God was trying so hard to change this man's direction!! Talk about missing the signs. Bless his heart. Great story. Laughed out loud at poor ole Dick and his poor foot.
🎼Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me! 🤷♀️🤣🤷♀️ That guy was something else! All the songs you play in the background, are songs I grew up singing. ♡
Another amazing story. My daughter and I listened to this while she is getting ready for school. His perseverance was inspiring. His horsemanship was hilarious.
ROFL I don’t know who was more stupid. The outlaw or the governors of California. You would think people who are supposedly book smart would be able to figure out that actions that send you to prison and letting them loose really doesn’t work.
Poor wee Dickie... and his comedy of errors. I agree you have to admire his perseverance, but imagine who he'd have been if he'd applied himself to positivity instead... Great entertainment this one! Always enjoyable! Thanks for doing what you do!
OMG This was hilarious JD! What an incredibly inept & unlucky &stupid “criminal”. This had me laughing out loud! I needed this to take my mind off my pain & I do thank you for that! Keep em coming as you have the most interesting and varied stories
I couldn't help but to laugh throughout this entire episode😂 . I'm from Laurel Co Ky so to hear a story about a guy with so much bad luck from a surrounding county made me laugh alot.
They did, it called Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda.😆 At least that's what I thought during the narration. Lee Marvin's character was terrible with a horse 🐎.
Breaking the law is wrong but I had to laugh and laugh at the horse problems he had. Maybe that's where the saying, "Stop horsing around!", came from. Thank you JD!
Oh my gosh, this story had me laughing. Thank you for sharing. A great way to start the week. And yes I agree with you where ever he went he probably walked there.😂
George Brittain Lyttle was living with his sister Sally and her husband Harvey Hatton on the 1920 Knox County, Kentucky census. Sally died in 1922 and in Jun 1922 he is mentioned along with his brother Carlo and mentioned in the wedding announcement or their sister Lenora. Another Jun 1922 newspaper article states he was moving to Cincinnati to teach Spanish
What a crazy tale... almost want to feel sorry for him ☺️ I think I would have took it as a sign after the first few strokes of "bad luck"...Lol... Thanks JD... you're a fine storyteller 🤗❤️
Well, this guy definitely sums up the phrase "if it wasn't for bad luck, id have no luck at all "!😂 great story telling as usual. Im addicted to this channel at the moment!
I couldn't stop laughing! How could someone have such horrendous misfortune? Yet not just give up, time after time?! When are they going to make a movie about this guy's story?!
"Giving up time and time again" sounds like NOT REALLY GIVING UP AT ALL. Sounds more like still trying . If give up u jus give up. U can't fail anymore.
When I wrote this story, I did my best to transport listeners back in time to be right beside the bad luck bandit and help dust him out each time he fell
Man, what a story! 🤣 And funny! Wow lawyer turned outlaw! And his poor foot! 🤣 🤦♀️ I love the guitar playing in this and your voice is perfect for narrating!
I believe that if Dick had any sense he would’ve waited until the invention of the automobile before robbing any stagecoaches. LOL Thank you JD, I sure enjoyed this story. 👍🇺🇸👍
JD, I'm an old Roane County boy living up here in Northwest Ohio. I found your channel a couple of months back and my wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. This story today made us chuckle. It's an amazing story. Keep up the good work.
What and incredible chain of events, this guy was destined for a lifetime of reinventing himself. What a great upload just purely loved it. Thanks for taking the time to put it together for your TH-cam family. I bet Dick either settled down in some old watering hole somewhere....or....he moved to Canada. haha🤠
I laughed harder than I should have. But what a great way to enjoy my morning coffee. Hahaha. The way you tell the stories are the best. Thank you for sharing with us. May God Bless you and yours. Keep them coming. 😊
I think the Lord was trying to tell Dick something. Horse luck? Lololo! He would have been better off writing a book about his exploits after getting out of Quentin the second time. If at first you don't succeed try try...San Quentin. Tenacious he was. Thanks JD
Hi JD! This should be called the outlaw that couldn’t. Apparently he was not destined to be an outlaw. Maybe if he would have taken the straight and narrow path, his life would have been better. He was not a family man either, far from it. Another great story JD. Have a blessed day!
Such a good story, I’m from Foggertown nestled just on the Laurel and Clay County in KY. I’ll have to look into more and see if I can connect anymore dots.
I believe he must have hit his head when that first horse threw him. Nobody can just have that much bad luck. He must have had a few screws knocked loose and just couldn't think right anymore.🤣 Great story and a lot of smiles and chuckles while watching this video. Thank you for another great story and keep them coming.

