@@ArizonaGhostriders awesome! I wondered if that’s where I saw that clip before. Good job using it again! I always enjoy the Saturday morning vids from you John. Keep it up my friend.
Good morning Arizona Ghost Riders. It's Ted from Texas. As I am getting ready to go to work I take a few minutes and enjoy watching your episodes. You always put forward something good and watch. I hope your Thanksgiving was good and your Christmas even better. See you in the next video
I live in Palo Pinto County, Texas, where Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight were among the 40 Texas cattlemen who were the founders of The The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in 1877!
My grandfather was friends with Charles Goodnight and suppose to have worked for him after graduating Texas A&M in 1911. Do know if any of the trail logs still exist that might give me dates he worked and the cattle drives he went on?
Great video Santee! Charles Goodnight is one of my heroes. He served in the Confederate Army and spent most of his time on the frontier guarding against Indian raids. I love that his life inspired one of my favorite movies, Lonesome Dove. Keep up the great job.
This was great Santee! We do a map activity in my American history class that includes the Goodnight-Loving trail and my students always think it's a funny name. I can show them this to explain it, and him, better. Thanks!
Morning, Santee. I have always been amazed at C. Goodnight's life. Thanks for the brief run down to really cover it you would take days to more than scratch the surface.
Hello Santee! Thanks for another great video! Charles Goodnight was definitely one of the more colorful characters of the Old West. I once read a story about him crossing paths with a band of Comanches led by Quanah Parker while searching for cattle in Palo Duro Canyon Texas. Goodnight saved his own life that day (due to his knowledge of both Spanish and Colorado landmarks) by convincing the fearsome, Spanish-speaking Comanche chieftain that he was actually from Colorado and not from Texas. At the time of their meeting, Texans were considered the most hated of all the enemies of the Comanche. Goodnight then proposed a personal treaty between himself and Quanah Parker-who had been given prior permission to leave Fort Sill to hunt for food- that the Indians could take two cows a day from his herds. He also gave Quanah a small herd of cattle to take back with him to his ranch on the Fort Sill Reservation.
You always have information or stories that I have not heard of Santee. Super cool my friend. Thank you for always digging up some interesting stories. 👍👍👍
@@ArizonaGhostriders John? So, now your name is John? Good grief, you got more names than Jessy James when he was on the run from those pesky Pinkertons.
Interesting video, Santee. I found Charles Goodnight on IMdB. He produced and appeared as himself in a short called "Old Texas" in 1916. Not much is written about the film, but it sounds intriguing. -Desert Rat Rick
Howdy y'all! A great overview of Mr. Goodnight. Being related to Oliver Loving, I find the story of those two trailblazers facinating. Keep up the great work and making sure the spirit of the Old West still burns.
Another Great short history lesson from The Legendary Santee!! I was thinking, you could have your very own Western History Series on cable. I'm sure you have plenty of material. If you do, Never relinquish control, you'll get schnookered! Well, As Always, Another Great Video!!
Very awesomely awesome and fantastically informative video, I really loved and enjoyed it. I learned a lot about Charles Goodnight. Who up until now, I didn’t know anything about. Today I’m going to be creating a character loosely based on Charles Goodnight
@@ArizonaGhostriders I didn’t know that, but I’m glad I learned about him today. When I create my character loosely based on him today, I’ll give the character the name Sylvester Micah , he’ll be a old West Ranger alongside his brothers Sebastian Riptide and Leif Bascom
My grandfather was friends with Charles Goodnight and suppose to have worked for him after graduating Texas A&M in 1911. Do know if any of the trail logs still exist that might give me dates he worked and the cattle drives he went on?
@@alansmth1729 I’m sorry I don’t have that information. My great grandmothers father was Benton Goodnight and his wife was a McCoy. My great grandmother was Irene Goodnight.
@@Angieisrockinlife My grandfather was Thomas Pryse Metcalfe. Born 1889 in Hutto Texas. graduated from Texas A & M 1911. The story is that after A&M he went to work for Charles Goodnight from 1911 until 1917/18. In 1917/18 he enlisted in the Army and was in World War 1. After that he came back to Texas and became a AAA agent in Motley county and had been hired by Judge Glenn. The motive for hiring him was to have him marry one of Judge Glenn's 3 daughter. Which was my grandmother Carolyn Glenn. Some time after that my uncle and mother were born. In the 1930's he purchased a ranch in Robertson County. I am the manager and half owner of my mothers side of that ranch. I moved to the ranch this year. It is such a peaceful way of life. Thank you.
@@alansmth1729 That’s an amazing story! I’m also from the Ellis family who came from England to settle the early colonies. That’s such a blessing to have a ranch like that! My husband and I live in Chicago and own a Limo business but we are so tired of the city and plan on trying to buy some farm land eventually!
Santee thank you so much for your usual, great content. I learned a lot about Mr Goodnight a real tough man. Who lived the life of a pioneer having to wear many hats.. And a happy belated Thanksgiving.
Great video, Santee! Lots and lots of information here, and who knew measles could cause hearing loss?! Seems like Charles Goodnight was involved in just about everything, doesn’t it? And he died the same year as Wyatt Earp, who was pretty long lived himself!
Santee i signed up for your patreon. Your my first I follow out of all youtube. Your channel is amazing. I will totally back you up! Still want to send my companies jerky your way. Keep up the AMAZING WORK!!! I'll see you on down the trail bud
Santee thank you for a great episode and I always learn something. Hopefully maybe one time you be able to do an episode on the ovens and stoves that were made during the old west days.
