We're humming along, folks! 21k subs! Thank you all for the continued support. When we hit 25k we're doing something special... Perhaps the first ever Mountain Man Rendezvous on RDO? Maybe another cattle drive? Let me know what ideas you have!
No surprise. Usually cool history teachers impact cool students. There's a kinship of coolness at work there, and the cycle continues. Eat your heart out English majors...
My history teacher was a DEA Agent, Navy Submariner, Federal Prison Guard, Private Military contractor, and showed us pictures from the Bahamas and the arctic when he was on a submarine, but this guy is still really cool.
One of my great uncles was a moderately famous lawman/gunslinger and he's the model for my RDO character currently. His name was Ben Thompson if anyone is curious and wants to look him up.
Very cool! I certainly think of Ben Thompson as famous! I even made a video about the Bull's Head Saloon, which he owned with Phil Coe (TotW: Hickok vs. Coe).
Hear ye! Hear ye! The Raccoon Hatted Smart Historian Man has come back to us to grace us with another wonderful video! Quickly! Ring the Church bells! Let us all congregate at the town square to enjoy this wonderful combination of history, entertainment, and video games!
@@ManvsHistory I mean, my character wears a Leather Trenchcoat and a 10 Gallon Hat, but that's it. I wouldn't ever put him into these overly complex and Heavy outfits that I see in the catalogue for "Bounty Hunters". The newest outfit literally looks like something a Templar would wear.
@@Warm_and_loveable hell man, some of this shit is WAY too heavy. I’ll just stick with a Leather Trenchcoat and a 10 Gallon Hat. I don’t need to go all out Templar to hunt down Wanted Fugitives.
I don’t play RDO often, I’m just a fan of the history of the Wild West. It’s insane how much research you put into these videos. This channel is underrated, hope you keep growing!
How about a historically accurate soldier/cavalryman during Custers Last Stand to the 1890s? Because finding good info on what soldiers wore is quite difficult to find.
There was a huge amount of change in the US Army uniform between the close of the indian wars and going into the "modern age" Spanish America War (toward the 1890's).
almost. in the period "big iron" most commonly referred to the walker, or dragoon revolvers, as they were so big and heavy that they typically were meant to be holstered on a horse and not on a belt.
Being a lawman myself, I must say I really appreciate you included Bass Reeves in this. Reading his story and his lifestyle really brings to fruition how one man can really have such a set of bells and NOT alert every fugitive within 100 miles...
Ha! Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with how studying the past effects your perspective. You witness both the epic glories and miserable failures of human history, which helps you learn to just take life in stride. I'm 39 and I feel like I've been alive for a thousand years, and seen it all. Not joking btw. Now everything seems like small stuff. The news will mention something about a riot or protest somewhere and without thinking I find myself commenting to my wife something along the lines of 'That's nothing, you should have seen it in Paris in 1789. Now THAT was a riot!' as if I was there. Funny... it feels so much like a memory of mine that I could swear I was there. I suppose it's our collective memory after all... History is a funny thing when you dedicated your life to it.
@@ManvsHistory I think I tend to like history because it connects with psychology. I suppose knowing why historical events happened help you understand human nature. I guess you could say I just like answers it brings me contentment.
Discovered this channel recently. It's an absolute delight to see content made with such passion for the game and the historical setting done with this level of polish and detail.
I did this just two days ago. I looked up a bunch of images of lawmen from that era, (and I made a historical 1898 mailman for those pesky deliveries) and images of RDR to lawmen. And made my own deputy Marshal, serving in Lemoyne. Great video!
Wow, this is very cool stuff! A lot of my coursework in high school & university centered around the criminal justice system and its history and researching its intricacies is one of my hobbies. This has managed to become one of my favorite channels overnight. Just the amount of in-depth information that you manage to keep easy-to-digest rather than "dense" is crazy.
Awesome, Safton, thank you for that, partner. I'm currently wrapping up editing on a new video as well. Stay tuned. Should be released on Monday (fingers-crossed).
Oh I needed this. Indeed I really needed your channel in my life. Not until I knew that would bill was an “ancestor” of mine, but now that I know that, I’m so unbelievably happy I found this. And not to say I wouldn’t have loved this channel before that, but now I have direction. Dude thanks for making these videos, absolutely incredible and they bring so much fun. Absolute blast watching the videos and learning, makes playing red dead more enjoyable when I know this stuff, and definitely is cool to learn what my ancestors had to put up with haha. Can’t say thank you enough for taking your time to make this channel.
