God was trying so hard to change this man's direction!! Talk about missing the signs. Bless his heart. Great story. Laughed out loud at poor ole Dick and his poor foot.
I couldn't help but to laugh throughout this entire episode😂 . I'm from Laurel Co Ky so to hear a story about a guy with so much bad luck from a surrounding county made me laugh alot.
Another amazing story. My daughter and I listened to this while she is getting ready for school. His perseverance was inspiring. His horsemanship was hilarious.
ROFL I don’t know who was more stupid. The outlaw or the governors of California. You would think people who are supposedly book smart would be able to figure out that actions that send you to prison and letting them loose really doesn’t work.
They did, it called Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda.😆 At least that's what I thought during the narration. Lee Marvin's character was terrible with a horse 🐎.
What a crazy tale... almost want to feel sorry for him ☺️ I think I would have took it as a sign after the first few strokes of "bad luck"...Lol... Thanks JD... you're a fine storyteller 🤗❤️
When I wrote this story, I did my best to transport listeners back in time to be right beside the bad luck bandit and help dust him out each time he fell
Man, what a story! 🤣 And funny! Wow lawyer turned outlaw! And his poor foot! 🤣 🤦♀️ I love the guitar playing in this and your voice is perfect for narrating!
JD, I'm an old Roane County boy living up here in Northwest Ohio. I found your channel a couple of months back and my wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. This story today made us chuckle. It's an amazing story. Keep up the good work.
I laughed harder than I should have. But what a great way to enjoy my morning coffee. Hahaha. The way you tell the stories are the best. Thank you for sharing with us. May God Bless you and yours. Keep them coming. 😊
Breaking the law is wrong but I had to laugh and laugh at the horse problems he had. Maybe that's where the saying, "Stop horsing around!", came from. Thank you JD!
What and incredible chain of events, this guy was destined for a lifetime of reinventing himself. What a great upload just purely loved it. Thanks for taking the time to put it together for your RUclips family. I bet Dick either settled down in some old watering hole somewhere....or....he moved to Canada. haha🤠
OMG This was hilarious JD! What an incredibly inept & unlucky &stupid “criminal”. This had me laughing out loud! I needed this to take my mind off my pain & I do thank you for that! Keep em coming as you have the most interesting and varied stories
George Brittain Lyttle was living with his sister Sally and her husband Harvey Hatton on the 1920 Knox County, Kentucky census. Sally died in 1922 and in Jun 1922 he is mentioned along with his brother Carlo and mentioned in the wedding announcement or their sister Lenora. Another Jun 1922 newspaper article states he was moving to Cincinnati to teach Spanish
🎼Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me! 🤷♀️🤣🤷♀️ That guy was something else! All the songs you play in the background, are songs I grew up singing. ♡
I believe he must have hit his head when that first horse threw him. Nobody can just have that much bad luck. He must have had a few screws knocked loose and just couldn't think right anymore.🤣 Great story and a lot of smiles and chuckles while watching this video. Thank you for another great story and keep them coming.
Enjoyed this story! The poor guy didn't have a bit of luck,except for leaving prison early.Lol,let us hope he stayed sober for the rest of his years.And that he lead a quiet family life.
Really interesting story. He was good at being good and very bad at being bad. Even had a happier life if it hadn't been for the alcohol. The part where he succeeded because he dressed up the trees to look like he had a game was so inventive and made me laugh. And nothing in it but a piece of paper written in Chinese. I believe there was some supernatural in intervention. And his guardian angel. Or even fate would not allow him to succeed in his bad deeds. I like to believe once his family came whatever became of him that he finally surrendered and quit fighting fate and settled down to be the good Christian man that he was born to be.
Well said Elizabeth! I didnt put it in the video, but there is a theory that once he finally got out of prison once and for all, that he changed his name again and became a preacher and just quietly disappeared
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller that guiding Spirit was no doubt in my mind his grandfather thank you JD that's an interesting comment makes the story even more intriguing.
That is the funniest tragedy I’ve ever listened to..I thought I knew some unlucky ppl and stubborn..but this man managed to be unlucky,stubborn and cursed to never have made friends with a single horse his entire life apparently lol
Drink have problems, drink again have problems...you might have a problem. Clearly there was a power trying hard to get him to not be a criminal but he just wouldn't listen.
AGAIN JD YOU TELL THESE BREATHTAKING STORIES AND ONLY YOU CAN TELL THEM BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE EVERY SINGLE LETTER YOU SAY IS TRUE SIR YOU ARE ONE REMARKABLE MAN I LOVE YOUR BONES
What a story! No Hollywood movie could be better! So much bad luck seems to be unbelievable! I really would like to know how unlucky Dick Fellows so often broken foot surved him later in life? And how his life went on, after leaving California but never turned up somewhere else again.... at least not under a known name. Obviously he ended his career as outlaw, because otherwise I suppose we would have got to known it... Are there any informations who inherited his fathers law firm and fortune? From the story I assume he was an only child? Maybe he became an horse breeder?;-)
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Something like that was well possible in the old days...I suppose the people didn`t questioned so much about each other. I hope he had a good life after all that bad luck!
Has to be the unluckiest man I've ever heard of. Horses were not his friend at all I actually feel bad for the man. Perhaps he should have invested in a bicycle 😂 and yes there we're bicycles in the 1800s. Fun fact first motorcycle was built in 1885

After that much bad luck someone should re-think they're employment choices!!! Great story! Awesome channel.
Thank you!
I always enjoy your narration, but I cant imagine anyone else giving this story more character! Thanks immensly for the good time

He couldn’t win for losing
Omg this guy and his luck with horses is hilarious! It makes me believe that something wanted him caught
🤣
I could listen to his voice all day! Thank you for your wonderful reading of history!
Thank you my friend!

Cracking yarn, for a smart fellow he sure didn’t learn.
Yup 👍
Reminds me of another set of stories, roadrunner and a coyote!
😆
😂😂😂😂❤Awesome!!
He was a character
That guy couldn’t catch a break.

that is correct, we discussed that in the comments several months ago
Thank you for extra information. Hopefully Lyttle stayed away from whiskey, horses & robbing. He got alot of chances. LoL 😊
This is just so funny for it not to be true. Thank you again for your wonderful story telling. Peace out
Its true my friend!
Your voice is so appropriate for the channel
Thank you so much!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller It’s a rustic voice and tuned for the time period. Just like Casey Kasem and America’s top 40 in the 70’s.
@@scootermagee6680 WOW what a complement! I grew up listening to Casey Kasem

Good stuff man....👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍preciate you!
I believe he must have hit his head when that first horse threw him. Nobody can just have that much bad luck. He must have had a few screws knocked loose and just couldn't think right anymore.🤣
Great story and a lot of smiles and chuckles while watching this video.
Thank you for another great story and keep them coming.

Thanks again
This was a case of if he didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all! LOL

He so crack me up
he couldnt win for losing!

Cheers to that
He sure was dedicated to his cause...and a god awful horseman 🤣
😂
Talk about bad luck 😂😂

He couldn’t win
Hey storyteller I pray everything is going great Amen 🙏
Thanks so much 👋
I haven't laughed so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
He’s probably still in a gopher hole.lol Hilarious story.
😂
This would so be my luck 😢😂❤
I know, right if he didn’t have any bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck at all

For such an educated, intelligent man, he had no common sense to be such a repeat offender. Think the horses had more sense than him. Lol.

Kinda feel sorry for him tbh. He'd have been fine if not for his problem with alcohol.

good point!
