Raven, This is one of the few years that I've actually had to drop my 18th century waistcoat and just stick with my linen work shirt and I'll tell you that big old baggy linen work shirt is not too bad on a hot summer today.
I had this same conversation with some historians. It was over a picture of colonial times. I said it was correct because they were going through the woods, it was hot. Heat stroke and other heat related injuries were just as good then as now. Now at the time you dressed for battle, but farmers and woodsman got around the best they could.
Just realized where parasol comes from. In spanish an umbrella is called paraaqua, or literally for water. Parasol translates to for the sun. Educational as always. Thanks Santee!
Well Santee, not my average Saturday morn'n where I would sit around & drink coffee and watch Arizona Ghost riders but I finally got to it. Hey Miss Rita, indeed, thank God for the educators in this country.
I remember having this drink in the late 70s. I had to look it up again, and one article called it the early American energy drink. It's called Switchel. Made from water, apple cider vinegar ginger, and molasses. Some added lemons, and it could even be made into a punch by adding rum. It was generally used during haying time, hence another name : Haymaker's Punch. Now if you didn't have molasses, then sorghum or honey was used instead. This New England drink did make it to the Frontier and beyond. Interesting that it was served in early Congress and enjoyed by not only visitors but the elected as well...with RUM in it. The punch bowl was kept full all day. Every day that Congress met these men dipped into the Swirchel bowl, often orating with glass in hand!
A buddy who worked as an EMT at Havasu Indian Reservation told me you still had Arizonans who wore the buttoned down long sleeve cowboy shirts and cowboy hats to protect from the sun; albeit they were fewer and far between due to the influx of California sun worshippers.
1:28 funniest clip ever! 😂 excellent transition to that heatwave clip! I’m in the Central Valley in California and the heat was 110! I feel ya brother!
Thanks Mr. Santee!! Your videos, nothing compares, to your efforts! I have read Vanishing Arizona, by Mrs. Summerhayes! Reminds us to be THANKFUL for our Modern conveniences!! Stay cool Sir!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah, Refrigerators,= cold drinks, 🥤🧉🥂 fresh produce, 🥑🍏🥦🍌un- melted butter, 🧈🧈for our bread🍞🍞 and corn on the Cob,🌽🌽 as you might guess, I love to eat!!
YIKES, how did they ever endure the stifling heat?🥵 Thanks for tackling this subject again, Santee. As ALWAYS, the timely pics, and your background info made for another A+ episode. Stay COOL. 👏🤠👏🏜
Well, they didn’t have the synthetic fabrics we have today. Natural fibers are a lot more breathable. Clothing that covers your skin, like long sleeves and pants, also keeps the sun off. If they’re a little loose, even better. That allows for more airflow. It’d still be hot as hell tho. I’m glad to have air conditioning.
Not really, Brody. You get used to it, like you do the cold. I've been working in extreme heat now for a month. It's still hot, but you become more accustomed to it.
You just have to adapt your work schedule as much as you can. You started work earlier, took a break in the hottest part of the day then worked late into the evening. The whole "Only made dogs and Englishman go out in the noon day sun." You'd also drink a lot more water and sweat it off. A couple of gallons (roughly 8 liters for non Americans) a day might seem ridiculous but I've done that while in the military and I heard some aircraft carrier deck crews in the Persian Gulf can go through 3-4 gallons a day during the summer.
Thanks buddy, that was funny and loaded with common sense. The way we deal with extreme heat in the outdoors hasn't really changed much.I did alot of physical labor in it for well over thirty years and I'm still kickin. 😅
Here along the Mississippi River above N’Awlins (that’s how you properly say it 😉😂) anyway, in the 1840s to late 1850’s (pre-war) the Fabled Sugar Planter Francois “Valcour” Aime (surname pronounced as “M”) and he kept a Plantation Journal. Although Sugar was his focus, his plantation also grew vegetables, coffee, pineapple, and other exotic crops. He kept weather records using the French Reamur Scale (not Celsius or Fahrenheit) and in reading his journal I’ve converted those to Fahrenheit. The result is that before 1860 temperatures were significantly less warm than now. Climatologists speak of the US emerging from a mini-Ice Age before 1860. Valcour had constructed a fabulous “English Park” a garden on par with the magnificent European Gardens. His garden created a mini climate to cool his home by funneling and focusing the natural breezes coming off the River to cool his luxurious Estate. Of course Valcour’s Camelot came to an end after 1860. His Plantation Journal is a good read and he accurately documented the weather of his time in his region. Great Info Santee.
