Lawman: Dangerous Dan Tucker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2024
- Dangerous Dan Tucker would arrive in the southwest in the mid-1870s, pin on the badge of a Sheriff’s Deputy, and, in a very short amount of time, tally up a body count surpassed only by the likes of John Wesley Hardin and Deacon Jim Miller. To quote historian Leon Metz, Tucker was a better lawman and more dangerous than high-profile figures like Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickok.
But who was he really? Is it true that Dan Tucker once took out half a dozen of the Tombstone Cowboys in one fell swoop? And what about the stories of Doc Holliday giving Dan a wide berth due to his deadly reputation? #history #western #wildwest

Dan tucker wasnt famous because he never got killed in some big gunfight and he didnt run his mouth...
Thanks for this video. David Tucker, who has never gotten recognition, was a much tougher lawman than more lauded men like Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson ever were. A no nonsense individual. While Earp and Masterson were essentially gamblers and opportunists who wore a badge when it suited them, Tucker was a lawman first and foremost. Nothing less.
Like Bass Reeves?
@@pamelamehl5668 Yes. Both men dedicated to their profession. Although Tucker's career did not extend beyond a corner of New Mexico. Reeves was a Deputy US Marshal with jurisdictional in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. Reeves was so dedicated he even arrested his own son for murder. Now THAT is integrity.
Every episode is filled with information....thank you
My pleasure
@@WildWestExtravaganzaAll this information fills up episodes...thank you.
Josh, as someone who has done video and audio production, I want to commend you on your fine work. With our busy live it gets easy to half -ass it. You never do. That is the mark of a true professional. Thanks so much for all your hard work and effort!!
I really appreciate that, thank you
Thank you for your excellent rendering of the story of another obscure old west lawman. Being a long retired third generation peace officer, those that served before me hold a genuine interest. My father, and his brother were officers in the late 1940s well into the early 1960s. Prior to them, it was my grandfather and his brother that were lawmen from the mid 1880s through the early 1930s. And prior to them there was an ancestor who was a member of the Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion in the late 1870s through 1890s.
So stories about old lawmen appeal to this old man spending his days reminiscing. Again, many thanks.
Long history of lawmen
Salute, Sir!!!
@@geofftaylor934 My thanks sir. You humble me. 🫡
Thank You for your Service Sir! Lawmen like you are much needed Today!
@@timwilliams8343 I suppose I'm the last of my family as a peace officer. However, we've served our country in the military since 1776 until my time in Vietnam. And that ends too I suppose as I have no children to continue in either profession. It was our honor to serve our country and community over these many years.
God bless the United States of America and I hope we survive the efforts of those bent upon destroying it from within. I pray they loose and our great nation remains strong.
Ranger, out...
I just love this channel and how you go about mixing comedy and history. The great part it's historically accurate
Glad you enjoy it!
Josh I’ve listened to everyone of your stories/videos!

Wow, thank you!

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face with a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
The hound dog barked and billy goat jumped
And landed old Tucker on a stump
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Old Dan Tucker got drunk an fell
In the fire and kicked up holy hell
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
An oh my Lord the ashes flew
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Now Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging them ladies all round
First to the right an then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved best
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Yes sir
@@davedean1571 LOL! My Dad used to joke with me about this song as a kid, I never put it together until 25+ years later, now with this video, who Dan Tucker was.
Heard this one before 😂
@@ncole90 the songs about old Dan tucker a doctor during the revolutionary area up ended up on the savannah river in Elbert county Georgia
Who else got their own song, which we learned in grade school, for chrissakes...
I’ve been here since 1,000 subs I’m so happy for you and this channel
Thanks man!
Another great show. I'm a western buff but I've never heard of him before. Really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Ron
Bet your glad this months over. I’ve been waiting and it’s 100% worth that wait. Ty
It was a very long month
I was considering making a channel like this one when I found it doing research. I decided there was no need after watching the videos. Thanks for the entertainment and information.
Josh, i always look forward to your videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Angie Dickinson rocked the Double Deuce Mano approach.
Freeze! La Policia!
Excellent! LOVE you sharing these stories.
As always legendary, much love from Ireland 🇮🇪.

