Dave Rudabaugh - Old West Outlaw 

“We’re in the spirit world asshole, they caint see us!”

Lol as I read this I heard it in the voice of em in "spirit world" then Chavez screamin

The comment about the chicken was made by dirty Steve Stephens from young guns 1. Arkansas Dave was in young guns 2.

"God less heathens"

“Hey dog… dog… Did YOU see the size of that chicken???”

The movie Young Guns is pure fiction. It may be entertaining, but it has nothing to do with the reality of the story or the bios of the Regulators.

@@stevemccarty6384 True, but Emilio brought Billy The Kid to life. Rudahaugh never rode with Billy. Another Rudahaugh is rumored to have, however.

Yeah but this is getting long and drawn out and off topic.

@@wesleycook7687 source? That is was a different rudabaugh. Never heard that before, I’m interested in looking into it

Cocka diddle god damn doo

Lmao

Or Tombstone

Same thing happens with my surname seems a few generations ago there was some argument (over what no one knows) even 2nd and 3rd cousins now have never met nor spoke to each other. However all are decendants of 1 man who arrived here from the Prussian empire in 1736. My family been here longer than the Country's been a country. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

Since I found and identified my (actually Sallie Chisum's) photo of Dirty Dave several others have turned up identified as Dave. Those pictures were identified at least in part by comparing them to mine. Now, we most likely know what Rudabaugh looked like and I am proud to be able to help historians in that regard. From the evidence in the photos of Dave, it can be deduced that he and Billie were pretty good friends. Both men must have shared a sense of humor.

I haven't seen the whole video yet if I repeat something in the video I apologize. Dave was known as dirty Dave rudabaugh. He was one that took a bathroom every time it rained. It was said you could smell him before you saw him. But this was the wild west when they had a public washbin ate the edge of town every body used it and it was rarely changed. Wyatt used it as well.

I probably should send you a one off copy of Dave's picture.

do you have giant ears?

Thanks buddy

Ha, welcome aboard

It's always been your gang

@@jeremybarbour5124 😅😅😅😅

I was about to respond the same thing

​@@jeremybarbour5124 Don't cross me, Dave.

😂

You talk like you are on drugs or crackhead

@Billey Winn many nights, many nights my friend 😎🤠 classic

You’re alright Chavez

@@earlleasurejr8771 Quoting lines from Young Guns the movie

A clean slate. I hear ya. N there's too much TO NOT believe that Brushy Bill was the man.....that is Billy. Why would anyone be able to prove themselves w bullet wounds, scars, stories, excetra..... n had detailed stories...... bc can't noone explain, in detail, such events.

Movies are not history. They are far, far, far from history.

I disapprove-of his very EXISTENCE,...

Don't ever, ever look to movies for history. The people who wright the screen plays for those films are trying to entertain. History, or the true story of what they are writing about means nothing to them!

Agree with your first and second sentence. As someone who has written movies, including a WWII film, I think your third sentence is an insult. How do you think films like Young Guns or Tombstone get made? Do you think the people behind Saving Private Ryan don't care about history? Your words demonstrate you have no clue what writers do. The long days of research and investigation are often not apparent on the screen. So why isn't what's on screen an exact translation from the history books? Because you cannot possibly show something like the Lincoln County War in a two hour film and expect to do it justice. You said it yourself. Filmmakers are in the business of entertaining not giving history lessons. The best compliment I ever received was from two women who were therapists for soldiers suffering from PTSD. They said we made it so real one of them had to leave. Those scenes were written after talking to veterans which was one of richest experiences of my life. To quote Chavez from Young Guns, AND YOU THINK IT MEANS NOTHING TO ME?!?!? Instead of wasting time on youtube showing us how ignorant you are every time you touch the keyboard you should actually take some time and learn something. I know it might be hard but maybe, just maybe, it will make you a better person.

Hope today is a little better

Thanks Stephane!

@@WildWestExtravaganza You probably know this now. This photo is not Dave Rudabaugh. Interesting story behind it. Cheers man

My mom and dad were born in the early 20s in a little cowtown not far from Dodge City, Kansas. The population of around 1000. My grandparents lived in that little town and I lived with them from time to time as I was growing up. I absolutely loved that little town. It is still there. The families who lived there had been raised in the Old West. I knew many of them well. They were a hard-working lot and honest as the day is long. The kids played in the high school teams. We had parades on holidays. There was no crime. No one locked their front doors. I asked my grandmother once, why she didn't lock her front door. She replied, "What if someone needs something?". The Old West was an honorable place, and I experienced it.

Imma try, Matt

I'm laughing at the thought of Dave reading that comment

@@unofficialsweatt 🤷‍♂️ 😂

Thank you!

Glad you found me

Haha I know what you mean

“You musta heard of me. C’mon, Rudabaugh!”

Keep me updated about the movie!

no trailer on your channel yet?

Is that biography available to anyone, in print?

I agree Flintlock and Costner was a better Wyatt and Quaid was a great Holiday

Accurate maybe. Boring as Hell. Tombstone was entertaining and was accurate to a point. Costner's version left out Curly Bill, Johnny Ringo and the infamous Cowboys that ruled Tombstone. And Val Kilmer was a more believable Doc Holliday. Tombstone was entertaining from start to finish.