It's pretty often in video games, especially in Red Dead, that we see lawmen as the bad guys and outlaws as the good guys. I like the beginning of this video the most just because I feel like sometimes it's good to remind ourselves that lawmen, despite how pesky they are in the game and how corrupt they can be in real life, overall they're a force for good. Don't rob trains, kids. Unless you maybe really need muneh that bad.
Would've been better if rockstar added clothing accessories (including adding badges), open - close vests options, open close coats options, pocket watches visible on vests, satchel visibility, new hairstyles, facial hairs, and including some new hats and clothes, especially the different ways in having our gunbelts such as double holsters in the way like Dutch and Hosea has especially left handed holsters
I just wanted to say that the thing I like most about your highly informative videos is the way you show off your research and sources while keeping that bit entertaining. Being able to research something is an incredibly important skill, especially in these times, so it's great to see content creators who put so much into their research AND pass that skill on through their content!
These videos are absolutely amazing. You put so much effort into the research not just to enhance your and our experience in a video game, but because you have a passion for it and generally have more brain cells than all of rockstar put together
Love your channel! Big hello from Missouri! The heartlands born and raised. Some day you should make a video about historical accuracy of our campsites mainly the different styles of tents and the different breeds of dogs. I would watch that too🤠
Great as always. My great grand father served as town marshal for Rio Hondo 1880's through 1900. I followed up as a Texas Deputy a hundred years later. Just wish Rockstar would give up badges. The assits are already in the game.
Very cool, Doc! I'm sure both you and your great grandfather have some good stories. My great grandfather was the chief of police in Albia, Iowa. Likely not nearly as exciting as Rio Hondo, but I've heard some cool tales about him nonetheless. As always, thanks for watching and stopping in!
You remind me of a younger version of my 8th grade American History teacher. He is the greatest man I know, he is smart and he is funny and relatable to 8th graders. I wish I was more like you two.
@@ManvsHistory It wouldn't be fair to outlaws to have a lawman video and not an outlaw one. Lots of good ones, Black Bart especially being a stagecoach robber and James gang on train robberies. Mr. William Bonney's outlaw status is being reexamined these days.. All I can find is the occasional stolen horse. His being an outlaw was political as he just so happened to be a part the opposition party to corrupt lawmen.
It should be noted, these videos are also excellent for creating outfits in the real world for cowboy action shooting, costuming, or other such activities
Just wanted to say it'd be cool to see historical accuracy of locations. Obviously they're not real locations but what they're based off of and the atmosphere.
lol, that's EXACTLY my set of clothes I used before in the campaign and now in RDO. never thought about origins, just liked the black'n'white kind of official look.
Absolutely love what youre doing here! If you are ever in need of more ideas for videos, maybe you can do how to portray a railroad engineer? Or some other industrial worker. Great work!!
Keep up the good work I have always been a history buff but I was never really interested in the Wild West until I played rdr2 and found your Channel👍🏻
Love your channel, sir! Even though this game was all but abandoned, I still love running bounties! Thank you for all of this wonderful history, intertwined with this awesome game!
i would love to see more of these how to create episodes, and more episodes of you trying old west cooking techniques, really interesting stuff mate, much love from a cowboy fan in the UK
I’m a history nerd and college grad and enjoy RDR2 a lot. I appreciate your academic approach to these videos. Keep them coming they’re all very interesting.
I was best friends with my history teacher i love history and he did too we always use to like watching deadliest warrior when it came on spike tv, and we had a love for westerns. No matter what anyone says I still enjoy red dead online even though rockstar forgot about us i still try and make the best outta it i just enjoy being a realist and role playing it.
Nice, man! Your history teacher sounds like a good dude. RD is a beautiful game- still can’t believe they let it gather dust while there was still so much meat on the bone. Love your handle, btw! Not enough bow hunters in this world! I recently finished Endure by Cam Hanes about his bow hunting adventures.
It's true. That guy could do whatever he wanted. And he did. It's like 1980s Mike Tyson wearing whitey-tighties and holding two Bengal tigers on chains (if you haven't seen the pic just google it. Hilarious). When you reach that level of badassery, you simply make your own rules.
