[@devonriley110]

Isn't it crazy how little we really know about such a famous, or infamous, person?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

It seems the less you know, the more legend comes about.

[@devonriley110]

@Arizona Ghostriders Will you be checking out the Red Dead event in Tombstone? I'd be going, but I'll be out of the state at the time, ugh! I still need make a point of seeing more of Tucson as well!

[@donutpredator4945]

Best part of Saturday is watching a new upload

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank You!

[@357Dejavu]

I agree!

[@sarahcrews2544]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

I agree ?

[@rhondaz356]

TOTALLY agree, too...🌞🤠

[@hacksaw434]

I don't live far from Johnny's birthplace of Greens Fork, Indiana. The town used to celebrate "Johnny Ringo Days" but I don't think they do it anymore. Thanks Santee for highlighting a notorious Hoosier!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Wow! That makes a couple of us from Indiana.

[@hacksaw434]

@@ArizonaGhostriders that's because only the cool "Old Westians" are from Indiana!😉🤠

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

@@hacksaw434 LOL!

[@Rags2Itches]

@@ArizonaGhostriders I once had a roommate from, as she pronounced it: Indianer. And who nicknames their state after a piece of kitchen furniture? ;) It was great to get some accurate history on Johnny Ringo finally.

[@SOENJAY]

Great to learn about another iconic old west character. Give my condolences to Arizona Red. It's always hard receiving bad news like that.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I'll pass it along. Thanks.

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

What a horrible way for his dad to die. Becoming the man of the family after dealing with that had to have changed young Johnny

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Imagine that had a lot to do with his life.

[@hardheadjarhead]

@@ArizonaGhostriders. He was six years old. He may have actually seen it happen. That would mess it up!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

@@hardheadjarhead Oh yeah. Sigmund Freud was in Austria...so that was out.

[@Dorelaxen]

5:56 Why, Johhny Ringo. You look like somebody just...walked over your grave.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yup

[@richardsullivan1776]

The facts are always more interesting than the movies especially in today's Hollywood! Imagine, a movie with historical accuracy. Now that would certainly be something!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

It would be.

[@masonparker4445]

Makes my day to see that you uploaded. I am in my teens and discovered this channel because of Red Dead Redemption 2 and my fascination with the frontier period has never stopped growing. Keep up the good work Santee!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank You!

Johnny Ringo has been my hero since I was a kid

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Another excellent episode, and it was great seeing Dirty Dan being serious for once... that seems to be pretty rare!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

👍👍

[@skydiverclassc2031]

On a side note, I love reading the newspaper articles and the style of writing the reporters used back then.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

me too

[@ryanmedina5090]

Ringo's real story is actually quite a lot more fascinating than his movie life. Thanks for sharing. This was definitely all new info for me.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

You're welcome

[@coltsfan79]

I love Michael Biehn's portrayal of of Ringo in Tombstone as to how historically accurate it was is anyone's guess but that could be said for every character in the movie because it was just that a movie but it's one of my favorites.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

He did a great job

[@General_Kenobi_212]

"Doc, what motivates a man like Ringo?" "Revenge...." "Revenge for what?" ".....Being born." Amazing writing, gives me chills everytime 👏

[@tedebear108]

Good morning Arizona Ghost Riders. I still would like to see an episode of your guns. I love antique guns and seeing the history of them. Thank you man

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

You're welcome!

[@helljumperjim]

2:24 Died near Tombstone sounds like it was meant to happen

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

That was their stomping grounds.

[@jamesmordovancey517]

Somebody ought to break it to Red that George Armstrong Custer is no longer with us as well.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Wait...what??? Last I heard he was in S. Dakota....

[@baldeagle5297]

You've got to admit, Johnny Ringo is the perfect name for an old West hardcase.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep

[@chubbethsthunder]

Santee, This is awesome. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed weekend.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

You're welcome

Thank You!

[@cleondubois1270]

Bravo for Dirty Dan; good to see him get some screen time!.......Probably no one would have heard of many of these characters if they hadn't moved out west......"Indiana wants me. Lord I can't go back there".

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

HAHA!

[@Dsdcain]

Great short documentary on an interesting character of the old west. Thanks for putting it together. Be safe out there, and take it easy man.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank You!

[@NGMonocrom]

A tragic tale for sure, Santee.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes

[@justdustino1371]

I liked his character in Tombstone. I'm surprised the lizard Rango and the rattlesnake with a Gatling gun for a rattler didn't appear here! 😆👍

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Rango is at the beginning!

[@greghardy9476]

Rango was funny. If only he had gone up against a lungfish…

[@royalmytho607]

Thanks again Santee & Co. Just to let you know , I'm currently camouflage painting a single shot Brazilian made 22LR rifle and a Savage 110 bolt action rifle chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum . I've been teaching a friend how to reload ammunition . Yesterday he created thirty rounds of 5.56 NATO loads , enough for one AR magazine . Reloading pistol ammunition is the next lesson .

[@jasonattenborough4026]

Wow, Santee, Johnny Ringo! Without going into too much detail, Johnny wasn't a bad man. He just hanged around bad people as an optive for Law, and he was found out and lured into a trap, and because he was excellent with the pistol, he was shot by a member of gang he was with. His father drank a lot and slipped off the wagon shot himself. When the video started, I wondered if the same conclusion was found, in my opinion, he was a hero. What a surprise to see this today! Thank you Santee.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@crackerjack3260]

Reading the coroner report you had on the screen, his pistol ammunition belt was upside-down , a shirt and hose on his feet instead of boots tells me he surprised while resting and had to run away in a big hurry.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Or he was drunk off his gourd and couldn't put it on right.

[@crackerjack3260]

Ha ha ha 😂

[@FishTheJim]

I say I am now convinced that it was Arizona Red that done the deed.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

He looked a mite guilty!

[@lukesams3349]

Well now we need a biography of Buckskin Frank Leslie. Man led a wild life, perhaps even more fascinating than Ringo’s

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

More fascinating by far. He was probably nuttier than a bag of trail mix. I'll do one.

[@SoloFan87]

It is always good to see and hear the real stories of Johnny Ringo. I found out years ago from my Grandmother, That Johnny Ringo is a distant Cousin of ours. One of the many things that was not known about Johnny Ringo in what was told about him. Is Johnny Ringo was a very nice man when he was not drinking. From what my Grandmother said was one of her cousins who knew Johnny said many wonderful things about how he had a heart of gold for others and his family as well. But it is always intriguing to find out I'm actually related to someone Portrayed in the Movies Tombstone and The Gunfighter.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank You!

[@petesakes1985]

The Dec. 14, 1879, edition of the Arizona Daily Star stated: “Last Tuesday a shooting took place at Safford in which Louis Hancock was shot by Johnny Ringo. It appears Ringo wanted Hancock to take a drink of whiskey, and refused, saying he would prefer beer. Ringo then struck him over the head with his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the lower end of the ear and passing through the fleshy part of his neck. Half an inch more in the neck would have killed Hancock. Ringo is under arrest.”

Ooooo, quite the lucky guy, old Louis.
