains to the Black Hills, thanks Mr Mueler from Custer South Dakota my favorite teacher in school, he taught Mineralogy class at Douglass High in Ellsworth South Dakota in the "70's" you had a huge and great affect on my life, he is what makes South Dakota and the town of Custer in the Black Hills my favorite place forever. Every one should go there they will enjoy it.

To my understanding and research into Wild Bill, I have read in a few pieces of non fiction about his life that they buried Calamity next to Bill sort of as a joke as he considered her more as a annoyance, while she was defintely enamored with him.

Per Bob Boze Bell, Wild Bill really didn’t want to have anything to do with Calamity Jane. They buried her there, not only because it was her request, it was kind of as a joke on Wild Bill. They say Wild Bill must be spinning in his grave right now.

I just finished Deadwood and the movie yesterday. Seeing this in real life almost made me tear up at certain moments. I live in Norway and generally have little knowledge of the wild west, but I knew I had heard of Wild Bill and Seth Bullock when I started watching the show. I finished it and started looking up the place and people and I'm glad I found your video. Very enjoyable, and seeing Wild Bill's playing cards, gunbelt and his and Utter's revolvers made me a little emotional. What a fantastic show. Milch truly nailed the atmosphere and the casting was brilliant.

I love the history of Deadwood. I’ve been working with a genealogist who has discovered that my family and I could be closely related to Charlie Utter. My Grandmas maiden name was Utter and she lived in central Illinois where my family and I still live today, but our family originated in upstate New York just like Charlie Utter. After digging through some old books my Grandma had we found a sort of family history book that makes mention of Charlie and Wild Bill, but the thing that is really crazy is that after searching for images of Charlie I came across a particular one that has me convinced we’re related because Charlie and I look a lot alike and I mean a lot alike. lol

4:05 I'd like to know more about this revolver. To my knowledge Bill used percussion ivory and engraved nickel Colt's 1851 that were presented to him and have been thoroughly documented since they were a presentation to him. He did not trust cartridge conversion revolvers due to his lack of trust on the new self contained cartridges and their reliability. There was a reporter who wrote an news article about Wild Bill in his Dodge City days. He said that every morning Bill would fire one revolver out the back door, then carefully clean the gun and reload it. Then he'd empty the other gun and reload it. The reporters said that Bill used almost excruciating care in the cleaning, measuring the powder charge in each chamber, and closely inspected each percussion cap. When he was asked why he took so much time and care, Bill said "When I draw my Colt's I HAVE to be sure". After a lifetime of a dangerous life on the Frontier, it would be normal for him just to not trust something so new and of unsure ignition. He fully understood his percussion Colt's and had trusted them with his life many times. So for that museum to have a 1860 cartridge conversion revolver that belonged to Hickock is very unlikely.
@brendancripps8890
@brendancripps8890 3 жыл бұрын
Was wondering the same thing. Your case about Hickok wearing a pair of '51 Colt Navy revolvers with the ivory grips is well documented. Could it be a case of the 1860 Colt in the video was one of the revolvers he owned, but maybe didn't carry as much? It was very common for lawmen to have multiple revolvers. Wyatt Earp, for example, had many revolvers, even though the one most attributed to him is the so called "Buntline Special."
@TheHistoryUnderground
@TheHistoryUnderground 3 жыл бұрын
Well, that's why I said that the revolver was attributed to him (which is what they said at the museum). I wanted to leave a little bit of wiggle room for myself. I know that a lot of those guys who attained some level of fame during their lifetime sold guns that they said belonged to them (which is technically true, I guess). I think that Bat Masterson was one of them.

The History Underground totally agree with you. One thing I’ve always liked about your series is that you word things in the best way possible as a historian. For myself, I am curious as to the story that that particular revolver could tell, similar to some of the other firearms you’ve showcased. (Personally love your rule by the way). Was it a gift? Was it an endorsement like we see with modern celebrities? Was it just another firearm that he had in his collection. In the case of Kit Carson, I have seen at least five rifles all attributed to him in five different museums from the Smithsonian in DC to the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale, Wyoming, to the Cody Firearms museum. Always interesting

@@brendancripps8890 Very true, it wasn't uncommon at all for lawmen to be given firearms or maybe even taken some. It IS possible that his curiosity of the cartridge conversions got to him and he owned an example that he didn't use regularly. And if so with his death being in 1876 (relatively early in the old west) it would make sense for him to own a cartridge conversion. They were extremely popular in the 1870s because of how cheap they were. Interesting approach to this Brendan. The only thing that has me skeptical is in the early 1900s the sheer amount of firearms that started popping up that "belonged to ____" gunmen. Everyone wanted to cash in on the old west.

Just finished catching up on all the previous videos you posted on your channel yesterday. I am very impressed. You speak of history in a manner that speaks volumes, while saying comparatively little, and give it all meaning and imagination. I am also amazed how you find music that just fits the videos you produce. I am subscribed to twenty channels, and yours by far is way above the rest. Yours is is my favorite, and deservedly so. When I am reading a book, it's like watching a movie in my mind. I read words but see things, events as they unfold. Your videos are like a book to me, only I don't see words, but sites and places that let my imagination soar. I thank you for that.

Love your many interviews with other...movers and shakers in this however small community interspersed with your core content too, wish more big historical channels would do this as a de facto "get to know the team behind the content" if nothing else.

You might wonder how Calamity Jane who had little money when she died, could afford such a special premium spot on Mt.Moria. A man name Adams who was one of the richest people in town paid for this location for her.. The STory goes that a smallpox epidemic hit the area Calamity Jane cared for one of his children and saved its life...She had the pox and survived when she was young so she had an immunity to it... Adams was so grateful,he never forgot what she had done ,and when she died he had her buried next to the man she loved Wild Bill Hickok

Jane was actually buried somewhere else, but she was moved to Mt Moria to be near Bill - whom she claimed was her lawful husband but that is disputed. The town she was living in prior, held a fundraiser to help her but she drank up the profits and died a pauper. Watch the series "Deadwood" for the historical references to Jane and Wild Bill. At least that's the history I've researched.

When my husband and I went to Deadwood in the 1980's we took a tour that included the graves of Wild Bill and Calamity James. I still remember the tour guide saying that Calamity would follow him from town to town and he was always trying to get away from her, and that if Wild Bill knew they buried her next to him, he would get up and walk away.

We went to Deadwood on vacation about 50 years ago. Saw the graves and toured the town. Great to see this and refresh memories. My how things have changed!! There was no museum that I remember.. Ha we were in the saloon and the painted lady floor was still there...the poker table with dead mans hand was on.it. the cemetery was very different. When we were there it was just his tombstone and Calamity Jane's. Now they have wrought iron fencing, brick and stone work, and the huge bust statue. Very commercial / tourist friendly now. We had to walk most of way on primitive road but now paved and beautiful gateway into cemetery. What a difference half a century make. ⭐⭐
