How People In the Wild West Spent Their Free Time

- Have you ever wondered what people did in the Wild West for fun? Life on the American frontier was hard, without question, but cowboys, pioneers, settlers, miners, and the like also had a fair amount of time to enjoy their surroundings. At the very least, they needed some outlets to blow off steam.
Many pastimes in the Wild West took place at well-known sites like saloons and brothels; however, as various sporting events and recreational activities spread across the country, people in the Wild West were also able to take part in some unique experiences as they came along. Entertainment in the Wild West might not be your idea of fun, but men, women, and children out on the frontier had a fair number of options for ways to spend their free time.

I believe a lot of conflict in the Wild West could have been avoided completely
if architects in those days had just made their towns big enough for everyone
Hey man I watch your channel> Nice to see you here
love your videos man
My man
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or if the townsfolk were as brave as me, I see a cliff and I dont even flinch 🐢😏
A recent study has shown that people nowadays eat more beans than cowboys. It must be true because I've never eaten a cowboy.
Fair point

We still have snake oil salesmen. Most of them buy ad space on RUclips.
What did they evolved into before they become As Seen on TV guys then get rich/be successful gurus on RUclips?

And they have a D by their name.
Still plenty of them in the medical community
Doing a video about wild west clothing or their fashion in general would be cool
Look up the channel "Arizona ghostriders" they cover a bunch of old west stuff
Fashions of the Wild West generally followed fashion of Europeans except it took about a year to cross the pond, then a couple of years to travel to the west in the beginning.

I’d say they focused on utility when it came to clothing rather than fashion ultimately

Back To The Future
I'd be curious to hear about the fringe groups of the Wild West: freedmen settlements; former Confederate's colonies; Chinese communities; the attempted Mormon state of Deseret and its conflicts with other settlers and the Army.
So much fascinating history has took place in NA in the past few hundred years.
People from the wild west played red dead redemption in their free time

Hehehe true that
Ah, dating in the mid 18th century.
Saddle your steed, pick up your paramour. Take her to the local watering hole for a fare of beans, bacon, eggs and coffee. Then take in a living picture show. Then finish the evening with a sunset picnic, while taking in the local hangings.
Simply marvellous!
I imagine 3 of the top 5 would be, “at the brothel.”
The other 2 being, “bar or church.”
Yes
Well, does the barber count as the bar?
I'm shocked that you didn't include going to church and revival meetings. Those were VERY popular activities in the Wild West. Every town had a church and most folks went to church. Traveling preaching under tents or under the stars was extremely common and very popular. People would load up wagons and head for it.
Maybe they thought they'd offend some religious people given they're talking about entertainment 🤷🏻♀️
(Edit: I know it's not exactly that in the title, but it's implied.)
Seeing the dude swinging the other guy around was pretty funny. Lmao
Right?! I was laughing my ass off so much when I first saw it that I actually timestamped the part into a link and sent it as a text to my best friend. 😅 It’s at 9:51 if anyone wants to re-see it lol.
I like playing black jack, poker, robbing banks and trains ... and insulting Micah Bell.

Suggestion: Wild West cuisine, from campfire cookery to fancy restaurant fare.
Suggestion: Badass Women Of The West.
Suggestion: Wild West dating, courtship and marriage.
Suggestion: Wild West education.
Stew. Saloon stew.

Find a book for Jack or steal a book for Hosea, near Saint Denis, so Hosea can teach Jack.

Not helping.
3R’s + penmanship topped out at the 5th grade level at most for kids that went to school mid 1800s. Like your suggestions...
Did pan-frying and grilling not reach The Wild West until the frontier was closed around 1890's hence stew and open fire barbecue were the norm?
And how long before most household in the West have oven? 20th century?
That very first picture looks exactly like Robert Pattinson
Probably a leaked photo of his next good A24 film
Tom Hiddleston
I thought so too
Thought the same
Those folk liked to see plays, too, put on by traveling theatrical companies. They enjoyed Shakespeare. Edwin Booth, brother of the notorious John Wilkes Booth, headed a traveling acting company of professionals. And guys like writer Oscar Wilde travelled the USA giving literary readings and commentary to appreciative audiences. The people of those times did enjoy some culture when they had a chance to experience it.
Yes yes! A decent chunk of the Wild West existed during the “Romantic Era” is art and literature and I think that’s so cool
So train robbing was more of a niche pursuit, I guess...
No that was a career...
@@barbararoca6847 it was more then a career. It was a lifestyle.
Hold up. How come have I been seeing you every I go lately
@@brianisme6498 Trolls think alike?
Much respect to Gwyneth Paltrow for keeping the snake oil business alive.

