Pete Kitchen and Dona Rosa's Heroic Stand Against Cochise's Apaches in Southern Arizona (ep.3) 

I love this channel. Im a 78 year old Western fan....have been since childhood.

UnWorthy History! What a great find it is. I would not have believe I would sit and listen to a man reading history. Your Energy, excitement and joy of reading to us is fabulous! Thank you.

True American hero who is not taught in the history of the United States. Thank youi

Thank you for taking the time to make this biography of a man I may never of heard of otherwise, sir!

Pete kitchen was married to an Apache that had a lot to do with his relations with the Apaches. He was tremendous for his fortitude and facing such a formidable foe. My grandmother's father and grandfather both fought these battles south of Tucson

Thank you for providing some good nourishment for these crazy times we are in . History is necessary.

Extremely interesting story, thanks for a taste of Southwest and the 1800s history.

Dr. Worthy, we are unworthy of your “free time” here, but the stories and plights of the heroes and badasses who settled this nation certainly are worthy of being told by you. It’s my pleasure to listen.

Another great story. Thanks

Whata great story. I picked up a book in a 2nd hand store. The Trails of Pete Kitchen. I had never heard of him, but learned a lot. Real cowboy stuff! My favorite part, albeit short, was about Chise and Cochise. What dad wouldn't have made peace if he could. Youve made me highly aware of Pete's compassion. Ive yet to visit his ranch and museum but will soon. I live in Tucson. I have been to Cochise's Stronghold. Its incredibly spiritual. Thanks for this❤

WOW, I love this story! I hope it's as true as it sounds; especially concerning Kitchens' character. As a brit, I've realised that in years gone by, up until about 2000 (Spielberg and Hanks), Hollywood had never let the facts get in the way of a good story. It seemed like Kitchen treated people how he would've liked to have been treated himself. And I have to say that I ❤ this channel.

This is so interesting as his name seems to be forgotten in history. I’ve done a video on Cochise at the stronghold but you’ve given me new inspiration. Looks like I’m taking a trip down to Nogales to find the old ranch. Great job.

The tv series "The High Chaparral" seems to have been based on the life of Pete Kitchen.

Glad to have you cover some AZ history. I've read about Kitchen's successful farming enterprise before. These pioneers weren't too picky about how they made a living. I'm surprised Kitchen didn't go broke with all the cattle, horses and oxen he lost to marauding Apache. Thanks for posting this.

Great stuff👍

Being a native I hate how every group is represented as peaceful and friendly. Commaches, apache and navajos were ruthless. Pillaging slavers. The commache were especially merciless.

Another great story, thank you.

Love all the stories

Great video 😊

I have a copy of the Tales of Pete Kitchen that was published in the 50's. It's one of my all time favorite books. He was an absolute legend.

Awesome man.... Great Channel

What a tough bugger this guy must’ve been, people like home are why we have the United States we do. Which I’ll still take to live in compared to anywhere else in the world.

Looks like he was Big John from the High Chaparal…👵🇦🇺🇺🇸

Except for the Apaches, Kitchen and company had a little paradise going there in Nogo.

What an amazing pioneer! Thank you for this all of the other videos. Few men could equal what he accomplished. Greetings from Canada!

T Y for producing these epic accounts which more fully ReCount a difficult and roundly historicity We never get !

Thank you..

One of the FEW examples of a man loving his enemy. Shoulda led with that story imo but thank you very much for bringing it to light. It's true history, layered and complex not simple BS. History to be proud of too. 38:00

Pete Kitchen sure is a dapper looking guy!

Your Show is Top Notch Sir . Much Respect . 🤔 I wonder if this inspired the Show.... High Chaparral. 🤠🖖 ♨️

600 Apache warriors on a Raid! Let that sink in as you envision you and yer small Family trying to defend yerself on a small ranch/homestead!

Louis L'amour referred to Pete Kitchen in one of his westerns.

Excellent presentation thank you 🐓

Brilliant stuff! Thank you

His trading post building was an excellent restaurant until just a couple of years ago, it unfortunately burned again....the shell of it is visible from I-19 just as one enters Nogales Az.

His life could be a mini series that rivals lonesome dove...and it's TRUE!

