[@onnieduvall2565]

As much as I hate to correct you, the name of the Salt Lake City newspaper that you were so frequently trying to say and getting wrong is the DESERET Evening News, now known as simply the Deseret News. It’s possible that the original script have it right but editing, spellcheck, and AutoCorrect, which doesn’t know such things, changed it to Desert.

[@nicholaskajfasz9558]

Keep this series going! The editing is awesome! They are quick, interesting, and informational. I was very happy to stumble upon this series!

Love this series, the team have done a exemplary job of giving these individuals a fair assessment with a none biased approach and the delivery is outstanding. I hope to see your good work continue into the future. There is a lot of value to be gotten from history, and it's thanks to hard working people like yourselves producing easily understood and entertaining chunks of past events that it is perhaps easier than ever before for the general population to gain the benifit of our collective human experience.

[@TimeGhost]

Thanks a lot for the support Don, it really means a lot to us when we read messages like this. We'll be making content for years to come, and it's all thanks to the TimeGhost Army and their support on Patreon, without them it would honestly be impossible.

Then there's the Steve McQueen movie made about the guy that just slightly glamorizes him a bit. They do show how the Julien Water Gallows worked though, so there's that.

[@nicholasconder4703]

The movie also made the case against him more ambiguous by not mentioning his other previous work.

Today is September 26, 2022. I recently saw the 1980 movie titled "Tom Horn," starring Steve McQueen. That made me curious about the historical, real-life Old West outlaw/lawman, named Tom Horn. Your episode about this was very amusing and edifying, so thank you very much, and keep up the good work. Yours, Barry Fiegel

Robert Moses seems like a perfect candidate for this series. A brilliant visionary who gave us Jones Beach, Niagara Falls Park, major superhighways, and plenty of public parks. However, if Robert Caro in the Power Broker is correct, Moses was also a consummate bully who stampeded over people's rights, used Eminent Domain to destroy entire communities, and cost New York the Giants and Brooklyn the Dodgers.

Considering that the Pony Express ceased to exist when Horn was less than a year old, I seriously doubt that he was a rider thereon. Oh, and the Salt Lake City newspaper was the Deser-ET News, not the 'Desert' News.

[@floydvaughn836]

Part of the making of Tom Horn was his going to compete in a rodeo and entrusting the transport of a dangerous man to a rookie. The rookie was killed by the outlaw, who escaped. The outlaw's name? The Apache Kid. PTSD from an eventful life undoubtedly changed him for the worse. But who can really say? BTW, the Nickells killing was argued as part of the Wyoming Bar Association curriculum. No verdict, last I heard.

[@Chilly_Billy]

As much as I like Steve McQueen as an actor, his portrayal of Tom Horn in the movie of the same name left out a lot of factual evidence that seriously calls into question Horn's innocence. Great movie for getting a feel of the last days of the Old West though.

[@nicholasconder4703]

The absence of this background history from the movie makes it seem more likely that Tom Horn was set up. Having seen this video and getting the missing details of his life, I can now see how the film makers skewed the movie to throw doubt on the verdict.

[@korbell1089]

that newspaper might have been doing a bit of yellow journalism there seeing as the Pony Express went out of business in 1861. Now I am not going to call it fake news but IF Ton Horn rode for them when he changed horses they would have had to change his diapers at the same time. Fun fact, he looked a lot like Steve McQueen. 😊

[@selleremuda7793]

One thing that’s never told about Tom Horn. You say the men he killed maybe have been innocent. There is a lot of documentation about Tom Horn leaving notes on the door or somewhere these cattle thieves would see it. He always gave them a warning. Quit stealing cattle or move out of the area he was patrolling. So he must have caught them doing something wrong to first give them a warning. And the second time they were caught is when he killed them. We do a 3 day 1890’s style rodeo in Bosler WY. Town that Tom Horn got his mail. Second weekend of Aug every year. Tom Horn Days
