Outlaws, Bandits, and Legends of the Wild West

Let's get wild

“Wild West Legends to Fall Asleep to”

This has very quickly become one of my absolute favorites on YT.

Happily, I recorded an interview with my grandfather, including his youth running moonshine and his time in the Navy during WWII - you are 1000% correct about the need to preserve these oldtimers' stories!

I can't get enough of this channel. I thought about doing a more academic YouTube channel and thought about the wild west as the subject. I saw this channel and said this is perfection.

Dear Josh, I am an old man living in the deserts of Arizona today. I listen to your stories of the old west for entertainment and educational purposes and I enjoy them very much, thank you. I don’t know if you remember me but we have spoken a couple of times howdy do. My name is Don and your tale about Big Nose George reminded me of the time as a child when I crossed paths with a bag, a lampshade and 1 shoe. I was born in Cheyenne in 1959 and I watched the world switch from the old to the new. My old man was a wanderlust and we were always packing up the Dodge to chase the latest star. It was the spring of 1965 and we were going to California on some wild scheme, it matters not for the story here. We stopped in Rock Springs for gas and food and ware. I was all about the journey and I wanted to absorb all the sights and everything to see. I went to the lobby and looked in a glass case to see and discover what it was within. A Doctors case, a lampshade and 1 shoe. At 6 years old I was shocked and amazed to learn that these parts of simple ware were indeed a man named George I just wanted to answer your question of the nipple. It was on the top of the ankle on the right footed shoe. I wanted to write more…..I just got out of the hospital and I am tired Thank you, Don

There's an old saying when a old person dies it's like a library being burned down

I wish my grandfather was still alive to hear your channel.

Kenny Powers telling Wild West stories is awesome!

found this channel by searching for old west tales to fall asleep too.. this is now a channel i tune into regularly 😂

This was the BEST podcast in the history of the wild west and podcasts!

Awesome as always Josh. God bless bud.

I really love the Wild West Extravaganza. The stories you tell are super interesting. The way you tell them is also entertaining. Your funny play-on-words and your quirky jokes make me 😂. You have become my favorite YouTube story teller! Great work thank you. I live in San Antonio, I would love to hear about the cowboys and gunslingers of this area...if you choose of course 😊😊😊

When i gotta drive through the beautiful texas hill country i love listening to this channel. ❤

"Boot Nipples," are two things I never expected to hear in the same sentence. Subscribed, and thanks!

Definitely worth mentioning the work it takes to dig up all the history as well as composing and narrating. And the delivery ain’t bad either. Appreciate your efforts my friend.

another new video man all right my evening just got good

I have no words for you, your the voice who keeps me out of my own head and therefore keeps me going right now. Thank you!

Funny- I became a nurse bc I had always genuinely enjoyed listening/ hearing my elders talk about "back in their time". American History is my absolute favorite subject in history but mostly all of history in general has always fascinated me. 😊

Josh , ya just made my night , thanks🙏🏴‍☠️🍁
