I had my grandmother in my life for 40 years. When she died in 1993 she had 7 children, 47 grandchildren. Her first memory was travelling by 2 wheeled cart in Ireland to a ship to come to Canada as a 6 year old in 1910. She lived in a sod hut through the First World War, lost two siblings in the 1919 flu epidemic, married at 16 when she first rode in an automobile, saw her first plane in the 20's when it landed in Granpa's pasture, got their first truck in the 30's to transport livestock, sent two sons and a daughter off to war in the 40's, had her first child in 1922, her last in 1950, had her first plane ride in the 60's, watched the moon landing in 1969 with a dozen grandchildren around her and travelled to several continents in retirement. She saw more changes in her 89 years than any other generation, some due to two world wars. Her first letter home to Ireland took six weeks to arrive by ship. At the end of her life she was using email. Amazing woman who lived through amazing times.
Like my grandparents, lived through the advent or radio, the first ww, silent movies to talkies, ww2 and the birth of Antibiotics, the start of television, nuclear energy, jet travel, moon landings, mobile phones the home computer. So much history and innovation, dizzying!
Rogan saying this had no 'fucking with the truth' must of been so overwhelmed or yeehaw biased that he missed out on the blatant political and over the top patriotic overtures that made this otherwise decent series cringe as fuck.
My great great grandfather immigrated from Spain and was granted a porcion here in Texas. 12,600+ acres along the Rio Grande River. The things that my grandpa has told me about how life was back then pretty much matched up to 1883. It was an awesome show! Thank you, sir!
My great-great grandfather came from Germany with his brother to be “Cowboys” on the Great Plains of the Nebraska territory in 1881. They were granted 100 acres of land with the conditions that they would plant 10 trees, build a home and stay on the land for 10 years. 143 years later and family still has the land.
agreed, and it’s subtle but it explains why the ranch is called yellow stone. They call her the one with the yellow hair and that’s where her tombstone is.
Taylor Sheridan is an AMAZING WRITER. If you havent seen "Hell or High Water" or "Wind River" they are both MUST SEE movies. Dude is beyond talented. Award worthy without a doubt.
Every episode of 1883 felt like a movie to me. But not in the typical Hollywood movie type of way. Slow pacing, clever, incredible scenery and characters. Loved every minute of it
Agree totally. My wife missed an episode one night and asked me what happened, and I was like..."Well, not much because they just kinda carried on with the moving west on this one, but DAMN it was SO good!" 😆
As an IRISH man I can assure you there was never a famine in Ireland, where was plenty of food but the British kept shipping it to England, it was genocide plane and simple
My great grandfather wrote a book called, From Wagon Wheels to Rocket Ships. It's was about his life growing up coming across the plains, and then watching rockets launch into space as an older man.
I'm 71. I've never really thought about the fact that my great grandparents were pawns to our U.S. government because they too were some of those who immigrated from Germany, and England, and settled land in our mid-west. I've put together our family tree through 'Ancestry' and discovered that some of my far-distant relatives were kidnapped and killed by natives. What a country!
There were immigration 'agents' in each of the hub cities which connected people with jobs and opportunities. My own family came over as a few brothers with nothing from Sweden circa 1870 and within months were railroad workers in Missouri and within a year had the money to bring over their entire families and buy land. The family created their own town in SE MO.
1883 was one of only stories that captured what my great-grandfather and his uncles lived for. The heart. Soul. Incredible. There’s a passion about land that not everybody understands; thank you Taylor.
1883 was VERY emotional and I was rather shocked at how good it was (just finished watching it last week). I expected it to be just another version of Yellowstone but it was so much more than that. Job well done.
1883 was terrible what the hell are you talking about, all the immigrants died, all the antagonists that attacked the wagon trains were whites which is completely inaccurate, and the only time they showed native savagery was in result of white killing them, plus elsa dutton is annoying character and a mary sue
"1883" is probably one of my Top 5 favorite shows of all time. I love "Yellowstone," too, but I'm pretty pissed about how long it's taken to get going again with all the Costner drama. "1923" is also awesome, though I think they spent a little too much time on the Spencer quest. I hope Taylor keeps going with this universe. It's really great. But "1883" is by far his Magnum Opus. It's basically movie-grade quality wrapped up into a TV show.
I love every Sheridan movie and TV show that I have seen. But when I see Taylor Sheridan talking in person in an interview it never fails to give me Douchebumps up and down my arms.
