- After watching a western, or playing Red Dead Redemption, have you wondered what it would be like to walk the streets of a western town? What kind of world did famous wild west figures, like Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James and Billy the Kid live in? With these 100 photos of towns during the wild west, learn from photographic evidence what towns during the wild west looked like. With these photos you'll see the same streets that settlers, miners, saloon girls, lawmen and outlaws saw when they traveled out west on the frontier.
My great grandpa went to the Yukon in 1898. Most land in Dawson City was claimed. 1899 WI ter he traveled down the Yukon to Nome. In 1900 he hooked up with an English mining company and went to Rhodesia Africa. In 1904 he came back to Missouri, briefly, then went to Alaska on Copper River prospecting. In 1910, he went to Zacaticas, Mexico then came back to Lovelocks, Nevada Gillette, Wyoming and finally Alma, Colorado where in 1920 he was victim of "Spanish" Flu and died on the train from Fairplay to Denver. He's buried in Meeker, Colorado. Name James Madison Garrison
Que gran anécdota! Es bueno respetar y recordar a nuestros mayores! Saludos cordiales! Desde Montevideo, Uruguay!
Wyatt Earp helped build the town of Nome.
What a wonderful history your family has. A lot to remember, admire and respect. Quite an adventure. I hope you have it on paper? 🤠
Dont sound like he had anytime for a family, let alone anybody close in his life to recall all his travels🤔
I was married in Dawson in 1995 after a two-week canoe trip down a couple of Yukon rivers. I was 45 years old and it was one of the greatest adventures of my life. To me the Yukon is one of the most magical places on earth and in Dawson you can virtually feel the grit and determination of those who came to find their fortune panning for gold.
Of course I do not believe in harming the burrows who, many times had to suffer from overburdened work 😮
What a wonderful historical record.
The realization that less than 2 lifetimes have elapsed between then & now, so that the son of a young man seen here may be alive today is astonishing, & the contrast of great achievement is truly stark.
Thank you.......Aust.
The son of a man born in 1883 is highly unlikely. A grandson, yes.
My GG Granfather had a general/mining store in Rockerville, SD in 1870's-80's.Thanks for crediting the picture. Now I have something to see of where he lived and worked.
Hollywood paints a pretty picture of the Old West, but seeing those photos shows how gritty it was. I see a lot of hard work and very little comfort. Freezing cold in the winter, blazing hot in the summer. Going to the outhouse must have been an adventure in the winter.
Not all were small towns. Their was plenty to keep a man busy and entertained in or around most communities. Especially the larger boom towns and cities.
If you're talking about a secluded homestead, well, that was usually how they wanted it. Outhouses/privy were obviously required, however most used a chamber pot instead of venturing out in the cold or dead of night. On the trail, a hole and a handshake.
One can not equate today's values with theirs nor view it through a modern lense anymore than they could ours.
I think while cattle trails and dusty small towns certainly lacked comfort, they made up for it in the other more creative ways.
Dodge City, Tombstone, Abilene, Santa Fe, Mesilla, El Paso, Deadwood and larger cities offered everything a man could want...booze, women, food and a place to sleep.
Now, for a typical female...that's a rather harsh life, a limited lifespan, hygiene & minimal reality of making any real "living" during that time.
Imagine having the flu and chills and having to drag your sick behind out to the outhouse on a cold wet windy winter night. Or worse yet, deal with it out on the trail. That would have been awful.
@@redwatch1100 now, you're getting it. I would always worry about what spider or other nasty creature hanging just under the seat of the outhouse. Then, breathing the horrific fumes from the hole under the outhouse. Nothing romantic about that shit.
@artisaprimus6306 : My mother and father lived in the country of TX & OK, respectively. Both said that it was dicey in the middle of the night to make the trip out to the outhouse and hear the rattle of a rattler coming from somewhere in the dark.
@@skipperclinton1087 Yikes!
I LOVE SEING OLD PICTURES 😊
8.27: What those burros had to endure back then. God Bless them. Great time travel
I just finished watching this video with such great pictures of my favorites era. It was nice to have more time to really view a picture before the next one appeared. The music is great. Thank you once again for taking me back into what I personally consider a great and interesting time. Of course the picture of Tombstone is a reminder of my favorite Marshall Wyatt Earp. Again thanks and keep being history from the Wild Wild West. Love ❤️ it!
