Thanks for this! Floyd was my great-great uncle. Fascinating old gentleman when I knew him. I interviewed him about his WWII experiences for the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies in the early 1990s. The interview is available through BYU for anyone interested in barnstormers in the West. He had a photo album from those days - I hope was donated to an archive.

What a beautiful human.

This a hell of a video. Thanks for posting this. 🤠

His comment about water still hits in 2024

We think thats why indians leave their sites in our west USA.

Also Russian knew the affects of uranium, they don't share their findings so people get sick and die.

Some human bodies can handle radiation, some can not, wood lands indians know snake don't like pee and poo good to spread around camp.

There has been abuse…N terms of…. If u knew….why continue it? 😮23.00

I love his books!

This is a good story but there is an other side to it. I ran a uranium mine near slick rock Co, and had 8 Navaho miners who made a fantastic living with what was paid to miners! I was told many times that they could not find a job even at a third of what they were being paid. We followed all the laws and kept ventilation above the minimum requirements! The Navajo miners were the best workers I ever worked with!

Incredible! 🤩

He was a hero for me. I was a river rat in the ‘70s in the SW. I met him at the San Juan R. put in Bluff,UT..went to his memorial at Arches. Desert Solitaire. Monkey Wrenching,activities I blame on Cactus Ed. Thought of him lately at Lithic Bookstore,Fruita,CO..oh,I still have one of my old ammo cans,its got an old Belknap Grand Canyon River Guide in it. I blame Ed 😋 An aphorism (with dated photo) 25:36 25:36 guide always stuck with me and reminds of Ed Abbey ..”Girls grill golden brown pork chops where Powell party spread meager rations”. ~ Thanks Ken for the ammo can review.

DID EVERYONE KNOW THAT IT WAS MARIE OSMOND ASKED HER 2ND HUSBAND BRIAN TO MARRY HER. I BET YOU ALL DIDN'T KNOW THAT DID YA!!!

Love to see this Eric. Thanks for uploading a short.

Where was the original spot where Abby's trailer located?

I was just in havasupai in March. The tribe was fighting a proposed mine that would contaminate all their drinking water downstream. Of course the mine won and mined anyways somewhere around January of this year. Arsenic and uranium was released into their aquaphors. Therefor it is impossible for them to drink uncontaminated water without flying it in. Also visitors have to drink from the springs. This June many hikers got extremely sick and had to be flown out. It's just disgusting that the rich gets away with this.

Still a great documentary - thank you!

He has been a North Star for me for decades, agreeing with his principles on almost all issues. I must note regarding his remarks on 'heavy breeders' - he sired FIVE children!

Rest in Peace Candy Bomber. You now have indestructible wings…soar forever.

Imagine if Abbey could be around to see what’s become of the Democratic Party in the 2020s

2024, Most areas are still suffering, now talks of new mining is being pushed by white people of these corps. Evil.

My wife and I tried to see him twice and ge cancelled both times. I'm glad I found his music. I'd love to see him live before he moves on from the struggles of this life

Ed was a social commentator whether he liked it or not.

Whatta treasure / best thanks from a cottage in Japan

What a life. Glad he didn't get shot down. As an F-104 admirer, he's way cool. Thank goodness he on our side.

An epic performance!!! As per usual from Tom Russell. Thank you Tom!

Eric ❤

Interest in uranium mining has returned. There are many new claims and new players.

Great. I could listen to Tom talk and sing all day.

This is outstanding. up there w/ the BUCK documentary. Beautiful music and filmography.

Loving the Ballad of Cactus Ed ...imagine he'd appreciate this 🎶 and add a few expletives about those ' Collared & Suited Thieves ' the 'deve-lopers ' 👿 glad that I've found you heartfilles Troubadours... keep a warbling & working your Magic ... monk

Just the beginning of a lifetime of fun adventure!

Holy $h!t. This was just after I read Desert Solitaire for the first time! And not long before Ed left us...

Excellent Tom.

Nothing like a good orgy on the mountain!

Wish I lived through this era.

Oh my what a beautiful song. Such pertinent words and tasty guitar accompaniment.

Thx for the video. Colonel Eagleston is my hero. Brave man.

I just finished Desert Solitaire, which was written in 1968 - it rings just as true today in 2024. I'm so thankful to you for posting this interview from such a clear thinking and well spoken person. The issues he mentions are becoming increasingly critical, and need to be addressed. We need to wake up, and vote in people who will prioritize these environmental concerns. We need to take care of our planet! If only everyone would wake up, just a little bit, simplify, respect and care for the earth, we might be able to preserve what we've been given.

I am willing to believe that Butch and Sundance didn’t die 1908 in Bolivia. There are no solid facts which prove this to be true. However, this story about William T. Philipps sound fishy. He didn’t look like Butch, and I really don't think that plastic surgery at the beginning of the 20th century was able to alter faces that much. And the actions of Philipps don't prove that he was really Butch Cassidy. He might've had a lot of fun when he pretended to be the famous outlaw 😉

The orange track never seen that before

Wonderful!
