Hey Josh I just wanted to say that I love your podcast you're one of my favorite podcasts on KZbin and I also wanted to tell you that my wife bought me a Colt Single Action Army made in 1882 it has the 4 3/4 Barrel and is in fine shooting condition came with all the letters from Colt and a list of all the owners back to 1914.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thank you man! And that's so cool...I'd love to have one of those old revolvers. Just imagine who could have owned it going all the way back to 1882. Your wife must love you very much!

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

I agree I wish I could see it early life. No cars just horse and train. Plus holding the gun shows he was a right handed man. The wear is favoring right. I have alot of info on some of the owners and they were cattle men. So for many years this gun Road in a holster on a horse under the stars and into dusty old cow towns. On cattle drives.

Josh, this is amazing. I've never heard of Luke Short. That's why I love your Pod Casts. I think i could've been friends with Mr Short. I could've lived a similar life back then. You do what you have to do. A little good, a little bad. Bat was his friend. I think that the only reason that Bat spoke negatively of him at all must have been that maybe Mr Short didn't share his moonshine with Bat. 😅. Once again, well done. Thank you for your hard work to bring us these amazing stories.

i'd like to hear more about this Craig character. how long has he been your arch nemesis?

[@JerryEricsson]

Cool, I love the old west.. I am an old fart myself now hitting 73 years haunting this old world. I grew up on a farm for the first 12 years of my life, it was in North Dakota, and the old Deadwood to Bismarck trail went through our west pasture, the ruts were still cut deeply into the prairie that fed our cattle. When I was in High School in the mid 60's one of our assignments was to take one of those new fangled reel to reel tape recorders that weighed in at about 76 pounds around to interview the old cowmen who still lived in our old cow-town named after the cowboy who owned the property and scouted for the railroad as they came through our area, Lemmon (after GE Lemmon famed in tale and song) My best friend and I carried that damn machine around town to little shacks that the old crooked cowboys spent their final years on the planet and recorded their tales of life on the prairie in "the old days" I guess that is why I love listening to your tales even though they are done on research, they are almost as good as listening to the old fellows tell us of the life on the early prairie. There was a bar in town called "Pat' Place" where the old fellow gathered to play cards and spit on the floor while indulging in cheep beer and chew their tobacco or smoke old stogies. We used to ask old pat for used cards and he would give us a pack so we could play poker in the alley behind the bar. Dad was born in 1910 and told me a lot about his youth which was pure hell as he lost his mom at age 5 and was farmed out to his uncles, who were real bastards and treated him as a slave till he was old enough to kick their asses then they sent him to live with his dad on the old home place. He had scars on his back and legs from where one uncle beat him with a buggy whip for taking an orange without permission when he was 7.

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Good job man. Appreciate your apology, very well said

[@BobF321]

Josh We all have bias for sure ,&am a fan of old west history too! Well you sure drummed up the finer details on Luke Short, who sure moved around alot,&mostly it appears, for reasons legal&lead- related...so not sure that Bat Masterson s credits were all that accurate.But yes ,you can sure work up&embellish a story!😂 *On stepping out into the life beyond,well based on Someone s big sacrifice for us all,we do,( according to my reading&investigationas read in John3:16),we do go up or down. The best bow archer Howard Hill who ever lived ,did indeed pluck an aspirin off the head of his willing assistant with an arrrow in the 1950-60s for a television promotion. Bob

2:30 The Comanche didn't think that area was their sacred homeland, they thought of it as a neighboring land ripe for plundering, killing, and raping. They did the same to neighboring Indian tribes, the Mexicans, and the Spanish before them.

It was like a gang and being a cowboy was nit a good thing back in Thombstone in 1881. Idk how true or whwn the word cowboy became a good thing and not a gang of people. What u think? This true at one time a cowboy wad bad and being part of this gang. I came across ur podcast late just like a month ago so u might of even mentioned this already.

Luke was attractive, and Hattie was as well, they must have made a handsome couple. Luke also wasn't tight with his money, and he had quite classy taste. Both he and Hattie wore expensive clothes, not merely "in style" but the era's equal to Armani and Chanel for Hattie. Tragic he passed so young. He was generous with dinations to churches, schools, and for needy children. That is a statement of his character.

Well came a gullywasher and rained for five days straight. His old horse nearly drowned. He finally managed to pull the beast to safty. At last dryground . In the peak of the storm he constructed a great leanto against a group of great boulders that had rolled of a high cliffface. No fire was kindled for fear of the old Camachy warrior locating his camp . He walked the big horse underneath the makeshift shelter and dryed the dappledgray down with an shert from his saddlebag .

10:01 I do not think the age would have hurt his memory that much, but Bat does seem unbiased when discussing people.
