One of Jim Miller's men, John Denston , killed my great grandfather, Isaac Con Gibson, near Pecos

Killin Jim Miller was quite a piece of work, I know the story well. He was all but a serial killer. Great presentation Rhett.

That was a wild and very interesting story. I truly do enjoy the way you tell these stories and bring us to the grave site. Stay safe out there

Rhett, I really enjoyed this Old West video about outlaw/hitman, J.B. Miller, he definitely had a varied lifestyle. It's interesting how his wife, Sallie's father was alot like her husband, inregards to his background about various murders of witnesses, etc. Loved the scenic background of Fort Worth from the cemetery. Great investigating and presentation of this story, as always. Take care 🐎

Wow Jim Miller really had almost 9 lifes and left the world on his terms Really great History Rhetty very much enjoyed it Thankyou as always

That is a great find. Loved the background on two of the West's most notorious outlaws.

Never heard of this man. Thanks for your great research into the old west

Oh what a tangled web we weave. Very interesting Rhett. As always, very enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you Rhett. Great piece of History as always. 😀🐘💝.

Love your Old West history stories. Great work thanks so much

Such a simple looking headstone, much like a hundred others I've seen. It really makes you wonder what the story is behind some of the other headstones in these cemeteries. Certainly wasn't expecting a link to John Wesley Hardin.

Rhett, very interesting story…well done yet again 👍

Thanks Rhetty for your great video's. Thanks and have a Blessed day

Thanks for this VERY enthralling video, Rhetty!! It sorts of makes me wish I was alive in those days!! XXXX

I love your Old West series, always interesting and informative. This was another one I had not heard of in the past. Thank you, Rhett.

This video was absolutely phenomenal.

Oh that was interesting. Loved seeing Fort Worth in the background. Gave me a good idea as to where you were. Thanks for taking us on this wild west journey.

I agree with Ron. Sounds like an Old West serial killer! Love the view of the city skyline from the cemetery!

Another great video as always Rhetty. John Wesley Hardin actually used Wesley Clements as one of his aliases. There's a channel here on KZfaq called Wild West Extravaganza that done a video on Jim Miller awhile back. I can't remember if I have mentioned this channel to you before or not. I read that before being hanged Jim Miller asked if he could put his coat on that he always wore but the hanging party wouldn't let him. But one of them put the coat on him after he was dead. I always wondered if he actually did have anything to do with Pat Garrett's murder or not.

Good morning Rhett 🙋🏽. Have a awesome day ‼️ AND thanks again for sharing this with me ‼️👍🏽 I'm glad that I wasn't born back then 🤣😂🤣😂 LOL 😃

Thanks Rhett for sharing this wild west story 🤠

wow -i loved the story and you did great telling it -thank you very much

Thanks for the research. I saw the picture of the lynching in a hamburger shop in Ada back in the eighties. I have been interested in his story ever since. A lot of twists and turns and you navigated it really well. The famous rancher and cattle drover "Shanghai" Pierce was a member of the cattle association posse that hung Harden's cousin. When he found out Harden was looking for him he went to Winfield Kansas and stayed in a hotel there. I suspect he went because his friend G.W. Miller lived there. I saw a letter that G. W. wrote to him in the eighteen eighties ordering 2000 head of cattle with a date of delivery and a promise of payment on arrival. The cattle were there within two weeks of the delivery date. G.W. and Shanghai got into a argument in the lobby of the hotel that ended in with a big fight. Witnesses said it was not a fight, they were trying to kill each other. The Miller House is still lived in at 9th and Walton in Winfield. Joe Miller rode a thoroughbred horse to death in the land run to get the property where the 101 ranch was built. They moved from Winfield after that.

Really enjoy these video's living in ft. Worth and born in Oklahoma...raised in the southwest they hit home ...thanks

Wow. What a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing!

Another great Old West video. Well done.

