Luke Short & The Dodge City War
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 окт 2020
- In the spring of 1883, a group of very dangerous men began gathering outside of Dodge City, Kansas. Men with names like Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Shotgun Collins, and Doc Holliday. Killers, all of ‘em. Men familiar with the weight of a revolver in hand and the smell of black powder smoke. They gathered to rally around one man, their compadre who had recently been forced out of town by a crooked mayor and a small army of vigilantes. Luke Short. A cowboy turned scout turned gambler who earned himself quite the reputation as a man handy with the iron. #wildwest #cowboy #history

Imagine Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Charlie Bassett and possibly Doc Holliday having your back? This was one hellava video. Much thanks!
You are mistaken sir! When I was a kid some of the Comanche kids I grew up with were still somewhat combative. I've been attacked by Comanches a number of times and, so far, have lived to tell the tale
The Indians named you Lovelace and your cousin Linda who went to Hollywood and became famous.
I woke up murdered by the Comanches,..... twice times!
Damn it, you got me with that Delaware bullshit. Had me questioning all the geography & history I thought I knew. 😂
I too have been attacked by some in Salt Lake City UT. One Salt and Tyler many Grey Horses . I was winning the fight against one salt till the other one jumped in. They even kicked me in the face with boots on while I was already beat and down. Lol their still full of Piss and vinegar 1992..
Oh, yeah, go up to fucking wisconsin and see if those indian gangs don't fuck with you. Indians got more fight in them than anyone.
The White Elephant Saloon was still in business near the Fort Worth Stockyards on Exchange Avenue as of 1987.
The original White Elephant Saloon was in downtown Foat Wuth, in what was known as Hell's Half -Acre.
If l'm not mistaken modern day Sundance Square is the very same area.
Texas, largest State without Eskimos! Howdy y'all...
Keep em' coming. We love the podcast.
Hey Josh I just wanted to say that I love your podcast you're one of my favorite podcasts on RUclips and I also wanted to tell you that my wife bought me a Colt Single Action Army made in 1882 it has the 4 3/4 Barrel and is in fine shooting condition came with all the letters from Colt and a list of all the owners back to 1914.
Thank you man! And that's so cool...I'd love to have one of those old revolvers. Just imagine who could have owned it going all the way back to 1882. Your wife must love you very much!
I agree I wish I could see it early life. No cars just horse and train. Plus holding the gun shows he was a right handed man. The wear is favoring right. I have alot of info on some of the owners and they were cattle men. So for many years this gun Road in a holster on a horse under the stars and into dusty old cow towns. On cattle drives.

I love your work and I’ve always really respected you, your presentations & all the work that you obviously do before every presentation.
That said, I don’t know the details or the background story that was mentioned, but I give you huge props for how you handled it & your kind words to the woman that was upset.
Keep up the awesome work!!

Having Polycystic Kidney Disease and having many predecessors who've died from said disease I can definitely relate to how L.L. Short must have felt in his final days.
I also have a problem, it started with stomach cancer and now is in my lower left lung. God bless you and give you peace.
@@RichardTucker-xu6ic thank you,
Great ! History with a since of humor
"The Taco store where nothing good happens after 9:00" I love your grandma 😂
Coffee strong enough to float a horse shoe....Lmao.
Or strong enough to use as dehorning fluid on ornery bulls
In Tombstone, the reenactments showed us Luke wasn't to be trifled with.
Those re-enactments are awesome a great way to spend the day
Man, you need to do one of these about Ned Christie's War. Solid bit of history.
Got one on Ned Christie in the works
That's spectacular, keep up the good work!