Pride comes before the fall"tulsa king".imagine being Kevin costner and having the new duche on the block try and treat you like the help..I've been on some of the biggest shows and seen them come and go..I do like his work though...
I remember talking to my grandparents and learning more about the great depression than from all the history books in public school . They were born 1909,1911 and experienced more than most ever could . My parents where born in the thirties . Me in the sixties . I used to think my great-grandfather was a mean person. Then I stopped and thought about what he went through in the 1800's when times were harder , you had to be harder . Respect to the ones that tamed this country , only to have it so messed up by the government sworn to serve us and protect the constitution as rule .
My grandma barely survived the depression and was one of the kindest person I’ve ever met, but the only time she was “mean” when I was a kid was when she was comparing her generation to mine. She once flat out said “you weaklings wouldn’t last a day”- like out of nowhere. We believed her.
I've loved country music for 48 yrs & I'm 48 yrs old!! VERY into 90s country!! WELL AWARE that they're married and I found myself completely forgetting they are who they are by the last episode!! Their acting transcends how good they think they are!!! Just fantastic!! Thank you Tim & Faith!!! ❤❤❤
I just started watching Yellowstone, My sister had highly recommended it. I'm hooked now. Great writing and acting, amazing. Rip is my favorite character. 1883 is next on my list. Thank you its great to see an exceptional western show. God bless.
God bless you to everyone that replied to these texts. I am in awe to everyone who composes such heart rendering posts to this response. My great-grand parents came over from England 200 years ago, however, I feel sympathy for love for our Americans who came from all over the world and it so fascinating to read about this most intriguing life!!!!!!!!! Jeanne KC MO heartland of America now but began in New York from a Captain in the Revolutionary War.
Yep! I'm a retired registered land surveyor in Colorado. Back in the day, I went to school in DeKalb, Illinois where they invented barbed wire. The high school team are the "Barbs" and the local bank had a display of all the different barbed wire designs. Changed the West for sure.
Love finding barbed wire sticking out of each side of a tree that has completely swallowed it. Goes to show how much time has an effect on boundary evidence and that any little thing can make a world of difference in finding that line/corner.
@edwardpotter5212 on the opposite side of that (while your are curiously thinking) it shows alot about nature. How everything can and eventually return to nature.
I don’t say this lightly but 1883 is one of the best shows/series I have ever seen. The writing, directing, cinematography and acting are absolutely incredible. Thank you sir for giving this to us.
I'm 70 and the only movie that I have seen to even compare to 1883 would be The Godfather. If it was a choice of which movie could exist in this world, I'd choose 1883.
Mr. Sheridan is the man, and the Yellowstone show and it's spin offs are the best shows ever, and these are the kind of shows we need today, God bless him, and i can't wait to see much more of those. Shout out from Brasil.
I'm from NYC. My late wife was born in 1942 in a covered wagon in SE Nebraska. No electricity, no running water, no indoor plumbing. The few faded black & white pictures from her youth were incredible. What a story they and she told. She had a pony at age 5 and rode until her early 70's. Not the same pony. ;) Thanks Taylor, you've a new formulaic. Looking forward to the 1883 series.
@@chuckleezodiac24 “right wingers” . Clown. People are more complex than your silly binary political categories. Sheridan makes solid traditional stories that a variety of people can relate to. He uses universal themes not radical post modern garbage that’s attractive to a tiny minority. Disney and others have moved in this radical and childish direction and they are losing their audience and BILLIONS of dollars.
People need to see Wind River. That movie hits hard, and when I first was made aware of Taylor Sheridan. It is a story that portrays a harsh life, harsh circumstances and the willingness to endure despite it all. Everything that Yellowstone and the subsequent other series became, but, for me, this movie is the antecedent for it all (made 2017). One can rest assured that the actors knew they were onto something big with Sheridan as practically every actor in the movie is a Yellowstone fixture. When you enjoy the work, its meaningful and you enjoy your colleagues- why change it up. Sheridan is no fool, and a hell of a story teller who knows what he wants and who can implement it. You'll get new respect for Jeremy Renner as an actor watching Wind River too. Gil Birmingham and Renner kill their scenes.
I'm British. 1883 is a work of art. Isabel May as Elsa Dutton was incredible, as were T McGraw and F Hill. Sam Elliot brought his A game, as did the entire cast. Joe is correct. We have seen too much cowboy v Indian type movies. This refection of reality shown in 1883 is different class and I hope to see a lot more period pieces.
YES, Hostiles and 1883 are my two actual favourite westerns of all time (next toe Red Dead Redemption 2, which is a video game, but still)@@dixonhill1108
@@jamesj9744fan desperation. I get it but fans have to understand it’s done and move on from it. I know another show is set sometime after 1923, forgot if the info was right on Matthew macon (don’t know how to properly spell his last name so I call him that) will be the lead actor in that show.
The other one he did (1920’s something) wasn’t nearly as good…I think the cast of 1883 had a lot to do with that though. Oh and it’s got freaking Sam Elliott as the wagon trail boss, 1883 is damn near perfect
1883, easily the best series EVER! I've watched it at least 4 times, maybe 5 counting last week. So historically accurate, makes it even more compelling. Throw in superb cameos from Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Hanks, combined with powerfully talented supporting cast, written by Taylor Sheridan who wrote Hell or High Water, no wonder. Best of all, it is so much more than a great story because it is OUR great story!
@@mynextcartobuyso that’s 3 hours along with perhaps a 20 min set a night if he gets up on stage at his club. Then an hour for working out everyday. This equals close to 5 hours. He has plenty of time to watch a show or shoot a bow. I work 12 hours a day and still have time to watch a show as I lay in bed, ready to do it all again the next day. Plus, I don’t understand why you mentioned his net worth. Has nothing to do with anything.
@@radioguy801 In your logic, 1883 should be the only thing ever existed Joe doing, let alone having a family. Do you have 3 kids? Wife? Comedy club to run?
@@supernotnatural You’re silly, he doesn’t run that club. He said it himself that he poached the entire staff from California during the pandemic. He just funds it and has a great time performing, helping others get stage time and hanging out with friends.
Empire of the Summer Moon is a fantastic book. I read it and a few books on Cynthia Ann Parker and Quanah Parker a few years ago. The Comanche were incredible people. I am honored to have known Quannah Parker's great-grandson, Ron as a friend. He shared so much history with me. He was a wonderful human being. This is a fantastic interview.
It's so rare when the spinoffs are so much better than the original series. I couldn't get past 1st season of Yellowstone because it lacks positive likeable characters. But 1883 and 1923 got me hooked. The music, the storytelling, the acting, everything is perfect!
I think the fact there aren't many "positive" characters in Yellowstone is pretty apropos for modern society, especially if you understand the concepts in the book The Fourth Turning. I don't know if Sheridan was influenced by that book in writing his shows, but the idea that hard times make tough men, tough men make good times, good times make soft men, and soft men make hard times seems to be a theme that runs through the veins of his shows.
I really enjoy Sheridan’s historical fiction shows. My maternal grandfather’s family moved to what is now South Dakota in the late 1870s. His father was a US Marshall and was given land to farm as part of his compensation. His double cousins’ father was also granted a homestead and began raising and selling horses. Like the characters in Sheridan’s fictional stories, my grandfather and his cousins lost siblings to scarlet fever. His older brother died from it and my grandfather became severely hearing impaired. His cousins lost two sisters. These cousins were older than my grandfather and they actually got to know Sitting Bull! The farm in South Dakota my mother inherited remained in the family until 1963. I still have cousins in South Dakota living on the ranch homesteaded in the late 1870s. In a way my kinfolk lived a parallel storyline, to the stories of Taylor Sheridan! My grandfather became a pioneering orthodontist and two of his older cousins became physicians and settled in Beverly Hills, California.
The tension in the climax was insane, and how the flashback made you absolutely despise that crew. And then Renner and Gil sitting quietly at the end, so heartbreaking
Forgot about his current role of the Kool-aid Man! The paint has stained his skin! I love him but damn whats up with dudes being so RED in their fourties/fifteys?
What a great writer. Sicario, Yellowstone, and 1883 were really solid. I loved Wind River and especially Hell or High Water. Very prolific too, so many series he created in just the past 6 years.
I grew up in East Idaho near Fort Hall where there were signs everywhere in town and on the highway marking Goodale’s Cutoff. And massacre rocks state park, etc. I grew up there and took the history for granted. It wasn’t until I moved out east in the Army and read some history about the westward expansion that realized how amazing it was that I grew up where so many wagon trains passed by just 150 years earlier.