Absolutely love your wild west stories

Oh wow. This family sounds like a Western "mafia". Witnesses and lawyers being killed. Connections to other infamous outlaws. Great episode sir!

I really like the way you started this one. Miller was sure a piece of work...talk about getting away with murder! I also like the old time photos too!

AWESOME and INFORMATIVE. Thank you

I always find these old west stories very interesting.

Very enjoyable thank you for your efforts.

Wait, what?!? You were in my area...hope you enjoyed your visit. Stay safe and warm

Good stuff...Thanks for sharing!!!!

*Another great video!*

Always love the old west videos 👍

I wish I had known when you were in town I would have been very pleased to meet you. Oakwood Cemetery is one of my favorites. There so many famous people buried there. You could have come out here to Weatherford just west of Ft. Worth and toured Greenwood Cemetery (Ft. Worth has a Greenwood Cemetery too). This is the final resting place of Oliver Loving who was Charlie Goodnights partner and namesake of the Goodnight-Loving trail. Also Larry Hagman and several other famous people are buried here too. Keep 'em coming Rhetty you're doing a great job.

This video was very interesting I enjoyed it very much

Well, I'm not murdered often, but when I am I prefer the killer be an upstanding member of the community and when possible a teetotaler. But seriously, Miller's iron plate body armor is always a great story, and one that can only be matched (outside of fiction) by Miller's 19th century contemporary the Aussie bushranger Ned Kelly. Awesome episode, my friend!

I live in Ft worth I will have to go check that out. I love your videos keep up the good work

Interesting story lines, loved it.

A great story told. Love old west tales.

Another nice video!

It was an amazing story, thanks

What the heck lol ? We got a bunch of Jeckyl and Hyde’s here. Just amazing crazy story. SMH I can’t even figure out what to say. Great video !

Hey Rhett. Wow, this man led a colorful life. Teaming up with some very interesting suspects. Even my wife's relatives John Wesley Hardin, and Manny Clements. Thanks for the video my friend. By the way, beautiful view of Fort Worth.

GOOD ONE 👍 NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT.

So interesting and amazing to me how many players there were in the old west that I never heard of. I don’t think the old west was for the weak at heart.

Good story. Thank you.

Gees, Now that a moniker ! Very interesting, thanks. 🤠

Didn’t drink, smoke or curse just a big time killer. Great video 👍❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Oh my goodness, that newspaper photo...very neat.

Good job on the video, I did a deep research on him years ago. Very interesting character. I read he asked the guys who hung him to please put his hat back on him after they hung him. His favorite weapon was a shotgun and usually shot people in the back.

Very interesting!

Wow great history lesson

Just a Gorgeous place. Wow

The lawyer who was coming to defend the criminals in Ada was very interesting in his own right. Moman Pruiett, "He made it safe to murder."

Wow that was very interesting about the connections with the families. Small world

Aah - for the good ol' days!

Great video, very interesting and thorough! he lead a lucky life a bit too long.

Good job with video. Been through this cemetery. I went through and researched veterans buried there

That’s my great (x8) grandfather and so I find this quite interesting, especially since I still live where he was buried. My Grandpa also owns the original photo of his hanging which is kind of cool

Very interesting

Love that cemetery! Interesting character!

Great video and very cool cemetery🪦

Holy cats! Jim Miller looks a whole heck of a lot like actor Patrick Fischler!

What is the name of the theme music in the front of this video??...I am thinkin its a theme song from a western series back in the 60's or 70's?....driving me nuts trying to figure out which one....

what a great story. Jim Miller was similar to Wyatt Earp and his brothers. they danced on both sides of the law. beautiful cemetery that he is buried in. thanks

In John Wesley Hardin's autobiography, he calls Mannen Clements 'Manning'. I wonder why the discrepancy.. Very interesting video!

Armored vest before its time. Crazy family.

Love visiting PECOS MUSEUM to see his history... CLAY and Miller would have been a good fight.