I spend my free time watching Weird History, whose narrator makes it doubly entertaining. Triply, even. 🎉
Today, I went to the UPS store, had a sandwich, attended a telephonic court trial, and listened to a woodpecker peck my satellite dish. That's how we in the Wild West do it in 2021.
It will get more "wild" in August with dust storms, gardening, and monsoons because it will be 110 & we will wish we were anywhere BUT the West.
Thank you for the Wild West content! Could you make a video about how murderers were found in the Old West? Were there any forensic practices that were used?
They weren't doing blackface, they were just trying to be less white.

That was good
You said blaceface first, and that made me laugh.
That would've been an appropriate response by a Coke employee, huh ? To show up in blackface the next day....lol.

Have you ever considered doing a show about the Rivermen on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers during the Wild West period? The river captains were innovative to say the least. Mark Twain had some wonderful things to say about this mode of life. Men like Miche Phinck, Manuel Lisa, Pierre Chouteau, Jr., and Henry Boller among others, would make a very lively program. Love your channel. You do GREAT work!
In the old photo at 7:07 we see Wyatt Earp himself as the dealer at a game of Faro. To his side sits a hatless John Henry "Doc" Holliday looking on with one leg resting on the back of Wyatt's chair. This picture has been authenticated and is said to have been taken in Tombstone Arizona sometime prior to the shootout at the O.K. Corral.

11:30 Hey look, it's my home town! We folks in Prescott, AZ (or "Press-kit" as it's pronounced around here) take some pride in having what is possibly the oldest standing rodeo grounds in the world. That and Whiskey Row, which is an entire block of historic saloons that only burns to the ground once or twice a century.
I always spend my free time watching weird history😌
“9.5 on the racist Richter scale” 😂
Make it 10.0

Can’t say it’s right but it’s history people don’t want to remember the bad things but we may repeat it if we don’t remember it
@@Stalkergames916 blackface is already being repeated by some artists in some movies... just without the exagurated lip make up. Look it up. Its still a thing
Great Video Weird History and thank you for acknowledging my comment about Billy the Kid, can't wait to watch about his facts. 😁
Bubba, this brought tears to my eyes.. Bless your heart.
9:08 - Something about the way he says "...And dwarves."
Traditional boxing I loved that the popularity grew. The Irish always dominate bare knuckles lol
I enjoy the wild west videos on this channel
Very excited to learn about the the wild west very interesting 🤔 very excited for for sure indeed ❤❤❤❤ keep it up
Weird History, you guys are great! 👍
This was such a good topic!! I love these videos!!
I would like to see you do a video about the Pinkerton Detective Agency
Great idea for a video!
"We never sleep"
Me too. Great subject!
Surprisingly it’s still around. Just significantly less present in the US.
I am simply amazed by the amount of informations you give, it’s impressive, this is professionalism
I love this channel!!!
the best episode, humor + facts
It has been said that one of the original goals for westward expansion was to open up the east coast for a faster passage to China for trade.
If you look at the Wild West you can see the "Made in China" label on the back
And a faster passage for communicable viruses
Its also been said there were over 11 million Californios and Asians living happily in California when we arrived. The Californios are now Mexicans.
Now thats weird history you wont hear about.
Learned about how China was a big reason for the Pacific Northwest fur trade from the book "The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom" this past year. Furs and ginseng were products that the early US tried to trade with China before having to focus on silver and opium.
@@northeastslingshot1664
Can't be help that neither whites nor Asians can sustain the rate of populating the land, so Mexicans move in to fill the gap.
Maybe California is fated to become just a watering stop for immigrants moving inland and not a destination in 21st century?
This by definition doesn’t exactly have anything to do with the “Wild West”... at least by this channel and most people’s definitions. But my great great grandfather was a bare knuckle boxer back in the old logging camps of Northern Ontario and Quebec during the late 1800’s. He apparently would ride the railroads and steam ships, and wagons to the camps and make his money by winning, and apparently loosing fights all over.
They made'm tough in those days. Guys would bareknuckle box if they were bored .....
Ok I am just so effing impressed that you used Circus Circus as your image of hair metal. Talk about an effing reach way back to the back of the vault.
This channel is keeping me alive

