Far In The Hills Of Red Dead Redemption 2, I Found The HIDDEN Home Of Real-Life American BADASS!

i seen the that play you was tryna pull with the log wagon and the bounty hunters. that was lowkey smart if it worked

[@RDBTheRedDeath]

I know :( it CRUSHED me when they wouldn’t fall. I shoulda tried dynamite

[@ThatKa5p3r]

@@RDBTheRedDeath dynamite is pretty much the only way to get them all to roll off & if you want them to go that direction you'd have to place it just right. Easier to just throw boomsticks directly at the NPCs, they are already lined up for you

Grew up in Texas, write fiction set in Texas, was once interviewed by the Wall Street Journal because of my blog post series about the travesty that was Texas Rising . . . And I freaking loved this video. Felt so seen here! Huge Red Dead fan, and I've never yet seen anyone tackle this particular topic. High five sir.

I love Texas history. I’d love to read anything you’ve written!

RDR Davy Crockett: "Gotta take away them Injun's food source so they starve." Real Davy Crockett: Fought for native rights so hard it cost him his re-election to congress.

[@michaellorah9051]

Gotta love modern idiots not understanding history. They automatically think "white man lived in wild West, he must have hated native Americans." I get it, Rockstar loves their "parody" but they had an opportunity to do something great with a reference to Crockett and they did this instead.

[@KossoffFan]

@@michaellorah9051 On a similiar note, the Klan as they show in the game hadn't existed since the 1870s when General Forrest shut them down. They weren't started up again until after The Birth of A Nation came out.

[@ThirdEye-47]

​@@michaellorah9051thats just the thing. They are wokies and would rather people be divided than unified, they are just as racist as they claim others to be.

Six years later and people are still discovering new things in this game. The depth to the story is mind-boggling. I guess they have to keep us interested long enough until they get around to making RDR3.

I COMPLETELY forgot Davy Crockett ever existed. You just awoke a long forgotten memory from my early childhood. I have very vague memories of hearing about him in school when I was probably 9 years old or younger.

[@Slider6294]

And died at the Alamo. One of the greatest Americans, even when you cut through the folk hero mythology.

[@RDBTheRedDeath]

I grew up in right in the middle of where the Texas revolution happened so I repeatedly have heard the names Bowie, Travis, Crockett, Houston growing up. Love to hear you never “FORGOT”

Some of this story sounds like "Liver-eating" Johnson. They made a movie called Jeremiah Johnson about him.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Always loved the stories of Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone in school and in the old TV shows. I actually saw a couple reruns of Daniel Boone on TV the other day and couldn't believe it, I hadn't saw that show on tv since I was a young kid in the late 80's/early 90's. Being a native of Louisville, KY I was always partial to Daniel Boone over Crockett but both were huge parts American history.

[@RDBTheRedDeath]

I want to eventually make a Daniel Boone episode in a history series I hope to have sometime. I used to watch the Daniel Boone series, with Fess Parker, early in the mornings with my grandparents before school.

[@boogiesrevenge2087]

Since you’re bringing up revolver, how about a video on the Illuminati in red dead.

[@joshuarogue9345]

I mean Texas was considered a big part of the wild west. Remember the wild west, just meant west of civilization at that point. so Texas was well considered being out west. But I do agree the Davey Crocket hype is basically old school john wick lol. A lot of ppl from the wild west that we glorify actually did very little, or where actually bad ppl. Like Jesse James is painted like he was pushed into crime. He wasnt, he was just a bad guy salty about losing a war lol.

[@caleb1rshelton]

So Blackwater is an in-game analog for Crocket, Tx?

[@RDBTheRedDeath]

I’ve thought so but I’ve seen some places reference it to St. Louis, but what I actually think it’s a reference to I’m going to talk about in another history video soon. I don’t wanna spoil it lol
