When you think of the Wild West, you probably conjure images of cowboys sauntering menacingly through saloon doors, weapon fights, and outlaws robbing trains. Maybe a little Clint Eastwood or John Wayne poised with his hand hovering over the holster of his six-shooter floats around there in your mind. The fact is, Hollywood took the intrigue, violence, and lawlessness of the Wild West and ran with it, and we basically have one man to thank for making that happen: Buffalo Bill.
Welcome back to Nutty History. Today, we’re exploring the life and legend of Buffalo Bill, the man who created Hollywood’s Wild West.

Would you have survived life in the Wild West ?

Probably not.

Nothing nutty about this history! An excellent, balanced perspective on Cody. He not only invented the Western as we know it, but he also invented Americana - how the rest of the world still sees the US today - and to some extent, how the US sees itself - that Western/pioneer spirit. I especially appreciate your noting his treatment of the Native community. Cody was loved by them; the only thing he demanded of them was that the kids learn to read and write. He was on his way to protect Sitting Bull while he was being moved to a new reservation, but he was murdered before Cody got there. His entire life was boom and bust money-wise, but what finally left him broke was his effort to make a movie shortly before he died. You could be a series of videos on the many amazing chapters in his life. He became the theatrical version of himself - I don't think he could tell the legend from the truth by the time he was done. Ned Buntline is another great topic for a video - that guy was WILD! Annie Oakley was amazing, too - she trained a troop of female sharpshooters to serve in WWI, but she couldn't convince the State Dept!

As always happens Texas Jack Omohundro is left out of the history. He was Buffalo Bill's partner and the subject of thousands of dime novel stories. Texas Jack was like Elvis at the height of his fame. He was America's cowboy hero, admired and known coast to coast. Unfortunately, also like Elvis, he died young and because Bill Cody continued on with their show, over time Jack faded into historical oblivion.

@mistervacation23 Год назад

The term "buffalo" was commonly used in the 19th century to refer to the American bison, despite the biological distinction between true buffalo and bison. This usage was prevalent during the time of Buffalo Bill's prominence, and he himself preferred the name "Buffalo Bill" rather than "Bison Bill." Consequently, the name "Buffalo Bill" has become synonymous with his legacy and is deeply rooted in history and popular culture

He sounds like a really impressive person for his time. If the shows had portrayed a different view of reality, they would not have been successful and we would not know who he was today.

@pokeybear1274 Год назад

This was really a great presentation! The only thing I would say otherwise is that I have read that the Pony Express was phased out because of the telegraph finally reaching from East to West in 1862, not because of the railroad. I really liked this video, thanks.

@rockypikmin4493 9 месяцев назад

Well the pony riders could've carried more than just letters. I'm not educated on the subject but this is what my common sense is telling me

@doesthepuzzle 8 месяцев назад

I think the government subsidizing Wells Fargo had more to do with it than anything. Even providing the exceptional service of carrying small thin letters almost 2,000 miles in ten days couldn't compete. I read that the Horse Express (as they were know at the time) lost money on every letter they carried.

@austinitesince1979 Год назад

for a bit of historical clarity...a combination of making bison hides commercially viable for around $3 a hide with a new .50 Sharps rifle created a devastating effect. several native tribes Comanche, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Arapaho banded together and attacked the hunters' fort at the Second Battle of Adobe Walls to stop the decimation, but having a large stockpile of ammo and weapons and a "lucky" 1500 yard shot of Billy Dixon that hit a medicine chief on the hill caused the hundreds strong force to retreat from 28 armed hunters, and over 4 million bison were slaughtered for cash until there were barely a few hundred left of what once used to be described a "sea of buffalo that filled the horizon". one could posit a theory that killing of the buffalo was intentionally done to purposely destroy the way of life of the high plains native americans. Custer and the breaking of the treaty of 1868 (promising not to go West of the Mississippi) happened because gold was found in South Dakota

@Dsdcain Год назад

The destruction of the plains Indian's/native American's way of life *was* the reason that buffaloes were hunted almost to extinction. Some US general even said as much to someone. I wish I could remember where I heard that. They knew exactly what they were doing. Fun fact: It was a major big game hunter who was responsible for preserving the buffalo and creating Amerca's national parks. It was Theodore Roosevelt who created the national park system. He was also quite active in conservation efforts.

Buffalo Bill never worked for the Pony Express. He was not an orphan. You couldn't become part of the Express if you had living parents.

@kenlodge3399 9 месяцев назад

Word has it that it was the telegraph that put the Pony Express out of business versus the Rail Road. Now most folks knows the continental Rail Road wasn't completed until 1869 at Promontory, UT. The PE only ran for about a year, ~1859-60. Though the telegraph had been invented by then and w3as being utilized all over the civilized portions of the USA it truly seems doubtful they were able to construct a telegraph line from Missouri clear thru to California, but if you look it up that's what it'll tell ya. The Telegraph line replaced the PE 19 months after the PE got started.

@BobbiSkankanos Год назад

How am I supposed to believe this at all when the narrator erroneously says that the pony Express continued until somebody invented the train!? Setting the side. The fact that this is supposed to be a history show and as such should never use a a cent have a sentence in the show that says until somebody invented the train. It should have the name and the person who invented the thing is talking about. The real problem is that no the train was already invented by somebody when the pony express came along and it didn't do the pony Express in. What did the pony Express in was the transcontinental telegraph which is in a graphic in this show in text as the narrator claims it was the the trains that did the pony Express in or rendered it obsolete!

Shame on him killing so many buffalo's for pleasure or not 😎

@rixx46 Год назад

There's no defence of it, but was the nature of the times. No one had any concept of conservation back then and hunting was a way of life, not just a sport. If not Cody, others would have killed them. Other than feeding the railroad workers, it was also done to starve out the Native community and force them onto reservations - much easier to control them when their primary source of food and survival (the meat and the skins) was destroyed.
