How to Create a Historically Accurate Mexican Vaquero in Red Dead Online

[@theannoyedlink5153]

Man, as a mexican myself I can only say one thing: thank you for doing this video, I think there's not bigger respect towards a culture than to be accurate to the real history and tell it as it is, so thank you for teaching stuff that most Mexicans probably don't even know, and keeping that real history alive

[@ulucio86]

Your culture? Dude Vaqueros literally originated in Salamanca, Spain it was brought to Mexico and other regions of Spanish America in the late 1600’s.

[@ManvsHistory]

@@ulucio86 Yeah, vaqueros of the American West embodied Spanish tradition intermixed with New World/indigenous influences- but you're correct that the foundation is certainly Spanish. Arnold Rojas (author of 'These Were the Vaqueros') makes no qualms about that in his works, much of which involve his travels to and through Spain tracing vaquero history to its origin. The Spanish were the ones who brought horses, cattle, and the vaquero tradition to the New World. Period. But it certainly evolved once here into a unique style, with new equipment, vocabulary, etc, thanks to those Mexican/indigenous influences, in much the same way that the vaquero also evolved into the 'American Cowboy' iteration in Texas and the Northern Ranges. But Spain is the birthplace, as Rocco points out. I highly recommend Rojas' books on the subject for anyone interested in tracing all this through history. They're amazing.

[@Royinszki]

@@ulucio86 Yes, that's why it is engraved in the mestizo culture (we mexicans are mostly mestizos, native+spanish) Native and Spanish history is also our history, we are their descendants wether you like it or not

I know we need A LOT more content, DLCs, and just a better experience for us Online players, hell...even Story, but what MvH does that’s perfect and inspiring, is he’s really bringing out the true history of the time, and showing off the world Rockstar created with what we got, which is still a good amount of “props” and etc to make some legit exploration.

[@Nortekman]

Historically accurate Mexican Vaquero? Well, that all depends on what era are we talking about. The Mexican costume has changed a lot through out the last 400 years. For example, the stereotypical high conical crown sombrero did not come into use until the 1880’s. Before that, the Mexican sombrero, called Jarano (harano), had a low rounded or low flat crown. The name sombrero just means hat in Spanish; the actual name of the hat is Jarano. Until the 1870’s the boots that the Mexicans used were called “Botas Campaneras” or “Botas de campana” which means “Bell boots” because they looked like bells; they were actually not boots, but two pieces of tough deerskin wrapped around the lower leg. Until then the pants, called calzoneras, were left open at the bottom to show off the “boots.” The botas campaneras are no longer in use, and since the 1870’s the Mexicans use the common Wellington boot. The Armas or Armas de Agua (water shields), started to go out of style in the 1830’s. Although you can still find them in use today in some mountain areas of Sinaloa and Durango. The Armas, were two pieces of goat skin hung from the saddle horn and protected the pants from the rain. They could also serve as a table or bed. It was in the 1830’s when the Chaparreras (chaps) came into use, thus replacing the Armas. Chaparreras in the 19th century were made out of different materials: Jaguar, puma, bear, cow and goat skin. The Poncho is South American. The Mexicans used a Sarape and a Manga; the Manga resembled the Poncho but the Manga was more elaborate and expensive. Today Mangas are no longer used, while Sarapes still exist. If you want a more earlier look, say the 1600’s, the clothing would be much different. The oldest description of clothing worn by Mexican vaqueros (who were mostly mulattos, mestizos and blacks) is from 1607. Father Ramírez de Alarcón mentions them in a report about the situation of the inhabitants of Nueva Galicia (present day Jalisco and Zacatecas). Ramírez de Alarcón complains and warns the authorities about this “outlaw” Vaqueros that roam the countryside on horseback well armed: “These people are agile, robust and grow in their generation and multiply too much, and you can very well expect trouble, because […] there is a man who gathers 300 men on horseback from these outlaws to work as Vaqueros, and most are armed with strong Cueras, arquebuses, scythes, hocking knives and other weapons.” These Vaqueros wore “Cueras” which at the time, was a kind of leather armor or jacket that served as armor, made out of cuero or rawhide. The Cuera was similar to the European buff coat. Their weapons: the arquebus, scythes, knives and “hocking knive” called “Desjarretadera” (de-hocker) a long lance with a sharp crescent moon shaped blade at the tip that was used to incapacitate wild bulls by cutting the “jarrete” or hocks. This is before roping came into use.

[@evanwilliams1839]

I know you don't usually talk about the potential firearms of the game but I've read about something I think might interest you. The Cass Repeating Belt Gun. It was a repeater style rifle which got its name from the belt of paper cartridges stored in the stock, making the stock very bulky and gun extremely back heavy. It held 26 rounds in it's stock belt and the stock opened up for replacement of the belt. There are sadly only two specimens that remain and they have differences if memory serves it was one having an octagonal barrel, different rifling, and different sights. The gun was invented in 1840s-50s and while it's bulkiness means it is unlikely anyone but it's inventor (the patent was made in the northern states, but on of the specimens was found in Texas) ever journeyed with it. Regardless it is an overlooked but massively overlooked landmark in firearms history as it was likely one of the first true belt fed guns.

