Black Bart - The Poet Bandit 

'Black Bart' was certainly a gentleman. The 'Wells Fargo Affair' was a matter of honor for the man who was strong-armed out of his future wealth. Wonder what his 'mine claim' ended up being worth vs his takings on the road.

I love the podcast! Just wanted to add that Black Bart actually lived outside of Decatur, Il in a little farming community called Warrensburg. I live outside of Warrensburg myself. A local entrepreneur-type has opened a Pumpkin Patch named in his honor near his family's old farm.

It was said by many of my family members that Black Bart would stop by my great great grandmother house in Marysville, CA.

One question that never needs asking is ... "Why do you hate Wells Fargo?" 😂😂😂

I recently sat on a flight next to the great grandson of Samuel Brannan, the California newspaper pioneer who first advertised the "Gold Rush". The grandson is a tennis instructor who resides in Dallas. California is currently cutting off water supply to ranchers/farmers, claiming "drought". Imagine that.

Well done!

Thank You for sharing your story telling your voice- exceptional💗💗🐎💃

I grew up in both Sonoma and next door Mendocino counties. When my family lived in Mendocino county our house was within walking distance of Black Rock named after him because he hid behind behind it waiting to ambush an on coming stagecoach. We're I'm from he's a local legend and mystery. 🎩♠♠♠

I was always fascinated by Black Bart. This is the most informative description I've heard about Black Bart.

As a newbie to this whole Utoobie thing, I am catching up on things that have me binging up on your material. Your presentation is by far the best. Everyone else is like the dry and boring history teacher I had in high skewl (40 years ago!). Anywho, is you want a real Henry rifle, you'll want it chambered in .44-40 not .44mag. The .44mag was introduced in 1955 so it wouldn't necessarily be, "authentic". I'd also like to comment on the phrase, "Gun nut". I am a "Firearm Enthusiast". I believe you are one too! THANX!

One of my ancestors fought with the 42nd Mississippi Infantry in Vicksburg. And I’m damn proud of it! Deo Vindice.

Dang! How’s I miss this one! Great stuff!

I live in Butte county, 95969. After the Army, I cowboyd under Mt. Sanhedren, Mendocino County. My 1st wifes people, Frank &Peirce Azbil namer the mountain, and discovered Covelo, California 1850. The ranch i worked on under mt Sanhedren was and old fishing and hunting resort at the time Mr. BOLES was active. One of the cabin girls remembered his fancy shirts, and put him in the area, and helped convict him. There us a black bart trail road and his girl friend had a cabin there. End of story.

Black Bart!!!!👏👏👏 Glorious character! So happy that you did an episode of him! Has been one of my favorite characters since childhood (reading the Belgian western comic "Lucky Luke" which Black Bart appears in). Great stuff again Bloody Beaver! Truly enjoyed this one. Great research. Hope they will make a movie about his life sometime. But again, listening to your podcast often make me wish there would be movies made about the more obscure characters of the old west. Thanx again Bloody Beaver! Looking forward to your interview podcast!☺️👍👍

Great job my brother. Your videos on the west are great.

You outdone yourself my friend. I liked Black Bart myself. He was a outlaw that you wanted him not to arrested. As always I enjoy listening to you. Ty, J. R

Hearing this after you really did quit your job was really cool

Just found your podcast last week listened to it every day since great history

Another great podcast! I am with you, I'm always hoping that the story of the misunderstood somewhat honorable outlaw gets away with it. All the stories like Billy the Kid and Butch Cassidy, you are always rooting for them to survive. It seems like in their case they didn't make it, but glad to hear finally at least one got away by the name of Black Bart.

This is the area, I grew up in, Amador county to be precise, but Eldorado, calivarous, Amador, tulauumie, are really one big county, , the same people, and attitudes, just imaginary lines that make the separate counties, these counties were wild, , samuel Clement, wrought the jumping frog of calivarous county, in 1865, , also on a side note Jackson California was, the last town in California the had legal gambling and prostitution , all the was up to 1959, , because of his, it was a booming town up in to modern times, there is a famous story of john Wayne, and a high stakes poker game, that lasted for several days, , you should also check out the Kennedy mine disaster, the Kennedy and argonaut mines were at one time the deepest mines in the world,

Are there any records kept in Japan from that time period that could validate Barts having been living there? Seems like Bart would have left fond memories with the Japanese people that would still be told. Thanks for another great episods!

I been binging these ever since i found the finest podcast on RU-vid days ago! This one tho is s special you can be seriously proud of this one especially! Not that all the others i have listened to aren't sublime. You are the only man i hahe ever heard in my 20+years learning wild west history that can incorporate a 50 cent quote and it be absolute perfection!

Yes there is a sign for a Gloryhole it is a fabulous fishery and outdoor area thank you very much for bringing light to this wonderful recreation place keep making the most awesomeist videos ever.

"Captain! my... I mean bandit! my bandit!"

