The Duke of Death: English Gunfighter John Bull

- Although John Bull remains relatively unknown today, the English-born gambler is considered one of the deadliest gunmen in the Old West. John plied his trade in boom towns across America, tallying up quite the body count and somehow managing to die with his boots off! #history #wildwest #western

Let's all acknowledge that Richard Harris played that part BRILLIANTLY in Unforgiven. What an awesome actor.
“Duck I says”
Sounds like a John Bull
Dang it you beat me.
Haha love it. I'm wondering why this dude didn't make that the title of the video
You been talking about that queen of yours again Bob? ON JUNETEENTH?
@@raimundotorres44 😂😂😂
"Born in England, the poor bastard!" You cheeky bastard 🤣
I might have gotten that wrong, Peel may have been born in Ireland
@@WildWestExtravaganza
What!? You cheeky fecker! 😂🇮🇪
@@WildWestExtravaganza May have been born in Ireland. But Peel is not an Irish surname. Most likely English, possibly he or his father were in British army and posted to Ireland? No true Irishman would sing the praises of the Queen of England on Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day or any other day 😀

@@davekeating.
Peel is definitely a English name .
Sir Robert Peel. Founder of the world’s first and largest metropolitan police force. Larger than New York.
That’s why they call them ‘old bill’ or ‘bobbiies’ or the scousers still call them ‘peelers’
"You been talking about the queen again Bob, on independence day!"
I guess you think I'm kicking you Bob.
These days, you'd have to ask "which queen?"
It's a beautiful example of the power of a fascist authority. It's just one of the most flawless films I've ever seen.
Butch Cassidy was also English; His Parker parents came from Preston, Lancashire.
Wrong. His mother came from Tyneside over in the NE of England near Newcastle. His father came from Accrington and they lived in Victoria Road, Preston- which still exists.
The duck of death
Duke
@@bighoss9705 it’s “duck” from the movie “unforgiven”
@@bighoss9705 ”Duck I said” now old Buddy Corkran was called 2 gun Corkran but never carried 2 guns….lol
I had to say it too
I am the terror that flaps in the night!
"You have insulted the honor of this beautiful woman, Corchran." Said The Duck
One of the greatest scenes of all time
Duck i says😮😮
Now…Corky never carried two pistols…although he should of lol and not wanting to cause an issue for Josh I’ll stop right there and won’t talk about the thing as big as the walker colt Corky carried…😅
@@michaeltwowolves3055 All Corcky ever did was sticking that thing of his in that French lady.
@@michaeltwowolves3055 It blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model.
“…. he better arm himself, if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend.”
Most of the gunslingers proberbly had British family memebers or they immigrated to the US when they were young.
It’s not John Bull, it’s English Bob
English bob was based on john bull
@@gunfighterzero not sure that’s correct , John Bull is a term for any English man in America at the time.
Just some yank talking bullpoop
@rolandtomassi3486 well that's the assumption, at least
@@gunfighterzero good movie and that’s all that matters, but on the train before they shoot the pheasants the guys asks him if he’s A John Bull,
Unforgiven! A great movie and one of my favorites. John Bull. What a character he was! Hey, you did a fantastic job with this history in the old west. Thank you 💛. Please send me more. I enjoyed very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We still love you josh,even though the wildwest eexxttrraagaanza is gone.At least we got to hear it for a little while.Thank you brother for another tale from the wild west.
I found this Podcast when I started at my current job. In 30 days, I got caught up and am now hanging on for "Drop Day". The wild frontier was a unexpected fascination. Never really gave it a lot thought. Thought it was mostly all just romanticized. It was, but Josh really does his research, and breaks it down. Sometimes the Truth hurts. Heroes in this world are only Human. Hollywood loves a good story. But the facts are the facts. Most everyone White hat or Black Hat walked a grey line.
Wyatt Earp is a perfect example of the "grey line".
@@Skedawg88 very much so. Loved that series Josh did. This was my first TH-cam watching of the podcast. Sub'ed when I found it. I am normally a Amazon Gremlin.
When I’m out mowing grass, there’s nothing better than listening to wild West extravaganza or a Sasquatch podcast
Heck yeah
Welp… guess I’m searching for the Sasquatch podcast now…
The Duck of Death.
