    Right in the beginning you touched on how hot in was in Arizona in some of these towns, I thought about that when visting Tombstone and it was brutally hot. Like I wonder how the heck they stayed cool, especially when everyone was in long pants. Great editing and solid video brother, see you around. Never occurred to me that Tombstone was kinda new when the shootout happened.

    Howdy Santee! Such a great topic! An interesting point was that in the opening narration of Tombstone, they implied the amount of prosperity there by "... the latest Paris fashions are sold from the backs of wagons." It also was quite fortuitous that the California gold rush had petered out and that Ed Schieffelin made a fortune there. When you add in the preserved cargo of the Steamship Arabia, the many (reproductions) of mail order catalogs, one can really start piecing together some of the reality of how the old west towns would have really been. (Just don't put Mr. Eastwood in charge of painting the town or it'll wind up red!) Thanks again for another wonderful start of the weekend!

    I experienced first hand, the issues you discussed today, Santee. The second half of my growing up was spent in & around an old turn of the century mining town which was flourishing again due to a large manufacturing plant that had located there. Next door were a couple of less prosperous remnants that looked like they hadn't changed since the 1890's. They would have been good Hollywood locations for some sort of dystopian, Alien invasion movie :) Amazing how kids & teenagers gravitate to those places to hang out & get up to all sorts of mischief .......

    Santee, What a great subject!👍 I think the town is it's own character in every western movie. I have toyed with the idea of building a partial western town on my place to film YT videos. So far, the furthest I've got is a 1/4 scale saloon that I used effectively in forced perspective shots. When I designed the building I researched the quintessential western saloon (from cinema) and I was surprised how hard it was to come up with such a thing we all picture in our minds. There was so much variation. PS: I agree the argument over authenticity in old west cinema is overblown.

It was the end of one of three cattle drives from Texas to the Union Pacific Rail Road and was wilder than Dodge city and Abilene put together. Our Boot Hill extended far beyond what the city planners thought. In the mid '70's 16 skeletons were unearthed north of the Hill while a new housing development was being built. (Last bit was to pique your interest). Thanks, Harmagiddo.

    While watching a Family Feud compilation, one of the survey question was "what's your fantasy job if you lived in the old West" and it made me wonder if the "Wild West" as portrayed in the media (filled with gabling saloons full of violent drunken cowboys ready for a duel at any moment, among other clichés) was anything like the actual West in the 1800s. It prompted me to do a "myth of the wild west" Google search, and it's how I found this video.

  • @ArizonaGhostriders

    Glad you found it. Thanks for watching! By the way, saloons were filled with cowboys, gamblers, soldiers, con men and the alcohol flowed. Just like today, violence brought on by too much testosterone and booze was very evident. There are dozens of newspaper clippings that show gun and knife violence in and around saloons in the Old West. So, those clichés are based on factual instances.

    You did see a few old movies where boom towns were depicted somewhat accurately with bars in tents and the main street looking like a freshly plowed field. Sometimes you'd even see people working on building a house or store in the background. But films had a lot tighter budgets and shooting schedules back in the day so we have to allow them certain shortcuts as they tell their story. Sort of like having wagons filled with "heavy crates" but being hauled by two horses instead of four or six, just because finding teams and drivers trained for that kind of rig would have cost too much time and money to organize.

    Another excellent video, Santee! Old town myths are a good topic. My ancestor wrote what towns were like, generally clean, presentable, and welcoming. White wash was used a lot. Towns needed to grow post Civil War to advertise to new people who wanted to live there or even tourists who wanted to experience what it was like. My ancestor had to answer every question asked of him, with strict manners and respect. Towns were described as having a day life and nightlife, pre-dawn life with the cleaning. Anyways, excellent video, Santee!

    I guess because there are tropes that have been ingrained in our culture about how the town or setting should look. A dusty street. A desert setting Sun dried and cracked paint Rough looking people. But the true to life situation is more complex and nuanced. A boomtown might start off as a patch of tents, then evolve into some rough buildings made from rough lumber and scraps. Then if the money comes in or the town burns down a few times bricks and heavy iron doors. Hell, i would like to see a 'western' set in the Pacific North West in the 1800s or up in Alaska in Skagway or Dyea. A nice change of scenery.

I know I've mentioned it before, but since the success of the True Grit remake, The number of western films has gone up. Odds are though most were to ride the coat tails of the remake of True Grit and the quality of those... vary.

    I knew since I was little that Hollywood doesn't often get the Old West quite right. For instance, the old TV show, "Wyatt Earp" showed Earp clean-shaven and with a modern, short hair cut. In fact, back in the 1950's-1960's, all the "good guys" were clean-shaven and with modern short hair cuts. I've been noticing lots of scenery were reused from TV show to TV show and from movie to movie. Monument Valley was re-used in different scenes in the 1930's John Wayne film, Stagecoach, no matter how far the characters were travelling.

    Great Episode, I always thought that unless it was a tent city, that the towns were well maintained. It is just human nature to take pride in your home or business. I once helped a friend restore a Victorian Painted Lady, sanding carefully we found several colors were used including purple in the original paint. I didn't see why houses out West would not be done similar, They might be less fancy in color scheme, due to the cost of ordering the paint but they would have taken the same pride, in the their buildings.

He finds tons of old medicine bottles and whisky and beer bottles from 1870s to 1910. Just interesting and of course these privys were behind the buildings for obvious reasons. Love all your videos been subscribed for a long time. Cheers from Surprise Arizona 🍻🌵😎👍