When I started listening to this story I did not expect to laugh so hard.
😆 😂
Idk if I've laughed this hard about a story tht I don't believe was intended to be funny but I'm done . 🤣😅
Another amazing story. My daughter and I listened to this while she is getting ready for school. His perseverance was inspiring. His horsemanship was hilarious.
😂
@@Roth-Steyr1994 You can be inspired by anyone. One thing I don't do is take advice from people I don't know.

He couldn’t win for losing

What a story. Thanks!

Hahaha through this whole story I had flashbacks of Hee Haw, Gloom Despair and Agony on me.
Fella couldnt catch a break
What a crazy tale... almost want to feel sorry for him ☺️ I think I would have took it as a sign after the first few strokes of "bad luck"...Lol...

One funny yet exciting story, laughed so hard excellent stuff.
Thank you Sir!
I couldn't stop laughing! How could someone have such horrendous misfortune? Yet not just give up, time after time?! When are they going to make a movie about this guy's story?!
I thought the same!
"Giving up time and time again" sounds like NOT REALLY GIVING UP AT ALL. Sounds more like still trying . If give up u jus give up. U can't fail anymore.
After that much bad luck someone should re-think they're employment choices!!! Great story! Awesome channel.
Thank you!
That is some story one I’ve never heard thank you
Thanks for watching my friend
Reminds me of another set of stories, roadrunner and a coyote!
😆
Would make a great comedy movie.
I think so too
Iam SO in. Thank you for bringing these stories to life.
Thank you Loris! Thank you for your support! JD
This has got to be my favorite...so far. I'm listening to it over and over.

Great Story! I got a good laugh out of it 😂. Thanks JD. It’s always better to laugh at someone else’s mishaps than our own 😂
Thanks so much Denise!

Whoa this guy has got to be the most jinxed person ive ever heard of

When I wrote this story, I did my best to transport listeners back in time to be right beside the bad luck bandit and help dust him out each time he fell
I laughed so hard at Dick's incompetence as an outlaw!😂
🤣
Finally a true American hero.
😂

This guy is like one of those comical characters you see in an old western but in real life dressing up the tree's and such!!!😂😂🤠

I don't know how he walked far with all that damage to his foot. A whole new meaning to "I can do it!" 😆 Thank you..awesome story 👏
Thanks so much!
What a great story! I'm enjoying your stories so much, JD!
Thank you Nancy!
Omg this guy and his luck with horses is hilarious! It makes me believe that something wanted him caught
🤣
That guy couldn’t catch a break.
unless it was his foot!
Sounds like my life story!
❤️
Your voice is so appropriate for the channel
Thank you so much!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller It’s a rustic voice and tuned for the time period. Just like Casey Kasem and America’s top 40 in the 70’s.
@@scootermagee6680 WOW what a complement! I grew up listening to Casey Kasem
This story is too funny! This guy was definitely persistent! lol
A for effort
What a story! A life of misfortune and no viable plan...a comedy, for sure! Thanks for a great story😊
Thanks Homegrown!
I think the Lord was trying to tell Dick something. Horse luck? Lololo! He would have been better off writing a book about his exploits after getting out of Quentin the second time. If at first you don't succeed try try...San Quentin. Tenacious he was. Thanks JD
New subscriber and I’m really enjoying your channel. You’re an amazing storyteller. ❤️👍🏻
Thank you Catherine!
I just laughed and laughed!
If it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all!
Yup 👍🏼
This one had me cracking up 😂

Its true my friend!
Love it!! Great story!!
Thank you Connie

Great show. Entertaining and informative. And funny.
Thank you!
Such a good story, I’m from Foggertown nestled just on the Laurel and Clay County in KY. I’ll have to look into more and see if I can connect anymore dots.
Let us know what you find out
I believe he must have hit his head when that first horse threw him. Nobody can just have that much bad luck. He must have had a few screws knocked loose and just couldn't think right anymore.🤣
Great story and a lot of smiles and chuckles while watching this video.
Thank you for another great story and keep them coming.
Thank you sir!
We need to make a movie about his poor foot 😂
I know right!
I hope you get the help you need .
He wasn't a horseman for sure 😎
you got that right
Poor fella 😂. Should have taken the signs the good Lord was giving him.
Yup 👍🏼
Thanks again
Good stuff man....👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍preciate you!
