Samuel Gates closest I’ve been to living the frontier days was getting robbed in a small village in Mexico while on horseback. Luckily it was the one day i left my phone charging back home, and the deadbeat didn’t know how to ride a horse lol ahhhhhh I wish I would have taken my grandparents peacemaker but it wouldn’t be worth it if the twat was in a gang. rip my 39 pesos and Nike wallet 😂
Lived in a log cabin that was constructed in the latter half of the 19th century. It had no straight lines, and had been the scene of at least one violent death, a feller named Clive Runyan. Unfortunately I'll never know if the place had a ghost, since the critters scurrying around the cabin in the night made too much racket to hear anything else.
Well it's 2022 and I love watching your videos. There very helpful in learning about how people lived back in the west my favorite time. But wouldn't have wanted to live back in that day I just like watching about it. But thank you so much. ☺️
Great video Santee always leaning something new from you 👍😎🤠 My Grandfather was born in 1916 and lived to be 100 years old he told stories about growing up & stories his Dad told how they moved part of a house a 1/2 mile away to their house by rolling it on logs and horses pulling it 🐎 🏚👍 It's still standing today & so is the barn my Great Great grandfather built in 1890 👍😎🤠 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
One thing I've seen in my research on the Australian/West Australian frontier is a myth of "defensive architecture", which as far as I can tell is just later generations misunderstanding the ventilation slits in stables and such. Very insightful to get an idea of some American frontier home designs.
The "defensive slits" aka "gun ports" was a carryover from the European Castles/Forts. It's primary purpose was ventilation but served as shooting ports when needed.
Thanks for sharing another great video about the Wild West Santee. Early Americana (1820-1910) and WW2 are my favorite subjects. You've shown so much History on your channel, that this is one of my all time favorites. When we go back to Arizona to visit family, I'd love to take a tour and visit those old homes, where and when do these tours take place? Thanks again for sharing. Stan
Another interesting video. As owners of an historic house here in Michigan, historic homes are one of my favorite things to visit and study. It’s where you see how the everyday person lived. Thanks.
@@k.j.lindsey3048 The hardscrabble pioneer homes are all well and good, but the fancy Victorian homes in the Midwest to the East are absolutely breathtaking.
The tv serie little house on the prairie comes in to my mind....I'm always learning something new with you guys,thumbs up for another great vid.thanks.
Kind of ironic that this was this week's episode because I was watching an episode of Ghost Town Gold and these two guys were searching through old homesteads in Montana looking for relics of the Old West. Great episode, Santee!
Dear Santee-- I only discovered your channel a month or so ago ago. I am writing a fictional supernatural mystery novel, half of which happens in the Old West and I have used your history lessons for help in understanding life a 140 years ago. I especially liked your episodes on stagecoaches, beer, houses, and the various ways people dressed in or about the time frame of the late 1870s, which is when I have set my novel. Thank you! Your information has been invaluable! If I can sell it, It hope to buy you a whiskey in Tombstone in the future! Thanks again!
Mr. Santee, you never cease to amaze me. You make every video so interesting, informative, and just plain fun to watch. Excellent job pard. Kid Tumbleweed
You could also order a home. A steamboat that sank in 1855 had 2 of them in the inventory. Currently all artifacts be are on display in Kansas City. A whole towns supplies was on it and when it sank the town literally folded up and was a ghost town over night.
Oh my goodness! Building houses without permits, licensed contractors, zoning, and other government interference. How did they ever manage?? ;) Another great video. In the hot climates, I wish our culture would have stuck with adobe.
Wow! Your video is incredible, mot only educational but the way you have edited it and added effects amazes me. You have a new sub, I am going to enjoy following along on your content
Adobe brick houses are still pretty common here in north Mexico, mostly because of the Desert and it's harsh environment; the material keeps a stable temperature inside of the house
I wish I had found this Channel sooner. I grew in East TX and there is pioneer cemetery with a large slab layed flat and plague that reads “Unknown family found massacred by indians” We thought it was neat to see as a kid. My grandmother’s house in West TX was used as a look out fort by the Texas Rangers during Commanchr raids and she has tons of artifacts left through the family over the years. We always heard all the stories growing up aboit distant relatives fighting the commanche, and didn’t really believe it until we found our family members in the Texas Ranger hall of fame. Awesome video
My grandfather lived in a sod house in Nebraska sandhills when he was a small boy. I've seen a picture of that house, it's almost unbelievable that someone in the early 20th century would have lived in one. I grew up in a log cabin in northern Idaho (because my dad is an old west nut) I lived in that same log cabin for almost ten years as an adult because the rent was cheaper than anyplace else.
@@ArizonaGhostriders not recommend! Cold and drafty in the winter, hot in the summer. But I can say I did it. Thanks for the great videos you folks do!
Hey santee, mabye one on western munitions? - josey wales I know you've done a little bit on your hunting episode, but a dedicated one might bring more info.
So that’s how they were built! I did wonder... Well done 👍 again Santee and team Makes me want to have been in Walnut Grove watching Little joe ..sorry Charles Ingalls building his two story house and barn!.....😂
Hey Santee I have photos of the adobe homes made just like the old west but in Mexico I don't mind sending them to you and my wife's family still live in them almost 100 year's later