You should do U.S. Army 1898 uniforms. With no like limited time clothing or outlaw pass exclusive, or you could do like 2 versions where one is with limited time clothing but the other one is just regular. Great video 👍
I'm assuming at this point the people who dislike these wonderful videos just don't like to be corrected. Catch me take my time in watching everything and looking forward to every new video!
Are there any books you would recommend to read about the old west, but not about anything in particular just one that touches on lots of topics e.g. outlaws, ranching, horses, natives etc. Great videos though mate keep up the good work!
My bounty hunting attire in-game is the same as my usual western attire, faded blue or black denim pants, scuffed black or brown boots, not tucked. Faded red plaid work shirt, although for the occasions when i am tracking a bounty down, i will usually throw on a lighter brown/cream colored cowboy hat, and a brown or black jacket with some kind of fur around the collar. Edit: Hair is usually worn in a medium-long fashion, slightly messy, with a muttonstache or trimmed beard, very much a woodsman vibe.
Guess I'm accurate regardless due to me wearing suits for my guy. Oddly I cannot leave my duster/Marshall coat. I want a damn Badge though. Not the "one" we got on the menu for the role.
I've been around since the fishing video and I just have to say that I love what you're doing here. It's my favorite channel on youtube at the moment and the sheer quality of your videos is incredible. You've made history fun and interesting to me and I look forward to what 2021 has in store for your channel. Also, I'm loving the raccoon hats, I thought I was the only one who wears animals on my head in this game!
I love this video. Especially the introduction. It completely decimates the view we've been spoon fed over these last 30-40 years about gun violence in the modern age. I love your content! Keep it coming!
While watching this. Once again I marvel at the amount of time and research you put in, to making the best informative, entertaining videos on the Old West and its comparison, not only to current times but also, the RDR2 frontier that brings us all together. "Well Done'', once again.👍 I always thought Tom Horn got shafted, by the very people who needed him the most. When they needed him. Until, they didn't need him anymore. But, evidently he did confess to an undercover, in a Bar, up in your neck of the woods, about things he had done including shooting the kid. Cant tell you how much we enjoy your work Professor. Thanks🐎👍
Thanks, Swindell! Yeah, I heard that about Horn as well. Later he retracted it, and continued to do so through the end. Makes you wonder if he was spinning tall tales for the amusement of his listener? I'm sure the alcohol didn't help. Hard to say. He was no doubt a killer of men, but whether he killed the boy.... hard to say.
Thank you for another GREAT, and informative video. I really appreciate that you "show your work", as they say. The archival photos, and actual newspaper articles and advertisements, (not to mention other Historical documents like Dawes Roll, etc.) is so compelling and engaging. I know it must be a tremendous amount of work to put all these together, but I think I speak for most here-we REALLY appreciate it! Keep up the amazing work-you keep History 'alive'!
A very good and educational video. Always enjoyed your videos and all the good information. I mostly enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode and these videos allow me to try to dress Arthur accurately. Keep up the great work.
I figuard it out, how Rockstar can integrate the law man/bandit role. 75 Gold Bars to get the role. Bandit: low honor, get`s the mission to kill that (deputy)marshal from the story. (law man): high honer, you get deputiesed by the state marshal to revenge the story marshal. As a bandit you can rob trains, banks, coaches,npcs. For the first you get a decent amount of money (20-500 $) and GOLD (3-5 Bars). But for doing them you get high bountys (up to 1000 Dollars) and the deputy marshals (other Palyers) can hunt you down. Also they can interfear the robberies. As deputy marshal you can do the former mentioned tasks (simular to player bountys now) and you have a permanet income (100 Dollar and 0,5 Gold) per hour (real live). Also random encounters( sheriff ask you to help...) in the citys that can depanding on the encounter pays (5.0-45 $)
Hey MvH i’m really liking the new content (cool knife btw). And I am exited for your buffalo hunt as well! I got one question. Would it be historically accurate to wear the traditional lawman outfit with the black cayuga hat instead of the black stalker hat? Thanks and keep up the great work
Ironically I opted for the everyday shirt (or whichever has that collar), a brown vest, suit pants, and tie, and the tuxedo shoes. I joked with my friends that I looked like a bootleg lawman/lawyer, but I’m pleased to hear my choice in attire, aside from color seems to have been at least somewhat accurate.
