The Gunfight at Jenkins Saloon

- Tascosa, Texas, in those turbulent times of the 1880s, epitomized lawlessness and chaos. It was a place where legends were born, and outlaws roamed freely. The echoes of Billy the Kid's footsteps still reverberated through its dusty streets, mingling with the shadowy presence of Dave Rudabaugh, John Selman, Henry Newton Brown, Charlie Siringo, and countless other fabled figures who had left their indelible mark on the annals of the Old West. And by the time of the “Big Fight” aka the Gunfight at Jenkins Saloon, Tascosa was still as wild as ever.
The LS Ranch, located on the outskirts, harbored a band of ex-Rangers whose reputations preceded them. These LS boys were known for their heavy-handedness and soon were bestowed with the moniker of barroom gladiators.
Things finally came to a head on the fateful morning of March 21st, 1886. It was then that Ed King, a bona fide barroom gladiator, rendezvoused with his paramour and dance-hall gal, Sally Emory, just beyond the threshold of Jenkins Saloon. Unbeknownst to King, Sally’s ex-boyfriend was waiting.
Also mentioned in this episode: Tascosa’s Boot Hill, Hogtown, the music of Charley Crockett, and a saloon girl with a heart of gold by the name of Frenchy McCormick. #wildwest #history #cowboy

Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins!
I wanted to be first comment and that was the first thing that popped in my head. I love this channel one of the best on TH-cam no doubt
Evil spirits COME OUT! (Amen) Or was that Earnest Angley? 🙌🏽🤣
Superb. You have a way of bringing history alive with a great dose of humour mixed in.
I'm trying
Fuck ya he does!!! Dudes a Top G lol
Awesome story. I love hearing these less known stories. Thanks.
Thanks Josh.
I was born 30 miles from Old Tascosa and stopped by anytime I drove on State Highway 87 (Boys Ranch Road). The stone courthouse still stands and Boot Hill is well-tended. The Lore of the Panhandle and Eastern New Mexico figured significantly in my upbringing. Ft. Sumner, Las Cruces, Lincoln…I’ve been to all those places. Great channel!
I was in Amarillo about a year ago and regret not making the drive
If possible it would be great if you could do some stories about the Arizona Rangers.
The Arizona Rangers started in 1901.
Thank you.
Dennis.
Absolutely
i'll bet i'm not the only one who yells HYAH! every time i hear the intro!!! lol....love ya work josh...you're one of a kind brother!
Excellent Scholarship delivered in the style of your favorite FM DJ.
Many thanks
Another interesting WWE episode. Great work Josh. The sun is shining in West Cork and the connectivity is strong. Happy days
Thank you, Paddy! Top of the morning!
Thank you for another good ol' tale.
What's your preferred seasoning oil for cast iron skillets?
Mike Duncan, and “Josh” are my favorite pod cast hosts.
Mike Duncan is great!
Yes sir, I’m a day late.. but better late than never!! As always another great episode!!
Thank you
Thank you
No, thank you
Thanks for the story Josh
Thanks!
Thank you!
Haha! If I weren't anymore than a great husband, father, and trim carpenter. I'd sure sponsor you not only for your content but also for your "thanks" for sponsors. I loved it. You'll get there man!
Thanks!
Can’t have a music playlist for “Wild West extravaganza” without it featuring Outlaw country music 🤟🏻😎
I tell ya, I surely do enjoy the Wild West Extravaganza!!! There's lots of old story channels, but this ole boy knows how tell a tale!
Thank you
Thanks, Josh. Another good one. And, gotta love Texas. I love when traveling abroad being able to answer the question, not as some would say, "The US"...
...but rather, "We're from Texas."
I live in "Mobeetie" Texas, in modern times it's called Sweetwater TX.
The dance hall hotel and saloon that he met his girlfriend in, was most likely the Bluebonnet Hotel.
It burned down in the 1970s unfortunately.
Ah very cool
Thank you Josh for another excellent video and yes a playlist would be nice
Thanks mystery man!
Wow !! What a story !! The 1950's version of Wild West Wikipedia (my grandfather) somehow missed this one. You should give your buddy Emilio a call and see if he would make a movie about this one.
Ha, I wish
If you’re making a play list of Wild West songs, it would not be complete without Tom Russell’s “Tonight We Ride.”
Charley Crockett is the most cowboy looking son of a gun that you will ever see, my favorite song of his is "Round this World."
Nice work, partner..keep it up.
Best channel ever God damn it
Partner "Jolly bad mouth" Josh done it again. Given his folk a darn good podcast full of interesting facts. Heeeeeyyaaaaa
🐴🐎🐴
Thanks CJ
14:05. “Taking part in the Klondike gold rush in Alaska AND CANADA ….” Nice touch
I'm trying
Another great episode from a storytelling master... Josh Last name Unknown. Loved the intro.
A story you might like is the Christmas massacre of Pueblo Colorado. You are the best entertainment Josh.
I'll look into it, thanka
Hello Josh...Such a great episode...I had never heard of any of this...Hell, I didn't even know where Tuscosa was (or is, or how to spell it for that matter). Please give a listen to "The Sad Bag of Shakey Jake" by Humble Pie if you aren't already familiar with it...also "Outlaw Blues" by Dave Edmunds...genuine outlaw music..Your work and efforts are MUCH appreciated!!!
I'll give them a listen
@@WildWestExtravaganza Hey Josh...would you PLEASE consider adding Charles Surringo (sorry for spelling) to the list of possible future episode candidates...he is one of those names that pop up from time to time and yet, nobody knows anything about him...Thanks again!
Oh he's been on the list, we're def going to tackle that teller of tall tales
@@WildWestExtravaganza Oh no...I had hoped there was something to his tales...now I am kinda thinking "Brushy Bill" Sirringo....
Siringo was legit, he did a lot. But he's kinda like Jim Beckwourth in that he also did a whole lot of truth stretching
Hell yes Spotify list would be awesome! Josh i love what you do on your Chanel.
Thanks
Johnny had quite a life. Watch out for sneaky Sally.
Ole sneaky Sally
Wild West playlist suggestion: "Thoroughfare to Hell" - AC/DC
Sally took the money and run. Steve Miller Band. 1978. Don'😊t go there alone.
More suggested songs for the playlist:
Paul Revere - Beastie Boys
Mystery Train - Elvis
Irene - Leadbelly
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Birmingham Jail - Jerry Long
Great suggestions
Great episode as always Josh. I had heard of The Fight At Jenkins Saloon but had never really read up on it. I do have a topic suggestion. I was watching an old western TV series last night called Stories of The Century and one episode was about an outlaw named Harry Tracy. I had never heard of anyone doing any kind of videos about him. Would he be a good topic for you to cover on the channel?
Harry Tracy would absolutely be a good topic, coming soon
Hell yeah whoop
Good Stuff
Hell ya after work entertainment!!!
Hell yeah
The Catfish Kid deserved to win that fight.
He HAD to be one slippery S.O.B.!!!
Yaaaaaaaasssssssss
Yes Vote on the Music Playlist idea
Working on it
Love your podcasts and videos. Have you done a video show on Tom Horn yet?
Yep, but it's only on Patreon. Plan on rerecording
Pretty much everything from John D Hale band
It's amazing to think that LeeRoy Jenkins ancestors owned and ran this saloon! I guess impulsive leaps into action run in his bloodlines.
Create the list! I'd check it out.
I'd love to hear your take on the Doolin-Dalton gang and their shootout in Ingles,, OK!
Soon
Musical brothers from another muthas.
Wholeee crap, i have never even heard of this incident,,,,,excellent!
Josh I don't know how you do it but every one is better than last
Too kind!
If these are your first try at podcast story telling dude your a natural. Keep it in man
Good ol Frenchie. What a gal
What a peach
Idk about Johnny Cash. I love him as a crazy bastard speed freak back in the day. I love how he rolled but his voice sucks. He sounds like a guy trying to impersonate a guy with a deep voice. But yeah he’s a legend
Roger Alan Wade. You like RAW. Ok, i love you.
I love Roger Alan Wade. One of my favorite song writers of all time. The Deguello Motel album is a masterpiece.
Marty Robbins /Papa Roach
Hey can you do a story on Francis Slocum.... she was kidnapped from Pennsylvania and brought west to Wabash County Indiana by the Miami tribe .... its the story if my ancestors.. she 10x great aunt and my grandpa was almost full blooded Miami Indian... I would to see what you come up with in your research! I love your videos .. crack me up with sum shit you say ...keep up good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪 🤟🤘🖖🖖👈👉🤙✌️
You went pretty fast over the original sheepherder inhabitants who were they and what happened to them?
I also didn't discuss the people that occupied the land prior to the Comanche. Unfortunately this wasn't meant to be an exhaustive history of the panhandle, just a glipse of Tascosa during it's cowtown days and the lead up to the gunfight at Jenkins. I'm not really sure what happened to the sheepherders but it would be interesting to find out.
I'll go rhythm

Always strip to my tighty whiteys cowboy hat cowboy boots and 2x 6 shooter cap guns in their holster around my waist before I start watching any of your videos
