One element i miss from those days was the real justice to serial murders. the Harpe's received what they sowed. Thank you , Ron for another impressive presentation.

The Harpe brothers are truly evil and nothing short of their deaths would have stopped them from carrying on their murdeous rampage, RIP to all of their victims.☹🙏

H.H Holmes is always talked about being Americas first documented serial killer, when really, it was these monsters.

Yeah far as I can tell, Harpes are first for North America. There probably was some native American pre Columbian serial killers of course, but nobody wrote that down.

Man's inhumanity to man is truly unbelievable. The Harpe Brothers deserved no mercy for the atrocities they committed "just for fun" or because they were "annoyed." I'd never heard this story, Ron. Thanks for sharing it.

A lot of psychopaths in history. And the weird thing is we vote them into high offices, elect them as politicians, they do well in the military and usually rise high and fast through the ranks, we call them priest or preacher, and a lot of us work with these sick, twisted freaks on a daily basis. I think psychopaths are more common than we like to admit, but violent psychopaths that commit murder are a lot less common. Probably only a handful of psychopaths will go on to murder someone (although any and all of them are capable of it. They have no remorse and no conscience). It sure is strange how we look for those psychopathic qualities in leaders.

Good God Almighty! Those two heads couldn't have found a better place than on a stick! Thanks Ron. Great story!😊❤

Thanks for this story Ron, I was not familiar with this story. Those guys were evil monsters to murder all those people and that horse. That were really brutal to kill babies and young children. I know where their souls went. I'm glad justice was served on both of them. They got what they deserved. Take care Ron. Looking forward to your next video,.

Never heard of these evil men! Thank you for another great story!

I lost count of how many men, women, and children they killed. It's absolutely horrific. What kind of woman would want to be with a man like those two??? I can't imagine 😢 Thank again Ron for a fantastic trip to the past. ❤️

They were probably sick just like them. Clearly. Only women get a free pass and aren't held accountable for their actions, especially if a man or men are present to be held accountable. Even when women are held accountable, 90% of the time they're slapped on the wrist. We're more likely to punish 13 year old boys than grown women. That's sickening.

Dangerous to travel alone; with these Harpe brothers Ron it was certainly deadly to travel with them. Thank you Ron for bringing this story to light and for your helper who found the graves of the Harpe's victims . Truly evil people.😵

Thanks!

The way he butchered these ppl, was horrible. Then to kill defenseless babies? Wow, that is just morbid. what a despicable person to have to do these things. They got what they deserved in the end. I loved the way u narrated this story, & the old photos, Ron, they were so awesome.❤️👌 Thank you for sharing this story with us. God Bless.

What horrid, horrid people! Truly evil! Thank you for the story, Ron. It just staggers my mind!

Thank you Mr Speedcraw for locating those graves , I'll wager it was not an easy task . Thanks Ron for producing yet another great video , especially a vicious tale about a couple of demonic minded & heartless killers . I think it would of been appropiate to prolong Big Harpes death out for days , but then , we are supposed to be civil , and not sink to their level . I probably would of sunk to their level , especially after he murdered my wife & children .

The music, and pictures, and best of all the way you told this story, made it so gripping! Pure evil does exist in the world, exhibited by the Harpe Brothers. The poor women involved too, can't even imagine the horrors. Fascinating tale Ron!

What a story! Our frontier settlers faced so many dangers, and then they had to be wary of pirates and serial killers, too! Thanks for another fascinating episode which was so enjoyable from the period artwork to the nice music!

Actually, they were cousin brothers. They had distant relatives in Chicago, by the name of Carlson.

I started watching your channel a few months ago, I absolutely love your wonderful storytelling. It’s so important what you are doing. I am in NC, lots of stories here. Thank you for the historical information. The Harp brothers were indeed monsters 👺

Chilling and fitting ends for them all.

Excellent episode, both horrific and fascinating, they were simply monsters !!!! Thanks so much Ron you never disappoint

Another great history lesson thank's for sharing this ron...

Great story Ron 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍

Now, this should be a movie!!! Not to be creepy, but man I could listen to you narrate for hours. 🤘🤘

There is a GUNSMOKE episode that refers to Wiley Harpe as being the grandfather of two young boys. I know there is no way it is connected but they talked about how mean Wiley Harpe was. Just little trivia.

