The pictures aren't taken at the same time they're referenced from

There was definitely a lot more real men around then, even though population has multiplied a bunch since

He's retelling stories. But probably only had one pic of the guy. The age in the story doesn't match the picture.

​@@zehsackett6132thank you

Friend we are glad to have you and your expertise! God bless and stay tuned. Also check out our other episodes if you get time and let us know what you think!

That would be GRAINS of powder, NOT grams.

@@ptm3579 Not about English but a totally different system of measurement. 60 grams would equal over 2 ounces, an exorbitant amount of powder for any hand-held firearm’s cartridge.

I thought it was called a ''horse pistol''', because they were considered powerful enough to humanely put down a horse

Sorry!!! 😂🙏🏻 Thank you for tuning in!

@@historyattheokcorral sorry? Not sorry? lol. Great content, excellent narration. Thanks. Love a good story!!

Literally?

@@Momusinterra Not figuratively within 10 miles.

Did you climb all those mountains that the photos show?

@@normanmcneal3605 there's no mountains at all lol. It's just miles of farmland and brush now. There's some ravines that follow the river in certain areas but that's it.

@@zackthatguy I know that! But, the pictures sure showed mountains. Case in point. Many photos of south Texas, but, this editor opted for mountains

Thank you for watching!

We have a few episodes based on that book! Check out "Rangers vs Lipan Apache"!

What do you mean by British and Irish stock?

From.

@@clemfarley7257 At that stage of history, nearly everyone was, especially outside of a few neighborhoods in a few big cities. It was such an obvious observation that I thought he must have had something else in mind (if that's indeed what he meant).

@@hurdygurdyman1905 There were many immigrants from Europe that were enticed to The Republic of Texas by promises of ample land and a good climate. Mostly German in the early days, then Czech and Polish. Those settlements are primarily in central and southern Texas, from Houston westward to Kerrville/Fredericksburg/Bandera. Most of the men that fought at the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto were from Tennessee and a few other states before the immigration started. I’m 5th generation Texan from two different lines and have bloodlines from all over present day UK as well as Germany and Czechoslovakia.

Thank you!!

I don't necessarily know that I would call it a "great country." Marginally better than most countries historically? Absolutely, 100%!! But "great?" Nah. We weren't the first to ban slavery, and we actually had to fight a war with our own citizens over it (a war, btw, that STILL wouldn't have ended slavery if the average northerner didn't think it was necessary to end the violence). The US then engaged in over 100 years of racial persecution against the descendants of former slaves before the civil rights movement, which only partly fixed the problem in spite of what we most pf us were taught in schools. The US committed theft and genocide against the native peoples who inhabited this land by creating false reasons to go to war with them (the campaign against the Sioux and Cheyenne), taking their land because it might have gold to help our economy (the black hills), committing atrocities against peaceful natives whenever those wars weren't going in our favor (see: the massacres at Sand Creek and the Washita). The US then put virtually all of the survivors on reservations without adequate provisions, and killed the buffalo to make sure they couldn't use their native hunting grounds anymore. The US then restricted civil liberties during the cold war, fucked with democratic countries if we didn't like their politics (see: all of South American history during the 20th century), and just generally made the world a much worse place than it needed to be for no real reason. Today we lack universal healthcare, unlike virtually every other country in the western world. Our education system is also fucked beyond measure, and most other western countries provide college for free or far less money than we do. Are our problems worse than other countries? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We still have way more individual freedoms than most places historically have, but not as many as some western nations once you factor in the effects of income inequality. So, good? Sure. History worth remembering? Hell yeah! Great? Not a chance.

​@@bobthabuilda1525 You're right, this country is no longer great under the helm of Joe BiDumb and his cabinet of PDFiles and diversity hires.

@@kirbyculp3449 Not sure. They have a Dairy Burger, the only one I’ve ever seen.

Did you lie about how white euro trash murdered inocente native people?

There was no picture of Gillespie, but we did not know this!

