Old West Shootout at Devil Canyon

In the spring of 1905, a couple of down-and-out cowboys robbed a dice game in Winslow, Arizona. What followed was a literal pursuit to hell, a bloody gunfight, and an Old West Lazarus rising from the grave for one final sip of whiskey. #history #wildwest #western

Anyone got a shovel?

Say Josh, what is the title of the ranger vs. skunk episode?

Got a shovel, but a mattock might work better

Think you can do any better. I highly doubt it.

I can think of no better tribute than having a bunch of wild ass drunken cowboys dig up my grave and stand me for the final drink I never got to enjoy. Thank you so very much for a great "I can't make this shit up" story. CHEERS!

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Im thinking a bunch of drunk cowgirls might be better

Josh, as an old jarhead and published historian, who’s main interest is the period of westward expansion in America, your site has become my favorite place to hangout on KZbin. You’ve done the research, you’re funny as all get out, and you’re a dang fine storyteller. (I hope you’re teaching history somewhere!) Thanks for all you do sir. Very well done! 🫡👍🏼❤️ Semper Fi.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thanks Greg!!!

That story digging up the robber, . . . Think I was about 5 or 6 when because my folks being duty bound to attend, I taken to an Irish wake but didn't understand what I was witnessing... Having been told not to go there, I ventured to see into the living room. There the late Ironworker was laid out in the coffin in their family living room. There were somber men standing all around the casket passing a whiskey bottle between them. Each time they would pass it over the casket in front of the deceased's face to ensure he was dead. Because they knew that if he was still alive they knew he'd never pass up a turn at the bottle and he would sit up to take his turn on the bottle.

Great day

[@jordanhicks5131]

Good story from my home state, that corner of northern AZ was as wild and wooly as you could get. Holbrook and Winslow had so many gunfights its impossible to keep track of them all

[@mrbill_oh_no]

Another great one! Love the channel. I have spread your stuff to a few coworkers so far.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Awesome, thank you!

[@rialobran]

These two cowboys would have been better off just standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona waiting for a girl in a flat bed Ford. Oddly I've heard of this story before over here in the UK, no idea how now though. Good stuff dude.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Such a fine sight

Yes, absolutely. Hopefully very soon.

I do hope the twenty cowboys didn't actually bugger that fellow for a loan of his shovel--or at least not if that wasn't the price he demanded.