Another outstanding episode Josh.🤠😎
Many thanks
Another Great show
Keep up the amazing work
Thanks! I’m trying
We’re in for a good one!
Regarding the concussions of the pistols “blowing out” the lamps in the saloon:
1. These lamps were not made of Pyrex glass.
2. The lamps would have used oil with a burning wick to create the light. This means the glass of the lamp would be hot on the inside and the heat would have exited the lamp and gone straight up. Glass is a thermal insulator so there could have been a significant temperature differential between the outside and inside of the glass that put physical strain on the crystalline structure. The sharp gradient produced by the sudden over-pressure of the concussion could be enough to break fragile glass or maybe it just blew out the flame of the wick.
3. At a card table, a chandelier with oil lamps in the 1880s would probably be positioned very low over the table to adequately illuminate the cards for the players. When players stood up and raised their weapons, the muzzles could have been very close physically to where the lamps actually were. Either the concussion could have disturbed the flame or the continuing ignition of the black powder propellant for a distance past the exit from the muzzle might have exhausted available oxygen in proximity of the lamp.
please never stop making content man this stuff is gold
I can’t do anything else
Glad you're back, Mr.Josh.
Me too!
Went through Shakespeare many times when I lived in Tombstone, first interesting anecdotes I've heard about that dust farm....good work Josh!
"Stabby McStabFace"...🤣🤣🤣
That's a good one...well thought out!🤜🤛
Actual human narration is still the best!!!! I hope your channel explodes as an alternative to that one dimensional hollow AI format ❤
Thank you Josh, because of you I acquired a pair of reading glasses, in which my Granddaughter gets a dollar every time she declares they are on my Grey head. Seriously, love what you do. 👍
That is awesome
I like the way You tell a story about Us Texicans! Especially when We screw up!
Good evening sir!!
Excellent thread man, very entertaining.
Just gonna say i enjoy this show. Thanks for the awesome episodes!
Glad you enjoy it!
YEEEHAA!!! Keep up the great work Josh!
Thanks!!
It is a good day for a new upload since it is “hotter than a bastard” outside.
That it is
@@WildWestExtravaganzaIt is so hot that I saw a 🐈 chasing a 🐿️. They were both walking.
Man, I love this channel. Awesome history, told the way I like to hear it.
Much appreciated
Get out the way for Ol Dan Tucker, He's too late to stay for supper, Suppers gone and Breakfast cookin' , Ol Dan Tucker standing there lookin' .
My Grandad used to set me on his knee and bounce me to that song and then toss me up when the hound gave a yelp and the goat gave a jump 🎶🤠
Dan Dan was a dirty old man,
Washed his feet in a fryin pan,
Picked hit teeth with a pigs toenail,
Combed his hair with a donkey’s tail!
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker,
He’s too late to get his supper.
Supper’s gone, diner’s cookin,
Old Dan Tucker just a standin there a lookin.
Hey Josh, check out Six years with the Texas Rangers by James B Gillett. He served from 1875-1881, the book is a wealth of information on not only Texas Ranger history but also indian depredations in and around Texas, punitive expeditions against them afterward, the Salt Wars, John Wesley Hardin, chasing Victorio into Mexico, etc. An absolute wealth of knowledge and history. After the Rangers, he worked under Dallas Stoudemayer as deputy marshall in a town im sure you've heard of. Love your channel, keep up the good work. A Librivox recording is available on TH-cam if you cannot secure a copy of the book.
Will do
Thankyou.
I appreciate your work, and how hard you work At it.
Peace
My pleasure
I wish my name was "Dangerous Dan". Dammit mom.
You can always change it legally
@@WildWestExtravaganza that's a dam good point.
Or be Crazy Kurt, Killer Kurt, Courageous Kurt... Though mom probably preferred Courteous Kurt would be my guess 😂
Ah, the McStabface, Backshot feud goes on. And once again a McStabface loses another round in this brutally one sided affair.
I love the idea the gunfights in Shakespeare often started with shouts of "Curly Bill! I knoweth though made the beast with two backs with my favorite harlot! I shall popeth a cap in thine ass!" Who knew?
Josh is back 🙌 kick ass
"Bust a cap." First encountered the term in, "Nam": thought it was slang coined by Black soldiers like, "Up in the war." Maybe that phrase predates Vietnam as well....
Just wanted to thank you for enlightening us on the origin of
Love the history, great story.
Thanks for listening
Justb what I needed this evening .A good old western story for4 bdtime lol. Hey Josh
Sweet dreams
Keep em coming 🩸🦫
Yes sir
Always enjoyable content Josh. Thank You for the research effort to compile these episodes. Hope that You are doing better now. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Much appreciated
Love your channel bro! Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks! I’m trying!
Lots of pressure out the gap of revolvers cylinders and barrel! Possibly how Dan got some burn wonds ! Wasn’t there a little song about Old Dan Tucker lol thanks for the video!!
@WildWestExtravaganza Congrats on another outstanding story! Well-researched, nuanced and narrated! Have to wonder if Dan was illiterate and that may have contributed to him being shunned or ignored by journalists and politicos?
Excellent as usual. Thanks
Thanks again!
Good stuff!! I heard you mention Ned Buntline! His story is pretty great! Thanks as usual for your show
Thanks
Your a great story teller! Love your style! I’ll be back…
Thank you
My first time enjoying your banter good show.
Thanks man
That's called an uncomfortable kill!!! That's why The late Great Carlos Hathcock only has 93 confirmed kills!!!
Your awesome dude and awesome video be safe out there big fan of wild west
Thanks! You too!
Welcome back, Josh!
Thanks

