Greetings, I am just catching up on my TH-cam channels after a long needed vacation. However, during vacation one day I did get to see a documentary on the Buffalo which was so fascinating. I enjoyed these pictures and the music had me patting my feet. I believe it would have been great being part of a wagon train and stage coach rider being lead by six horses, WOW! Much appreciated, thanks!
@@legacyofthewest it was wonderful. I went home to Cleveland, OH to celebrate one of my dearest friend’s 70th birthday, to see her family and other friends I have not seen since moving to Los Angeles in 2012 was truly a joy. However, I do plan to either move back home or nearby in 2026.
Wagon trains and stagecoach rides were long, arduous, hot, stuffy, the flies were awful, it was bumpy, slow, had to hope no animal broke down with injury or illness, very limited food and fresh water Could prove tricky, robbers, highway men and general miscreants were concerning, everyone began to smell real bad about the 3 rd day, very cramped quarters...now for the winter, you can figure it out now that you understand it wasn't "fun" good times and all that Hollywood bullshit, Many trips, routes just weren't even undertaken in the winter, the blowing and drifting snows were too severe, deep, the animals couldn't get through, times were very, very different and times were hard
I wanted to rob that Shasta mining co.but Butch said not just yet,so we rode all the way to Castle Dale Utah and waited the next day and rode off with at least $15,000 dollars south towards green river Utah.they call me money Mike
Groovy photographs with beautiful memories of the old West.
Here I am, grooving to the tunes and photos, wishing I was there.
I would love to have walked through any of those old towns and talked to the people
Me three! I was born in the wrong time period 🥺
Thank you for sharing these great moments of American History with us! Looking forward to more! They are greatly appreciated!
Glad you liked it!

I love it ! Can you do a video on nothing but early photos of the west ? Maybe 1850s to 1890s ?
That's a good idea-there aren't as many photos in the 1850s but I'll have to go look, have you seen my California Gold Rush video?
@@legacyofthewest yes I did. Loved it too !
Thanks again for a great video of the Old West. Mike, currently in Oregon.
Hope you get to see some history up in Oregon!
Will be hitting the road soon. Full time RV van life. Lots to see. @@legacyofthewest
@@Go4Corvette Sounds like fun!
😂 takes me an hour to see this. With all the pausing and zooming... Just thanks. Alot.
If you are on FB you might check out our page, I upload photos there as well

Lol
The train in photo 93 is not approaching a mining tunnel . That's a regular railroad tunnel.

You need to cut back on the tryptophan. Lol.

And you would?
No they couldn't. Why would they want to? Come on. 😂
And neither could you. Stop thinking you could. 😂
