No one can say Wyatt Earp was lazy or afraid to take risks, either with gun and badge or trying to make living. Its incredible how many different directions and diverse activities he was involved in. From real estate to frontier lawman to cat houses to movie advisor, Wyatt crammed in more controversy and fame in his 80 years than dozens of people combined. That, I think, is part of his enduring fame and our fascination with his life. Great episode, I learned a few new things as I always do from THG.
To me he was a tryant
Why a tyrant?
Respect & Gratitude Professor!!
More things I hadn't known before. Josephine sure seems like a liberated woman for the times. Thanks ever so much, History Guy!
Greetings from Clay County Missouri!
Great as always!
CONGRATS ON 300K!!!

You have no idea how absolutely thrilled someone has finally enshrined her story. I think there is movie written all over her story, but as to not disrespect her wishes I'd not want the movie made.
That was beautiful and brought to life the lives and times of tombstone...
I used to watch Wyatt Earp on TV in the 60's.
Amazing, as always.
Gosh, i just found u on 8/3/19. And have been watching you for 3 days. Sooo interesting
saw Tombstone a few years ago

My understanding is that the Clancey Brothers had violated the "turn in your guns while in town" rule common in U.S.
"Check them" was the phrase, but it then meant 'hand guns in exchange for a piece of paper we call a Check' "

Regarding 12:17, Eternity Memorial Park is located in Colma, California. In this cemetery are Josephine Sarah Marcus & Wyatt Earp as well as Levi Strauss, the man who became wealthy from his invention of the famous blue denim jeans that won the West.

Great history really interesting
In the late 1960s I occasionally took care of a 96 yo man who was born in California and had worked for Wyatt Earp, mainly with his horse racing in the 1880s
Oh man, I would’ve loved that opportunity. There are so many questions I’d ask the gentleman. Did the man ever remark on Wyatt’s height? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a picture of him wearing his gun belt. It would be interesting to see how he Carried his weapons. Thanks for the post.
I would have loved such an opportunity, as well. Wow, what a treasure trove of info at your disposal.
That would have been in Santa Rosa, CA. Wyatt Earp wasn't a jockey, he was too tall for that. His job was to exercise the horses.
We tend to think of Wyatt Earp and the Wild West as existing a long time ago. But it's interesting to note that he died in a suburban bungalow that had electricity and indoor plumbing. It really wasn't all that long ago.
"It was just yesterday."

You're absolutely right. It's amazing that Josephine Earp was still alive during WWll. People often talk about different times in history that saw a lot of change and this particular period doesn't seem to be mentioned that often. Well, these folks went from Indian wars on horseback to WWll and the atomic bomb. They went from no plumbing or electricity to telephones, airplanes, tanks, television, movies and a whole lot more. The world really changed dramatically from the mid 1800's to the mid 1900's, especially in the US.
The years 1870-1940 were years of radical economic, technological and lifestyle changes. This revolutionary period in human history is analysed in a 2016 book by economist Robert Gordon. I have a great aunt who lived 1876-1966. As a child, the only technologies she enjoyed were the telegraph and steam railroad. She lived to see the world wars, thermonuclear weapons, television, movies with colour as well as sound, and the beginnings of space travel. She mulled over these huge changes in an essay published in the Filson Club Quarterly in 1963.
Rumi900 he died in 1929 and tom micks was there at the funeral. It’s said he wept and wept.
October if 1881 has the shoot out at the OK Corral and in that same month the US. Open golf tournament took place. Followed by the US Tennis Championship. I wonder if any Cheyenne from Little Big Horn watched the golf match.
I live in Arizona and grew up near Superior, AZ. After leaving Wyatt, Mattie Earp eventually ended up in Pinal, AZ. PInal no longer exists but the cemetery does, and it is there that Mattie found her rest.
Thank you for telling us the sound epilogue of Mattie's earthly and wearisome spirit.
SHE'S BEEN MOVED,CAUSE OF TO MANY LOOTER'S LIKE WHATT'S GRAVE..
Very, very good. Very entertaining. Thanks.
I live in Gold Canyon and go to the cemetery quite often. I know that she is not buried in the spot where her marker is, but still feel like she is there. Can you imagine living in the shadow of Picket Post Mountain back then? It is an awesome feeling to be standing there.
So sad that people can't leave these Graves alone and they desecrate the peace of the bodies simply looking for gold teeth and jewelry that was put on the bodies. What a world we live in. Horse if they were Native American Graves there'd be hell to pay.
"On such small hinges does the door to contentment swing" … I like that quote.
I like that quote too
I agree, however the snug bug in a rug comfort of fresh bread and love are also wonderful.
David Lixenberg
You have to have experienced the smell of fresh baked bread to appreciate that comment.
make me happy coming home to fresh bread from the oven YUMYUMYUM
Great quote. It seems that Doc, more than grappled with that sentiment. At least Wyatt found some 'contentment', in his later years.
In a world filled with divisive messages, it is wonderfully refreshing to get a good dose of history that is well presented. You are more than a historian, you are a raconteur of the finest order. Thank you.
Thumbs up for the use of the word "raconteur", not used enough today.
@@oceannavagator But, I thought you could get arrested for raconteuring. (I do know what it means)
@@skydiverclassc2031 Well I do know that back in the day you could get arrested for moping,at least in New York State. It means hanging around a whorehouse. 23 skidoo.
Better a raconteur than a mountebank,no ?
@@paulmanson253 Truly not enough emphasis on language in this internet age. Must be a sign that I'm ready for social security.
@@oceannavagator Not used enough because of the loss of the art of the spoken word.
This is my favorite way to start the day, make my coffee, sit down and hear a neat anecdote for a few minutes and off I go. Thank you History Guy!
RobotSlug agreed.
I'll sip my coffee to that.
Same here.
I guess I am the only one who starts my day by smoking a bowl. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
@@Tsukiko.97 I did when I was younger and less responsible. Now that I have to get things done and my work needs to be 100% from the get go, I don't anymore.
Thanks for remembering the women behind the men of legend.
I agree with you Sharon Hauser. As much as we men like to pretend that it was men who did all of the great things in history. I especially like the fact that Josephine Marcus Earp was of Jewish American decent. Although I am not of Jewish decent, I thank the makers of this video for including her ethnic origins. Jewish and Mexican, American Indians, Mexican American's and Ex slaves built this country and gave their blood and sweat here in this land as well. Women from all over the world came here and also contributed their efforts to make this country prosperous and great. I am grateful to everyone who was not mentioned in this video for their unselfish contributions to our country. Gunfighters are a dime a dozen and will always be such. It is the people which we never read about or see in these videos who are the real hero's of our country. What would we do without women ? I love them all from the lowest to the highest, thank you ladies one and all.
Dax Inventor ~ I also can’t help musing on the ones who just stayed at home having babies, many of which died, (the babies and the wives), while the famous husband was out in the world doing “famous things.” Being a female myself, I’m ever so grateful to live in the world of today, especially in the U.S.A. I hope a Dax id a good thing ~ sorry, duh ~ Sharon
The women had nothing to do with those men becoming legends those men acheived that on their own no where in history did any woman have anything to do with a mans acheivements and Josephine was only the whore that Wyatt had an affair on his wife with then left his wife for seems like that's always the woman's contributions.
@Jeffrey Bone Without your Mom you wouldn't be here to have that opinion.
@@kathleennorton6108 👍👍👍
The history guy. He's deserves to be remembered!