COOLMCDEN 2109 the game takes place in the late 1800s(the 1890s) and the early 1900s. Kit houses were produced between 1908 and the 1940s/50s. In the first game it’s 1911, a couple years before WW1. And the second game takes place during 1899. So it’s more than likely that John did indeed buy a kit house :D
@@COOLMCDEN it makes sense. If you're the owner of a lumber mill, that's the easiest way to sell. You'd know approximately just how much lumber and materials to send and if they need more, they'd have to buy it. Shipping the wood to you, I'm not entirely sure about. That would be a big risk if the trailer or coach with your materials were burglarized or laid to waste.
In Murdo SD there is a Museum that has a pre-built home you could buy and they would bring it to your farm. Pretty neat place to go have all kinds of stuff. Tom Nix car General Lee, many other cars and they have buildings set up to see how the old bank looked and stuff worth the drive.
Great stuff Santee! That sod house is insane but makes sense. Locally we have a lot of German settlers and actually really close to the sandstone capital of the world so that's a lot of the building materials on the older homes.
My Grandma who died at 94 remembered riding in a Conestoga wagon and going to the nearby Fort (South Dakota I think) to be safe from Indian attack. She also lived in a sod house and had her own dark room to develop black and white photos. I have pictures of her on her painted pony on the Dakota parrie. She was on her way back to Hawaii (via 747) just before she passed. She used to talk about how amazing it was to have lived in the old west and live to see men walk on the moon.
Thanks Santee . I have a Case Sodbuster pocket knife that I inherited from my uncle . There's a plow etched on the blade and it was made in the USA of stainless steel with black handle scales . It's a simple rugged knife and hard to beat .
One of the BEST in a while (all good). Yes I've been watching. What's with the new way to make a comment? It takes about 3 steps + waiting time for other pages to open. If I don't write it doesn't mean I'm not watching. I could have watched 3 videos or more in the time this took to write this, give TU and get to this pg.
We have an old cabin, one room school house, blacksmith shop, and a few barns with old equipment in them that has been moved into town from the 1800's the blacksmith shop is opened up to do demonstrations and sell crafts they make most weeks weather permits the rest of the sight is opened during our heritage days.
Hey Santee, I just finished Air Force Basic Training so I’m working on catching up with your videos and I was wondering if you’ve ever been to the Buckhorn Saloon here in San Antonio (oldest saloon in Texas). I just visited it today on town pass and walked through the museum. It was pretty neat
By the way, I just discovered your channel a few days ago. Stumbled upon it, and am so glad l did. Your approach is light-hearted and breezy, yet historically accurate. And it's clear that you really do love the old west. And tyrannosaurs. ;) The only frustrating thing is that your videos tend to be shorter than most on here. I just get warmed up to one and it's finished! Please consider going in depth on a subject sometime, if you can. Religion in the old west, perhaps, or pets on the frontier, or the Pony Express. Or trains. Or nutrition. Or music. I'm not picky, just hungry to know more. Thanks. ;)
Thank you, Mason. With a full time job it's hard to manage putting more time into videos. With research, filming, and editing it's probably another 15+ hours a week. Ironically, when I see my analytics, people leave after 3.5 minutes during longer videos!
I read somewhere that a log cabin could be built in a matter of weeks if you had a good spot to build and a lot of wood nearby. How long would a Victorian home take? I'm sure that depends on how fancy we want it, so let's make it simple and say this is a one-story house. (I know of a mansion that took 6 years to build, but I'm thinking just a nice home for one person or a small family.)
Depends on so much. First, gotta have a lot of lumber and a crew to make it. Maybe 2-3 months? Some homes were available through catalogs and were easier to 'assemble." Sod or adobe houses could go up pretty quick providing you have the materials.
@@ArizonaGhostriders That'll work. "A house built in an unspecified period of time, but maybe around a few months?" can work for fiction, and in real life, people can look up "How long did it take to build this specific house?" These videos are great. I'm ironing out some issues in my book and learning a lot more on the side, and the humor is great.
Awesome explanation! I talked to a few people in tombstone and they talked about that! It was great going there! Another awesome video my friend! Keep up the good work!
The Sod Museum in Oklahoma is a good source. If I remember correctly there are first hand accounts from the folks that lived there. The log house design is from when the country of Sweden had a colony in the US. New Sweden was along the lower reaches of the Delaware River.
Im so glad this channel exists
We are living in the frontier days of the internet

I think we closer to 1890 then 1870 in terms of wildness, things starting to settle a little.
Lived in a log cabin that was constructed in the latter half of the 19th century. It had no straight lines, and had been the scene of at least one violent death, a feller named Clive Runyan.

Have you thought about doing a live Q&A with the guys?
I have. Wanna do a sit down episode. Hopefully in the summer.

The Sod Museum in Oklahoma is a good source. If I remember correctly there are first hand accounts from the folks that lived there. The log house design is from when the country of Sweden had a colony in the US. New Sweden was along the lower reaches of the Delaware River.
Wouldn't doubt it.

No problem!
Also in Arizona, since water is scarce, people built their homestead near a spring or river so many used river rock to build their homes.
Yes. If it was available. Many of the rocks in S. Arizona are a wee bit small for building.
