Doc Holiday didnt get a degree in Texas, In 1872 at the age of 20, Holliday received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in Philadelphia. At the time, the school required him to attend lectures and classes for five months followed by an eight month apprenticeship with a dentist in Georgia.
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.
Has was also never a Marshal of Wichita, KS, but just a patrolman whose turf was the Delano red light district across the river where prostitutes and chronic gamblers were his closest friends. According to city records he was well-known for two things: supplementing his income by shooting stray dogs for their bounty and his quick, violent temper. Finally after only two years on Wichita's Police force, he was summarily fired for insubordination.
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!
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.
Then you should read up on John Wayne and expand your tiny little mind. He started at Fox studios in the mid 20s as a stage hand and extra. His first movie was in 1926, Brown at Harvard, where he played a football player - which he played in college. Next tine you cry bullshit, at least have a pot to piss in.
@@johnbiela9442 More bullshit, it is amazing how , if given a chance, a person will let themelves down, M/R.M was 19 in 1926 and in your own previous words, NOT MINE, you say he started as a stage hand and extra in his mid 20's, not only do you have a tiny brain but you cant count.
@@johnbiela9442 according to John Wayne's website he never met Wyatt Earp. Yes John did work at Fox. Yes he was given parts as an extra. No he was not friends with Wyatt Earp. Before you call out someone you should make sure you have your facts straight.
@@joyceandrews1617 And, according to you, Wayne's first movie was in 1930. So, I don't know which website you went to to get your information, but you need more research before you call out soneone, you should make sure you have your facts straight,
I enjoy listening to old stories and folk tales of things that happen to people just like us but so very long ago. These stories allows us to share a stress free relaxing moment together. Please do more videos like this that I can share with young people.❤
No other country has had such a host of legendary historical gunslingers/cowboys as America. My great-grandfather was a successful homesteader just N of Dodge City. Just think of going to town in those days and all the ppl you would see. I did subscribed. Good content.
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.
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!
Not sure how accurate the information was but a I learned somewhere that in his post gunslinger days, Wyatt Earp briefly worked as boxing referee in San Diego, CA.
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."
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.
That may be true but my problem with it is that Billy the Kid pretty much demonstrated during his short life that he had serious psychopathic tendencies. IE: he was a stone cold killer. Not sure he would have been able to lie low and behave himself for the rest of his life.
If you're in Denver, it's worth a look. The view is breathtaking. And, being a mile up, it is breathtaking. That cabin in the background is a museum and gift shop. It used to be acceptable to toss coins on the graves.
@@1952jodianne Then Santa Fe should call themselves the Mile High Plus One City? And, if tin whistles are made of tin...what are foghorns made of? By the way, breathtinking was a pun. There are differences being at sea level and being a mile high. Though the view from Lookout Mountain is spectacular.
Me gusto mucho. Y las fotografias aun mas. Vi la del asesino de Wild Bill en su ataud,con la soga con que lo ahorcaron aun en su cuello,pero no se menciona su fin en el video,supongo que sera en otro futuro. Muchas gracias por subirlo. ❤ Desde Argentina.
Supposedly butch and Sundance was killed in Bolivia by the Bolivian army a documentary I watched in the late 80s dug up there graves and found them empty
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.
That was over a century ago, most civilised countries don't need to carry guns, obviously something is very wrong with America if a portion of insecure wannabe gunslingers don't feel capable of living without carrying guns. Pathetic really.
Butch and Sundance never went to South American. They went their seperate ways and Butch's youngest sister said in a tv interview try hat he ended up in the Pacific Northwest where he lived out his life. The Parker family was one of those big families that Utah is so well known for. By the time his youngest sister was born he was already a grown man.
The picture that they put up as Doc Holliday is actually a man named John Edcapule. This has been going on for years. There have only been I believe two confirmed photos of Doc Holliday, and one of them is his graduation photo from dental school
@@gordonnovotny9365almost “everything”… 😊. There has been some very good and thorough research into quite a few of some of the people mentioned … however, I noted some rather glaring omissions and generic sweeps in the boring AI presentation. At least some of the photos were interesting. Prof. Hutton, formerly of New Mexico State University, a professor of American history, especially 19th Century, did some fine work in the field of “Wild West” Hx. Otherwise, I agree with your assessment; and, if we do not get it correctly now, it may be distorted forever. 🎸👨🏼⚕️🫶✌️♾️
Yes it is, just some Moron wanting his 2 cents on RU-vid, these idiots keep putting Doc Holidays half brother picture who was part Mexican suggesting this was Doc who was fair haried and blond.
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.
Annie Oakley died of a deases which caused accute anemia... Her husband had the same thing thats why he died 18 days later ... All this is in medical books in reference to anemia
Yes I was always lead to believe he was called David. It was only when they made Disney type songs about him that everyone thought they knew him that familiarity set in with this Davy rubbish.
There weren't THOUSANDS of Mecicans at theAlamo at all, and as no survivors the accolade of bravery may or may not be true. In any event they took place attemtpting to take legitiate Mexican terrirory to add it to the USA by bloodshed.
There were thousands of Mexican soldatos or soldiers. The women survived and were allowed to leave by orders of Santa Ana. My relative was Jim Bowie's deceased wife and his sisters-in-law were in the Alamo. You are misinformed.
I am a Decendant of Davy Crockett. The Family never spoke about him(for good reason) until Disney made him a "Hero". He was a rather nefarious character. Fact: The only reason Ol'Davy went to the Alamo was for GOLD! BTW, his sidekick, Mike Fink is the Origin of the term "FINK"........
Really. I'd heard that he was shorter than the way Fess Parker and John Wayne portrayed him and some where i heard that there was proof that old Davy had begged for his life at the Alamo, but never knew if that was true or not. if it's alright could you give me more family secrets I'm very interested.
President Andrew Jackson put a friend to run against him and he bought drinks all day so Crockett lost a rigged election and his seat on the senate . It was later when they offered 200 acres of land to settle in Texas he went south.
He stayed to fight. He was one of the last men standing as he was stationed by the church and the Mexicans came over the North wall at the other end. He is a Texas hero.
Wild West 'Era'? Hardly. 15 to 20 years at most from about the 1870's to the 1890's. LMFAO, love the way 'Merkins beat up their history like they 'beat' themselves in their mums basement.
