"The more you know....." Love it. Thanks Josh, for all you do! I plan to donate some money to your channel soon. Once I can find a way to avoid my two teenage children's greedy little hands, some of my hard earned money is coming to one of my favorite RUclips channels. I know you constantly refer to your videos as "a silly little channel" but listen man, this "silly little channel" is a big part of my "me time." You and a couple others on RUclips help me relax and allow me to soak up history. Ancient Civilizations, Space exploration and of course Wild West history may not belong in the same category, but they belong in my ears and brain. Thanks again.
Thanks for this video. David Tucker, who has never gotten recognition, was a much tougher lawman than more lauded men like Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson ever were. A no nonsense individual. While Earp and Masterson were essentially gamblers and opportunists who wore a badge when it suited them, Tucker was a lawman first and foremost. Nothing less.
@@pamelamehl5668 Yes. Both men dedicated to their profession. Although Tucker's career did not extend beyond a corner of New Mexico. Reeves was a Deputy US Marshal with jurisdiction in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. Reeves was so dedicated he even arrested his own son for murder. Now THAT is integrity.
@jc20012 One and the same guy. David Tucker was known as "Dangerous Dan". Why? I don't know. But in his corner of the New Mexico Territory he was known as a man not to be trifled with.
Josh, as someone who has done video and audio production, I want to commend you on your fine work. With our busy live it gets easy to half -ass it. You never do. That is the mark of a true professional. Thanks so much for all your hard work and effort!!
Thank you for your excellent rendering of the story of another obscure old west lawman. Being a long retired third generation peace officer, those that served before me hold a genuine interest. My father, and his brother were officers in the late 1940s well into the early 1960s. Prior to them, it was my grandfather and his brother that were lawmen from the mid 1880s through the early 1930s. And prior to them there was an ancestor who was a member of the Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion in the late 1870s through 1890s. So stories about old lawmen appeal to this old man spending his days reminiscing. Again, many thanks.
@@timwilliams8343 I suppose I'm the last of my family as a peace officer. However, we've served our country in the military since 1776 until my time in Vietnam. And that ends too I suppose as I have no children to continue in either profession. It was our honor to serve our country and community over these many years. God bless the United States of America and I hope we survive the efforts of those bent upon destroying it from within. I pray they loose and our great nation remains strong. Ranger, out...

I can tell you really work incredibly hard on your research and writing etc. I really appreciat and respect that. You bring the people and old west to life and give it excitement and purpose . I am honored myself to he a member of your channel sir. I look forward to your next story.
Thanks again Josh! you keepa teachin' and we'll keepa listening and a learnin'!! I was surprised to learn the Dan Tucker we used to sing about was a deadly man, see, learn something every day!!
I’m a general history buff. Love your show. The only time I heard of Dan Tucker in my life before this was. My pal in the 70s getting drunk and singing. Old Dan Tucker he’s a Hell of A Man. Washed his face in a frying pan lol so every few times when you say his name. Those lines flash through my brain. 😂 Cheers
I got to show my dad your stuff on a road trip we took a few weeks ago. We really enjoyed laughing at your jokes as well as the quoted jokes of these people of history. Thank you for the quality of the work you do i really enjoy it.
Shocking! And I listened to a few of your stories. This one was totally appalling. However sickening this makes me. I do enjoy your retelling of old west history along with your commentary. It’s so captivating I swear. Thanks my man.
I was considering making a channel like this one when I found it doing research. I decided there was no need after watching the videos. Thanks for the entertainment and information.
Love this show keep it up. History should be told not read off a white board. This cast is the last thing I hear at night maybe that’s why I wake up with a smile on my face. Happy History, CW😎
Regarding the concussions of the pistols “blowing out” the lamps in the saloon: 1. These lamps were not made of Pyrex glass. 2. The lamps would have used oil with a burning wick to create the light. This means the glass of the lamp would be hot on the inside and the heat would have exited the lamp and gone straight up. Glass is a thermal insulator so there could have been a significant temperature differential between the outside and inside of the glass that put physical strain on the crystalline structure. The sharp gradient produced by the sudden over-pressure of the concussion could be enough to break fragile glass or maybe it just blew out the flame of the wick. 3. At a card table, a chandelier with oil lamps in the 1880s would probably be positioned very low over the table to adequately illuminate the cards for the players. When players stood up and raised their weapons, the muzzles could have been very close physically to where the lamps actually were. Either the concussion could have disturbed the flame or the continuing ignition of the black powder propellant for a distance past the exit from the muzzle might have exhausted available oxygen in proximity of the lamp.