...all he wa quacked up to be!
Josh, you got a knack for story tellin'. And as long as your tellin' Im a listenin'. Cheers bro.
"what's that for?... Snakes and such?"
In 1929 my grandpa was 21 years old in northwestern Kansas. Brings them closer to our day. Interesting story. 👍👍
Not that long ago
Lakin, KS?
@@beerdrinker6452 just north of Atwood Kansas in the extremely small town of Herndon Kansas.
It fascinates how how a long time ago wasn't really that long ago.
@@jamesholbrook7785 Lakin is where my dad was raised during the depression. They would farm wheat in both KS and CO. Lakin is in Ellis county.
I gotta say listening to you joking around while telling a good story makes it that much better. You make me laugh often and I just started listening to you.
Thank you!
Always hyped when a new video drops!
Thanks
Hate to break this to you - but the early Americans were mainly British / British Isles (ie English, Scottish, Welsh, Ulstermen, Irish). Even the ones who fought in the first Civil War for the Gnostic Cult Oligarchy (Dutch East India Company) for masonic New Rome (original name of Washington DC) versus the Hannoverian King / Crown and his Hannoverian/Hessian troops.
I don’t understand anything you just said
Come again
Lol
It all makes perfect sense now. Thank you!
@@WildWestExtravaganza He's a master of irrelevant information.
Glad to see your video numbers go up
Enjoy watching your channel
I am SO HOOKED on this content!!.....
I tip my hat to you Josh!
You do an amazing job telling the stories of the old west. Thank you sir!
Great job! And an extra shout out for your working "Unforgiven" into your excellent stories. Yes, you had me going with the Big Whiskey segment! Cheers!!!
Thank you so much I haven’t heard anyone say “drunker than cooter brown” in a few years reminds me of fun. Oh and you tell a good tale to bad you aren’t a history teacher I bet kids would actually like learning history when it’s not presented as dry dusty facts only It’s the stories that make it come alive. Keep up the great work. Thanks again
Excellent story and delivery. Really enjoy your channel. You mention that our modern era is not that far removed from early America west expansion. I’ve always thought about this Becuase when I was a kid I saw a film in the theatre called “little Big Man”.
The entire film is the collection of stories from the old man in the hospital, his life story.
For me that was when I realized how close we are to those times.
Yeah that's a very thought provoking film.👍
Rounders is such a great movie
Yes sir
Well, for those of us cinema types that love westerns, of course the Unforgiven was my first thought about Mr Bull. The fact that he lived until 1929 like his contemporary Wyatt Earp says a lot about outliving the wild west. You get extra credit for quoting Guy Clark in my estimation
Solid, as always! Appreciate you, sir 👊 ❤🇺🇸
I appreciate you
The duck of death 😂love it
Hey Josh! I'm a farmer.....whuddya saying 😅
As I understand the farmers were the real bad asses of the old west. I think Costner had it twisted in Open Range.
Nice Glorious Son reference! Come Heavy or don't come at all!
Farmers are definitely badass
Farmers are tough old buggers .
Don't mess with farmboys
@@freefall9832Farmboys is slang for gay boys
@MattiasSvanberg1987 interesting, it wasn't slang when I was young. There are a lot ot of subgroups nowadays with all their pronouns. In my day, farmboys were fit and capable of strong physical activity.
Danny McBride is a masterful narrator.
Can’t wait to listen to this one at work in about 2 hours know it’s going to be good so going to go ahead and smash that like button now
Thank you for pointing out the ROBOT B...S..T......We love your commentary.....You did refure to your self as an idiot...You are not at all an idiot ....."Oh contrere"You have enlightened myself as many others.....I once was told by a wise man, never to say anything negative about oneself......What you have told us deserves a great movie.....Keep up the great work we very much appreciate you Fella....Thank you for allowing my comment....God bless you and your family....
Thanks
Kenny Powers does history now!
The Duck of death you mean..
😂...
Brilliant film , the unforgiven...
One of the best
The Duck of Death. Never gets old
Agreed
a writer?.. letters n such
Haha
Duck of death. 😅
Duck I say's!
😂😂
Very interesting, never heard of John Bull before. Thanks Josh!
