For me, my Wild West surprising fact is that many famous Wild West happenings were actually in states that today are considered Midwestern states. Hollywood movies make it seem like the Wild West drama was always in Southwestern deserts and the Rocky Mountains, but many famous Wild West incidents happened in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arkansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma. These states may not have dramatic mountains or deserts, but they have wild and rugged places, amazing rivers and beautiful scenery in their own right. It´s worth checking out. Plus many of these states have beautifully preserved old buildings and natural wilderness areas (such as the badlands in North and South Dakota and Nebraska). You can even follow the routes of the Oregon Trail, Pony Express, Mormon Trail and Texas Cattle Trail. I love the American West sites in the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest Deserts a lot, and it´s great to also combine them with the Wild West history that happened in what are now Midwestern states, as well as all the amazing Wild West history you can find in Texas, a state that covers a lot of geological terrain.

I'd say the Old West was as violent as I have always thought it was. A lot of bad things that happened didn't happen in towns and villages. Consider the Mountain Meadows incident in Utah, the Camp Grant massacre in Arizona and other horrible incidents. How many died on the trails and remote places? Of course, I grew up in what was left of the Old West, so I have heard tales that would make you shiver.

[@airmackeeee6792]

That's quite interesting to hear about the existence of feral camels in the old west. Around the same time period camels were imported to Australia to be used as pack animals by the military forces and traders. These camels also got loose, became feral, and REALLY proliferated. To this day they are still considered a major, if unusual, pest problem.

[@TheNewRiflemanBob]

First of all the old west was really a period around 40 years from 1865 - 1905. It was no where near a century long. The reason why the old west lasted a short period of time was because it was a very brutal and dangerous time in America. Law and order was very few and far in between. Keep in mind that all of the old west legends and infamous outlaws gained fame/infamy in the later half of the 19th century. Billy the kid died in 1881, the same year as the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Wild Bill Hickok kicked the bucket in 1876. Those are just three examples. There are plenty more but it would take too long to list them. If you doubt what I'm saying then do yourself a favor and google any legendary person of the old west and you will see that they lived in the late 1800's. Very disappointing video WatchMojo. Very disappointing.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

The murder stats are kind of skewed, too. I'm sure a whole lot of people died out on the high lonesome and were never reported or heard of again. I live in southern Arizona and every once in a while remains are found that have obviously been dead a long, long time.

[@brantleylansing7696]

+Pat Gawne yeah MOJO seems to never do enough research when they make videos, it's pathetic

[@bcubed72]

Yeah, the "lawless west" era was a by-product of disaffection for how the Civil War turned out, combined with the CW practice of using "irregular" armies whose duty it was, essentially, to rob and pillage the opposite side. Just like Britain using Privateers, this led to continued lawbreaking once the war ended.

[@TheNewRiflemanBob]

You neglected to mention that nearly all the trappings of what we understand to be American "Cowboy" culture was largely appropriated from northern Mexican "Charreada" culture during the hacienda era in the 19th century. Many white immigrants, some deserters from both the Union and Confederate armies found work in the northern Mexican haciendas, and adopted the culture and techniques of the "Vaqueros", or Mexican cowboys....

[@savage_turtle1791]

Actually, the term "red light district" originated with the red lantern that the trainmen carried. The "red glass door" at 2:30 would be a unique thing to just the one bordello in the one city. But, across the country, wherever railroad workers were visiting the establishment, they would bring their lights with them. So, you could see the red lights and know that it was the local bordello.

My great-grandfather was the subject of a front page story in a San Francisco Newspaper for stopping a train robbery in his job as a Wells Fargo Security agent while in AZ. He was Charles Jennings who was credited in the article for shooting the brains (the story said) out of a would be robber-assilant by the name of Sandy who then yelled "I'm DAID" as he fell to the dirt from his horse. I think some of those places possibly didn't bother counting. On the other hand-- it is nice to hear something good about the West.😕

[@stevewhite8059]

For camels in the Old West (not quite so old, coming into modernity) watch Ride the High Country by Sam Peckinpah which has a race between horse and camel at the start of the film. If you check out the early history of the Indian Territory/Oklahoma you'll find plenty of non-mythical violence and outlawry going on, plus of course the Kansas border wars before and during the Civil War. The emergence of the likes of John Wesley Hardin and James Butler Hickok came directly after the Civil War and were but two of the more famous 'Man Killers' or 'Shootists'. The Wild Bill Hickok Vs Davis Tutt duel being well documented at the time and being erroneously used as a template for almost all the Hollywood shootouts. Why not, it makes for good drama!

