YESSSSS! Thanks Josh, Merry Christmas 🎅

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Merry Christmas to you too

[@OffRampTourist]

Always good to see you in my feed. Thanks for taking on the ugly parts of our history and not oversimplifying.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thank you! Appreciate it.

[@christophertarr9005]

Thanks Josh! Loved it. Silas is an ancestor of mine and you told his story well. I will say that Annie denied the John Brown rescue out of fear. Any involved with Brown were in fear of retaliation and even arrest.

[@CustersFirstBandOfficial]

I work with a guy who’s Native American. He was just telling me about his visit to the sand creek memorial. Good story telling again. Funny the stepbrothers movie lines😸 great movie

[@CustersFirstBandOfficial]

I thought I heard Chivington was a big old dude like 6’5 260. Sounds like a big old Bully👎

[@dennishortonii2139]

[@sandman9390]

Another great bit of storytelling brother! Keep up the good work 😊👍

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thanks! Will do!

[@sandman9390]

@WildWestExtravaganza I grew up near the Arkansas/Oklahoma border & now live in Missouri, about 2 football fields from Kansas. My route covered Ks-Ok-Tx & La when you started your channel & now I drive across Ks-Co-Wy-Ne & N. Mo every week visiting so many of the towns & areas you have mentioned in your historical narratives. Your story telling motivates me to study whenever I hear you mention a familiar location along my travel routes. As a life long history buff & also having a degree (minor) in History, I really appreciate your hard work & the research you do. I also appreciate your sense of humor, as well as your humility in your presentation. You are very talented young man! Lord willing, it won't go to your head & ruin ya like it has others 🙏

[@johnwalker4251]

Awesome Josh, thank you for introducing me to the story of Silas Soule!

[@jclohio3333]

Historical update, territorial governor John Evans had a mountain named after him in Colorado (Mount Evans) but in September 2023 that name was changed to Mount blue sky because of Evan’s involvement with the Sand Creek massacre

[@charlesstutesman7228]

As I have told you before, you are fantastic Josh! However, it’s pronounced POT-TOW-WATT-O-ME. 😂😂😂 As a Kansans with a county and Native Nation named Pottawatomie, I can’t allow a Texan to continue to mispronounce it😂😂😂😂😂 Love your work, Buddy

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Noted

[@davidlancaster8152]

Ive been to Sand Creek. Its stark yet hauntingly beautiful. Its just a mile or so from Eads, Colorado. Kinda hard to find even though its a National Monument it's not well marked.

[@joeheiby6545]

Thanks for the good listen makes park of my work day go quicker. NOW LETS RIDE!🍺

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Hell yeah, let's ride

[@simonvandoren1181]

Sir.from one gentleman to another. Keep up the good work

Hey Josh. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being back and doing such a good job. Been a rough couple months in life. I needed this

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Hope things are looking better

Good way to start the work day. Coffee and listening to The Wild West Extravaganza. 🤙🏻

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thank you

[@Gday09]

A Great video of knowledge abowt a Great Man..May GOD Rezt Hiz Zoul❤🎉 Thanx Bro

[@materialmirage]

Wasn't expecting a Dropkick Murphy's reference. Great content!

[@JoshXHenderson]

Great episode. I agree with your take on Sand Creek. By this time, Americans should have known better. It’s definitely a horrible stain on the history of our nation. I highly recommend anyone interested in Wild West history visit sites like Sand Creek, Washita, Little Big Horn, Ft Phil Kearney, etc etc. Definitely makes history feel more real to see these sites.

[@lawrence9447]

I think the argument over slavery went back way farther than the revolutionary war. I think there was almost a war between the colonies in the 1600s over slavery.

[@christophertarr9005]

Yes, the great slavery plague foisted upon the colonies by the King of England.

[@swhip897]

Well the Irish slaved building the Eerie canal

[@lillieerismsn8620]

I never really had an interest in the Wild West. Then I ran across one of your videos… Decided what the hell I will check it out. I have been hooked on your channel ever since. Thank you for giving me an interest and appreciation for the Wild West. You do a great job. 👏 ❤

Great story this just took a place in my top 10 favorite stories the Espinosas being #1

[@plymouthduster225]

Another great episode Josh. I just finished reading the book Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday and The Vendetta Ride From Hell by Tom Clavin. In the book Wyatt Earp had a friend that rode with his posse named Origen Charles Smith better known as Hairlip Charlie. I had never heard of this man before thought I would mention his name in case you might be interested in doing a video on him someday.

Great an brutal episode thank you for making me that much more educated

[@indivisible885]

We were talking about history last night. Mostly US history and the topic of slavery was part of it. I couldn't remember when we, in Pennsylvania, abolished slavery. So thank you for that! I couldn't remember and I didn't use the goog to find out. All I had to do was wait a few hours. So next time I have a history question, I'll just wait eight hours for Josh to make a video😂

I’d never heard his story before. I wish they still made that type of person. My pltcmdr back when was a similar dude. Thanks for telling the story. I learned today 😊❤ P.S. Cut back on the trail. No tails. 😂

[@geraldtaylor1968]

Hey there sir, I really enjoy your show. Could you possibly do an episode on Devil Jim Turner located in Harlan Kentucky? My Great Great grandfather was James Middleton said to have been Ambushed and murdered, then cut to pieces and put into a hollow log near Devil’s den Kentucky, on his way back from Battle of (Tipacanoe )? around 1813 Thanks for the History shows 🪶

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

I appreciate it, I'll look into that

Great story! Who are the five men in your picture? Is one of them Soule?.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Which photo?

[@MrTiredmatt]

Josh, I appreciate the upload. I thoroughly enjoy these videos. I would be remiss if I didn't discourage you from talking so black. Let's just keep these vids not silly.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Uh what exactly do you consider “talking black”??

[@swhip897]

The descriptive way the "dirty deeds" were done.. it was hard to listen to. These years later in my den I am sickened, can only imagine soulė😊 reaction

[@BWP-u3y]

Yep, you're wrong... that's why we like ya, Josh.

[@jameskulevich8907]

Got a Jim Morrison look about him.

I have the last name s o u l e in my family who is from Lowell Massachusetts and Irish it's pronounced s e w u l e I think this name was tacked onto a lot of immigrants coming into America and it was really up to them how they wanted to pronounce it

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

This Soule family hailed from England originally. Signer of the Mayflower Compact.