I love this guys channel. Simple, straight forward and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Wyatt Earps's story has always fascinated me because it delineates a point where the old west bleeds into our modern times. Earp lived in the old west and survived to consult on Hollywood movies. Thank you for adding this extra texture to his story and for honoring the memory of Josephine.
Wyatt was well liked by the "cowboy" actors Tom Mix and William S. Hart
Thanks for posting this vlog ‼️ I never knew anything about Josephine other than she and Wyatt were together for many many years! Love your posts - I always learn something new 🤩👏🏻‼️👍
Early Western movie star Tom Mix was a pall bearer in Wyatt Earp's funeral.
My ears may be mistaken, but wasn't he cremated? I think that is what I heard the history guy say.
rdobery Yes, she had Wyatt cremated after the funeral in Los Angeles, and took the urn to Hills of Eternity Cemetery (Jewish) in Colman’s, CA. It is still a tourist destination, but the original marker is not displayed, but a new monument marks Wyatt & Sarah’s grave. You can see photos on FindaGrave.com
I think I heard that Tom rode a horse at FDR's inauguration
"The only second class saloon in Alaska". Gotta love that marketing.
Cannot raise expectations too high.
🤣
That was the name of it, too. "The Second Class Saloon."
I may have a man or 2 in my bloodline who visited upstairs there. We'll never know. My great-grandfather lived in Nome during that time and owned a boat that ran supplies. Dad told me both him and my grandfather, who was young boy then, knew Wyatt Earp.
In Mount Carroll Illinois there is a saloon that markets itself as "Where Intellectuals Foregather."
Poffenberger's Tavern.
“Eastern Beer Only” which is interesting, as well.
Even tho the movie Tombstone, is not completely factually correct, it's still one of my favorites!!
About 75% factual. Better than most movies about Tombstone.
Good pizza too!
Im partial to Wyatt Earp but like tombstone too.
VAL KILMER - KURT RUSSELL AND SAM ELLIOT - OMG - COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!
@@faerieSAALE I KNOW!!! Sexy overload in that one!!
Another great episode H G. You sir are one of a kind ! And I just love the way you explain the little things of the story. Thanks again!
Seconded
One of the most credible sounding Earp accounts I've ever heard.
I live in AZ and went to Tombstone for the first time last year and you get a vibe there that I have never felt before. It is almost like you are walking into the past since the town hasn't changed too much. The Birdcage is so cool, packed with antiques and you can see bullet holes and old wall paper. The stage is so much smaller than I had envisioned. Thank you for todays video as I am obsessed with Wyatt Earp and Josephine. Have a great weekend.
CelitaGW I feel the same way about Tombstone and Cimarron NM. Bullet holes in the ceiling of the hotel sets my imagination on fire. Colorado and South Dakota have similar treasures.
I totally agree with you about the "vibe" thing. I was so impressed that I brought my dad to see it, and he was quite impressed, as well!!
Carlos Carpinteyro I did too. Parents enjoyed both. Toured Tombstone birdcage with both.
The best way to experience Tombstone is to wear boots. There's something about hearing them hit the boardwalk that transports you back in time.
@@danielbass2895 I gotta try that on my next visit to Tombstone.
Absolutely fascinating. Recommend "Mrs Earp: The Wives and Lovers of the Earp Brothers" by Sherry Monahan for an overview of Wyatt's several "wives" as well as his brother's wives. Would very much like the History Guy's perspective on the other wives (brief as the relationships may have been...)
May the memories of the Earp's live long in our minds and books. Great men in great times.
Virgil Earp is buried not far from my home in Portland, Oregon. I commute past the graveyard that contains his remains every day on my way to work.
painmagnet1 and barring the resurrection of the second coming of Christ he’s gonna stay right there
I live in Milwaukie, OR. Where is the graveyard?
in the dead center of town @@drcthru7672
Wow. It's 4 miles from where I live!
I bet he's in the same one that has my grandfather and uncles and the rest of that side of the family. It was an amazing time up there in Oregon at that time when I think that my grandfather was a Rodeo Cowboy that he came to Oregon with no skill other than busting Broncs and raising pinto beans in New Mexico and he went to school to learn how to repair the steam engine trains he had nothing and nobody in the 1920 census in the 1930 census all of a sudden he had a wife with three stepchildren and a baby girl my mom. He never went back to New Mexico because the sheriff there didn't like he and his brothers form of pranks when I think that my grandfather was a rodeo cowboy that he came to Oregon with no school other than busting Broncs and raising pinto beans and he went to school to learn how to repair the steam engine trains he had nothing and nobody in the 1920s census in the 1930s census he has a wife he with 3 step children and a baby girl my mom. He never went back to New Mexico because the sheriff there didn't like he and his brothers form of pranks and had it in for them there were 12 children the first my uncle his stepson just passed away last year + 98 he lived in the same house that was built for them right after the war it was very modern for its time and Immaculate when he died. He can now be at peace with his wife and his family and with pops who made my grandmother feel so safe
Your closing line punches me right in the feels every time. Thank you for all the great content, sir!
Fun fact: John Wayne got Wyatt Erps coffee when working on movie's.
A little more on that - Young Marion Morrison (and Ward Bond) worked moving furnishings and sets in Hollywood to keep in shape for football, which they played together at nearby USC. An old fellow used to hang around the Western movie sets, give advice and claimed to have been a law man in the old days; this was in the 1920's. Wayne said later that the old man was Wyatt Earp, and the things he learned from Wyatt about the old west Wayne incorporated into his characters every time he portrayed a western lawman.

