I had a great aunt that lived to the ripe old age of 104. She was about seven years old when she and her family crossed the prairie in a covered wagon on their way out west. By the time she was 100 she had lived through the inventions of cars, telephones, electricity, and man landing on the moon. She was fortunate enough to have still maintained a very sharp mind and vivid memories of events throughout her life time until the very day she passed. She would sit us down and tell stories about crossing the prairie with her family and could remember vividly the details of the job need and would retell them so we'll it was mesmerizing to listen to. You could almost have been there with her the way she would describe the events. Wonderful woman. What an amazing span of life to have lived through and to have the mind to remember and appreciate all that she witnessed and experienced in the span of her lifetime!!

Uncle Jack claimed to have killed 40 or 42 men (he had lost count)., was there at the OK Corall on that epic day, and recounts numerous events-some involving lawmen being very lawless.well worth the read- if you can locate a copy.

Went on missions over the battle of Berlin. I use to be just taken by his stories. Then I found him straying off into other history. I found myself learning history from this great man. When I entered high school I was a history enthusiast. I watch you, and I find myself, back 45 years ago listening to him. I greatly appreciate you Mr. History guy. Thank you.

Lived through the civil war, almost both world wars, lived in the same world with doc holiday, and Albert Einstein during separate eras and generations. Really incredible to think of what she must have witnessed. I wonder if any generation of humanity will ever witness a world of such incredible and drastic change with such massive leaps in technology like that again.

When you enter the front gates keep to the left and about two hundred feet in you’ll see a sign pointing to her grave which is over by the north west side of the cemetery and across Gail Gardner Road from the Denny’s in the Walmart parking lot. There’s and old marble head stone marked Mary K. Cummings 1850-1940 as well as a broken plaque letting visitors know that this is the grave of Big Nose Kate or as she was also known Rowdy Kate.

I also heard a discussion on KYCA about bare back champion J C Trujillo where he told an interviewer that after his Dad moved to Prescott in 1919 as a boy he and his friends would amuse themselves selves by walking the streets of downtown looking into the shop windows and how his Dad said that often times when they’d look through the windows of the Palace they’d see Kate playing cards with other bar patrons.

Doc had to turn to cards for his living due to his ever increasing bloody coughing fits which forced him out of the dental profession. Doc became close friends with Wyatt after Doc seeing a young Dodge City law man surrounded by , as Wyatt would later say " a wild bunch of Texas men" when Wyatt attempted to enforce order. Doc being a traditional Southern gentelman stepped into the hostile situation and Drew his weapon telling Wyatt he had his back. The friendship grew strained after their flight from Cochise County which was a result of the vendetta ride against the Cowboy faction. The reason the Earps we're not liked by many in Tombstone was because they were Yankees. Southern Arizona was filled with ex Confederates who moved West to escape the living conditions of the South post Civil War years. My wife and I managed a Guest ranch in Tombstone AZ where one of my favorite activities was telling stories of Cochise County history to our mostly European guest around a campfire. I had a few videos made for the guest ranch which are still on KZbin. 3 of them. Gunfight at the Apache Spirit Ranch, Escape from the ASR and Return to the ASR. They were for fun and advertising for the ranch.

Amazing how much they moved around when moving around wasn't as easy as it is today. Trivia from a documentary I saw: that grave marker that is shown isn't actually where Doc Holliday is buried. When he died they couldn't get the hearse up the hill (it was winter) so they buried him somewhere in town with the intent to dig him back up and move him in the spring... but that never happened. So for all we know he could be in someone's back yard. As I recall the documentary also said that she moved to Colorado with Doc Holliday and didn't move back to AZ until after his death.

I highly recommend you do a story on Squirrel Tooth Alice. Reputedly one of the most attractive sporting women of the old west. Turns out she was also extremely intelligent and a topnotch businesswoman. And when she finally settled down, she was a faithful wife for somewhere near 30 years. I'll even give you a teaser to look her up. She was not called Squirrel Tooth Alice because she had protruding buck teeth. Her story is really quite interesting. Thank you for what you do.

She sounds like she was an adventurer. Doc is buried here beside his Dad, his cousin went to Colorado and brought him home to Griffin Ga. They are in Oak Hill cemetery, buried beside family friends.

Thank you for greatly expanding my knowledge of one of the old West's more colorful characters.There is really very little of this that is normally shared with the public. Your channel is one of my all-time favorites.

I love this channel! Reminds me of the old “American Heritage” books full of mini histories from my high school days.