Thank you Renee! After many photo videos I think I finally found a good amount of time for each video to appear on screen.
Seeing these old photos is amazing. Takes a person back to this time period indeed.
Lots of muddy streets in the wet seasons.
Love these old photos. To see them in color would be amazing. Thank you for sharing.
We are so lucky they had the film in those days to take these photos.
Yes we are!
so true
Fantastic Fido and the music is tremendous.
Hey RUclipsrs, this is how you do it. Substantial pauses at each photo so you can take it in, a clear description and date at the bottom of each photo, and mild, non-obnoxious music in the background. Great job.
How hard for the people to build this beautiful country before and how the people try to destroy it now…it’s so very sad . Thank you for up loading this!
I can NOT even imagine living back in those times. The average lifespan was < 40 years. Virtually no communication, tansportation was a maximum of about 25 miles/day by horse drawn wagon or horseback. Often people were born, lived, died within a 50 mile radius and had NO idea of lives beyond that range.
And appreciated their world all the more
The same story in all other countries of the world.
a man could only travel as fast a horse could gallop
Until the railroads came
Thank you so much for showing those "Old West" pictures. It was riveting.👍
An amazing collection of photos,also amazing how you obtained them all.Did't see anyone wearing a gun, no one dressed like a 'cowboy' like you see in the movies.
Superb collection of photos. Have you ever thought of doing a then and now photo comparison? Be interesting to see how these old wild west towns look today ;)
I've wanted to go to some of these towns and try and recreate the old photos by standing in the same area and using the same angles, but I don't have the time right now unfortunately.
How many of those towns exist today?
Thanks for listing the sources, and for giving us photos that have not been shown a hundred times already.
Very cool pics! I love pics from the old western days!
I would hate to be drunk or a sleepwalker in Cerro Gordo. One misstep, and it's "Rawhide." You know, 🎵Rollin', Rollin, Rollin.🎵
Lol!
I went to Cerro Gordo in '97. It was deserted and really creepy!
I'm proud to say my ancestors lived in the United states in this time period. I was glad to see the photo of Dodge City as my great-great-grandfather homesteader just north of there. He proved up his land. Most Americans cannot claim this as there ancestors were not here at that time. You had to be hardy, resourceful & tough-skinned to survive the Wild West.
Mine to .. BUTTE MONTANA AND MIDLAND TEXAS !!!
@@ChasOnErie Isn't the Bush family from Midland?
Must folks died rather young true u had rather Very Very hardy and probably could eat anything 2. have survived
Janis Joplin came from such stock like those folks that came on covered wagons! Tough Folks!
And they had 2 stand up 2 folks 2 keep people places or things that belonged 2 them
I love the bodie picture . I went there as a child and that place had a huge impact on my life.
Been to Bodie 3 times and loved it all. But I really liked Bannick Montana And the hotel is haunted.
Outstanding job! Awesome soundtrack too. My two favourites I’ve spent time in were Sutter Creek, CA and Virginia City, NV
How difficult live was that at that time, people didn't last long.
For woman I seen photos of an beautiful young lady from England and ending up marrying an young fellow immigrated to the United States in the 1900. After 10 years she looked like an old stressed, delusion,brocken lady.
Its always nice to see what it looked like in photos from days gone by.
These pics were sooo cool to see!!! I am an "Old West" aficionado n TOTALLY LOVE the fact that you gathered these ab fab photos n presented them so I could enjoy them n out real pics to the names of the MANY cities I have been to and studied over my ,66 yrs. WOW!!! Wonderful video!!! Thank you for posting,!!!
Interesting to see so many young trees in the Oregon photos.
As I keep watching I see the same young tree growth in the other states too:)
Very good of you to credit all of your sources. 👍🏻
Love this. I just re-installed Red Dead Redemption 2 yesterday. LOL Thanks for this. It's motivational. i still love westerns and trains!
I need to play RDR2 again
1697, the area that is now known as Falls Church, Pennsylvania , then moved on to New Holland.