Santee, stay safe in the heat, you all are having out there. Great video, that really informed. We dress similar here in South Carolina. The heat here is so humid that often 92 degrees F feels like 102 to 107
At the Ft. Whoop-up museum in Lethbridge, AB Canada we used to have a "Wild West Weekend" in August. We had Mounties, Blackfoot, Metis and Military circa 1885. Daytime temps could be up in the Forties Celsius. That's HOT for Canadians. Dressed in our period uniforms and costumes we discovered the best relief was after each battle was to run into the only airconditioned building with large coolers of beer. The only relief ca. 1885 would be to jump in the river! It was somewhat disconcerting to peel off a Wool serge tunic and discover the navy blue silk shirt white from salt and sweat. Black powder revolvers do not like heat either.
Gary Busey in a prairie dress? 😂😂😂 I almost shot coffee out my nose!!! Keeping cool was no doubt a struggle. Southwest adobe architecture, those shaded porches, and keeping high noon activity a minimum were all things I thought of. Would a video on the rope wrapped and pottery vessels to keep liquids cool be a possibility?
Thanks Santee for another great video. I'm not one for heat don't like anything over 70, I don't know how they managed and the old west. Hope you all are staying nice and cool over there! 🤠🥵
I usually wear old west attire at the weekly farmer's market here in Mesquite, Texas. Because of the heat, I too plan to stop wearing a vest even though I will miss not having the pockets. A loose fitting linen shirt does help considerably.
Awesome video, Santee! Some men would lay in the horses trough in thier underwear, chores still had to be done, horses and cows needed water, milking needed to be down, most of which would cuddle before use, you only ate pre-morning and at night, but water was the important, so basically my ancestor slept when he can, what was the worse thing about the heat was the flies, the flies covered the inside of roof of the barn, and the noise was very loud. I really like these videos. Seeing the old west staying alive.
Yep, it's been a really hot & dry summer. Here in Missouri, we're suffering some drought conditions which normally don't occur. I haven't moved the yard in 3mths.😊
My ancestors wore long sleeved shirts, I believe cotton and same for britches. The hat was a wide brim straw with ventalation. On their adobe house they wet material or used wet burlap sacks in the windows which helped cool. Their mattresses were brought out on the porch and sheets were wet down in the rio Santa Cruz. Also, a mesquite fire outdoors would be where the cooking was done and tortillas made ect.
Great video Santee I started sweating just watching it you can keep the heat in Arizona I like the weather better up here in Wisconsin 👊🍺🍻🥃🤠 🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅
Growing up on the family beef farm My grandpa and all the old timers always wear bib overalls all summer long even when doing hay them old farmers were tough old guys.
I remember those triple digit temps growing up in Lancaster California. Forty three years here in Idaho and I can hardly stand a 90 degree day. Stay cool my friends. We will get to 91 today here in eastern Idaho.
We’ve been lucky up here on the northern Canadian 🇨🇦prairies It was really hot at the beginning of July but it’s been much cooler the last couple weeks!
I don't know how I survived when I was younger without AC. House, car, even work, didn't have AC. Now I'd be in rough shape without it. Stay safe out there, and take it easy man.
I would also recommend foregoing the boots in favor of brogans or some other kind of footwear that doesn't cover the calf, as tall boots tend to fill with sweat fairly quickly. Although in certain situations this isn't necessary such a good idea, as one has to factor in the likelihood of encountering snakes, cacti, and such. A potential solution would be half chaps or gaiters, which can be removed separately from the shoe itself.
Hey you make wonderful videos. I have a question if you have ever heard of the game Call of Juarez Gunslinger. A wonderful game about a bounty hunter who hunts down famous outlaws like Jesse James and the Sundance kid. It also gives wonderful insights into the west by giving information about the Wild West such as lawmen and particular outlaws. Anyway keep up the videos! Greetings from Holland
spring has sprung,fall has fell,summer's here and it's hotter than usual. pink hymalayan salt added to water will help alot. stay hydrated. yep,it's sure hot here in the Tucso,AZ sector. being a cool old dude,the heat don't bother me much.
I gotta take some inspiration I live in the Mojave Desert and today it was over 120 in some parts my house is normally 110 i still go on runs in this heat there is nothing else you can do but get real acquainted with the heat
As usual I rely on your video’s ruffian Santee. You once again edumacate us Arizona people. We at least have air, impressive how they dealt with A.T. Hot -Kid Yuma
Gotta aunt living in Tucson. She say A/C is mandatory during the summer. She gets cold when it gets under 70. That’s about right for me. I start looking for A/C at 80. Hottest I’ve been in was about 110. I was working as a field mechanic in an area that had a bunch oh sand hills. Had to carry a long pole to check for rattlers before crawling under a machine. One time I was hot and I didn’t look good. I rolled onto my back and got a prickly pear cactus between the shoulder blades. I can work in the sun but I sure ain’t gonna relax in it unless it’s winter and we’ve had a lot of below 0 weather. You guys can keep your heat.
