    Special thank you to Jared Enos, for granting permission to use his colorized Old West photos in this video. See his other amazing photo transformations at: / photos
    Today we're looking at the historical appearance and clothing of Cowboys in the American West. For this week I used a variety of photo archives from the late-1800s. I also used primary source accounts from Hamlin Garland, and D.W. Wilder's 1882 book, 'The Annals of Kansas'. Additionally, I consulted an article by Emily Jane McTavish, Jared E. Decker, Robert D. Schnabel, Jeremy F. Taylor, and David M. Hillis titled, 'New World Cattle Show Ancestry from Multiple Independent Domestication Events,' that traced the migration of cattle from Europe to the New World. And last, I used an article by University of Washington professor, David Goldstein-Shirley called 'Black Cowboys in the American West: A Historiographical Review,' for statistics on cowboy ethnic and racial diversity in the American West during the late 1800s.
    About Man vs History: Man vs History is a RUclips channel that endeavors to combine both education and entertainment, specifically related to history. While the focus of the channel will expand beyond analyzing the historical accuracy of RDO, for the time being, there's still more quality videos to come on the topic. For the past decade I've been history professor at the college level. The knowledge and skills I acquired through my educational journey and profession are put to work in the creation of these videos, allowing me to locate rare primary source materials, analyze them carefully, and coherently deliver the content in an entertaining and educational manner.
    For each one I conduct an immense amount of research, scouring American and British archives, books, and scholarly journal articles. Gratefully, my profession also grants me access to a network of historical experts & specialists including authors, university professors, and museum curators. I hope you enjoy the end result!

      I often use an outfit made of the Valdez vest, tiltham hat, black shirt, bandito pants, plain black boots, leather gloves and a black bandana (never used). But I’m really stuck between using one made that looks like Russell Crowe as Ben Wade in 3:10 to Yuma out of the black marshal coat, blue shirt, paisley vest, bandito pants, plain black boots, leather gloves, and tiltham hat or one that’s basically the same but instead uses a black shirt, red bandana, and a black leather vest (can’t remember the name)
      Though what irks me the most is the ones that get gold and black metals and varnish with some bright inlay color engraving. Something about a gold double barrel I can’t stand

    I will hand it to you. You have gotten it completely accurate. My family has been involved with cattle for about 170 years, be it cowboys on drives or ranchers. And you got the look of the northern cowboys spot on in your video. I still dress that way for working on my Families Colorado/Wyoming ranch. So props to you on doing your research and getting honest, accurate information.

    • @ManvsHistory
      @ManvsHistory  3 года назад +81

      Yeah, in my research for the video I came across some primary source documents talking about how the first settlers in Texas had so many wild cattle wandering around that they built their herds by bringing them in. I'd personally love to see this added to the game. For instance, locating 2 or 3 of them outside Tumbleweed and driving them up to my ranch near Emerald Station. Same with wild horses. Break em and bring em in. Of course the option to buy would be good too, but a combination of the two would be best, imo.

      @austingarrett6498 3 года назад +5

      It really depends on a lot of factors, like what area and what year of the war you’re trying to replicate.
      For an early war confederate cavalry uniform, I use a yellow union cap (colored kepis were used early in the war to signify what kind of soldier you were- light blue for infantry, red for artillery, and yellow for cavalry), an unbuttoned white or light grey collared over shirt/ everyday over shirt or red/ dirty white union suit, light blue clerk pants, black preacher’s pride or cavalry boots, an agency gun belt, and a grey or tan military jacket.
      For late war you’d probably keep the shirt options the same, maybe a plaid unbuttoned collared over shirt. Keep the gun belt and boots the same. Change the pants to either brown or the dirty tan clerk pants, make the military jacket tan, and use either a brown, yellow, or grey union cap. For a hat you could also use a brown or light tan military scout hat. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of accurate-looking flat-brimmed hats you can buy. If they made the brim on the military scout hat a little wider, it would be perfect.

    Note on the horses for a historically accurate cowboy:
    Alot of people don't like Morgans because of their size but they're actually the most realistic in terms of size. Western horses weren't big, cowboys had stocky and plucky little cowponies that were tough and could survive on little food (all traits typical to smaller horses).
    If you want a good, historically accurate, equine partner your best bet is the Morgan, Kentucky saddler, American Paint, Mustang, or Appaloosa. Missouri fox trotters and Arabians did exist but those were for the rich and likely not suitable to the harsh conditions of a cattle drive.

      Upon more research this is actually a contested issue. Bass Reeves, the black deputy US Marshall is the guy you are referring to here. But John Hughes, a Texas Ranger, may also have been the inspiration. There are a lot of similarities in the successful careers of both men, but the author of 'The Lone Star Ranger,' the book the series is based on, dedicated his work to Hughes. The jury is still out.