I did not.
Strong woman, did what was needed to survive and truly loved Wyatt, even after his death she protected him. We should all be so lucky.

@Joe Dirt Care to cite your historical sources for that?

@@dataseeker7460 I have!...GOD HAS BLESSED ME!
Fascinating History .. never realised that Wyatt lived till 1929, and Josephine until 1944, three years before I was born!! Loved the story 👍
I am a history nut and just swerved into your channel. It is refreshing to see someone who portrays history as it occurred and not some variation of history that was rewritten by Hollywood. Nice job.
On such small hinges does the door of contentment swing.... poignant and true.✌🏻🇺🇸
When John Wayne was a scenery mover at a Hollywood movie studio he met Wyatt Earp who served as a technical advisor for Western movies.
It is said that John Wayne patterned his movie persona by imitating Wyatt Earp. THE DUKE was actually Wyatt Earp!
Is that true
He met Earp while working props for John Ford.
@@johnwalsh7931
It is indeed. Wayne mentioned it often and said he modeled hiis western personna after Earp, including his walk.
John Wayne was a pretender. Lee Marvin was not. Nothing more needs to be said.
And in just a few short minutes the History Guy presents the life and times of people long gone, but that deserve to be remembered. 👍🏻😉
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for a REAL ACCOUNT of what actually happened to Wyatt Earp & Josephine.
I hated history in school,but in the 7th grade I had a teacher,Mrs.Cox,that could bring things alive through different activities.I loved her and it was the only time I made A+! She had a daughter that was born blind and I thought,later on,if that was the reason she taught like she did,because she wanted to bring things to life for her daughter that couldn't see.
Anyway,I enjoy history now that I'm much older and enjoyed your video!
I absolutely love your videos. Especially the ones about the old west. Well done sir.
There aren't many videos detailing the "women behind the men" in the old West that keep up the interest. This video was one of the exceptions. You did a fantastic job and the information was very informative and interesting. Thank you for a job well done.
History...so little of it taught in schools today. Thank you for creating a place, where, people can come and hear about lives past.🌷🚍
Well-behaved women seldom make history.
Well, they made all the men...
Ataylor That's what she said.
Very funny thread. Much appreciated!
Well-behaved men rarely make history. Very few people actually make history if history is defined as "something remembered outside the immediate family". In any case, the purpose of life isn't to make history.
This was a sad story of a woman who is remembered principally for being the consort of a man involved in a famous gunfight. Did she make wise choices? Did she make choices you would recommend to your own daughter?
Perhaps she did make history in some sense. But at what cost?
Can you imagine what it was like for an independent woman in those days?!
History Guy you are a national treasure!!thanks for sharing Your knowledge and with with us all!!
How I love reading the comments! No trolls.
What about Doc. Holiday is life and times. He is part of AMERICAN west.

Haha yep lol ....

Amazing bit of history. Wyatt Earp happens to be my favorite historical character of the period! Thanks for the great insights!
Jospehine Marcus was my Great Grandfather's cousin. The correct family name is " Marcuis " which is the Lithuanian version of Marx. SO she would not technically be Prussian but Litvak ( Jewish Lithuanian ). For the most part we lived in an area called "Memelland" but are originally from Kaunas and Vilnius. I knew my Great Grand parents, mostly my Great Grand Mother Ona. She spoke Lithuanian (Cursios dialect which is closer to Latvian), Polish, Platt Deutsche, Hoch Deutsche (mostly for reading), some Russian and a little English. She never used Yiddish with me so I don;t know what her knowledge was there.
We were forced to move to East Prussia before and after the period of the 1863 uprising. We already had family in the area. The family business mostly related to making and using glass. I know we supplied clear and stained glass used in the Königsberg Stock Exchange building which still stands. We still have the samples, little glass disks the size of a coin which you hold up to the light to gauge the shade.
Our whole family has a reputation for risky and eccentric behaviour as well being fairly clever. One of our family is said to have convinced the Japanese in 1905 that he was a German who had been pressed into service in the Russian Navy. They released him and he via Hong Kong found his way back to Europe and eventually Konigsberg. Strangely his decedents live in Vladivostok and work for a Japanese owned fishing company.
What a great history of family.
Thank you for sharing.
Damn! Beat me to it! And you went into much greater detail than I could manage! Kudos!
That' a pretty cool story! I looked up the Hills of Eternity Cemetery, and whaddya know? It's about 1/2 hour away from me in the SF Bay Area.
Tamas Marcuis I think we might be related? I do know my Marcus side married into a family named Copeland as in Aaron Copland who is my great, great Uncle or my grandfathers mothers brother.
How interesting, thank you for this
"Who, Behan? He ain't no law. Only real law here's the Cowboys."
I met an Earp Great Grand daughter in high school. My girl friend was her friend who introduced us.
How about this for history, my girl friend was a Doolittle. Her second cousin put together the raid on Tokyo.
20 years later I installed cable in the home of the navigator for the raid.
I long to find a woman like that. A queen to love and grow old with. I guess im just a hopeless romantic
All of a sudden RUclips is much more interesting with my discovery of The History Guy. Must share this gem!
Even The History Guy was shadow banned and had a Wikipedia disclaimer on one of his History That Needs Remembered episodes . . . .
Terrific research, Wonderful work, you bring history to “life”! So greatly appreciated👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😃
The photo at 5:45 is most definitely not of Josephine Earp. It's a photo titled "kaloma" from the early 1900's. Josephine Earp wouldve been in her 50s when it was taken.
Quite true. "The History Guy" cuts some corners from time to time.
Interesting to hear the other half of a famous couple. Thanks for that.
Interesting topic. Thanks for this small slice of the American West.
That was really good!! I’m glad this popped up in my feed!!!
I really appreciate this education on someone i knew little of...Thank You