Family members from both sides have participated in every war from the Revolution to Vietnam, fought for both sides of the Civil War.
The names of both sides of my family are on many road signs in both Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as Gettysburg and Vicksburg monuments.
Really good and cool 😎 music
Great photos. I've been to ten of those places " now", nice to see the "then".
Great pictures. Spent a good part of my youth in Bozeman, Montana.....The rich have flat ruined that once wonderful little city.
I live in Phoenix and have been down Washington Street plenty times. I'll look at it a little differently from now on after seeing it in this video and knowing what it used to look like back when. A whole lot can change in the course of a hundred or so years.
In my humble opinion, I do believe that the days of old were much BETTER than the current times 😅❤
In alot of ways I agree.....
very, very good! thank you!
F I N A L L Y ...! A true, historical truth , encapsulated with GREAT MUSIC....for a change, on RUclips. Thanks, to all involved. Most U tube videos, use crap / noise, for ? music ? GOOD ON YOU A L L .........'' on with the show ! ;;'
Thanks!
Wish I could just step into any one of these pictures visit for awhile.
Love it , love our history .
nice music
My Grandma use to talk about coming to Ft Worth, Tx in a covered wagon as a little girl ...i see that kind of stuff here ...wow
My family was from Vernal, Utah. My Grandfather was born there in 1888. He told me that when he was a young boy as I was at the time. They would go see the outlaws when they heard they were in town. He said he remembers seeing and talking about Butch Cassidy as he was going into a bar on South Vernal Ave. Vernal, Utah was one of the town the outlaws frequented a round the turn of the century. I'm guessing I was around 10 or 12 when he told me this, as he said he was. It stuck in my memory because we were down town at the time and he pointed out the bar door.
Fantastic photos ! Really amazing vídeo !
Interesting thought is that if the two small children at 1:44 lived till they were 65 years old, they would have lived a whole lifetime and been dead by 1955. Life sure is short.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you very much. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What a great collection of photographs, simply beautiful 🌹
The Douglas Avenue, Wichita taken in 1878 is actually Delano, Kansas. Delano was incorporated in the the city of Wichita in 1880. I spent some of my youth in the Delano District of Wichita
2:38 Time. N O T E. The ' engineering ' thinking, of that upper deck. Good. Deck floor, is NOT the roof ! Water drainage, was well-thought, out, beforehand. UNLIKE TODAY, where there is no thought, of / nor about drainage. Just, greed : '' git 'er done ''. ONLY one reason, so many people, admire FACTUAL HISTORY....of whom, i am chief.
thank you for not zooming in on these photos the way other RUclips channels think it's necessary to do... I want to look at the photo as it was taken.
Wonderful video ... just great... I was born in 1940 and felt like it was near me. I love westerners and the west and sometimes which I was their, but this is the closest I will get ... My dad was a doctor and we went on house calls and people were just nice..I believe I have lived through the golden age of America when men were really free. .. thanks for your video
i totally agree well said sir im 83 born 1941
Even tho I am a Canadian, I am also a worldwide history buff. Love these old photos..
To think every single person in these photo and everyone they ever knew are all long gone.. Our time here on Earth is relatively short.. In a distant future the people of the 2100s will view our photos the same.. They’ll always wonder what life was like during our lifetime same we wonder and admire watching this bygone era..
Very interesting to see what it was like in those days.
Makes you realise how lucky you really are today.....life could be really hard in those days....
,nice from uk granny
THE OFFICE SALOON in Battle Wyoming circa 1887 ??? So we were ALREADY saying "I'll be late at THE OFFICE honey, back then?
Thanks for the video.......it was a hoot.
This is awesome! Thanks for putting it all together!
Glad you liked it!
my weird brain wonders what they were doing when the picture was taken, what conversations were being had and where did they go after.
I love the history of the West. ❤️
How were these photos taken? Pinhole cam? I don't think Eastman Kodak was around then 😢.
😊 nice music excellent pictures 😊
Thank you
AWESOME FASCINATING PHOTOS. I LOVE THE OL WEST. VERY GOOD PICTURES. AT TIMES I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND IN THIS TIME PERIOD....
Two 👍👍 Up 🤠
Awesome!!
So Cool, Thanks for sharing.