I don't know why your response "That's what they were. Deal with it Hoss" hasn't showed up here but don't call me "Hoss" . I was polite and respectful with my comment so don't be a dick. You have obviously done a lot of research for your videos and have probably crossed referenced many, many sources. But history tends to be subject to the perspective from which it's told. There are plenty of stories told from the perspective of the pioneers of that era about comanches and their brutal killing and torture. "Comanche roasted captives to death over open fires", "...burying captives up to the chin and cutting off their eyelids so their eyes were seared by the burning sun before they starved to death", "staking out male captives spread-eagled and naked over red ant beds after excising the victim's private parts, putting them in his mouth and sewing his lips together", "John Parker was pinned to the ground, he was scalped and his genitals were ripped off...Granny Parker was stripped and fixed to the earth with a lance driven through her flesh. Several warriors raped her while she screamed' And they did it all for free Tough, hard men who volunteered to do a hard, brutal job for maybe $25 a month, if they got paid at all. Pretty poor wages for a "killer for hire", even back in those days.

​@@jimrob27 Completely agree.

There's many stories of them being caught flat footed

​@blue lies matter Not sure what model those lever action rifles were but they are definitely Winchesters, so post Civil War. Not a huge number of photographs from the era this video is set in survive so I don't have an issue with them using later photos.

@@blueliesmatter2 , My timestamp is not precise.

Definitely very far south! The Comanche raided all the way to the Yucatan Peninsula at times though, so I guess it's not that extreme. Thats so cool you live so close to the actual site! We love hearing about this kind of stuff! It's beautiful country where you live friend, thank you for watching!

My ancestor Seco Smith was a Texas Ranger down near Poteet. Another Uncle, Joseph Long was 6 years old when killed an Indian youth. Raids were always on a full moon. I have always thought it was Comanches that killed the boy.

​@@historyattheokcorral It was Kiowa who came back from Yucatan with tales of seeing parrots, etc. Comanche may well have also raided that far South though I've never seen reference to it.

Dead Mans Walk is one of the clips

🫣🤭 After serious contemplation, I too believe he would of died by now.😉

How is it a shame that he was killed ?

@@cplmpcocptcl6306 is. cd zzz and i and the warriors were still going

@@BigWillyBilly26 for whom the bell tolls.

Waltz for Zachariah!

Did it say how this country government paid white people to murder natives .... women and children included?

F William

Nothing good about them rinches

Old Sam Houston knew what he was doing when he marched Santa Ana back to the Mexican border instead of hanging him. His people still live with the shame of that whoopin’ to this day as well as the next war that Mexico lost.

Santa Ana had no shame, he was a Freemason under the tutelage of Lorenzo Zavala, a Freemason leader under the York and the Scottish Rites, ties to the New Orleans fold. Liberal republicans just as much as the gringos, who were putting and end to old integrist ways of the conservatives of the Mexican Side.

@@billytrevathan6405 must suck to be losing the reproduction war lol

Seriously?

All Texas Rangers were required to know karate 😀

Anytime is on time fam. 💪🏻

What else can be expected from a people who had been abused by other tribes and then invaded by the whites who thought they owned a country that was stolen from the indigenous peoples... And the Comanche took full advantage of the horses and remastered the riding of the horses brought to the Americas by the invaders... So what is the issue?

Try blackfoot they were told because of their vicious fighting styles, and numbers they were the strongest plains indians

Yeah me too, hardly call attacking a small camp and killing only four Comanche a battle.

The White guys are usually demonized in accounts of these kinds of events. That's what's confusing you.

There are no good guys, mate. There are just guys; some do good sometimes and some do bad sometimes.

That is what happens when you move to a new neighborhood!

@@ivanojeda1691 WOW, stay away from your part of town.

@user-mg8tw7yo4f my town of Brooklyn was overrun by outsiders. After 30 years in the trenches. 2001 before the infamous day I boarded a train and then a ship to parts unknown. As a NEWYORKCITY refugee I can never reach the HORIZON!

Yeah well you get what you pay for. Committing genocide, stealing land, lying, cheating, you know, being a piece of shit invader in lands that aren’t yours will get you tied to an anthill with your eyelids cut off. Good for the Comanches! 100% support their fight for existence.

Give me a break.

Especially all the murders the Texas rangers committed upon American citizens

Why? You get that left wing drivel 9 times out of 10 as it is anyway.

The victors write the history books. Apply that question to WW2 and you've got a big can of worms to deal with