Really enjoy your stuff, Thanks Ross
I appreciate that, Ross
Found your channel today and subscribed to it today 😊👍
Heck yeah. Welcome aboard!
NOBODY dressed better than Luke
Agreed. But aren't you the guy that called me a very mean name the other day?
And sir, with this video you have won me over
awesome!
This is hilarious. Tombstone, DE. Funny joke!! Good stuff
Really enjoy your channel. I'm from Georgia and enjoy reading about Doc Holliday. Hope you would do a podcast on Doc Holliday
I love your work on this channel man. Super entertaining and informative.
Here I am again Josh. Lovin' your narration and sense of humor, makes for great listening. Thank you Sir.
Another excellent story told by a kickass story teller keep up the good work. Was wondering if you could find some historical stories about Mexican banditos
Thank you, Art. I think I can probably round up some banditos.
Red Lopez would be a good start for bandidos.
Very interesting video. I'm sure that there's a lot of time and research that goes into one of your videos. Do you plan on doing a video on Doc Holliday?
Thank you. Eh, I am kinda sorta thinking about doing one on Doc.
@Joe P Sure, email me at bloodybeaverpodcast@gmail.com
White Elephant is still open. Is in Ft Worth Stockyards
Like the way you tell these stories.
Also, citing sources adding your own imagininings!
But most of all you're concise and well prepared.
Which isn't always the case on RUclips sites .
Well i jumped by a bunch of Seminole’s on the rez when I was about 15. Actually turned into 2-3 years of beef 😂 😂
You almost sound like Danny McBride lol
I one's heard tell of a man cought up in a comanche fight that was so fearce his poor old horse fainted of fright. As stone tipped arrows sang past him it began to rain . Well came a gullywasher and rained for five days straight. His old horse nearly drowned. He finally managed to pull the beast to safty. At last dryground . In the peak of the storm he constructed a great leanto against a group of great boulders that had rolled of a high cliffface. No fire was kindled for fear of the old Camachy warrior locating his camp . He walked the big horse underneath the makeshift shelter and dryed the dappledgray down with an shert from his saddlebag .
Just started listening! Happy to subscribe, I gave a finger for a sinking ship! Merry Christmas!
Welcome aboard!
Love your story telling. 3rd generation to grow up here in Dodge. Also have Osage Indian ancestry. So many of my people are from the area. Including oklahoma.. just sayn.. Got the privilege to meet Chalky Benson's great grand daughter here a few months back who still lives here too. I live on beeson, which is a rd named after Chalky. As a kid his barn was still standing & used as a haunted house for Halloween.Thank you for sharing this history.
Very cool! Thank you
Alberta is the "Texas" of Canada. Calgary is the Country Music Hub of Canada. The Saddledome is the home of the Calgary Flames hockey team and the Calgary Stampede is a rodeo. I recommend you visit my home country at least once before you pass on. The Calgary Stampeders is a CFL football team. Get yourself a steak and a Molson. Horse around, pardner. Banff is a must see. Brewster's Tours is based in Calgary.
I'd love to one day
Get your Stetson on, mount your horse and head to Arlington, Texas for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game and Fan Fest. The most famous Texan pitcher was Nolan Ryan.
Im related yo luke lol, from Arizona and have picture book with him in it :)
Very cool!
Somehow I didn't comment on this... serious props for apologizing for starters, people underestimate how hard that can be
And for the sincere words of solidarity, man
It's really nice to hear
Hope you and the family are well and stay safe
Love your video content !!
Can you please give us a video on - Nat love , aka "Deadwood Dick"
Yes!
I remember thinking back then, "I hope this poor Marilyn lady never hears this..."... Whoops.. Respect for making good though.
If you and Marilyn just can't settle your beef, I recommend a pie-eating contest to settle the whole affair.
I'm down!
One I ain't heard yet,cool.
I.collect old coins.and I am old. I do it because it brings back memories of.long ago. When I was a teenager, 90% silver DOLLARS were still being used in the cash registers! RIGHT NOW I have an 1882 silver dollar, minted in New Orleans! You talk.about them times like you might have BEEN there!. Having that dollar in my.pocket makes those times feel really close and I wonder if Luke Short.might have carried it! You never know!😂❤
He might have!
Luke Short was a direct relative of mine 🤯 I'm a Short!
Very cool!
Sweet
Isn't that a picture of Ben Thompson?
That's Luke Short but there is a very similar picture of Ben dressed the same way. Fancy hat and cane.
@@WildWestExtravaganza Thank you
So Luke sold the Long Branch to Miss Kitty,or vice versa?🤔😂
What's wrong Beaver? Wally giving you the business?
Well.. well!!! Right out of Oklahoma... the great story teller...✍️😃❤️👍🇺🇸🥾🥾🔥🐓👋🏈😊👍 Will Rogers!!!from the Missourian from the show me and US State...!!!

