You can take the Mexican out of Mexico but you can never take the Mexico out of the Mexican.

[@rahkinrah1963]

Thank you RMPBS for more of the history of our state.

[@khristine9476]

Colorado Native here! Have been here all my life and CO continues to surprise and amaze me. I love my home!

[@Zombie_FrieZ]

These are so cool! I pass through ghost town and relics all the time while mountain biking in Colorado. Such a great state.

[@secretamericayoutubechanne2961]

what kind of relics? Up in the Indian peaks one time around 4th of July lakes this old guy campervan hunter showed me the remrants of a railroad encampment. We could see where they stored meat, old bottles, etc. Another time I found a moderne day Native American site where some guy sacrificed a turkey type bird. Wierd. I kept the artifacts there for others to see

[@carlnash7200]

Used to be a great state.

[@cinejan]

Compelling presentation with well researched information. I enjoyed from start to finish. So much here, we'll be watching it again and again. Thank you.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Very interesting story. I’ve always admired the lawmen of the old west since, as mentioned in the video, they acted on their own in all kinds of weather.

[@royfrye2871]

Love these! Lived in Co. My whole life and love the local history of places

[@johnruskin4330]

Interesting documentary,, came across this although live in New Zealand, excellent

[@johnruskin4330]

@Jeff Z ah same ol same ol, nothing changes

[@skydiverclassc2031]

When I visited the South Island, I remember reading of the mailman who would cross the Milford Track on a regular basis. Maybe not the same as a lawman, but still rugged none the less.

[@Southpaw_Blick]

Same and I live in Australia.

[@dartboycmh]

Such an amazing channel..... thank you!

[@chalupacabra1727]

WARshinton. I love the southern digs at the Union the survived to the point of becoming a mystery of existence.

[@michaelkeyes5813]

[@heartland96a]

Plains people were born tough or if born else where and came to the area became tough to survive on the land .

[@E180TEKNO]

[@georgehays4900]

Never ceases to amaze me the numbers of people who pronounce cavalry, Calvary and nuclear as nucular.

[@falkfirebeard9867]

Rankin Scott Kelly was born in Carleton County New Brunswick.

[@mikecasey6371]

Cavalry (from French cavalerie, cf. cheval 'horse') or horsemen were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the most mobile of the combat arms. An individual soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman, horseman, dragoon, or trooper.

Mike Casey my father was a member of the 7th Cavalry prior to WWII during the Depression. It wasn’t until the war that the Cavalry became mechinized

[@riverraisin1]

@ Yeah, well the guy in the video was saying Calvary. So apparently he meant that they were soldiers from the site were Jesus was crucified.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Let’s not forget armored Cav. The tip of the steel spear!

[@chalupacabra1727]

Billy The Kid was a law enforcement officer.

[@thatsmrharley2u2]

8:27 Umm...what?

[@housetopranch]

Yeah, that comment got my attention as well. In most communities the ratio was inverse-men outnumbered the women many times over. Maybe there was an unusual situation in that community that the interviewee omitted or was edited out. Or maybe he simply misspoke.

[@chalupacabra1727]

@@housetopranch he just forgot to preference Colorado before giving the statistic.

[@GiselleBuckner-j9h]

Just watched and tried to enjoy but the blame background music is so LOUD!!!

[@karenbartlett1307]

What happened to the Espinoza family happened all over the South when the federal armies invaded in 1861-1864. Southern civilians, often in winter months, had their possessions looted, their homes, barns and farm tools burned and livestock stolen or killed, crops burned, even mills where Southerners ground their corn destroyed, such that thousands of defenseless women, children and old people were left without shelter, food or clothing to survive the winter. Many thousands of civilians died at the hands of the Yankees, who were, toward the end of the War, often criminals released from prison by Lincoln to serve in the federal armies.

[@bingeltube]

Recommendable

[@larryreese6146]

Really interesting presentation. Apparently leaving one area for another over supposed killings was not an uncommon occurrence. One of the progenitors of a large well known family came here over a supposed killing in Missouri, involving a dispute at a dance over a girl. After many years a relative found his whereabouts and told him that the other young man he had had the dispute with was alive. On hearing this, he returned to Missouri, sought the other fellow out, apologized, and the two had a long visit before he returned home.

[@daleslover2771]

Larry if you get a chance read the Frontiersman about Simon Kenton unbelievable story,

[@larryreese6146]

@@daleslover2771 yeah Dale. I've read a couple of books about Kenton. Yes, he had an amazing life. One of my all time heroes was George Roger's Clarke, older brother to William Clarke of the Lewis and Clark expedition. That must have been an amazing family. They're fictionalized novels, but Alexander Thom wrote good books about them, Long Knife and From Sea to Shining Sea.