Wichita Kansas is very proud of their history when Wyatt Earp is concerned, and so is Dodge City.
I wouldn't mind hearing your take on Etta Place.
LOVED the story of Josephine Marcus & Wyatt Earp- - just wish it was So much longer!! Thank You...
Ok. You've written an episode that I didn't find interesting. I haven't _found_ that one yet, but I'm sure you _must_ have put one out that I won't enjoy. ;-)
This definitely puts a new light on the events at the OK Corral and the life of Wyatt Earp. A nice start of the morning.
3 items - 1) *CONGRATS on hitting 300K subscribers! * 2) I looked up the Hills of Eternity Cemetery, and was surprised to see it's only about 1/2 hour away from me in the SF Bay Area. So, one of these days, with camera in hand... 3) Every time I hear or read about Tombstone or Wyatt Earp, I can't help but remember an old TV show I saw as a kid in 1968, none other than "Spectre of the Gun" from the original Star Trek series.
Outstanding ! There will always be speculation in a biographers ink.
So sad, brings tears to my eyes. :( A love story that stayed through good and bad times,,and I hope God smiles upon them both.
They packed a lot of living in their short lives
Great episode. To think that these two spanned the Wild West, the Gold Rushes and 2 world world wars ending up side by side is mind boggling. I also appreciate your research to bring these stories to us Sir! Thank you 😊
If you mean Wyatt he went through the gold rush and WW1. WW2 started in 1939 Wyatt Earp died 1929.
Outstanding! 📜
The legendary law man Wyatt Earp died in Los Angeles in 1929 whereas Josephine Marcus his wife died in 1944
Wyatt Earp everyone knows was involved in the shoot out with Mclaurys and the Clantons at the OK.Corral in October 1881.Also involved were Doc Holliday and Morgan Earp.
Awesome thanks so much! Your Chanel by far is my favorite! Thank You!!
I live near Tombstone and to this day it is one of my favorite places to visit. Thank you for this historical minute.
Thanks for the history lesson. I really enjoy your videos. Have you ever heard of the daring escape from Corregidor in WW2? My Grandfather’s brother Glen Swisher was one of 18 sailors of the USS Quail that escaped to Australia. Their Skipper even wrote a book about it “South from Corrigedor”. Would be great to have you talk about it one day.
It would be great to do a multi-part report on the entire 1941-2 Philippines campaign and the largest ordered surrender by US military forces. For that matter, the POW experience is not well documented or known in the US. I say this as a son of a survivor of both Bataan and the Mukden prison camp.
Much in history is most worthy and
Good to look at time and again!
I would love to see a piece on the many successes and failures of Thomas Edison that would be a great topic to review from history.
BTW.. I never knew all those details about Wyatt Earp... kool.
Thomas Edison was a charlatan and cheated Tesla...I have nothing but complete disdain for him.
I was happy to see this video published by The History Guy! I've read most if the history books I've been able to find on Wyatt Earp and the history of his time in Tuscon and beyound.
Thanks for posting this video Histiry guy!
The photo of the camp tent was near their mine across the Colorado River from Parker, Az., in Earp, CA., named in 1929. For a time they resided in a hotel in Parker, Arizona, overlooking the Colorado River. The photo of them sitting to be together as I recall is in their wood frame winter home in the desert, approximately 15 miles west of the Colorado River.
It was a town called Calzona,about 15 miles south of current day Parker. My friend owns their house that Wyatt had moved 7 miles UP RIVER and it is now a historic place in Vidal,Ca. Josie loved the house and Wyatt had it moved to be closer to his mine,which is approx. 4 miles west of said parcel,as the crow flies.
Earp, Ca was named for Wyatts family, not himself.

