    Wow, it's unimaginable that a whole family would be this evil and hateful. What a story! I am surprised that back then a couple of the prison sentences were changed to a lesser degree. I don't think that was very common in those days. Ron, you really brought this story to life with your narration and the pictures that you showed. Great job! RIP to the ones who deserve to 💗💐

    You could read the ingredients off a box of cereal and make it sound interesting 😁
    Too bad they burned that place to the ground --who knows what might have been hidden under the floor boards.
    I saw a video where a man was fixing up his grandfather's old farm house - they took up the floorboards and found coins & jewelry & all sorts of things, they also found stuff in the downstairs staircase post.
    Living back in those days of your video here sounded like many led a pretty rough life indeed.
    As always thank you for another glimpse into a past we would not have known if it weren't for you videos.

    No way! Joplin, MO? I have an affection for the town and its neighbor Webb City, where I graduated High school in the mid 80s. I was sent from California to finish my last 2 years of HS because I was hanging out with a bad crowd. Still reminiscing about those teen years of weekend cruising, necking in “the boonies”, hanging out with the white kids and never felt any danger. I’m glad the Stafflebacks have been long gone.

    Hello. People who individually are unfortunately evil and do evil things are not so because of their racial makeup. Having Native American ancestry in and of itself does NOT explain or excuse their actions. There most certainly are many with Native American blood who are honorable and law Abiding.

    • @FacesoftheForgotten
      @FacesoftheForgotten  Месяц назад +9

      I think everyone today knows that people of Indian heritage today are good people. but it certainly shows the intense racism against Indians from back then. we have racism today, yes, but not like that - only the worst of idiots today equate Indian peoples with that reasoning mentioned from whispers of those citizens in the 1800's.
      by the way, I use the term "Indian" because it is a word proudly supported by most full blooded Indian peoples that I personally know, or have met in cities and reservations across our country.
      today there are those who are insulted by almost any word, and they want to change to what they feel are proper terms that do not even describe anything specific, and in the process, like in this example, diminish a heritage.
      it is like the term "illegal alien" that is now thought to be bad. they say they should be now called "undocumented immigrants". maybe they will eventually morph that into "legally-challenged citizens" next?

    Excellent story Ron, your narrative was brilliant, what a story, it makes you wish it was a story and make believe, that people aren’t that blood thirsty. I don’t know what time period is worst, back then or now, but I guess all time periods have had their bad people, as I was listening to you it kind of reminded me of Charlie Manson and his hippy girls and boys. Are you too young to remember them? Loved your video as always, keep them coming.❤
