@@legacyofthewest And thank you for the content! I could read about Doc Holliday all day long and you make that much easier! Honestly I thought I'd read everything there is to read about Doc but you keep coming with stuff I'd never heard before! Absolutely love it.
Yea I need to do some videos on Billy, I just don't have that much background with his story, the people I've been covering I've known about and read up on for years
@@legacyofthewest He’s maybe the most controversial and divisive figures of the West, a rustler turned straight by his rancher-patron only to lose him tragically and swept away in range war that killed him. Bad guy-turned-good-turned-bad again who tried to do the right thing just once for a chance at a new life, only to be betrayed and hunted down again and killed. You either love him or hate him. There’s no one analysis that fully captures this dude. An enigma for sure. (Oh by the way he was not left handed. That tin type was reversed. They know this because of the Winchester in that photo was all wrong. Imagine that.)
@@legacyofthewest I haven’t read this book but I’ve heard Michael Wallis speak extensively on Billy the Kid. He’s appeared on documentaries such as American Experience: archive.org/details/billykidendlessr00wall
Fact, They had no right to dissarm anyone unless they where planing on harming others with proof. Unarming anyone uner the constustional rights is wrong and in there own minds no one would dissarm them. And they had no right to pass any law for open carry laws. But they did, and they tried to own the town with there new laws. Now this is a diffrent new way to look at things. We all see the movies and the reasons for there movies. But in real life, they where a bunch of thugs trying to conrtol others, in there eyes, this is why they fought.
You are ignoring a lot of things. It was a city ordinance in a territory and no court ruling had challenged it by October 26 1881. The cowboys were running around town threatening to kill the Earps, so they felt their immediate lives in danger. The cowboys were known murderers. Even if it was unconstitutional for Marshall Earp to disarm them, they were behind a badge. The cowboys could have filed suit. The cowboys ran amok with little fear of the law. And the #1 thing you forgot to mention: IT WAS THE WILD WEST AND FRONTIER JUSTICE WAS NECESSARY.
That’s a typical Southern accent…. Not a Black Man…. Though it’s in interesting mistake.. American Black vernacular is highly rooted in Southern dialects…. I’d dare say Black vernacular is almost a time capsule of Old South accent…. It’s similar to how Latin turned into French and Spanish when the conquered people learned their own version of the language of their rulers.
oh snap its so cool, the whole process of you getting this uploaded. thanks for sharing your interest with us. this channel is awesome!

He describes him as having a sprinkling of grey hair.....He's only 31 years old in this interview. They had hard lives and got old quick.
Loving this channel. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks.
Tall tails have been around for centuries, Doc was a descent man, damn shame he had to go the way he did
Many of the so called outlaws were actually the decent and upstanding elements. The lawmen were usually as bad or worse than the outlaws.
None of us were around back then or knew any of them. None of us know if they were decent or not.
Parabéns pela excelente postagem ! Belo trabalho de pesquisa.
Possibly the reporter was jotting down docs words and confused a few things
Excellent!
Thanks!
Interesting that he claimed responsibility for arresting Curly Bill. Appropriating Wyatt's act to make himself look better to the reader.
Yup, at that point he was wanting to appear as good as possible to sway opinion
SUBSCRIBED !
Coolest thing on the internet.
Would have been nice to see a Billy the Kid bio on this day, July 14, 140th anniversary of his demise 💀