Heck yeah Ron Paul delivered me at Brazzos hospital West of Houston. He was an Airforce Physician , and happened to be on duty on june 1 1972. * Texas Strong!
The people that came over from Europe werent the rich land owners, they were the serfs. Which is why when I went to Poland a few years ago for the first time and my mom asked me if I felt any kind of kindred spirit it was like, nope not even a little, I have nothing in common with those people and never did. I owe alot to my ancestors that had the courage to do everything that they did that allowed me to even exist.
It depends when and from where. Since you mentioned Poland, pre 1866 it were mostly nobles(albeit most really poor) from failed uprisings, and jews. 1890-1920 it were mostly poor people from villages, but not really serfs since serfdom was abolished in 1861.
That's interesting being greatful to ancestors for your existence. I never asked to be here in this purgatory. But maybe i did? We can never know. I do know one thing: FTW.
I watched 1883 it was a masterpiece and this is coming from someone who values the history of the old West and the post Civil War just as much as Taylor Sheridan does.
Oregon gave Free land away before December 1, 1850. So the title 1883 is BS. Plus Sam Elliott’s character that told the future settlers to get rid of their ox and get horses was also BS. Oxen were used because they were stronger to pull the wagon’s and they didn’t need as much water. I found the ending really weird that after all that drama with the cattle they let the cattle go even though they still had miles to travel before they got to Oregon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible writing, cast, direction. Awesome guy! We are so lucky to be living in this time. We are SO spoiled, count ALL you're blessings! Very GRATEFUL. 😊❤🇺🇸
@@BILLYBAGADONUTS they left 1923 unfinished also. i wish paramount would fund finishing these shows, its frustrating to get hooked and then it just ends in the middle.
Check out your local history/heritage center. If it's like mine they'll have a little log cabin no bigger than a garden shed. They'd fit families of ten in those fuckers. They did endure a lot for us. Let's never forget them
@@2x2is22 My 5X great grandfathers house is still being lived in by members of my family. My dad lived in that house until he was 10 years old. It's not a very big house for sure. And he was one of the more wealthy people in the area. I know a lot about my families history. Seeing it represented in film was amazing.
I wish they would do a show on Billy Bob Thorton's character, Jim Courtright, from the second episode of 1883. His line "There's only one killer in Fort Worth, and that's me," is cold as fuck.
That whole scene is incredible. Probably the only other thing in his work that stands up to it are the “This won’t even make the local news” and the “You are not a wolf” scenes from Sicario.
This really was and is a show I’d recommend EVERY American watch!! In the 80’s and early 90’s we played “Oregon Trail,” and we were taught “manifest destiny” To go from “sea to shining sea.” The movie “Far and Away” *touches* - just barely- upon what was happening at that time. But 1883 REALLY caught my attention and captured for me a time and a place I had never really given much thought to before. People joke about the “Donner Party” but when you hear about these stories, I’m quite surprised there weren’t many more Donner parties. Maybe there was, but their names are lost to history,along with the thousands who died while risking EVERYTHING to head out west.
Lonesome Dove would be a better choice. I think some of the elements in 1883 are completely fictional or are exaggerated. The Catholic church doesn't come off looking great. This will bother some American Catholics. It bothers me, but then again I cannot stand Yellowstone. That show is the biggest right-wing Trumpster wet dream ever. Every wanna be tough guy horse's ass loves Yellowstone.
Im happy to hear these men talk about something ive been thinking about for the past 10 years actually. Such a short span of time has passed with so much progress.
I'm from South Africa and I can totally relate, my ancestors from my grandfather's side where immensely instrumental in the movement of people this country and it was just 100-170 odd years ago and now we are all scattered throughout South Africa. My great grandmother on my mom's side who is still alive and she was a child when we were using pounds and when coach built cars was a thing
It’s wasn’t Galveston and Austin, it was Linnville after sacking Victoria. It wasn’t Peta Nocona, it was Buffalo Hump. This was known as the Great Raid of 1840. This was a result of the Council House fight in San Antonio, and it precipitated the Battle of Plum Creek. Damn… I hate it when people get Texas history incorrect, these facts and dates and names matter. Come on Joe, let me on the show.. let’s talk Texas history. Lol
I’m jealous. My great great grandparents settled in the bitterroot valley of Montana around 1888. I’m doing ancestry and wish I could time travel to meet them. 😝
When I was a small child there was an old man living next door who was born around 1890. Around 1989 I met and had a brief conversation with a 101 year old woman.