@@ArizonaGhostriders we’ve had places in the state that have had a 100 degree temp change from early morning to late afternoon. Starts out below 0 and gets to 70 or so. From jackets or coats to shirt sleeves.
@@ArizonaGhostriders it’s diluted by the water so weak is fine as it’s the electrolytes that it brings that are what you’re after. there’s probably some homemade drink concoction like it that’s in a recipe book but probably under a different name
Good, Santee, but modern nutrition says the dehydrating qualities of alchol are more than offset in beverages which contain large quantities of water. So carry on with the beer (especially if weak - the beer that is), but lay back on the whisky!
When we were cowboy action shooting the other day a lot of us wore straw hats and no one was wearing vests or neckerchiefs it was pretty hot here in south west Colorado
I’ll trade you your dry heat for my high humidity and high heat of South Texas. Growing up, I used to look forward to our trips to see family in southern Arizona, especially Patagonia and Tombstone. If it weren’t for kids and grandkids here, we would have already moved to Arizona.
Hey was that a rim fire in the intro because it kinda had a crack ( I mean the noise type not the powdery substance that was discovered in the white house) but I digress it kinda had a crack sound that rim fires seem to have center fires are bangy rim fires are crackyyy ????
My chances of you seeing this in time or about slim to none but wanted to ask you because I'm getting conflicting reports here we go my niece is getting wed tomorrow and I picked out a purple shirt black leather vest and bolo the proper cowboy etiquette is to remove your hat inside correct ????? That's what I thought it was but someone told me no semi formal you keep them on inside
Hi Santee, My husband who loves to do Old West (well, we both do) wants to know, where to get the shirt and the pants you were referencing in your video? Can you help? Thanks
@@ged1798 When you find a subject you want to research start at the library of congress. If you don't have a lot of books or a close library, then search the internet for books on the subject. Many have been scanned and are searchable.
Mostly true about beer dehydrating us. However there was a notable exception (although not in the old west) As the first explorers and colonists were coming to America the common practice in Europe was to drink beer rather than water because most of the water was contaminated from human pollution. While they didn’t know why, the process of brewing killed the pathogens. However it most also be noted that for this purpose they deliberately brewed a very weak beer. When the settlers first arrived along the east coast they continued the practice for a generation or so before they realized the water here was still pure.
More like 100% true. Beer is a diuretic, which causes you to urinate more frequently, losing water. That dehydrates you quicker. Science is a cold-hearted lady! That's why people should drink water with their alcoholic beverages.
2 things: 1) We lived in Palm Springs for 4 years and I worked there for 6, always out of my car. The malevolent harpies of heat stroke wet their pants with laughter at the thought of auto air conditioning. 2) If I'm attempting to walk out of Death Valley and I'm a mile out from not dying of thirst and a beer somehow miraculously appears I'm drinking it. I know; the common wisdom is that it will dehydrate you but I'm thinking that in the short term, like in that final mile to the cantina, it might just have enough water to get you there. Anyway, I'm no research scientist but those studies are done under clinical conditions and they probably don't kill more than a few people in the process.
Yeah...heat ain't no joke. I had a stressful afternoon yesterday and on top of the heat in my car that I had to deal with while getting groceries even in the late afternoon...I got a touch of heatstroke. I've had it before so I know the signs...more thirsty than hungry being number one among them. And on my pizza day when I was able to get pizza from my favorite joint? Yeah the fact I wasn't all that hungry for it was a big clue...the nausea isn't any fun either. Gonna have me a ginger beer soda to help tamp it down...Goya brand Jamaican style Ginger Beer Soda uses actual ginger oil in their recipe so it's really good for nausea thanks to ginger's ability to help with that...plus it's liquid which right now my body is craving.
It's 108 degrees here in northern Nevada. I can't imagine not having air conditioning back in the day. No wonder everybody back then was skinny. They sweated the weight off.
having been an 18th century (F&I war) re-enactor in the past - you will be amazed how much cooling effect you can get from pouring a little water on that linen shirt
They may have had Small Beer. A lower alcohol, just barely brewed, that had been around in Europe since the middle ages, and which was sometimes safer to drink than the water.
