How in this world is some crook going to tell you he's hiding out in your place and TO FIX HIM SOMETHING TO EAT?

Great actor ❤❤❤❤

[@gordonhaire9206]

The first oil well in New Mexico was drilled in 1922, 21 years after Ketchum was hanged. His real story is a lot more interesting

[@venetianortrup8693]

Jack Elam A very kind man.

[@Metaphoreign]

Man the real story is so much cooler and more dramatic.

Mary Castle and Kristine Miller after her looked pretty hot in their "Dale Evans Suits". That must have been the standard lady western wear of the 1950's.

They didn't show the best part of the Black Jack Ketchum story. When he faced the gallows, he raced up the steps, then said, "So long, boys! I'll be in Hell before you've had breakfast!" Then when the noose was around his neck and he was standing on the trap door, he shouted, "Let 'er rip!" The hangman didn't calculate Black Jack's weight and/pr the length of the rope correctly, and the drop ripped his head off.

His actual last words were "let's hurt up with this boys" but yeah, between the inexperienced hangman and the fact that he was off balance from missing an arm, his head was basically contained by the hood they had over his face.

[@DedicatedSpartan]

I thought he survived hanging and they intentionally decapitated him afterwards

[@dwightlewis290]

is that or just a wise tail

[@Metaphoreign]

​@@dwightlewis290 oh there are photos.

'Black Jack Elam'

[@sharonjohnson1702]

I was in a bar back in 90s this man said Jack Elam wasn't the ugliest cowboy and mean

[@Joe-kb1sm]

And Frankie, the most beautiful girl of westerns.

[@thunderbird1921]

Really interesting to see how ladies like her and Dale Evans were riding in these 50s westerns. Despite wearing skirts, they didn't use a side saddle. Very unusual from everything I've seen.