Banging hard on Okies.
Someone needs to
Classy ending. 👍🏼👍🏼
I live about 25 miles SE of San Antonio, as I have been doing for 23 years. Did live in San Antonio for about 5 or 8 years and will say except for the food I feel no compulsion to return to San Antonio unless by doing so I could avoid having to find myself in Fort Worth.
You're humble,yet awesome 👌
I appreciate that
Humble? lol, I would say "Confident" with a twist.
But, everything is Perception and Perspective.
Best Thoughts ...
Short, was known for being very fast AND deadly accurate a rarity, original owner of white elephant in Ft. Worth.
rowdy joe lowe was in Wichita kansas in the late 1800s .he killed a man on the west side of the west side bridge.our family lived there in the 1960s.we used to walk across that same bridge.a little history.
Very interesting
We need an episode in Charly basset
He’s on the list
Josh:Great podcast,love the appropriate apology to Marilyn,It took a good man and you delivered.Valued advice at the end you have God in your heart.I hope,if your busy schedule allows,that you can accept the many generous offers from your appreciative/knowledgeable viewer’s.I enjoy learning from both you and your audience.Thank you.
What was the name of that game that turned outlaws and lawmen into pro gamblers as a sidetrack? Pharoah?
It was a very crooked game. Apparently being a Pharoah dealer was less gambling and more grift.
Faro. Yep.
@@WildWestExtravaganza That's it. I thought I may have spelled it wrong.
Big of you to apologize. Enjoyed the story. I happen to agree with the lady that butch Cassidy survived. Seeing as how he had slipped through so many times against the best out there.
Can we get a video on Charle Bassett ?
Yessir
@@WildWestExtravaganza Looking forward to it.
excellent dude
Luke was attractive, and Hattie was as well, they must have made a handsome couple. Luke also wasn't tight with his money, and he had quite classy taste. Both he and Hattie wore expensive clothes, not merely "in style" but the era's equal to Armani and Chanel for Hattie.
Tragic he passed so young. He was generous with dinations to churches, schools, and for needy children.
That is a statement of his character.
...."there's even this one guy I don't know what the hell he is" ..... Baaha bro I died
Good Stuff
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was wounded in the hip during the Civil War and survived.
Great episode
Thank you!!!!
I grew up in Ft. Worth and studied at a famous Christian university and left many of dead soldiers at the White Elephant. Still have a beer or two there 50:31 when go to Ft.Worth. Also a life long Cowboys fan. 😎
I really hate to say this but that's not the same white elephant. The original building is now a plant store
@@WildWestExtravaganza I knew that by your description of the actual location but it’s still cool to have a few beers at white elephant.
@@hardtruth63americanpatriot66 yeah it is
I enjoy your videos! OKIES RULE!!
Thanks Vicki!
Guy gets cheated playing three card Monte.😂 Little tip, the object being used isn't under either of the cards. It's in one of his hands.They'll let ya get the first and even the second try then raise the stakes (double or nothing) and it's game over. Usually done on drunks (people impaired) and when ya realize ya been duped and try to go looking for the trickster to whip his arse and get your money back, he'll be long gone.👍😂.
The photo is ben Thompson not luke short.....
Nope, that's Luke. There's one similar of Thompson in a top hat.
cool stuff.
Good show
Thanks 😂
When are you doing the story on Fat Basturdson?
Any day now
@@WildWestExtravaganza the illegitimate outlaw
39 years old seems to be an interesting coincidence.
Good job man. Appreciate your apology, very well said
You’re some storyteller thanks
Awww come on?! Why the Michigan comment? Lol
Got me Delaware lol
2:30 The Comanche didn't think that area was their sacred homeland, they thought of it as a neighboring land ripe for plundering, killing, and raping. They did the same to neighboring Indian tribes, the Mexicans, and the Spanish before them.
Oklahoma is great! Wind sweeping plains and all that.
You the man!
Hey now ! Oklahoma ain’t that bad!
Thanks!
Much appreciated, Daniel
Well wasn't Billy that said politicians, bankers and newspapers were scum.
Going through your older videos and I have to say you're right Ms hattie buck was hot
Stealing a horse = Hanging Offense
Shoot a town marshall or deputy = Law don't go 'round here, law dog. You saavy?
Good Times!