Miller is quite a colorful life just wouldn't go down easy. i feel he knew he was a bit crooked because who thought to wear a metal vest , u know the guy was clever 🤔 😅.I can just imagine Fraziers face after the dust settled nope Miller's still standing probably laughed about it too .Great work thank you beautiful cemetary btw

51 men by his own admission, seems that may be a true count for Mr Miller. That is a beautiful cemetery and I believe that is where Clyde Barrett is buried, no? Thanks for posting this video, you do wonderful work, and do great research!

I live next to historic Woodlawn in Toledo Ohio. Graves going back to the 1820s. You can see where waves of disease would run though the area every 15 yrs and kill 4-5 small children in the same family over 2 yrs....

That is my great great grandfather :)

Going back to Babbs Switch there were Clements that died in that terrible school fire

Oddly enough, some of this is still happening today if you really look around

Yikes. He was a real piece of work.

Leonard Lee Jones was Mary Wesley Clements' husband. So, she and her husband are buried next to her mother and father (James Brown Miller & Sarah Francis Clements Miller)

Sheesh, he could have taken out Bin Laden. My ex boss came from Ada, Ok. and told me the story of how she, her father and her family survived one of Oklahoma worst tornadoes. The days before radar doppelgänger , and weather Chanel’s and the town was devastated.

Next time you come this way, Holler at us we will take you to lunch.

I love cookies!

👍

The wild wild West😁🤍🤍🦋🦋🦋 Michelle

Surely you would hear the bullets hit the metal plate

Talk about a bunch of murderous bushwhackers! Surprised that there hasn't been a movie made about this. One thing though is the number of times a shotgun was used in the murders. But I once saw a documentary about Billy the Kid where a professor of history said the biggest myth of the old west was it won with either the Colt .45 or the Winchester rifle. But he said it was the shotgun, it was suited for hunting small game to even some larger game, was the ideal defensive weapon in close quarters because you just pointed it and pulled the trigger, didn't have to have a really good aim. And he pointed the only fatality at the OK Corral was caused by shotgun blast. The part about the steel vest though made me wonder if Clint Eastwood didn't know about Miller's story and used that in the movie "For a Few Dollars More".

hes my great great great uncle

I'm related to miller directly

Those kinda people u wanna sstay on good terms with. He kinda looks like Jay Mohr.

Oldest son of oldest son of oldest son of Bill Miller, Brother of James Miller. Question: Does anyone know where Bill Miller is Buried? The last time my Grand Father Robert Lee Miller saw him he was seven years old and his dad Bill Miller had been shot and was on a pond bank near his house, he told his son to go back to the house. That would have been around 1905. Grand pa Robert Lee Miller looked for his grave after his wife passed away, but never found it, Robert passed away in 1990.

Boy that was a small but violent world those guys travelled in. Everybody knew somebody that needed killing I guess. It’s interesting how most of them were ambushes, not the face to face fast draw contests of the movies.

Didn't know he was burried here in Fort Worth

Cold blooded assassin

He just looks like a man your wouldn't want to see in the street.

People say we have a lot of serial killers today, but I disagree. Serial killers made up the Wild West, it’s almost like the term ‘outlaw’ should be another word for serial killer. Killers were free to kill in vast lawless lands with little to no consequences. A breeding ground for serial killers. I think it’s interesting how some people ‘look up’ to these old outlaws.

But they gave him a great grave to honor his life.

Good presentation. Most is true. But people continually repeat the story about him possibly killing his grandparents when he was a kid, a rumor probably started by some author trying to make his story sound more salacious, is complete B.S. It never happened. They were alive until he was a grown man. I’m not defending him for his actions, but as his great great grandson, I know that story is a lie. He was a crook, kinda like a mob hit man, but he wasn’t a crazed serial killer. And believe it or not, he was quite the family man.

Liked shotgun. Boasted while drunk. Died lika a man
