  • Dive into a treasure trove of high-quality photos showing real life in the Old West.
    Welcome to our journey back in time as we explore 38 incredible real-life photos of the American Old West all taken before 1900. This video is a treasure trove of historical moments, capturing the raw essence of a bygone era.
    Imagine the daring spirit of the pioneers and settlers who ventured across the Great Plains, seeking new beginnings. We'll see the majestic mountains that stood as silent witnesses to this era of exploration and the railroad towns and outposts that sprang up along the way.
    Get ready to be transported to the heart of gold mining activities and gold rush towns, where dreams were made and often shattered. We'll glimpse into the future ghost towns, once thriving but now whispers of the past.
    Our journey will take us through sod houses that sheltered resilient families, stagecoaches and covered wagons that traversed the canyons and canyonlands, and horse trails that wound through mountain summits and passes.
    Experience the exhilaration of the explorers, riding alongside horses and cattle, and witness the rise and fall of boomtowns.
    This video is more than a collection of old west photos; it's a vibrant tapestry of American history, filled with stories of struggle, survival, and the indomitable human spirit.
    So, sit back, relax, and let's embark on this remarkable visual journey through the Wild West, a chapter of American history that continues to captivate and inspire.

    WOW, I LIVED IN THE BLACK HILLS FOR A FEW YEARS, 2004 Time frame. Recognize a few of these places, still have a DEEP love for that area, but being from Michigan most of my life, I came back because I missed the water. GREAT PRESENTATION!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

    All I can say is I belong back in those times.......a longing like no other. I wonder where I was on the map in my past life. Wherever it was I was mighty happy. Thanks for the look back my friend.

    Notice there was no bodily comfort in the Old West. You had to be a rugged person to make it back then. Just loved the wonderful pics, watching as I set from the comfort of my couch!

    One of your bests yet. There was no room for wokeness in this era. It was eat or be eaten. Day to day survival was harsh enough.
    Thank goodness for continual technical progress of the west. Even just 30 years later, technological revolution in the early 20th century vastly improved people's lives.

    I've heard the first two songs watching pro rodeo wrecks.
    I like pictures like this, because people have all but forgotten just how brutal life was when the country was expanding. Countless souls dead and forgotten on those wide expanses of territory. Disease swept them away so often, it became seen as an everyday occurrence. There were no roads for a very long time, only native, wagon or prospector trails. It was vicious, violent, savage and heartbreaking.
    Thank you all, who came here before me. My life is a paradise compared to the hell you endured in pursuit of freedom and hopefully a better life.

      @user-fv5ms4sz8e That's one way to look at it. Life was also beautiful unspoiled country, fresh air, clean sparkling water and the freedom of the wide open spaces. If life was too rough on the high plains go back East the big cities in the northeast had all the comforts and conveniences.

      ​@@rtflone My observation was in appreciation for the many sacrifices made, not anything else.
      How do you even participate in memorial day? Do you go to the memorials or graveyards and go, "Yeah, they died horrible deaths, but they had a good time before they laid down their lives for freedom?" What a ridiculous and heartless thing you said about my comment.

    I LOVE all the Indian photos. They are such beautiful people their facial features are just so beautiful to me. Can anyone imagine LIVING in a wigwam? Now that's minimalist living! Ha ha ha And the old timey sod schoolhouse? Ha ha or the Horse and buggy drawn Wells Fargo? The man sitting in the back with a riffle across his lap? This was really fun. Thank you.

    I have to say Wonderful pictures of the Old West , Allways been interested in the Western Days of Old . I did feel sorry a bit for horses with Stagecoach? We what the Western on T V , ON average 6 peaple riding, six horses, In those days I've counted fifteen peaple? Four Horses, Anyway, I love my Westerners, I would have loved to live in those Times, The Trouble is how long ?

    In Mark Twains book Roughing It, he wrote about he and his brother traveling to Colorado. They strung their hammocks up inside the stage coach to avoid the punishing ride. Very interesting book.

    American history from which comes American culture.
    Something new migrants will know nothing about ... if they ever cared.

    • @petehealy9819

      Sounds like you have something against migrants. Why - just because they're migrants? I'd bet your ancestors were migrants, too.

      @brucestaples4510 5 месяцев назад

      You would be surprised what new migrants know about American history, especially those that study to become citizens. But as a Native American, you probably know it all, eh? Or were you referring to your own ancestors?

    • @LesterMoore
      @LesterMoore 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@brucestaples4510 And, judging from your response, you'd be surprised all they don't know. Take a gander at "The Squad" in D.C. and their statements as an example.
      Americans are inculcated with American history having grown up with it all about them. An educational system that once taught American history and celebrated American Judeo-Christian customs throughout the years.
      Yet you can so smugly sit back in your comfy chair, hot coffee, chocolate or more than likely -- whiskey, at hand and pontificate about someone you know nothing about.
      Go back to your somnolent ways and do everyone a welcome favor.
