Most Feared Bounty Hunters of the Wild West: Charles Siringo...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- The term “gunfighter” is used heavily in discussions of the wild west. This is despite the word being a general phrase meant to describe a number of professions and lifestyles on the western frontier. Back in the old west, “gunfighter” could mean ranchers and cowboy archetypes you see in artistic representations of the time period.
It could also relate to polar opposites. Both lawmen and outlaws alike were forms of gunfighters, always armed and ready for a show, either for the greater good or the selfish bad. Gunfighters were also men, and sometimes women, who were otherwise members of everyday industries, such as farmers or teamsters, the drivers of wagons, stagecoaches and after the turn of the 20th century, automobiles.
Even folks stuck with the labels of “con man” and “gambler” were referred to generally as gunfighters, people who could defend themselves when their vice of choice led them into murkier waters. Of all the professions spanning all the industries, the most fascinating subgroup of gunfighters was the bounty hunters, men dispatched by both the government and powerful entities who venture out across the land in search of a man or woman who owes someone else money or other goods.
While bounty hunting wasn’t as popular a career as many Hollywood films and tales of the wild west suggest, it was a way for some of the most experienced and isolated gunfighters to make a living, while using their talents to the best of their abilities. To cover these intriguing and incendiary figures of western frontier lore, here’s the next video in our series of both famous and infamous bounty hunters, continuing with the legendary Pinkerton Detective and bounty hunter, Charles Siringo.

I appreciate your coverage at length, instead of a 5 to 10 minute bare outline of this formative era. - props.
Thank you! We started this channel in part due to that exact thought -- too much short-form old west content, not enough long-form essays and documentaries. Appreciate the feedback!
@@footprintsofthefrontier Your welcome, accolades earned.
-best wishes
The improvements y'all have been showing since the beginning is so fun to watch happen in real time! Will be honored to say I was one of the first subscribers one day when you hit 1 mil
We sincerely appreciate that! (And hope you have the chance to say that, too!)
Just this video alone introduced me to Mr Siringo and mustered a respect for the frontiersman. Ive already placed two of his books in my basket online.
We're honored to have made the introduction! Enjoy his works -- he was quite the storyteller himself.
this channel's production quality is impressive considering how new it is, keep up the good work guys hope it grows into something capable of supporting the whole team
We appreciate the kind feedback! We've definitely got some exciting plans in the future to boost our production value even further. We hope you stick with us!
this is the first time I've had the pleasure to see your excellent work. Keep up the interesting info and let the news flow. Great job done!!!
I love westerns. ❤
Well done. See also: SON OF THE OLD WEST: The Odyssey of Charlie Siringo (2023).
Really good video.
What could make a Southerner join the Pinkertons on the first place boggles the mind. Be nothing but trouble. A man cannot live well in two worlds.
Siringos life is proof of this.
His books are top notch. He was a hellava man for sure. Pinkerton or not.
A very fair analysis! And we agree about the writing. Wish he would have written more. Appreciate the feedback, Travis!
i liked the fact that he changed his mind and dumping every rotten woman claiming to control him (smart-man)!
Any book of his in particular worth the read? I'm looking to buy personal writings from the Frontier times.
As soon as i heard pinkertons i instantly thought of Agent Milton from red dead redemption 2 😭
Imagine what these hard ass man from the old west would think about this guy narrating their story 😂
Probably a lot more than what he'd think of you
I was thinking that it was Tom Horn and Frank Canton who said, that Charlie Siringo was a poor Lawman and tracker. I maybe getting my lawmen mixed up. That was during the time Tom Horn was a pinkerton, before he became a hitman.
I LOVE those new section titles. They look like something out of an old book!
I love history and reading, and of course the old west, guess I need to check his books out.
This is a great video, thank you.
I think a good follow up to this is a famous gunslinger. I’m certain there are similarities but also differences to both gunslingers and gunfighters.
Thanks for all of the feedback! Nat Love was definitely more of a "slinger" than a "fighter," so check out that video if you haven't already! We'll definitely have some more videos like that in the near future.
The old bounty hunter ! had the street smarts of the 1800s
Thanks y’all for your Coolbeans
Thank you
So we learned anyone who fights with a gun is a gunfighter. Nice
"Fights with a gun is a gun fighter" pretty much says it all right there, what would you prefer it be called? Lol
yep, this sucked.
Interesting video. But the poster says Ten Scars Make A Man. Not nine?
Back in the dar, the term "gunman was used in the way we use the term "swordsman".
This is a good video but it neglected to mention the role of Frank Stewart, who also worked for the LX and was a friend of Siringo. Stewart would go on to lead a contingent of cowboys who eventually joined with Siringo and his group who were also searching for Billy the Kid. Stewart was hired as a stock detective of the Canadian River Cattlemens Association (which became the Panhandle-Plains Cattlemens Association) and the two posses joined with Pat Garrett to finally corner the Kid and his gang at Stinking Spring in December, 1880. They captured the Kid and his gang and took them to Las Vegas, Santa Fe (for the reward), resulting in the Kid finally landing in the jail at Lincoln, New Mexico where they Kid escaped. See newly uncovered information in the book, "Chasing Billy the Kid: Frank Stewart and the Untold Story of the Manhunt for William H. Bonney" (2022).
great video ı like it 👍👏
You are a good storyteller, with an eye for worthy material.
Siringo had a genealogy more akin to a boy from the Bronx or Brooklyn than a Texan. Intriguing background story, nonetheless.
Respectively, try to use pictures of the era rather than photos of a desk with a calculator on it. I doubt the photos are authentic.
Confusing? Being "sent away to public school" sounds more like what Americans call Private School. American 'Public' schools in the days prior to 1900 were generally parochial schools run by the various relitions and private educators It was not until much later that the Protestant and Hebrews fourd it much less expensive to lobby the states for Public Education paid for by taxes on everyone, not just the tuitions of the parishioners.
You should have mentioned the vast population never shot a gun in anger nor defense. Gun fighting was the exception, not the norm.
Said he could talk mexican
Calling every man west of the Mississippi a "gunfighter" is just silly and not at all true. You are definitely misusing the term.
I pay bounty's.
Sounds like guy I'd like to meet and swap a few stories with.
Agreed! And with him on the other end of the table, we figure the conversations would last a lifetime.
Siringo would have plenty of stories to tell, he was good at making things up.
@@ironheadbill Aren't we all.
I thought a gun fighter was someone who made a living off of his gun. I don't think protecting your ranch made you a gun fighter.
This is the latest boring stories I've ever heard. All the famous outlaws he supposedly met is that's a lie to. His book is a total fabrication. All that totally lame and boring. Lie Lie Lie
Too much modern video footage and photos which completely take away from the story. Also a lot of your facts are wrong . Grade F for your episodes !
narrator is weak. can't watch. good luck

Brothels could have served him better

Interesting video. But the poster says Ten Scars Make A Man. Not nine?