[@ManvsHistory]

Sounds awesome! I always thought that once in a while R* should hold a flea market in game, where you could by old obsolete firearms (and other items) for your own amusement. Stuff that isn't very effective compared to 1898 technology (think old black powder rifles with their reloading time, etc) but is still there for folks who want to collect and use old weapons as they please. This would be a way to incorporate a gun like the Cass.

Bartender/Store Owner: Clerk Pants, White Everyday Shirt, Paisley, Traditional or Classic Vests, a Tie of some sort instead of a neckerchief. No Chaps or Spurs, Foot Wear with the pant legs over them. A Derby would be appropriate if you're planning to go outside. As for weapons, the Double Barrelled Shotgun with the default Short Barrel is traditional.

Growing up in DFW, San Antonio, Albuquerque/Santa fe, and west Texas, I thank you. This is how I made my RDOnline character, now i have a better way to dress my Vaquera.

[@ManvsHistory]

Happy to hear that!

[@oakularoregon6623]

Once again your content never cease's to amaze us, thanks friend my father and I learned something new today ;)

[@kenhouston814]

For gloves, take a perfect goat hide to Gus for the Mountfleet gloves. They're a little fancy but are fringed.

[@0ld_Scratch]

I wish we could look exactly like the Vaquero in your Thumbnail!

[@bamalam21]

Yeah, too bad rockstar royally fucked the ponchos and made them look like pizza boxes on your back instead of actual ponchos…

[@JavierOreos]

Hell yeah, thank you so much! I’ve been waiting for this one for a while now

[@SequoiaFarms]

Love the stuff you put out man, keep up the good work!

[@timwalsh7535]

been lowkey waiting for this one. good work as always!

[@MarcoFlores-um7cj]

soy mexicano y la verdad sigues una representación muy fidedigna de los vaqueros, gran trabajo. Saludos

[@The70sHorror]

Man Vs. History the only thing I wish to ask is what customisation options were used on the saddle for the mustang so I can achieve 100% accuracy to yours?

[@Jakethesnake2007]

Always great to see you upload hope you have a great day

[@zomrog]

These videos are so cool! Love all the historical information and the outfits!

[@ryanphillips4123]

How in the hell did these men survive the heat??? Especially the ones with the bearskin chaps!

[@shionyorigami666]

6:55 Well he does say they were used in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California; even they get cold, and the cold tends to hit you harder if you're used to the hot desert.

[@Trollvolk]

Have been waitimg for this one. Thank you very much :)

[@RebelSandGaming]

I hope you do the Florida cowhunter next though I dont know how you'll get a cow whip or a scrub horse

[@misterdonlon]

Exceptional research as always my friend! Nodded my head through the whole video

[@Zidzyz]

Hey man, love your content! You ever think of redoing older videos such as the Native American one now that the game has updates with the Naturalist role with Gus allowing more accurate Buckskin pants and the such? Through a few roles there are better ways of doing some of my favorite of your vids

[@stephendulajr.8124]

The vaquero stories were great. What a bunch of badasses! Thanks!

[@thewarlord3547]

Would love to see a big game hunter outfit, I have been using the mountain man look for hunting but was looking for something that maybe someone like guss would wear, didn't know if they was any sort of historical thing when it came to this, I was interested in this since I have been using the double barreled shotgun to hunt bears and elk with slug rounds, it pretty fun.

[@Sogeking995]

I’m really enjoying your channel, thank you for putting in the time to make these awesome videos! I would love to see a video for making a historically accurate “Mountie”, like the old North-West Mounted Police (precursor to the modern Royal Canadian Mounted Police).

[@alexjonathanwhite606]

Now all I need to know is how to make a train clerk and a hillbilly

[@reid488]

I actually have a Lemoyner outfit which may be close enough given the sort of culture to Lemoyne. I use a dark brown worn flop hat, a red neckerchief, a white everday overshirt, brown cross back suspenders, green worn rolled pants, and black preachers pride boots. Is anything innacurate about that?

[@alexjonathanwhite606]

I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty good, I’m going to have to try this out, thanks man

[@reid488]

@@alexjonathanwhite606 you’re welcome!

[@abelhayabusa]

I'm from México and I love your channel, but must important I really enjoyed and loved this video, thank you so much for sharing this information with all of us.

[@lillyalightbornexo1036]

Your content is great, it's helped me form the character I currently use in RDRO. Also great for just to listen to while enjoying the game. Though I wonder what you'd have to say about the Irish emigrants. As a Mix of Native American/Irish mix i kinda would love to hear some history of my other ancestors

[@ManvsHistory]

An Irish video might be fun. I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks, man!

[@xannymanny9754]

A man vs history upload on my birthday is the greatest wish I could ask for

[@ManvsHistory]

Happy Birthday, Xanny!

[@OGBOOP]

This was just what I needed!

[@chiefzosa6194]

your content is amazing, please keep it up MvH, your videos make the game and learning in general so much more fun

[@ManvsHistory]

Thank you, Adrian! I really appreciate that!

[@romesweetrome8407]

Damn, I'm love your vids so much.

[@ManvsHistory]

Thank you, Rome!

[@romesweetrome8407]

Have you ever heard of the Rocky Mountain Rangers? I'm working on an outfit.
