    He was larger than life. At least history made him out to be. He was one of the last old west greats. Thank you for sharing his story.

    I loved this one! You two have gotten so good at putting everything together. The music was perfect for the subject matter, which was presented just right. So glad I clicked when youtube suggested your video way back when. Just gets better and better.

    I learned this story in Deadwood in the 1960s when I was a teenager and to this day i avoid sitting with my back to the door if at all possible. Ancient advice to ambassadors, "Sit with you back to a solid wall and don't drink the wine (a favorite vehicle for poison)."

    I'm in Georgia and have heard different things about the Civil War, specifically Covington, Georgia. I was wondering if you would do a "Walk with History" about Covington Georgia? Great Video as always! It's awsome to see the citizenship still keeping history with the horse drawn coaches! Can Do!

    @@WalkwithHistory Certainly looks it. KOOL..I guess I read to many Old West magazines in my summers as a kid, my Dad's brother in law subscribed to a Dozen Old West magazines in the 60s. Thus always something to read at hand. Had over a hundred boxes full stored in the attic. All with Gory art on the Covers....

    Heard wild bill's story many times, but calamity jane never seems to get much attention! I think 1 other youtube channel went a little more in depth about her, and wow was it a depressing tale! Life really was hard back there, especially for independent women! Great video as always, thanks for that.