Josh dropped another one!! Yay!!🎉🎉🎉
Great to quote Guy Clark !!
Ya got no laws ya got no honor
My wife grew up in Sierra Leone, W Africa when it was under British rule. She says all adult British men were called John Bull.,.
Best channel on TH-cam!
He's been talking about the queen again. On Independence day.
This time he did it on Juneteenth, oh the horror and sheer audacity.
Great job of narrating, thanks! Semper Fi
Thanks for listening
Unforgiven ! Great movie !
Agreed
It's probably not the best idea to play "practical jokes" on us more adult combat veterans, we rarely appreciate it. I'm not saying we never do, I'm only saying we might not always will.
Great history, thank you so much for your excellent recounting of it too. Well done, Sir.
Long tail frock coat shiny toed boots and a small hat cocked to one side😂😂😂😂 I am surprised onlookers didn’t die laughing 😂😂😂
My father was 20 years old when John Bull died. Makes me think, this does.
Awesome
Glorious episode !
I once played a computer game of poker. I bet heavily on a hand that probability told me should be winning. But the computer had the next higher hand up and cleaned me out. And to my surprise, I was so mad I was absolutely sure the computer was cheating. But of course it wasn't. It was just a normal game of poker. And that told me that if you were a gambler in the Old West, you were also going to be a murderer, whether you wanted to be or not. Just the nature of the game and the time and place. It is well to remember that in the current day.
Good content. Interesting to hear about your a.i. immitator. Incidentally, I prefer your commentary at 0.75% speed. Makes you sound like a character from the wild west. Keep up the good work! From Oxford England
Thanks England!
1 x i messed w a craftsman after return from his smoking lunch break. He'd been raving about the Pope running the world b4 lunch. I tolt him 2 priests stopped by axing 4 him. Never a damn 'gain. He was not actin' crazy. No damn act. Nvr 'gain.😮
I ❤ Unforgiven!
I'll have that 32 Bob
You would leave me at the mercy of my enemies?
@@WildWestExtravaganzaenemies Bob??
Great story enjoyed it very much
Pretty good... for a John Bull.
But can the robot roll it's Rs?
Haha probably better than me
The best R rollers imo are the Scottish especially from Edinburgh. I once worked with one and one day somebody brought in a Tortoise and my Scots friend said in a heavily accent “it’s a “ToRRRtoise”😂
As I am a London cockney I said “Oh no its not its a Taught-us”
Obviously both wrong if spoken by you guys over the water.
Anyways love your Narration and have subbed❤
Would love to here you do something on more of us Limeys, national archives have amazing true tales on them going over the pond in the criminal section.
Ps note if interested. curly for a bald person was ‘Cockney rhyming slang, originated in the east-end of London in the 1840s. It was used widely by market traders, who used it to disguise what they were saying to each other from passers-by.
It works by taking a phrase that rhymes with a common word, and then replacing that word with the phrase. For example, a "butcher's hook" is "look". Eg: Would you have a butcher's hook at that?
M
These phrases are often shortened as well, so instead of a butcher's hook, you would generally say "would you have a butcher's at that".
The name John Bull was a fictional character used to describe a proper English Gentleman and was introduced in the 18th century by John Arbuthnott 💯😉
imagine being a 10 year veteran at 22... insane
Gee-Zus do you make me laugh. Some of those one-liners . THANK YOU!
Thank YOU
Ohhhhh Gene Hackman...now THAT was a western movie
One of the greatest
NO NO SPEECH TEACHER / THEY DID THAT TO JOHNNY CASH AND THEY SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT BIG TIME WITH THAT VOICE SO JOHN TRIED ALL KINDS OF THINGS TRYING TO CHANGE HIS VOICE / UNTIL ONE DAY HE SAID TO HELL WITH THIS CHANGING HIS VOICE THING AND SAID THIS IS THE VOICE GOD GAVE ME AND THAT'S WHO I AM SO LETS GET ON WITH IT . AND HIS GOD GIVEN VOICE IS UNMISTAKABLE / NO MAN HAS A VOICE LIKE JOHNNY CASH / R.I.P. OLD MAN / KEEP THE FAITH , JESUS SAVES / IF YOU TRY TO DO ANYTHING IN LIFE WITH OUT GOD ALL MIGHTY IN IT, YOU WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED / WORK IT OUT WITH JUST HIM AND YOU / ONCE YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW NEVER LET GO
Very interesting, as usual. Thanks!