Small or otherwise, beer is a diuretic, which causes you to urinate more frequently, speeding up dehydration. By the time of the Old West, people knew the deal with preparing questionable water for drinking. So, beer did not replace water.
I can’t tell you how much these make my morning
Thank You!
Raven, This is one of the few years that I've actually had to drop my 18th century waistcoat and just stick with my linen work shirt and I'll tell you that big old baggy linen work shirt is not too bad on a hot summer today.
I agree. A few years ago I obtained a couple Civil War repro shirts. They are super light and baggy in the arms. They work well.

Heat stroke and other heat related injuries were just as good then as now. Now at the time you dressed for battle, but farmers and woodsman got around the best they could.
Oh yeah! They made do!
Excellent video. I've always wondered how people dealt with the heat before electricity. It was probably a footnote in the list of suffering.
Yeah. After working in the excessive heat for a month I can tell you that you kinda get used to it.
Just realized where parasol comes from. In spanish an umbrella is called paraaqua, or literally for water. Parasol translates to for the sun. Educational as always. Thanks Santee!
And a car bumper is called a parachoques, from the Spanish verb chocar, to crash. Language is interesting.
Interesting!
It could also mean to stop the sun it to stop the water since para also means stop
Huh.
Cool!
Learn something new every day!

@@dennishein2812 Talk about layering!
Seems like a good time of year to visit Santa's Workshop.
Yes
any use of the vinegar water electrolyte drink that had been drunk for centuries back east?
Maybe, but vinegar is pretty weak for out here. Salt is more common.
@@ArizonaGhostriders it’s diluted by the water so weak is fine as it’s the electrolytes that it brings that are what you’re after. there’s probably some homemade drink concoction like it that’s in a recipe book but probably under a different name
So where are you getting those Cotton Shirts and the other clothes you wear to work now-a-days?
There are many retailers. River Junction Trade Co., Wild West Mercantile, Gentleman's Emportium, etc.
The shirt was made for me.
Good, Santee, but modern nutrition says the dehydrating qualities of alchol are more than offset in beverages which contain large quantities of water. So carry on with the beer (especially if weak - the beer that is), but lay back on the whisky!
Yeah, weak beer today as opposed to the beer of the 19th century may not be as bad.
When we were cowboy action shooting the other day a lot of us wore straw hats and no one was wearing vests or neckerchiefs it was pretty hot here in south west Colorado
No neckerchiefs? But those are useful. They also keep the sun off your neck.
@@ArizonaGhostriders we just thought it would make it cooler for me it didn’t help having canvas riding pants also
@@scottscheuerman8714 Oh yeah. pretty much whatever long pants you wear are going to be a tad warm.
I’ll trade you your dry heat for my high humidity and high heat of South Texas. Growing up, I used to look forward to our trips to see family in southern Arizona, especially Patagonia and Tombstone. If it weren’t for kids and grandkids here, we would have already moved to Arizona.
Yeah, it does help
Hey was that a rim fire in the intro because it kinda had a crack ( I mean the noise type not the powdery substance that was discovered in the white house) but I digress it kinda had a crack sound that rim fires seem to have center fires are bangy rim fires are crackyyy ????
Could be!
Love those rim fires !! 😁
My chances of you seeing this in time or about slim to none but wanted to ask you because I'm getting conflicting reports here we go my niece is getting wed tomorrow and I picked out a purple shirt black leather vest and bolo the proper cowboy etiquette is to remove your hat inside correct ????? That's what I thought it was but someone told me no semi formal you keep them on inside
@@double-eagle-dave It really depends on the situation. We normally take hats off indoors, but cowboy hats in western towns it's not expected.
Hi Santee, My husband who loves to do Old West (well, we both do) wants to know, where to get the shirt and the pants you were referencing in your video? Can you help? Thanks
The shirt was made for me, but the pants are Frontier Classics.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thank you
3:29 - Huh. It's one of them there ironclad stagecoaches. Wonder how many horses it took to pull that.
Probably 6 or 8
Would you and the crew ever do a in person meet and greet ? Also thanks as always the videos are always awesome
Possibly! Would depend on the time and place.
Hey there what sources do you use for your research??
I have a bunch of books as well as places like Library of Congress and other scanned books in PDF format.
Nice! I was asking because I’d like to start researching this myself 🤠 How should I start looking for them myself? Any keywords I can search ?
@@ged1798 When you find a subject you want to research start at the library of congress. If you don't have a lot of books or a close library, then search the internet for books on the subject. Many have been scanned and are searchable.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you mate 🙏 I’ll definitely search the Internet for some 🤠
lol 😂 I love the pew pew thanks.