Agreed

@@oletimer5853 quaid was better than kilmer,and he lost all that weight for the role.thats method acting here

@@-elchoya9832 Well everyone's entitled to their own opinion. And an opinion is like an asshole - everybody's got their own and we all think ours is the only one that don't stink.

Thank you

Thanks, will do!

I've seen many of hus videos

I saw it a very long time ago but would like to watch it again

@@WildWestExtravaganza It's on Amazon Prime if you have that. It was great use of a new wide-screen technology. I don't remember any other film that really captured the vastness of the plains like this one. The river crossings were amazing, too. They had to get the wagons and cattle across just like in the real thing. My other favorite westerns are Destry Rides Again (funny but still adventurous, heroic), River of No Return (Robert Mitchum and Marilyn rafting the river), and Dead Man (undescribable). Would love to hear your take of westerns in film history, if that's not too far off track. So much of what we think we know comes from movies. When I hear your videos I think of these films and what they got right and what they got wrong, and I know I will enjoy them more next time because of it.

I like both Tombstone and Wyatt Earp. Both have their good and bad points. I really don’t think either Russell or Costner fit the part. The Costner movie is more historically accurate and we learn more about the history than the legends. Tombstone has a more Disney kind of feel to it but it’s by far the more fun movie to watch and quote. Wyatt Earp is just so long and Costner is too soft and his voice is a little too whiny for Earp IMO.

Haha thanks

Gore Vidal's Billy the Kid

Thanks for listening

My man

Thanks Steven

When holding my tintype of Dave Rudabaugh, I figure that he held it too, just a long time ago. So I'm holding and studying something that Dave held and studied too. That breaths life into the man's memory, at least for me.

Yur Spanish is ON POINT my dude🤣....... PS Fuck GullyBull

Great name

Thanks man!

Thanks Jason!

Now that is a script waiting to be written

Glad you enjoyed it

Will be enjoying it for a while with all the work you put in!!

Thanks for listening, Carl

I was thinking that while listening to the Brushy Bill episode. Apparently there have been quite a few "Forrest Gumps" roaming the ole west.

Luke Short is on the list!

@@WildWestExtravaganza that's great!!!👍👍👍

My mother and father were born in a little cowtown in the early 20s only 27 miles from Dodge City, Kansas. My dad and his mother interviewed old-timers around town. They taped the interviews. Those tapes, boxes of them, turned to mush and I threw them away. What a shame. The little town, population 800, maybe less, is still there and many of the houses in town date to the 19th Century. I loved living in that little town. My dad knew men who knew Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Masterson, BTW: was better known than was Wyatt. Bat was elected sheriff of Ford County. He was well known. Earp and Holliday, not so much. They spent most of their time in the gambling halls in Dodge City and were not generally known in the upper classes in the city. Masterson; however, was.

Tell her I said thanks for listening!

"C W wife leaves him for their favorite youtuber.." lol. Sorry bro.

BTW I found my tintype of Dave Rudabaugh along with many other tintypes of other Regulators. The collection of ancient photographs had been owned by Sallie Lucy Chisum. I bought them after the living Chisum family had sold them in a yard sale and they ended up in a local antique shop. So I own authentic tintypes of: Frank Coe, George Coe, Helena Coe, Phoebe Brown Coe, Lilly Casey, Lilly Casey posed with Bob Olinger, Big Jim French, John Middleton, Robt Widenmann, Doc Scurlock, John Tunstall, Alex McCsween, Bob Brewer and others...

Thanks James!

Haha! Thanks! I'm glad you clicked, too.

Thank you!

Thanks man

Johnston is most definitely on the list. I haven't read Crow Killer, yet, though.

@@WildWestExtravaganza just a dumb question, are you " Jungle " from Action Figure Therapy !?

Thorpe's book “ Crow Killer “ is most likely not accurate, but there is a great pic of Johnston in it, albeit in his later years, but might be good for a pic on the podcast.

Doc (Josiah) Scurlock was a heavy player in the early history of the Regulators and Billy Bonney, but as he aged Doc clammed up. He became a respectable citizen and a poet. He lived until 1929 and his family remembers him today. As a youth, however, Doc was a pistol! He got into a fight over a poker game and exchanged shots with another player. The other guy was killed, but his shot knocked out Doc's two front teeth, the bullet exited the back of his neck! In my tin of Doc, one can see his collapsed upper lip. He was not blond, BTW; but had dark hair and mustache.

NavaHO

I never played it, didn't know

@@WildWestExtravaganza there's a part in the game the main character goes to a town called empire where hoodoo Brown is mayor and his two deputies are JJ web and another guy by the name Rudabaugh the main character who name is Colton White he's deputized by hoodoo Brown if you like Young guns you love the game gun check it out sometime

Thank you for listening, David.

Maybe that is why the lanterns were stolen. They did not want to be caught in the dark.

Dave was not killed in the dark. He made the mistake of going back into the saloon where he’d killed two and wounded another in a card game. He was gunned down and somebody decapitated Dave with a machete. The head was then put onto a pole and displayed in the town.

@@ronnicholson4411 So much for my attempted humor. Thanks for info.

Thanks man!

@@WildWestExtravaganza : Im a big history buff and have reads dozens of bio's over the years but its fun listening to you tell the story and throw in your jabs and 1 liners, youve got me laughing my ass off here. And you own up to not being 100% right all the time, hell, thats a rare thing these days. Keep up the good work!

Thanks