I don't recall if I've said it before, but DAMN love your content. Keep up the good work Josh.
Thank you!!!!
Get out the way, of Ole Dan Tucker hes too late to get his supper suppers over and breakfast cookin, Ole Dan Tucker just stands there lookin. #3rd grade music class....Mrs. Sullivan participation was not optional ...non compliance swiftly dealt with via a wooden yardstick. 50+years later I still remember every song she taught us. Camptown Races still my favorite. thank you for the story sir
Thanks for the great content. 👍🏻 🍻 Cheers 🍻
No problem
Love your stories.
I would love to hear you do a story on the Massacre of Wild horse Lake.
It took place in the Oklahoma Panhandle between two Kansas towns.
Oklahoma Panhandle was not part of the United States at the time it happened and the shooters all got off Scott Free.
It is a good story you will like to read and probably like to tell
Keep it up man !!
Always!
Yeah, that was a problem with mobs. The only mob that used a sight up sheet was Hedley Lamar's in Blazing Saddles.
From Canada? 🇨🇦 Maybe the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, then known as the North West Mounted Police, has some sort of record on him…if that was even his real name. This truly was a great narrative and Thank You.👍
I haven't broken any laws, and I respect everyone. I''m just defending my boundaries.
Huh???
We like the unknown just as much man keep it coming
Love way tell story wish teacher more like you
Yeeee HAAA, let's gooooo, been waiting on this 🤠
Let’s goooo
History always seems to forget or ignore the innocent people.
To Mr. Pordoux , hope I didnt butcher your name to bad, but thank you good sir you are one in a million!
Knocked it out of the park again, sir.🫡
Thanks man
Great stuff! Thanks
Thanks
I'm glad I have found your channel! I like the duster movies and stories. I have run western rpgs and these videos give me great background information!
Glad you like them!
Did he or did he not wash his face in a frying pan? Was he actually late for supper?
@lyonknives1784 And did he die with a tooth are in his heel
Who the heck is this "dangerous " Dan Tucker? I've never heard of him😂😂😂😂
66,000 Subscribers badass man
Thank you Josh . Love the wild West extravaganza content maybe one day you'll be able to do an episode on Irish gun fighter James H. Leavy from the book the deadly dozen.
I think I most likely will
HELL YES!!!
Opie still sings about him and he knows good lawmen.
You the man Josh🍺
I’m a babbling fool
Great to hear the story behind the name, "Dangerous Dan Tucker", who I've heard about only 2 or 3 times, and without any elaboration beyond mention of him bein a lawman. I'm watchin for your previous episodes, as I run across them, and watch any I have not seen, once in a while, I start one and realize I did see it already, an dependin, I watch it thru again. I don't know if you have heard of Bill McDonald, a Capt. in the Texas Rangers. Morenlikley, you have, though he ain't as well known as some Rangers got to be, his rangerin adventures were as 'wild an wooly' as any of even the best known, even more so, then some of Them. Anyhow, I know you would do a great episode or two, as usual, built around him. I will be watchin in case u do. Actually, I be watchin anyhow.All the best.
Thanks for watching
I can see why the prisons back then weren't over crowded. Salt deeds for 1598??? I'll be there was a lot of Comanches around back then. I'm reminded of that song "Get out the way - old Dan Tucker." Perhaps his later drinking could be his using it as a pain killer for all those bullet wounds. One of the traits of psychopaths can be a lack of fear and trepidation. Handy traits for surgeons and early law men. Hollywood is dearly in need of a new Western along the lines of Silverodo. This one could just be titled Dan Tucker. Great story. Thanks.
Thanks for listening
Really appreciate the hard research as well instead of reading the most popular. Theres another mediocre yter whos info was incorrect and sounded like he just read the wiki. Watching your video, u corrected them on every mistake. Nice work
Thank you, I appreciate that
Stabby McStab Face... Nice!! I love it!
Oh yeah!
I heard it was more of an Elktache rather than a Moosetache.
Interesting story, well executed as always.
I’ll look into it. Huge if true
Love Stabby McStabface. Shakespeare is a National Historic Location. It is open for tours and everyone should go. BTW, there is no known picture of Tucker.
Every time I watch this video, I find myself singing old Dan Tucker.
Sing loud
most saloons were about the size of a two story 1 car garage
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you
Welcome!
Get out the way for old dan tucker.🎵🎵🎵
🎻 I went to town the other night, I heard the noise and saw the fight. The watchman, he was running round, Say'n old Dan Tucker's back in town!
Get out the way for ol' Dan Tucker... He's too late to get his supper! Supper's over and breakfast cookin', Old Dan Tucker just stands there a lookinnn'.