It's amazing how often they moved, especially in a time when travel was not easy... Pella IA to Wichita KS, then to Dodge City KS, then to Tombstone AZ, then to San Francisco CA, then to Eagle City ID, then to San Diego CA, back again to San Francisco, then to Yuma AZ, on to Nome AK, then to Tonopah NV and finally to Los Angeles.
For me in France, it's more when I stop for lunch; great stuff...cheers...rr
Your last comment concerning Josephine's relationships with the leaders of both sides in tombstone, made her reminiscent of and reminded me of Emma of Normandy (985-1052) who was married to the Saxon king of England Aethred the Unready. Then after the invasion, was married to the Viking king of England Harthacnut. To add to her story, first her Viking son became king of England, followed by her Saxon son, Edward the Confessor. and finally, when Edward died, it was Emma's grandnephew, William the Conqueror who sat upon the English throne. If you haven't already done so, perhaps an episode on Emma, possibly the fulcrum upon which England was levered out of the throes of its Medieval and Viking past into a French and Continental trajectory. Before Emma, England faced North towards the Scandinavian world, after Emma England faced East towards France.
Thank you again for such a wonderful informative video.
Buenas historias pero deben traducir también en Español. Muchos latinos nos encantaría saber estas buenas historias. Saludos desde Panamá
Director John Ford knew the Earps well and spoke fondly of them both. Nice tribute !
I read that the gunfight in “My Darling Clementine,” was done as Earp described it to John Ford.
too bad he didn't use Earp's material, which he chose not to do. And - - - it would have been nice if he would have thought to film his interviews with Earp, which he didn't do either. He just kept that to himself, for some unknown reason. I know this is a year old, but had to chime in.
Well said...! 🕊🙏🏻😎 this was really good 👍🏻thank you for sharing 💃🏼
This is now my favorite episode of The History Guy. The details provided illuminate one of my favorite movies, "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp. Because I am also a fan of Dana Delaney (she played Josephine in the movie), this episode resonates strongly. As for the movie, no adult thinks it's a documentary (LOL)> But there must have been some effort made at plausibility because the actor who played Sheriff Behan (with just the right makeup) really looks like the real Sheriff Beehan. Thanks - I give this episode five stars.
Dana Delaney --- SIGH!!!!
It has been a joy to watch all your episodes are very informing. The only thing I wish you would do is proofread what you say because there are many Miss spellings and the wrong words put there in the script. This is not a complaint just an observation. Thank you so much for your series. Keep up the good work for many more years to come. This country needs more people like you the tell the truth. to me you will go down in history as a great auditor of little known and forgotten history in the world. So say I, Moses of Englewood Chicago.
Though I always enjoy your historical "snippets", this particular one touched me. Thank you.
Why would they think she was incorrect, wouldn’t she know? It was Her birthday!
I throughly enjoyed this and will be looking forward to seeing more.
I would like to correct my comments at this point and give complete consideration to the memory of John Henry Holiday, i.e., established dentist and purveyor of law and order........with some minor characters flaws.
RobotSlug i most certainly agree about the way to start the day. I got up an hour early to catch THG while my wife and dogs still slumber. Sounds like a chain saw that's out of gas in the bedroom.
You shouldn't call your children that
What do you sound like when asleep Rolling thunder?
So that means they experienced World War I of 1919. Hm?! They saw lots of progress too quick, the light bulb, electric trains, telegraph, I think the car, the airplane...I rhink! hm! It most have been shocking!
Beautiful narrative....
I'm so very glad you told this story. -Freda 💛

Wasn’t it so surprisingly relatable to life now when Wyatt Earp spoke about how the times and the people were changing so much and how things that had been quite acceptable earlier in his life were now becoming either frowned upon, completely unacceptable or even illegal? I think that probably happens to every generation, at least to some extent. There are many things that were perfectly acceptable when I was growing up (late 60’s-1980’s) that you would either be shunned (or a viral shaming perhaps?)or thrown in jail for now.
interesting ..thank you.. i had heard of Maddie, but not of Josephine
Mr_Wizard You must see the movie, “Tombstone.” Dana Delaney plays Josephine...perfectly!