[@larryreese6146]

@@daleslover2771 just now thought of it. Yeah, Somon Kemton left home as a kid because he thought he'd killed somebody, didnt he?

[@bethbartlett5692]

Most often the Law Enforcement Officers whom perform well will bring to mind the ilthought, "it's a fine line between law enforcement and the criminal elements", so much so, they trip and land on the other side. The laws are man made and largely of an effort to Legislate Social Morality (in every case this is in direct opposition to the freedoms of our idea of USA Democracy/Freedom - it is Dictatorial and can easily lead to the very dictating of One's Beliefs, Religion Choices. They may not be something I would chose - but they are subjects we can't pick and choose or we aren't allowing true Freedom of Choice) So many create the elements of criminal behavor's opportunities and we would be far better served by allowing and applying a structure of managing. Much greater outcomes.

[@chuckboy9372]

Kinda makes you wonder if the US Army knew what those cattle rustlers was doing...

[@WildWestGal]

I wonder if he asked after his sister by her maiden name? Did his sister actually ended up marrying Emmett, or if she, wisely, dumped him after his dangerous, immature, and ungallant behavior? She probably died long before he did. Late 30s was about the average age of death for women in those times.

[@marypenebaker898]

There are no recountings to this gentleman in this presentation except by other white men. There are some very significant historical facts about all of the places that this gentleman lived that are not honorable. There are historical references of people who accused native American tribes of what we are signifying this man wonderful for. A female and a child put on display to justify fear. In 2023 how can we trust that was a true depiction? Joseph Smith followers after all we're trying to justify why so much territory should be assigned to them yet denied. There are twenty women to one man is a disturbing fact that everyone is over looking. This is one critical race theory in school should be thought of as very valuable. A white-collar criminal apprehension? The fear of outlaws and humiliations justified his murderous behaviors and theft? He faked a citizenship because? Like I said, this is every great cowboy story, in history and Cinema and worst of all American pride believes, and that this channel has considered a mythical. This is an "in the name of story" that should no longer be tolerated as complete Truth.

BTW, *"The Luck of the Irish"* - please, let me define this for you correctly. My Mother on this statement: *"My dear, if the Irish had any real luck collectively, We would be speaking our own language."* - Mary Carol Lynch My Mom summed that subject up in a most accurate statement. Now that's not meant to indicate that we don't individually have "luck experiences", I believe we do. However, let me assure everyone that we are far better served when we realize, learn, and apply, what the Creator gave each of us equally and what is a most important Law of this Universe. *The Universal Law of Attraction* - and it is fact, absolute, discovered by Quantum Physics, and the Man we call Jesus, taught this principal some 2000 years prior. "You thoughts, beliefs, convictions, and feelings - create 99.99999% of all the reality you experience." ✔This is a strong reason and should motivate everyone, to take steps to ensure that they have facts, *use positive thoughts,* and avoid any negative thoughts, words, and *judging others.* One *must release all fears, guilts, and negative ideas of self.* One must realize they "are Worthy" or their positive desires. One must understand the difference between "lower mind/Ego Mind and Higher Mind/Mature Thought" and realize that the Application of Conscience Thoughts bring about the High Mind strengths, its a don't react, rather respond, and it is easily accomplished with reasonable self discipline. A personal Standard of Ethics for referencing when needed and Empathy are well serving. Itvisnt a matter of choice - we are all creating from this Law of Attraction anyway. It is a matter of choice in having greater outcomes by learning and adjusting in order to better master of Thoughts, Feelings, and Outcomes. "Ask and ye shall receive..." "Faith the size of a Mustard Seed..." "the body is a temple of God..." - Jesus taught this principal and additional details are available in "the Gospel of Thomas", which was not included in the Bible or the KJV Countless books and videos on the subject from Quantum Physics scientific details to how to apply are available. Your *"Luck*" is that uou saw this comment and you have the opportunity to make a disciplined exercise a part of your establishing a new habit that will serve you well. You are a divinely created and connected eternal energy, aka Soul, having a Human Journey - live this moment with appreciation of all that you are and excitement with all that you can create. Love your You - let go of the past and this moment is the living and your thoughts are creating your future moments for living at those moments. Appreciation 🔑 Creating 🔑 Feeling 🔑 Facts (most beneficial) Choices (truly important) Re-teach your Subconscious the truer facts - pur Socialization, judgemental ideas, prejudices, self quilting, and all negative learned ideas got to go, in order to be: To be your Greatest Version of You - and know you are Worthy. Balanced Self love - the Golden 🔑 💫❤💫

Thank you. I've been depressed and don't know how much longer I can take it. Your comment actually helped. Thank you again.

[@riverraisin1]

I wish these educated historians would learn how to pronounce Cavalry.