Great job and well done on the awesomely awesome and very fantastically informative video, I definitely got a lot of inspiration for old West inspired novel series that I’m writing book 2 for and I got a lot of inspiration for my upcoming characters too
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome 🌟👍🏼😎 today I’m actually going to be adding the inspiration I got from the video to my book, and I’m also going to be mixing my old story ideas with my new story ideas to create one big epic story
Another really good video Santee!! I always enjoy learning new tid bits about the ol west🤠 Charles Goodnight had quite a few employment titles in his day. I agree Lonesome Dove is one of the best westerns I've seen, if not the best in my opinion. The sequel return to Lonesome Dove wasn't bad either. Thanks again for keeping the western spirit alive!!!!!
I believe I spied the AGR logo warning off the snake on wagon then again on Mr bison and lastly on the white container to your left on the chuck wagon bin.... Liked the content and as usual nicely done!!!
Again, I learned something new from Santee. I had no idea that Goodnight was the inspiration for Lonesome dove. To be honest I had never even heard of Mr Goodnight.
Hi Santee, great video as always! Though, I'm surprised Bose Ikard wasn't mentioned in this video! Ikard worked extremely closely with Loving and Goodnight on the trail, and was one of the most trusted members on their crew. So much so, that Goodnight would give him all the money they earned from cattle herding, "for a thief would never think about robbing him". Since the nearest bank was usually in Denver, that money needed to be kept in trusted hands. Not only that, he was an excellent herder and fighter. Bose Ikard is one of the many famous black cowboys, and for great reason!
Say Santee - what with December and the festive season coming up, could you do a video on churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship in the Old West?
I’ve honestly never heard of Goodnight till now. It’s a shame. Such an incredible story! Why weren’t we ever taught this in school? Perhaps it’s just because I’m from a different state. But they taught us nothing about the west at all!
That is true! But they didn’t even teach us about Wyatt Earp, or Custer. We only ever learned about manifest destiny, trail of tears, and briefly talked about Wild Bill Cody. But even then, not much detail. Ah well. Nothing I can’t remedy watching you guys!
Great video. He mentioned more in the Lonesom Dove book. Of course I know they couldn't put all the stuff in the movie. I love the book it's 700 odd pages long
I met Willie Nelson and Slim Pickens at three o’clock in the morning, at the Charles Goodnight Cafe south of Austin, way back in 1980. They were having the “sizzling steak”. An excellent choice.
Thank you Ghost Riders! Love the videos, pretty much my favorite show. Can you tell me what movie that clip where the cavalry officer asks Goodnight if there is a spring nearby?
Hey Santee This particular episode was so interesting that I took the time to look up Goodnight on Wikipedia to see if there were any other details about his life. I found this in my reading and thought it to be very interesting: "April 1926, Goodnight became ill himself. He was nursed back to health by a distant paternal cousin, 26-year-old nurse and telegraph operator from Butte, Montana, named Corinne Goodnight, with whom Charles had been corresponding because of their shared surname. On March 5, 1927, his 91st birthday, Goodnight married Corinne, who was young enough to be his great-granddaughter" Real . American . Cowboy.
Great video as always, Santee. I got an idea for a video. Famous Hoosiers of The Old West. Seeing how you're a transplanted Hoosier and all, it seems kinda fitting.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Famous Hooters in the Old West would work too! It would definitely get more views than Famous Hoosiers!😂🤣😅 Wait.. Hear me out... How about "Famous Hoosier Hooters in the Old West"!
My great grandfather, Thomas Braidwood, was a good friend of his. He contracted Harold to bring cows for breeding to the Oklahoma Panhandle. When the Panhandle was brought into statehood with the nations, he was the force that lobbied for it to be attached to Oklahoma instead of returned to Texas. Got the photos, documents, ect including the original Spanish land grant document dated 1836, that a man filed in Beaver Co.
My grandfather was friends with Charles Goodnight and suppose to have worked for him after graduating Texas A&M in 1911. Do know if any of the trail logs still exist that might give me dates he worked and the cattle drives he went on?
@@alansmth1729 hummm, good question. You might try the Goodnight ranch HQ for anything they might have. I know he kept a log, simular to a ships log on the cattle herd.
Hey Santee, could you do a video on Wheelchairs and prosthetics of the old west??? I know Hanger prosthetics was created after the Civil War!!! Thanks in advance, and keep up the great vids!!! (still wish they were longer)!!!
Colby beef is absolutely awesome. Their a couple of ranches in Texas that have all kind's of African game for hunting, including Water Buffalo for your Colby beef. The Hunt Lodge can hook you up. I think OX Ranch may have them also, plus they have tank's to drive and shoot. Great video Santee!

Colby beef is absolutely awesome. Their a couple of ranches in Texas that have all kind's of African game for hunting, including Water Buffalo for your Colby beef. The Hunt Lodge can hook you up. I think OX Ranch may have them also, plus they have tank's to drive and shoot. Great video Santee!
Thank you!
Hunting Water Buffalo with a tank? Oh My !!
Hey Santee, think you can do more reviews like what you did with Hell on Wheels?
Sure!
🐴🇱🇷🤠 I MISSED ON, CATCH UP TIME. THANKS FOR VIDEO 👍