Everytime I have this romanticized notion of how cool it would have been to live in the Wild West (especially when I'm playing Red Dead Redemption lol) I always have to remind myself, wait... You're a Black woman. Life would have sucked beyond imagining for you. But I just continue to play pretend when I play RD2 lol
There were more than a few black sheriffs and Cowboys back then and there were even places where black people were considered free or a normal citizen
It goes against popular impressions but, among people born and raised in America, the literacy rate was actually higher in 1900 than in 2000. A big part of that was because reading was a major form of entertainment in the 1800's. Books, newspapers and magazines were the only option if you were home alone. Modern day (between television, video games, radio, etc.) there are so many options that reading isn't as essential.
Love your videos!
4:04 thanks for the completely random cc 👍🏼
please do a video on the life of Grigori Rasputin & what lead to his death! (:
If you're curious about Rasputin i recommend Rasputin by author Douglas Smith, the book is massive and if you have the patience a very good read.
If you played rdr2 you everything about the Wild West
watched from Bryan,tx
Could make a video about what parents were like in the wild west I do enjoy your videos every factual 😊☺️
Of course the irish were the best boxers we invented and perfected whiskey so you know wed be great at pub brawling..lol
I love the joke that the Irish would've ruled the world had it not been for whiskey
@@Spongebrain97 I thought they ruled the world because of whiskey
@@Bluebelle51 Are you drrrunk too dah?
@@SuperSuperman1976 I wish!!!
I think a video around Little Bighorn / Wounded Knee Massacre or other fundamental Native American topics would be fantastic :)
Patent medicine at the time also contained a fair amount of opium. Women at the time would abuse the pain medication Laudlum, since drinking alcohol was considered "unseemly" for women. Laudlum was tincture of opium (opium and alcohol ) Drs were quite liberal when prescribing laudlum, and in some towns you could buy it over the counterr.
Can we all admire the edit on the old video at 9:50 where the guy is wrestling and it cuts and the other guy just gets swung around and thrown lol
Make a video about James Dean and his cursed car
My grandmas got pictures of him in cloth diapers. Crazyness
Great channel
Magnifico
You mean they didn't just spend all their time waiting to report Arthur Morgan for a crime? I'm shocked!
Do Polynesian culture! Like Tonga, or Tahiti
Love the random W.A.S.P reference hair metal rules
Omg! How about doing the history of Barnum and Bailey!!!!! That would be awesome!
This video definitely reminded me a bit of RD2. Now I want to play.

I Live in Norway and my dad looked very N.A .but we never knew why - his dad was blond and his brother as well.. When he died 20 years ago the truth came out. His mother had a relationship before she met my "granfather" and she got pregnant. That man was travelling with one of these shows - ..Brazil jack western show - came to Norway in 1933 - Bringing native Americans and artists from all over the world. After taking a DNA test we finally found out more. So now i know i am part Mohawk and Lakota Sioux..

Do a video about what life was really like living in Hell on Wheels! Was there a real life Al Swearengen just being verbally savage all the time? Were the lawmen really as handsome as Timothy Olyphant? What were the living conditions like? How often did the move (or how quickly were they able to build the railroads?) how dangerous was it?
Nice
Hi weird history you do great videos could you please do a video on the silver pharaoh psusennes 1. It would be great if you could.