What an incredible story. I wonder if the pirates of the cave had known of the bounty if they would have killed the Harpes, because at that point, the Harpes might have met their match. In the end, no justice for those mass killers. Have a great day and take care. 🙂

Great video Sir, you’re an amazing story teller!

Thank you for another unsettling history story ❤

I’m sorry, but for the killings they did, especially to babies and children, I think I would have done the same … made them die slowly. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. Thank you, Ron, again for another part of history. 🇺🇸❤️

Wow! that's an amazing story RC! and one thing for sure, the Harpe brothers will not being playing the harp to where they're going!!! GREAT STORY RC! G t E.

Fascinating Ron, I've never heard of the Harpe brothers before this. I bet this was a story told by winter fires back in the 18th & 19th centuries. You did it very well, I' d be wanting an escort out in to the dark of the outdoors toilet after that ! Around the same era in Scotland we had Sawney Bean and his cannibal family, but they had their good points😂, unlike the Harpe brothers they didn't kill their children, probably because they were useful for inbreeding and extending the clan. Also they restricted their hunting ground to around their cave.

Awesome Ron. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I love the way you tell a story, you feel like you're there

WOW! THANK YOU RON! You are the best story teller, I've ever had the pleasure to listen too. You made these horrible men come alive, as I listened, thank you! I couldn't stop listening to the story, unbelievable, thank you! Sometimes its hard to believe there were and are people as these two monsters. I've always been interested in going to cemeteries, since i was very young. Always wondering who the people were and what they did in life. Like you say the ones with picture's were very interesting and also my favorite. When i saw your name and title on Utube, i was sure glad to find you. I can't get to the graves anymore, but through your videos it has been the best, thank you again! God Bless you and yours Ron!⚘

I haven't had a chance to watch in a couple of weeks so i'm catching up.Thank you so much for doing what you do❤

The Harpe brothers DESERVED everything they got!!🤬😡 May their poor victims Rest In Peace!! XXXX 😥💔🌹

The Harpe Bros would fit right in out in California, Seattle, or Portland. They'd love the 21st century!

Monsters at large!! Its a great story for a horror movie!!! Thanks Ron 👍

Thank you Ron for this piece of history. Of these heartless brothers. And have a great day

I could watch your videos 24/7😊keep up the good work.🎉

Good story, Ron. I never heard of these guys. Glad they got what was coming to them.

This would make an interesting horror movie. These dudes were hellions. Sick.

I've been watching your channel for quite a while....... I would have to say the best one. I think the justice system these days could learn something from this.

Anytime I hear these stories, it makes me wonder what makes these people into such monsters. Sure times were hard, but that was for everyone, so there had to be more to it. It does make me wonder if some monster's are really just born that way.

This story is so insane! Thank you again Ron for a truly scary story.

Good job on this adventurous tale! I enjoyed this one. Thank you!

Really appreciate and enjoyed this so well done Ron your hard is appreciated❤

These men were the evilest of evil. To kill someone is one thing, but to kill babies, and your own kids, they were truly heartless monsters. When they were all captured the first time or the second time, they should have been killed on the spot for their crimes and alot of peoples lives would've been saved, unfortunately it didn't happen that way. Thank you Ron for telling us this sad, but interesting story.

What a wicked tale….nicely done Ron.

Such a great story teller. Thank you!

​@FacesoftheForgotten Thank you Ron for all the hard work you do.

Good job. Thanks Ron.

I’m from Mississippi and one of the most haunted places in Natchez is King’s Tavern. It’s said you can sometimes hear a baby crying and they believe it to be the ghost of the baby that the Harpe brother killed when he grabbed the baby by the feet and swung it into the wall to hush it. They say the Harpe brother, after murdering the baby, went back to the bar to order another drink while laughing about it 😡😭

Thank you for sharing this history lesson Mr Ron! I've never heard of these evil men. Another great video ❤

Mr Carlson has tapped into an amazing reservoir of stories. Gathered from his many fans. Sheds light onto & dispell the myths. Of what we thought where ( The good ole days ! ) As if tuberculosis, Spanish flu, .Fights over land rights with natives. Hadn't killed enough of our frontier ancestors. You have the horror of the Harpe family. Yes I count the wives as evil as the two brothers. Would kill without hesitation those who showed them nothing but kindness and hospitality. Glad they both got there "just due", in the end. Thank-you Ron for yet another story. That sets history straight!😮