When you get your subs up and start making a living at this RU-vid thing (if that's the route you're wanting go go, I mean.. the content is awesome and your channel will do nothing but grow), you should do some live videos and go to places like Deadwood (the Bullock Hotel and the Saloon #10), tombstone, Marysville (this is actually in Texas, north of dallas in my home county) ghost town, dexter (another abandoned town in my home county), Dodge City and Abilene Kansas, St. Louis (the gateway to the West), and just any place that has history, especially during the Old West. I think that would also help your channel grow tremendously. Also man (I might have asked this before, but maybe not), could you do a podcast on The Great Hanging of Gainesville, Texas event? It happened in 1862 in my hometown and is interesting as hell! It made the front page of newspapers all across America and even in the London Times! It was insane. Also, if you travel to my home county in the future, theres a memorial for the victims of the Great hanging of 1862. Also, here's a fun fact: Gainesville, Texas is the only town or city in America to annually honor medal of honor recipients. Theres also a memorial dedicated to every medal of honor recipient in United States military history.

Fun fact near the glory hole recreation area, about 5 miles or more away, there’s mark twains cabin on top of a hill, called jackasshill.

OMG Josh at around 19 minutes when you launched into your admonition to viewers to be mature and not making childish prank calls to Glory Hole productions then proceed to give the phone number had me laughing so damned hard it was priceless!!! It hurt to laugh that hard!

B.B! Merle! Johnny! Dis time I remember thumbs up. You are welcome.

The man could do 100 miles in three days over broken country on foot! Can easily imagine him with Sherman swinging through Georgia and the Carolinas. He dressed like a fop but was a man of iron.

I loveyour shit man ,keep it coming !!!

this bit of research was well doneand very funny .... thank you for doing such a great deep dive ...this was amazing i been meaning to do lil storytelling set around good ole black bart i live N california we got a rich history including some good ole black bart tales ive got a few first hand accounts from folks who have very interesting pieces of the story.... i know a family who claims black bart was thier occassionl farm hand .... and only realized he was black bart after he was later arrested

I find it ironic that there is an advertisement for Wells Fargo in this story.

I can relate to his hatred of Wells Fargo. 😂 Didn't know he did time in San Quentin though, it must have been damn near new when he did his bid there. I love history. I never get tired of it.

Black Bart was a real pirate; Bartholomew Roberts. Different guy…

Lol one of the ads that popped up during your vid was for Wells Fargo. They still watching for him. 😂😂

Grab a bucket and a mop... indeed! lol

Wait, I thought Black Bart was a made up bad guy in a Christmas Story

There's local legend that he stashed some of his loot in the area around where I live. Somewhere between gold country California and the northern coast of CA. Seems like a small enough search area but its a huge landscape. Good luck with that.

The San Francisco 49ers are named after the gold prospectors of the California Gold Rush.

Wish todays criminals were that polite

You're gonna get yours black Bart !

Why did he hate Wells Fargo so much? I'll admit their "Free Checking" and predatory overdraft policies almost drove me to a life of robbing Wells Fargo shipments. Maybe it was something similar.

He went back to prison. Where he died in San Quentin. He was buried on the hill above the old jute mill that the female prisoners worked at. I was a prisoner myself in San Quentin. I made it to the ranch. Was given a job on the caltrans crew. When they were going to have an execution, they had us weed eat and clean up the prison. We weed ate on the hill and there was many brick markers where they buried the prisoners who were either executed or died while serving time. We were instructed about some of the prisoners that died and were buried there. And he was one that they told us about

some tobacco and whiskey to smooth out life's ruff edges.

Well told history of my ancestor. *Hat tip*

Annnnnndddddd anotha one! Thanks dude!

Yoooooo. When you did the wop song. I feel out. Weak😂😂😂😂

Glory Hole is the name of my band. We only do covers like, brown eyed girl.

Idk if you listen to bob an tom..but you got a good voice for radio..you sound like a Kool cat..i know your Ex's would say different..lol..but thank you for taking time to do what you do...jackson sundown...chief Joseph..badassez..

He had to rob that second stagecoach the first day. He was already dressed for it and couldn't let the mask and duster, along with the stick guns go to waste

Gold amalgam is also called amalgamated gold. The final product of extracting powder/flour gold from fine sand, using mercury.

Thanks

It does seem odd that after writing his wife for so long,he stops and starts another life.

He is buried in the cemetery in Marysville California along with sheriff McCoy and the Wells Fargo guy that shot him

Josh rocks!❤

There’s a gloryhole near jasper arkansas, no amenities not much for privacy either

You da man, Beav!

just in time.

Tastelessly done.

The pinkertons were hired by Wells Fargo. They were in detective agency that claim to always get their man. And he'll most probably a Pinkerton detective. Too bad black Bart wasn't more cautious. And he probably had more than one personality. It's ashamed of decorated hero return to crime. Even though you didn't kill anyone you still was a thief. No matter what he thought of himself

It's even more of a shame that this man left his wife and children alone without security and protection, and a husband and father. It would appear to me that black Bart held the Wells Fargo company accountable for his loss of his mine oh, and apparently of his mind as well. It's a wonder one of his children didn't attempt to find him in the West, and act on their spitefulness the banding them. Evidently Mary reared those children under the protection of the Lord. And for the fact that she had a Bible and gave her husband one tells me that she did believe in the Lord God.

I DID IT I DID IT!!!!! I am the first person to make a comment on the great bloddy beaver web site 😀 my life is complete.
