Good to see you again in the comments. Got a question for you-what other wild west/history youtube channels do you like to watch? I want to get to know what similar channels are out there and maybe get to know them-thanks again!
@@legacyofthewest basically just yours. I enjoy the stories on characters you usually never heard before. I've seen stories on major characters like Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and so on. I've have read several books on the west. I like your channel because you have stories on some people I've never heard before. Hope that helps. Oh by the way,I live near Griffin, GA. The home of Doc Holliday. I still believe he's buried here in a unmarked grave in his family plot.
It's really quite astonishing at the amount of well known western figures and others who spent time in Dodge during her hayday. I guess that's why she earned the title Queen of the Cowtowns.
This video is nice and well put together and of course the music. I can listen about, read and watch westerns all day. Is any of Dodge City a tourist attraction like Tombstone? Thanks.
Yeah-Boot Hill Museum in Dodge City is a great museum and has lots of entertainment in the summer-if you visit Dodge City I recommend the summer-Boot Hill has a lot of events in the summertime-the Home of Stone is open in the summer (a limestone house built during the wild west days) and if you come during Dodge City days there's even more to do. If you ever decide to go to Dodge let me know and I'll give you a list of places to go to.
@@reneethornton9228 Here's a list of things to see and do: Must do: Visit Boot Hill Museum and the Home of Stone If you're feeling more adventurous then visit Fort Dodge-it's close by Dodge City and has some original buildings A little bit past Fort Dodge is a cross that commemorates where historians think Coronado and his men crossed the Arkansas River in 1541-Coronado's Cross-also where I believe the first mass took place in North America. Also in Dodge City, behind Boot Hill museum-but still on the "hill" that was the original cemetery is the Boot Hill Distillery building, but next to that is a cowboy statue made from the plaster cast of an actual cowboy-so it's an exact likeness of the cowboy-in downtown Dodge there's also the Stan Herd mural on the bank building-pretty cool mural of a stagecoach. Downtown is the "El Capitan" statue of a steer, and in that area is where the original Front Street was located-there are historical markers and info on placards. There is also a statue of Wyatt Earp across from the historic depot-and a statue of James Arness at the visitor information center near Boot Hill museum-and there is also a casino in Dodge City as well-over on highway 50 bypass west. Just some ideas off the top of my head.
All the men looked steely eyed, set jaws, determined and deliberate. Understandable as they had some form of: the money = power incomes of trade, banking, opinion forming newspapers and very importantly the law. Not men to wrong in any fashion. I can now see how that living in Dodge was a dicey thing day to day. You had to know who not to trust and to keep your own counsel and mouth shut.
The following information is from "According to Kate" by Chris Enss Pg. 3-Kate was born in Hungary on November 7, 1850 to father Mihaly (Michael) Horony and mother Katalin (Katharina). Her birth name was Maria Izabella Magdolna. Pg.5 The Horony's moved to Davenport, Iowa in November 1862. Pg.6 In 1865 both of her parents died. Pgs. 8-10 She traveled to St. Louis on a steamboat first as a stowaway but was discovered and taken to the captain, Captain Fisher. She became friends with the captain and after she left the steamboat she began using the name Kate Fisher. Pg. 24-25 In the 1870s Kate stayed in Great Bend Kansas, and worked for the saloonkeeper J.S. Elder, she then adopted his name and was known as Kate Elder Pg. 104 She married George Cummings on March 2, 1890 So to sum it up- She was born Maria Horony, began using the name Kate Fisher, changed it to Kate Elder, and finally became Kate Cummings. Probably the reason you know it as Kate Elder is that when she was with Doc Holliday she was known as Kate Elder.
Thanks for the work you put into each video. I loved the music. I always get a bit nostalgic hearing plaintive renderings of these songs.
Yup! Don't hear enough of that old fashioned music
I truly enjoyed that! Thank you!
Awesome thanks
Delightful!
As usual enjoyed the video !

@@legacyofthewest I truly appreciate this information. Have you ever coordinated a trip of your TH-cam follower’s to visit places together?
@@reneethornton9228 No-tho that does sound fun-right now my life is kind of hectic with work and family stuff-maybe in the future

More should be known about Luke Short. Quite a life he had.
Thanks for including Native Americans who lived in the area.
In the reading I've done, "Big Nose" Kate's real name was Kate Elder. I never heard of "Mary Horony".
The following information is from "According to Kate" by Chris Enss
Pg. 3-Kate was born in Hungary on November 7, 1850 to father Mihaly (Michael) Horony and mother Katalin (Katharina). Her birth name was Maria Izabella Magdolna.
Pg.5 The Horony's moved to Davenport, Iowa in November 1862.
Pg.6 In 1865 both of her parents died.
Pgs. 8-10 She traveled to St. Louis on a steamboat first as a stowaway but was discovered and taken to the captain, Captain Fisher. She became friends with the captain and after she left the steamboat she began using the name Kate Fisher.
Pg. 24-25 In the 1870s Kate stayed in Great Bend Kansas, and worked for the saloonkeeper J.S. Elder, she then adopted his name and was known as Kate Elder
Pg. 104 She married George Cummings on March 2, 1890
So to sum it up-
She was born Maria Horony, began using the name Kate Fisher, changed it to Kate Elder, and finally became Kate Cummings. Probably the reason you know it as Kate Elder is that when she was with Doc Holliday she was known as Kate Elder.