5th generation Nebraskan. Family came over from Germany during 1800s and settle out in bfn Nebraska. Love this show, has given me so much pride to be a rural American.
Taylor "And that's why I created Yellowstone" Joe "Have you heard of the Yellowstone Caldera?" Taylor "What? No. I just meant...." Joe "Jamie, pull up the Yellowstone Supervolcano that will destroy the planet for Taylor, please"
Taylor has one of the best comeback stories in Hollywood. While on SofA, he was playing the Deputy and the WORST casting of the show was the cartoonish Sheriff. Taylor was going to replace the Sheriff. This is a better role! When his agent went to renegotiate for the Sheriff role, Kurt Sutter was like, "Nah, same pay." The agent played some hard ball like "I've got actors on Cartoon Network who get paid more than Taylor does. You gotta bump up the pay for the Sheriff role." Kurt's like, "Nah. And you know what? I don't like your attitude." The agent responds, Ok, hold on a second..." Kurt: Nah, you're pissing me off. So, Instead of UPGRADING Taylor on the show. Now, we're going to KILL HIM OFF!" If this happens to you as an Actor in Hollywood, your agent HAS F'D UP BIG TIME. He was on the coolest show at the time and now he's OFF. Insane! But like an absolute BOSS, he becomes THE go to Writer-Director and put Sutter to shame. Incredible resilience
I really liked it but it was more of an 8/`0 for me. I never like when the first episode of anything shows the fate of the main character and being a mini series made Elsa's character arc feel very rushed.
@@barryallen3555cause he’s not a well known actor and 2 fast is an old movie so it’s not something your average guy would associate him with. See how I talked to you like a child it’s cause you ask questions like one.
He has got to be the most talented guy in television. Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King are all fantastic. Very different but equally superb. I dont hear about him getting accolades or mentioned so much though
Not many people would've been taking the Oregon trail by 1883 and even for those that did by that point, it would have been so well traversed that it wouldn't have been nearly as dangerous as the show made it out to be by that point. The show made it seem like they were crossing in 1843 not 1883.
My wife's family took the Oregon trail with 13 kids. My great great grandfather came from England to be a lumber jack in 1860. They buried wives and children and kept going. It's crazy how tough those pioneers were.
Loved this broadcast. All of it and I have really enjoyed Taylor's shows. I wish our youth were exposed to a sliver of the history that was discussed here. Agree, the great comedians and movies that were classics could not be made today. During the discussion of the ATF debacle at the Waco commune (weird, Taylor's Uncle is why the kids were let go- I remember seeing footage on the news) I started watching the documentary Wild Wild Country. Mind boggling what things lead to following the guy but only on the first three episodes. How they took over the small town of Antelope, took over the vote (how, many of them were not UA citizens, renamed the town and the streets and converted the city park to a place for nude sunbathing was wild. Dang, that could happen again in any situation where a geological location is swamped with foreign interests.
Hi Joe...love your show. Taylor I've watched everything and can't wait for the next seasons. You are an incredible writer and storyteller. Thank you for all you've done and please keep doing it. Catherine from Toronto.
There has never been a show that I went from loving and being fully engrossed by, to literally hating every character and being unable to finish the season like Yellowstone. The final season has to be on of the biggest tank jobs I've ever seen for a show and I watched both LOST and Heroes back in the day!
I lost interest a long time ago, the ideas are good. The writing is dog shyte. He found a market for cowboy shows appealing to the country folk. His shows are bad dude let's be honest but he's going to make 20 more because it's easy money from the female viewers.
@@BruceThePugDogthank you for saying it. I was watching Bass Reeves.. and I was wondering : why is EVERY “western” doing the weird sepia paper style into? Oh and it’s cause of this guy. 1883 was… ok but it for sure turned into this weird torture born by the end.. 1923.. I didn’t even bother with since the math doesn’t add up Like.. sorry not everyone can be Larry McMurtry 🤷🏽♂️. But I’d love to see another one. I just don’t think this is it
Because having your own land was the ultimate dream for Irish people. There was no opportunity in Ireland, just despair and hunger for most. Your own land means your own rules, AND the irish were desperate. Survival mode