I remember learning this song in elementary school some 40 years ago. Well, Old Dan Tucker, was a fine old man, Washed his face in a frying pan Combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died with a toothache in his heel Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper. Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper. Old Dan Tucker, he'd come to town Riding a billy goat, leading a hound The hound dog barked, the billy goat jumped Landed 'Ol Tucker on a stump! Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper Now Old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell In the fire and kicked up holy hell A red-hot coal fell in his shoe And oh my Lord the ashes flew Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper Get out the way! Old Dan Tucker, You're too late to get your supper Now old Dan Tucker has come to town Swinging them ladies all around First to the right and then to the left Then to the gal that he loves best Get out the way!

Thank you Josh, because of you I acquired a pair of reading glasses, in which my Granddaughter gets a dollar every time she declares they are on my Grey head. Seriously, love what you do. 👍
Dan Dan was a dirty old man, Washed his feet in a fryin pan, Picked hit teeth with a pigs toenail, Combed his hair with a donkey’s tail! Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker, He’s too late to get his supper. Supper’s gone, diner’s cookin, Old Dan Tucker just a standin there a lookin.
Always enjoyable content Josh. Thank You for the research effort to compile these episodes. Hope that You are doing better now. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
I love the idea the gunfights in Shakespeare often started with shouts of "Curly Bill! I knoweth though made the beast with two backs with my favorite harlot! I shall popeth a cap in thine ass!" Who knew?
Hey Josh, check out Six years with the Texas Rangers by James B Gillett. He served from 1875-1881, the book is a wealth of information on not only Texas Ranger history but also indian depredations in and around Texas, punitive expeditions against them afterward, the Salt Wars, John Wesley Hardin, chasing Victorio into Mexico, etc. An absolute wealth of knowledge and history. After the Rangers, he worked under Dallas Stoudemayer as deputy marshall in a town im sure you've heard of. Love your channel, keep up the good work. A Librivox recording is available on RUclips if you cannot secure a copy of the book.
Great to hear the story behind the name, "Dangerous Dan Tucker", who I've heard about only 2 or 3 times, and without any elaboration beyond mention of him bein a lawman. I'm watchin for your previous episodes, as I run across them, and watch any I have not seen, once in a while, I start one and realize I did see it already, an dependin, I watch it thru again. I don't know if you have heard of Bill McDonald, a Capt. in the Texas Rangers. Morenlikley, you have, though he ain't as well known as some Rangers got to be, his rangerin adventures were as 'wild an wooly' as any of even the best known, even more so, then some of Them. Anyhow, I know you would do a great episode or two, as usual, built around him. I will be watchin in case u do. Actually, I be watchin anyhow.All the best.
There is an old song, I’m 58 and my maternal Grandfather (born 1917 on the farm) used to sing every once in awhile. Usually when we were working in the garden or just at the river fishing for pan fish with the cane pole. Two in particular, I remember more than I thought I would “Buffalo Gals” (at least 50 verses) more importantly, “Get out the way Old Dan Tucker”…,anyone know if it was this Dan Tucker. (I’ll google it later on, but it also had at least 20 different verses.) He was a farmer from Birth till he was 30 or so in Eastern NC (Tobacco was king) and smoked after he got married for about 5-6 years and quit cold turkey using butterscotch candy.
Get out the way, of Ole Dan Tucker hes too late to get his supper suppers over and breakfast cookin, Ole Dan Tucker just stands there lookin. #3rd grade music class....Mrs. Sullivan participation was not optional ...non compliance swiftly dealt with via a wooden yardstick. 50+years later I still remember every song she taught us. Camptown Races still my favorite. thank you for the story sir
"Bust a cap." First encountered the term in, "Nam": thought it was slang coined by Black soldiers like, "Up in the war." Maybe that phrase predates Vietnam as well.... Just wanted to thank you for enlightening us on the origin of
@WildWestExtravaganza Congrats on another outstanding story! Well-researched, nuanced and narrated! Have to wonder if Dan was illiterate and that may have contributed to him being shunned or ignored by journalists and politicos?
