That lemon squeezer looks pretty good atop your dome, Santee. You have to respect a man who goes out of his way to perform his duties in as efficient a manner as possible. Not saying that I'd enjoy sharing a meal with him, but at least he didn't take pleasure in the suffering of others. Been a while since I've seen Bandolero! Might be time to go revisit that one. Always liked Jimmy and Dean, and Raquel Welch is hard not to like.

I'm always happy to see Jimmy Stewart. Mr. Stewart was everything a man was supposed to be, the right amount of pride with humility, honor without boasting and the kind of real strength most real men admire. Mr. Maledon, on the other hand, I would imagine was not a pleasant man to be around. If you are a professional killer and tell me "I was just doing my job." I don't think I would be inviting you to dinner any time soon.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

HAHAH! Glad it worked out.

[@bigblue6917]

The role of the hangman is always an interesting subject. There are a number of cases where the hangman was a murderer who received a pardon on the understanding they would take over the vacant position as hangman. The logic behind this was that as this person was used to killing people it should not trouble them to kill others. Truth was these people were usually not cold blooded killers and their actions were usually on the spare of the moment. Also even if they were not killers themselves they were usually excluded from society because even though they were carrying out a task required by law they were still seen as taking someone life.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

It's a tough job that weighs heavily on a person.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

You know, the toll it takes on the man responsible for carrying it out makes a better argument for the abolition of the death penalty than most. I'd never really considered that aspect of it before.

Awesome topic. Never heard of George Maledon the "Prince of Hangmen" before. Glad I hung around until the very end. I was hanging on your every word. He was the host at many a necktie party. Invitation only from Judge Parker. To say he did not git ta know them long is a bit of a stretch. Interesting that in addition to his salary he earned $5.00 for each hanging. The court pay records may be a way of obtaining a number of how many people he hanged.

Talk about being able to leave your job at the office, and not carry it home. I'd say that George Maledon was able to do just that. Besides the obvious storyline, I always enjoy the audio/visuals thrown in. Of course, on this particular subject, not too graphic... another great one, Santee. 🤠👏🏻👏🏻

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, I didn't want to harp on the details of hanging a man in this one. Thanks!

[@robdavidson4945]

Brings to mind the old pre TV days of Gunsmoke on the radio series William Conrad (starred on TV as Cannon private detective) played Matt Dillon. One episode featured a hangman who evidently despised by the "good folk". When Matt Dillon meets him he comments on live radio " I always recognize one of your clients Hangman because they are always well hung." The other actors had to step in to adlib loudly to cover for his hysterical laughter. Great fiddle music at the end. More please reminds me of my Scots Grandfather.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks for sharing.

[@joelhurley2678]

Santee, I'm originally from Michigan. I actually visited Fort Smith with my late mother in 2009 to see the hanging judges. Court and see where the gallons were. It was a very interesting trip. I really enjoyed visiting Judge Parker's court. Thank you, Santee, for sharing that great story.

So very interestingly informative and inspiring video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I got a lot of inspiration for the old west frontier, paranormal and frutigar aero/Y2K techno-utopian futurism story and series that I'm working on wrand illustrating for. Great job and well done,keep up the great work. I learned a lot about the old west frontier and George Maledon, who i didn't know anything about till just now. Thanks for the history lesson on different individuals from the old west frontier, I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely going to create some old west inspired characters for my story. The part of my story that I'm writing today is where my characters are in a old west frontier/1920s styled manor that is also a shrine, that has been overrun by entity monsters and entity beings. There's a quija board in the story too. My storys main character Mercia Hawkins is a old west lawman deputy and paranormal investigator/documentarian researcher as his second job. His father Thomason Thatcher is the sheriff of Faron City. I hope you all had a good thanksgiving. Happy holidays.

I’m using my dreams to write my story and series and then doing illustrations from dream images.

Also interred are over a hundred Marshals, Deputies and Court appointed officials, some of whom lost their lives while serving the cause of justice. Also buried here is the Founder of Fort Smith, an Arkansas Governor, fifteen Fort Smith Mayors, and a hundred twenty-two confederate soldiers.

My Great Uncle John used to bounce around to Narcos, Homicide and Sex Crimes. A lot of people that my Great Uncle John investigated, some of them were sentenced to either life in prison or death by lethal injection. My Uncle Steve worked the Oklahoma City Bombing and the First Bombing of the World Trade Center (the one with a van). He also worked the uni-bomber case and finally the aftermath of the Waco, Texas standoff. He worked in the arson team during Waco.

My grandfather and an uncle went to see the last public hanging in the US, in Owensboro Kentucky. My dad wasn't allowed to go along with them because he was considered too young. This was a pitifully botched execution. The rope broke on the first drop. On the second drop the executioner was so so drunk that a lawman pushed him aside and pulled the trap himself. You can find the whole event online.

[@EricDaMAJ]

There was a book many years ago called the _Book of Lists_ which was that - facts and figures listed out. One of the lists was the optimal drop height, prisoner height and prisoner weight that hangmen used to make executions go smoothly. It really was bad form to have the convict's head pop off during the drop.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yup, and it happened a little too often.

[@coolhandluke7772]

I know you already made a video off of a prompt I suggested, but one question I’ve had about settlers moving out west is, how often did people move back east?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

That's a tough one to pinpoint. First of all, if they had land out here given to them by the government, moving east may not have been financially feasible. Some who found their fortune at the goldfields went back east with their riches.

[@coolhandluke7772]

@@ArizonaGhostriders Ok, but I wasn’t sure if there was an instance where a group of settlers that ran out of supplies part of the way, and decided to turn back, or there was a town that failed and everyone left to go back to what they knew before.

[@arailway8809]

There was always a small percentage that turned around and went back east. People ran out of patience on the wagon trains and turned around. An Arkansas man took his slaves to the gold fields of California, didn't find much, and went back to Arkansas. An uncle I knew of, cut the telegraph lines down and left Texas and his extended family and his debts on the train to go back to Georgia. Men hit it lucky in the gold fields and went back to marry the gal he loved. Some had already gotten married to somebody else. Trains really made travel a much easier experience. Upon the arrival of one of the babies, women would load up and take the baby to back to see mama and aunt Martha. What is staggering to me is the persistence that pushed folks up the Oregon trail is spite of all the hardships.

From Time Life's The Old West: The Gunfighters "Maledon took somber pride in his hangings: only an expert could guarantee that the victim's fall would break his neck, thus sparing him slow strangulation. As Maledon drily remarked years later, 'I never hanged a man who came back to have the job done over.' " (Trachtman, 1974) "Once, when asked if he was haunted by the ghosts of his victims, he cheerily replied: 'No, because I reckon I hanged them too.' " (Trachtman, 1974)