You're welcome
Bill just saved your life!!! 👍🖖🙏🔫🔫🔫🔫 I’m not getting notifications from your channel so I missed a few... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Welcome back!
Guess what Santee, you had another Coffeyville reference in this video. 😉 Gary Busey went to our community college.
No way!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes way
@@charlesehmke8403 Cool!
Do you have a link or source for that linen-blend shirt? Looks like just the ticket for hot summer Cowboy Action shoots.
It was made for me, so I don't. Sorry.
@@ArizonaGhostriders My wife made a cowboy shirt for me once. She said "Hope you like it, 'cuz I ain't making any more!"
Santee, is your video next week going to be about the international day of the cowboy again?
I hope so
Perhaps.
Mostly true about beer dehydrating us. However there was a notable exception (although not in the old west) As the first explorers and colonists were coming to America the common practice in Europe was to drink beer rather than water because most of the water was contaminated from human pollution. While they didn’t know why, the process of brewing killed the pathogens. However it most also be noted that for this purpose they deliberately brewed a very weak beer. When the settlers first arrived along the east coast they continued the practice for a generation or so before they realized the water here was still pure.
More like 100% true. Beer is a diuretic, which causes you to urinate more frequently, losing water. That dehydrates you quicker. Science is a cold-hearted lady!
That's why people should drink water with their alcoholic beverages.
2 things:
1) We lived in Palm Springs for 4 years and I worked there for 6, always out of my car. The malevolent harpies of heat stroke wet their pants with laughter at the thought of auto air conditioning.
2) If I'm attempting to walk out of Death Valley and I'm a mile out from not dying of thirst and a beer somehow miraculously appears I'm drinking it. I know; the common wisdom is that it will dehydrate you but I'm thinking that in the short term, like in that final mile to the cantina, it might just have enough water to get you there. Anyway, I'm no research scientist but those studies are done under clinical conditions and they probably don't kill more than a few people in the process.
Now I want a beer.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll drink to that!
Did Tuco shoot the canteen 🤠🤠
Bill did. Tuco gave him the idea.
@@ArizonaGhostriders ah hahaha I love that film
Shoot, who would think of this unless its Santee. HAHAHA. When I saw this series, I am like.....Wow, never thought about that. HAHAHA. 👍👍👍
Thanks, man. Hope you are doing good!
Yeah...heat ain't no joke. I had a stressful afternoon yesterday and on top of the heat in my car that I had to deal with while getting groceries even in the late afternoon...I got a touch of heatstroke. I've had it before so I know the signs...more thirsty than hungry being number one among them. And on my pizza day when I was able to get pizza from my favorite joint? Yeah the fact I wasn't all that hungry for it was a big clue...the nausea isn't any fun either. Gonna have me a ginger beer soda to help tamp it down...Goya brand Jamaican style Ginger Beer Soda uses actual ginger oil in their recipe so it's really good for nausea thanks to ginger's ability to help with that...plus it's liquid which right now my body is craving.
Thank You!
It's 108 degrees here in northern Nevada. I can't imagine not having air conditioning back in the day. No wonder everybody back then was skinny. They sweated the weight off.
LOL!!

Yep!
having been an 18th century (F&I war) re-enactor in the past - you will be amazed how much cooling effect you can get from pouring a little water on that linen shirt
Nice, eh?
It’s 105-109 here today, you just made it feel hotter darn it! 😂
Ha! I have NO sympathy for you. 😂😂
They may have had Small Beer. A lower alcohol, just barely brewed, that had been around in Europe since the middle ages, and which was sometimes safer to drink than the water.
Small or otherwise, beer is a diuretic, which causes you to urinate more frequently, speeding up dehydration.
By the time of the Old West, people knew the deal with preparing questionable water for drinking. So, beer did not replace water.

So, just what Yankee east coast city does Santee hail from?
Cocoa Beach, Florida...and New York, NY
😳
@@ArizonaGhostriders it's OK. All roads lead back to Tucson.
Moving from California heat, to Humid heat. Ugh, it's hodt outside.
Yup
As someone who sometime goes outside to mow the lawn, I *definitely* need that sunblock, cuz I’ll burn easily 😅
I get it
Bud Light tank top ????? ha ha ha ha .... now I have a stitch in my side 🙂
LOL!
I would love some sun shine it’s always raining in Ireland 😊
Come here!
Here in the east with the humidity, it doesn’t matter how many clothes you remove. You’re still going to sweat out your body weight.
Yeah
Two shirts identical in every way except that one is cotton and the other linen, the linen shirt will keep your skin five degrees cooler.
So I hear.