Absolutely Stellar video. Don't be fool these men were flawed. But They were men. If only the men of today could inspire to be so.

Love the Arizona history

Heck yeah, good stuff!

Da'an'zho I'm 100 💯% native american apache of west texas geronimo is a true native american hero ❤

Fascinating stuff. Thank God we live in safer times.

ketchen was as smart as the Appachie, he thought as an Appachie would, knew to have look-out as they did

They don't make them like him anymore. I am from that area a little to the north, those must have been the good old days?

Excellent!!

“He was a rough charcoal sketch of a civilized man.” 🫶🏻

Interesting…I lived in Arizona for 2 years but I never heard about him.

I can just imagine how good the food must have been at the ranch !

Fantastic story this is the sort of man who made the West he was no Geoffrey Turner or whatever his name was

I've lived most of my life in northwest Louisiana but I only learned in the last few years about the battles between whites and Indians just to the west of me in Texas . That said , there had to of been interesting history going on right here in Louisiana that I must find out about .

Wow the High Chaparral is got to be based on this. Even the flat roof house with a guard on top is the same..

High Chaparral loosely based on Kitchen.

So what does the Rifleman have to do with this

Awww, SNAP!!

I would have love to been an apache scout

Shot a boy of 12 ...making the sign of the Cross...😞😞🙏

👏👏👏

They don't make em like they used to...... Ole Pete cud not be dislodged.

Wow

This would have been Cochises band...but Gen Oliver O Howard made peace with Cochise in 1872...and they both kept it until Cochises death in 1874...Poinsenay and Skinya broke the peace and Taza and Naiche cochises sons shot them

Horrible way to live bless their heart s Yes being fr TEXAS we know about the Apaches & Comanche ...my Grandmother told me horror stories even 40 yrs ago.. of stories She was told by Her Parents my Great grandparents........😞😞😞😫🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Sounds like "High Chaparral "

Police Chief Jim Kitchens got his gun taken away and his hand and glasses broke when hassling the kids of Ouray Colorado for drinking beer.. Next morning 300 officers arrived and i was the biggest and they made me his bodyguard.. So he forgot who was paying his salary.. and he was run back to texas... That Dallas super bowl game was scanning the crowd when there was Kitchens with a sign said Fugg Ouray Co. 1975... I moved to Denver for some peace and quiet... 18 bodies that summer. 9 dead 9 wished they were. Texans turn their kids loose like it was Disneyland. 12.000 foot mountains eat em up...

This husband and wife defended their land and property from the savages

Sounds like TV show, high chapperal

High chaparral? 🤔

Ol’Pete lived high on the hog in regards to vittles…

That was Bascomb and Chato...not Cochise...

I dont think the tribesmen who attacked wagon trains wore shorts .

If you please can I gather information of every new video . I will mention just main points .

The "other" Civil War

Emjoyed the story, but suggest yhe narrator bone up on pronunciation of pronunciation of Spanish and indian names and places.

He shouldn't have sold his ranch

25:25

?

😂

Can u do a video about tupac

"Papago" isn't pronounced the way you think it is.

When You pair pictures of Chuck Connors as the Rifleman and a silhouette of a guy aiming a pump action shotgun with a historical account like this read like a up talking third week substitute teacher I begin to doubt the authenticity of those old photo’s. Maybe throw in a few pictures of fattened re-enactors. In those times when people burned calories growing , raising , butchering , preparing their food and there were no stores conveniences or law. People had to be agile and sinewy. Most people today would never be the wiser if You cast John Brown , Nathan Bedford Forest, David Farragut, Jeff Davis and Abe Lincoln Himself as the unlikely band of sentinels of a desert way station , but their images would be more true to the time. Sadly images of those same notable figures in our History could have their pictures put to photos of homeless Tweakers on Piñata Farms with nary a protest from ostentatious pseudo intellectual graduates of today’s institution’s of “ Higher” learning producing scholars that believe Memorial Day honors Gays who faced aids with courage.

And the myth goes on ...

Bbbbbb

11:21 So they had a lot of Watermelons 🍉 in the Desert. BS

Great stuff again Unworthy, as per usual! However, that picture at 3:26 has me shook- those are two girls? or two boys in dresses? 😳 😂
