The song is ''when Johnny came marching home" a popular song from the American civil war of 1861-1865, possibly based upon (or copied by) the Irish song 'johnny I hardly knew yee'. In general the music from that war and the 1800s is great. A few personal suggestions include: Battle cry of freedom Battle hymn of the Republic Dixie Shenandoah Lorena Also on a random note there are 2 really great documentaries on the history of the west and american civil war by the talented documentation Ken burns: The civil war The west- (can be found on youtube and covers whole history of the west from custer, wounded knee, Spain, gold rushes and more)

I am well aware, my friend. With no exaggeration, I've had hundreds of comments on it. I'm repeatedly running into issues with this one though.... the first being my typical resources (newspapers, photo archives, museums, etc) here in the States are sparse on content involving it. Secondly, anything involving ethnicity is a powder keg on KZbin. I learned that lesson on the Native video. Neither my intentions nor qualifications matter to some folks- they're offended regardless. Their angst gets poured into the comment section, poisoning the community and creating significantly more work for me and my moderators. Sufficed to say, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble- particularly since this channel is my hobby, not my full-time profession. I just make videos in my spare time about stuff I'm interested in. And with the rapidly increasing politicization/ activism within higher ed (my job), I've always seen this channel as a place free from the outrage that accompanies it all. That said, I've been known to kick a hornet's nest from time to time, damn the consequences. So we'll see. But, I hear you, and others. If I can make it happen, at the level of quality that I require of my work, I might do so.

If you ever change your mind I recommend starting at charro clothes, I'm not well versed in exactly what they wore in the 19th century but judging from revolucionario pictures it seems that was the style most emulated, and it's still pretty common in northern Mexico, about as much as the cowboy style is still prevalent in the American south.

quick correction at 9:30 - while yes, it was common for weapons and sometimes even uniform items, such as shoes or pistol belts, to be private purchase - this was mostly not the case as your typical enlistedman was far too poor to be able to afford some of these things however, it is very typical to see cavalrymen eschewing their standard issue holsters for open flap civilian holsters as fumbling with their issue holster's flap could sometimes mean life or death when you don't have time to fumble with it a little more clarification regarding uniform wear: gray flannels were adopted in the early 1870s and the dark blue flannel was adopted in the early 1880s, yellow lining on the trousers was only for ncos and officers - the stripe was wider the higher in rank you were, cavalry trousers also had reinforcing on the inside of the trousers for riding gloves were also issued to cavalrymen well before the civil war with many variations over the years following the civil war with yellow riding gloves being issued until the 1880s and white riding gloves were issued starting 1884

Actually the extended barrel on the Cattleman would match the 7.5in standard SAA pretty well. That model is often called the 'Cavalry' model for a reason.

Could you do a historically accurate outdoorsman? A person that spends a lot of time outdoors and in nature. I have an outfit i really like but I want to make sure its historically accurate.

[@Laptrico]

He's done a Mountain Man. Basically the same thing

[@SirKattyCruz]

I really like how the outfit turned out. I hope Rockstar adds more variety of clothing to this game.

[@CapturedByKen]

Unrelated but those paintings of battles were incredible

[@ManvsHistory]

You're the first to mention them! I love those artists- Frederick Remington and Charles Schreyvogel. I need to acquire some for my office.

[@WhiskyGravy]

@@ManvsHistory A modern Western artist you might also appreciate is Howard Terpening!😉

[@WhiskyGravy]

100% agreed!🤩

[@ManvsHistory]

@@WhiskyGravy I'll have to check him out! Thank you!

[@ManvsHistory]

@@WhiskyGravy Just looked him up. He's incredible. I loved 'The Ploy'. What an amazing painting.

If you make your own custom military-like outfit for yourself, buy one of the military surplus outfits for Cripps and have a military surplus tent it actually looks like a small army camp which is pretty cool in my opinion

Man vs. History: Yellow Neckerchief is a Hollywood thing and not accurate Me: *still wears Yellow neckerchief*

[@ManvsHistory]

It does look good...

[@danielnichols5885]

Great work! We appreciate all the hard work you put into to make these videos.

[@ManvsHistory]

Thanks, Daniel!

[@rust9542]

Please make a video on how to make a historically accurate Baron, I think that would be a really interesting one

[@bostonarchie3194]

Favourite channel, stared playing rdr 2 online because I finally have a cool outfit thanks to this legend

[@ManvsHistory]

Ha! Thanks, Boston! Happy to hear that, my friend!

[@Captain-Axeman]

I would like to point out that the Krag-jørgensen in game Bolt Action rifle was also used by the US miletary after buying the right to make them.

[@ManvsHistory]

A few of these (in a carbine version) were tested out in the SW against Apaches in the 1890s, so I suppose they technically were present. Just not standard issue is all. Anyway, glad you mentioned them.

[@Captain-Axeman]

@@ManvsHistory It wasn't crtiszing, just wanted to share some knowledge i had. Considering the rifle also has some Norwegian orgins, technically it kinda has orgins in all of the Scandinavia countires. Anyway, I love the Krag-jørgensen so just wanted to share. Thanks for the reply i hope you are having a good day.

[@ManvsHistory]

@@Captain-Axeman Ha! Of course not, man! I didn't take it in that way at all!

[@ethansmith8813]

Can confirm. I have a Springfield armory 1896 model myself. Amazing rifle

[@kilgoreclayton]

Also, I never knew that the Spencer was ever a standard issue weapon. Thought the military had never adopted a lever action rifle. Learn something new every day

[@CLD73]

🥳🥳 I’ve been Waiting for this one to release

[@minionman95]

Slightly unrelated but you mentioned Philbrick around 2:10 I just finished his book valiant ambition about Benedict Arnold two days ago. I would definitely recommend for a read.

[@ManvsHistory]

Yes, Devin. That's a great one too. Have you read 'Mayflower' or 'In the Heart of the Sea' by him? So good.

[@sonofguilliman4577]

Ah, my New fave channel!

[@SawRunner]

Immediately noticed the quality improvement, keep up the great work!

[@ManvsHistory]

Happy to hear that! Better camera, and improving editing skills.

[@brandonwelsh5090]

A video about hunter or fur trader outfits would be greatly appreciated as that's my main role in the game

[@foxtrotfox9108]

all of the red dead online roleplayers watch this guy, i loved ur vaquero video and im currently using an outfit based on the guide!

[@ManvsHistory]

Awesome!

[@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233]

I believe so far the film Hostiles is a good representation of the relationship between members of the US Army and the natives they fought. It’s not always black and white and yet war still remains ugly no matter who fightings.

[@ManvsHistory]

Agreed. I loved that movie. Great costumes as well.

[@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233]

Yes sir!

[@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233]

I should I have brought this up back in your lawman video. But from what I’ve been told my great grandfather on my grandmother’s side was a high sheriff back in the 1800s (too obvious I know) and settled down in Montana after he married a native woman. I keep guessing she it was Crow, Cree, or Cheyenne or others in that territory. Could’ve been either. But she left for the reservation. As far as I know, my grandmother’s daddy wasn’t a lawman, but a trapper for a long time before he left south for Arkansas where I was born and raised.

[@ManvsHistory]

@@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233 Very cool!

[@justsomewitcherwithalongsw4233]

I figured I’d share what I knew. Your videos are inspirational msn.