Another fact: The common western movie cliche' of ordering whiskey straight wasn't as common in real life, as a good number of saloons either had rotgut or watered down.

The 'fact' concerning the red light district is also a common Myth. Railway workers were carrying red lanterns and would often stumble into a brothel after a hard day of work to ... well i guess you know what. Anyways their red lanterns illuminated the brothels in a red light, which was soon adapted as the brothels signs and façades were painted red, hence the name red light district.

[@schizoidboy]

One thing I heard about the lawmen of that time they were often good at pistol whipping troublemakers. Handguns in those days were probably more sturdier than we give them credit for and just as often it was a better attack then just shooting criminals. Bat Masterson was considered good at using a gun to strike as well as to shoot.

At Tombstone, AZ, USA, constable Doc Holliday kept busy tracking the evidence to pin down each night's corpse to a culprit. Rivalries among the residents apparently survived the War Between the States; occasionally a Negro turned up among the dead, and Holliday would have to figure out, among other tasks of investigation, whether the Invisible Empire might have been involved. The Fremont Street gunfight that gave the Earps infamy, and put Wyatt on trial on a murder charge (the jury returned a not guilty verdict), was a gun confiscation gone awry.

[@hdhale2]

Except of course that the murder statistics for a vast region of North America where communications were not always reliable or essentially nonexistent is basically unknowable (indeed, bands of outlaws relied upon poor communications to ply their "trade"). Similarly, trying to credit gun bans with a lower murder rate doesn't work either, since only an idiot or someone criminally insane would shoot a man in cold blood in town in front of potentially dozens of witnesses--you'd wait until your victim was out of town where you were far more likely to get away with it. Note too they are talking about the "murder rate". Shooting a man in self defense wouldn't be counted as murder, and shootings in self defense were more frequent than they are today. The bottomline is that in the Old West it was far easier to get away with killing someone, and while towns like Dodge City were generally peaceable places and didn't fit the stereotype, there were far more places were the law was corrupt or non-existent and carrying a gun for self defense was just common sense.

[@richfolkes]

I would beg to differ on the origin of the term "red light district" as being from the Old West. As far as I know, the term originated in German occupied territory during World War I. Brothels, or Bordellos if you prefer were segregated according to military rank. Brothels which had a blue light hanging at the doors were the ones that were for officers only. Those brothels which were for the NCO's and ranks had red lights hanging at their doors. So more or less, a German officer would go to the blue light district to have his fun with girls while NCO's and ranks in the Army and the Navy would go to the red light district.

[@johnereese5387]

Let's get one fact correct, most men and few women didn't carry an open weapon like on the hip. But they did have smaller weapon easy to carry in their pocket or boot top. Most of smaller weapons in most cases less power than 45 long Colt. In some carries was a shoulder holster under your coat or vest. My great-uncle had a boot with holster sewed into the top and his pant leg covered. The only reason we hear about any person from the West is Hollywood. The writers of movies and TV look over newspapers, magazines, and books are written about life and times of old West. The time frame of "Old West" is different, cowboys (trail drives) 1866 to 1874 -- rails reached into Texas, Indian fighters 1790 to 1900, James gang and Hole in Wall gang (1859 to 1900) what stop the gangs was a telegraph and telephone. Railroads help to quiet the old west, no need for stagecoaches or wagons for long travel. The locomotive carried women, children, and law enforcement. A woman tames the old west, she wanted a safe place to raise her children, good schools, and churches.

"Tombstone largest muder count in a single year never surpassed five". Hey that's not too bad... Wait! What was the population of Tombstone in those times a few hundreds? And, aside from murder, how many deaths ruled as "accidents"?, How many wounded by guns, knives, etc.?!?

I heard about the camel thing, dad said they died out because they couldn't handle the area too well

That's quite interesting to hear about the existence of feral camels in the old west. Around the same time period camels were imported to Australia to be used as pack animals by the military forces and traders. These camels also got loose, became feral, and REALLY proliferated. To this day they are still considered a major, if unusual, pest problem.

Partially, the myths can be traced back to Wyatt Earp in Hollywood. Based on some research at least. I mean, Earp was friends with John Wayne.