HERE WE GO!😊
Peel, was hampered in his draw by the woman holding his arm. Bull, was a paper tiger that took advantage of others when they were not ready for a fight.
I would assume that if you lived the life as they did in those days, you would have to always look for the advantage. Bill the butcher believed in a fair fight, an Irish chap walked into the bar and shot him. He beat their Irish champion in a boxing match, Bill a man of English descent who was not ready, he should have been.
Why risk losing a fair fight when you can easily win an unfair one? Life isn’t a boxing ring.
@@rickwalker2 so you’re cool with murder?
@@quest4adventure495 how did you reach that conclusion? A fair fight doesn’t mean that it’s not murder.
@@rickwalker2 Said every Uniparty candidate who aspired to political office.
Its even better when you imagine this dude wilding out like that with an English accent. Art looks great , man, noticed it rhebother day!
Brother - you don’t even have to mess with your “extravaganza” just do it the way you’ve been doing it it was really good, so there you go. - Yeehaw.!
As an English Lord I approve of this message. (Except for the Queen part, God rest her soul)
Awesome video. Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Very good video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great story as always 👍👍
Thanks for listening
You have excellent content here, great job. I would comment but I don't feel worthy. Ouch, my eye!
Hell of a story!
Guy's a freakin' MANIAC!!!!
How about an episode on Bill Williams? The real life Josie Wales?
Good suggestion
The man on the right looks like Kris Kristofferson if he got smacked with a frying pan on both sides of his face . 🤣🤣🤣
"talkin about the queen again?? On Independence day!!!"
Great story. Is that the only photo of gamblers available though? It got old very quickly...
Yep, only ones
Fun fact - English Bob was born in Limerick, served in the Confederate cavalry, and did a stint in the Pennsylvania coal mines before heading west.
English Bob or John Bull?
@@WildWestExtravaganza The person in the phot of course.
Fun fact - English Bob was a made up character in a movie of course.
@@paulshell1729 Of course he was. You may want to look up Richard Harris' movie career.
I can't think of the movie but I remember a western with a character named English Bob sounds like was based on John bull
The Queen is dead, long live the King. Cheers from 🇨🇦 now renamed to Canuckistan.
There's some hon-yock wanting to rag on You for pronouncing it warshington Josh. I think that he is just another of the Great Unwarshed ! Thanks for sharing Your efforts.
Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
My father was a 1928 model
Nice

Thank you
You're welcome!
I would have guessed for sure that John Bull was a character made up for the movie. Nice one to pull out of your……….hat, there Josh. That’s why you are the best!
Isn't anyone going to give Corky "Two gun" Corkran a shout out! They called him that because he had a duck that was longer than the barrel of his Colt Walker pistol! And the only offense he committed was to put it in the gal that English Bob fancied. 😂 Could be that John Bull is really English Bob. I have often wondered how many of the fastest, and deadliest men on the frontier went unnoticed by historian's simply because they quietly stayed under the radar by remaining anonymous. Having said that, our heroic icons like Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, and Kid Antrem were legends in their own time for good reason. They needed no cause other than to be pushed against the air at their backs to defend themselves.
This was great loved it tough fucker there I love the old gunfighters
How many of you guys seen all Josh' videos I've been watching since bloody beaver seen em all
Old school
@@WildWestExtravaganza yup
they didnt even use a sexy woman voice to steal your stuff? thats cold
Exactly
I thought it was english bob from unforgiven " well he can go stuff him self to cant he a plaugue on ya a plague on ya all !! "
I love that saying and that 19th century wit. We call him Farmer for the same reason we call a bald-headed man curly and a fat man or a large man tiny.
Brother, rolling rrrrrrrs is genetic. I've had so many friends from around the world trying to show me for so long😂😂😂. It's fuckin Impossible . It's because I'm Irish. 😂😂😂 keep doin you man. Love this channel.
Appreciate y’all
Likewise!
Thanks Josh, Love the new logo. Enjoyed this short but sweet one on Mr. Bull. Till next time, and I will beware the imposters...AI voice such a D-bag.
Thanks man