From Canada? 🇨🇦 Maybe the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, then known as the North West Mounted Police, has some sort of record on him…if that was even his real name. This truly was a great narrative and Thank You.👍
I can see why the prisons back then weren't over crowded. Salt deeds for 1598??? I'll be there was a lot of Comanches around back then. I'm reminded of that song "Get out the way - old Dan Tucker." Perhaps his later drinking could be his using it as a pain killer for all those bullet wounds. One of the traits of psychopaths can be a lack of fear and trepidation. Handy traits for surgeons and early law men. Hollywood is dearly in need of a new Western along the lines of Silverodo. This one could just be titled Dan Tucker. Great story. Thanks.
Lots of pressure out the gap of revolvers cylinders and barrel! Possibly how Dan got some burn wonds ! Wasn’t there a little song about Old Dan Tucker lol thanks for the video!!
Thank you Josh . Love the wild West extravaganza content maybe one day you'll be able to do an episode on Irish gun fighter James H. Leavy from the book the deadly dozen.
Love your stories. I would love to hear you do a story on the Massacre of Wild horse Lake. It took place in the Oklahoma Panhandle between two Kansas towns. Oklahoma Panhandle was not part of the United States at the time it happened and the shooters all got off Scott Free. It is a good story you will like to read and probably like to tell
I'm glad I have found your channel! I like the duster movies and stories. I have run western rpgs and these videos give me great background information!
"Fare thee well, old Dan Tucker - Fare thee well I saaaay..." I recall Wayne Newton singing this while riding a horse (mule?) at the beginning of an episode of, "Bonanza."
Dan's shotgun was considered premium quality if made in Belgium. This lasted until about 1950. The longer the barrels the tighter the choke or bullet spread for hunting. Cutting them down to 19 inches converts the opening from a probable full choke to a cylinder bore. In other word. From a tight or smaller opening to the largest opening. The spread is bigger and shorter range. Both barrels at once could kill all three and their horses with 18 .36 caliber buckshot. That the man was hit 9 times means he got most of the shot. He was the one aimed at. The fact that 2 got away says they weren't so close together. This is how innocent bystanders can get hurt or killed.
I heard on another show that, some months after his death, inquires about his well-being were received from his family. It was discovered that Bill Tattenbamb came from a wealthy aristocratic family. He came to the old west for excitement.
"Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man Washed his face in a fryin' pan Combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died with a toothache in heel Get out the way for old Dan tucker You're too late to get your supper Get out the way for old Dan tucker You're too late to get your supper "

"Fare thee well, old Dan Tucker - Fare thee well I saaaay..." I recall Wayne Newton singing this while riding a horse (mule?) at the beginning of an episode of, "Bonanza."
Shakespeare is an awesome stop for anyone that likes visiting ghost towns. 100% recommended.
Hope to check it out one day
I don't recall if I've said it before, but DAMN love your content. Keep up the good work Josh.

Dan's shotgun was considered premium quality if made in Belgium. This lasted until about 1950. The longer the barrels the tighter the choke or bullet spread for hunting. Cutting them down to 19 inches converts the opening from a probable full choke to a cylinder bore. In other word. From a tight or smaller opening to the largest opening. The spread is bigger and shorter range. Both barrels at once could kill all three and their horses with 18 .36 caliber buckshot. That the man was hit 9 times means he got most of the shot. He was the one aimed at. The fact that 2 got away says they weren't so close together. This is how innocent bystanders can get hurt or killed.
New sub. Love the content, but it would be nice to have more reference photos orrr ur own subtitles.
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Yeah, that was a problem with mobs. The only mob that used a sight up sheet was Hedley Lamar's in Blazing Saddles.
I heard on another show that, some months after his death, inquires about his well-being were received from his family. It was discovered that Bill Tattenbamb came from a wealthy aristocratic family. He came to the old west for excitement.
Salute Mr. Porto!!
"Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in heel
Get out the way for old Dan tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way for old Dan tucker
You're too late to get your supper