8:16 Leadville, CO is the highest elevation of any city in USA at over 10,000 feet.
Fascinating pics
pretty amazing, the desolation in some of these photos, i noticed Studebaker wagons on one wall of a building, and eatna insurance on another town shot. a lot of electric poles in some of these, just amazing what it must have been like back in the 1880's. neat video.
Muy bueno! Crecí viendo películas del oeste Norteamaricano! Vestían igual! Hicieron bien si trabajo los cineastas! 🤔😅🙋🏻♂️🇺🇾
And these are the “GOOD OLD DAYS “ ! It’s all in when and where you lived ! Hard work for woman and man ! Each GENERATION makes improvements on their fathers work and invented machines to make work easier for both man and woman ! We take these improvements for granted ! I personally thank GOD ( NOT TRUMP ) for these labor saving inventions ! 👍🏻
I went to the Cooke County Museum in my hometown of Gainesville, Texas about 6 or 7 years back for the first time ever. I found an immigration pamphlet that was originally published in the 1880s and bought it for $2. It was packed full of information about the area during that time. The goal of the pamphlet was to get folks to move to the area, so it had information about crops, the climate, what sort of people populated the area, what sort of people they were hoping to attract, the businesses on the town Square and even spoke about a major fire that had burned most of the buildings several years prior (including the courthouse and post office), and it listed some of the prominent citizens as well as the elected officials. I've lost that pamphlet over the years. I really wish I could find it. I'm sure it's packed in a box somewhere if my ex didn't throw it away back when she was around. Wouldn't surprise me.. she threw away everything lol.
Hello from Kansas
Hello how are you doing today
What is truly amazing is the incredible brickwork on some of the buildings. The ornate designs are unbelievable to believe they were built back then. How did they manage such a feat with muddy roads with horse and cart?
Back then building craftsmanship was an art and was something carpenters and bricklayers just did.
My grandfather he met and started a business venture
with Wyatt Earp in Nome, Alaska "The Dexter Hotel on main st
hs wife Josie ran the upstairs bawdy house
Earp told grandad about his times in Dodge city ,,Tombstone
and other boomtowns ,,,,i have conformation in writing
in letters sent by grandad to my grandma back in Utah
Interesting reading how the west really was not Hollywood's version ,,,,,
Thanks for bringing the past forward ❤
Imagine living in those times before there was any central air and heating..Oh oh, and an indoor flushing toilet.. Regardless, I'd wish I have a time machine and travel back to those days and mingle around a bit, lol
Thank you great pictures I enjoy learning about our history.
My great grandparents days, great video
Bare, baren , no grass, no landscapes, no greenish lands, but now all America is green full of woods, grassy places and greenish lands, something astonished
I visited tombstone 40 years ago and it was pretty awesome. In Bisbee AZ the town still looked the same too
I was fascinated with the men's and women's clothes. They looked nothing like the depictions in old western movies where everyone looks like they just came from a dude ranch. Most of the men seem to have worn suits and vests and the women had very long and plain dresses.
I like the photo of Tonopah, Nevada before the extraterrestrials and secret government took it over!
That was great. Thanks!
Hello how are you doing today
'brings me back...
Well done Thanks
Observei que não havia pessoas obesas nesta época. De São Paulo Brasil.
Thank you for this !
I've been playing too much rdr2 and I don't regret it
Excellent ‼️🥰
Excellent history!
Very good video, loved the song at the end.
Very groovy.
Red Dead Redemption 2 kicks ass. It must have been awesome living in America then.
Another RINO bites the dust!
I’m from gold rush territory in California. Only one photo of Sutter Creek. How bout some photos of Placerville, Columbia, Sonora, Fiddletown , Drytown, Frogtown, Angels Camp, Jamestown, Mariposa, Bootjack, Coursegold, Colterville, Dogtown , Hangtown, etc.😊
Back in the good olde days , toll made strong backs and sturdy minds . Today money is made with fiction and trivia , it was a good time .
Amazing photos of historical day's gone by but not exactly the good old days.
The good old days were often NOT the good old days.
1894 and 1905 where are the automobiles?? and to think , a measley 60 some yrs later we were on the moon!!