We're humming along, folks! 21k subs! Thank you all for the continued support. When we hit 25k we're doing something special... Perhaps the first ever Mountain Man Rendezvous on RDO? Maybe another cattle drive? Let me know what ideas you have!
The cattle drive was great :)
@@BeeCurious007 I bet it was I was waiting for 2 hours I I wasn't even picked
@@coleforbes6268 Yeah I hear you I only got in about the last hour
We should definitely do another cattle drive, but make getting in easier somehow
@@lukefraas2948 I agree. I'm going to brainstorm how to best accomplish that.

@eddyrod you might like a game called hunt showdown not exactly a historically accurate game but a fun one
How about a historically accurate soldier/cavalryman during Custers Last Stand to the 1890s? Because finding good info on what soldiers wore is quite difficult to find.
I know they never wore the yellow sashes, neckerchiefs, or hat bands like they are usually seen with. That was created by Hollywood.
@@jamessaibot5681 that's not fully inaccurate however that was purely ceremonial
The soldiers you see in rdr2 are pretty accurate at that time period.
There was a huge amount of change in the US Army uniform between the close of the indian wars and going into the "modern age" Spanish America War (toward the 1890's).
I'd like to see this too
This guy is why I have such interest in history. He's so enthusiastic about it too
I can finally make my Arizona ranger with the big iron on his hip
almost. in the period "big iron" most commonly referred to the walker, or dragoon revolvers, as they were so big and heavy that they typically were meant to be holstered on a horse and not on a belt.
Big iron on his hiiiiiiippppp
You can finally catch that outlaw by the name of Texas Red.
Name of Texas ReeeEeeeeDddd
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red.
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
Being a lawman myself, I must say I really appreciate you included Bass Reeves in this. Reading his story and his lifestyle really brings to fruition how one man can really have such a set of bells and NOT alert every fugitive within 100 miles...
You bet, man. He was the real deal.
Imagine this guy working at rockstar, all the good clothes we would get
Yeah that would be cool
I will never get tired of seeing someone rock the most stylish hat in the game.
And what hat is that?

You should do U.S. Army 1898 uniforms. With no like limited time clothing or outlaw pass exclusive, or you could do like 2 versions where one is with limited time clothing but the other one is just regular. Great video 👍
“All the gear, for the modern frontier!” Love it 👍🏼. Definitely going to pick up a shirt.
Thanks, Eddie!
not only do you teach us how to pull up with drip, but you also give us a history lesson
I'm assuming at this point the people who dislike these wonderful videos just don't like to be corrected. Catch me take my time in watching everything and looking forward to every new video!
Thank you, Melody!
Yes I've been wanting this I'm excited to watch this
Excellent research, editing and original content as always!
Are there any books you would recommend to read about the old west, but not about anything in particular just one that touches on lots of topics e.g. outlaws, ranching, horses, natives etc. Great videos though mate keep up the good work!
I've gotten this a lot. I'm going to be making a video with my book recommendations soon.
I had thought about going for a Rooster Cogburn roleplay style a couple times. Still one of my favorite fictional lawmen to this day.
I tried to make a historically accurate Lawman outfit a while ago and it looks almost identical to yours. FeelsGoodMan.
My bounty hunting attire in-game is the same as my usual western attire, faded blue or black denim pants, scuffed black or brown boots, not tucked. Faded red plaid work shirt, although for the occasions when i am tracking a bounty down, i will usually throw on a lighter brown/cream colored cowboy hat, and a brown or black jacket with some kind of fur around the collar.
Edit: Hair is usually worn in a medium-long fashion, slightly messy, with a muttonstache or trimmed beard, very much a woodsman vibe.
Guess I'm accurate regardless due to me wearing suits for my guy. Oddly I cannot leave my duster/Marshall coat. I want a damn Badge though. Not the "one" we got on the menu for the role.
I've been around since the fishing video and I just have to say that I love what you're doing here. It's my favorite channel on youtube at the moment and the sheer quality of your videos is incredible. You've made history fun and interesting to me and I look forward to what 2021 has in store for your channel. Also, I'm loving the raccoon hats, I thought I was the only one who wears animals on my head in this game!
Thanks, Droppy! I appreciate that, my friend! Yeah, I love the fur hats. It's a staple for me in the game (when not making character vids).
I love this video. Especially the introduction. It completely decimates the view we've been spoon fed over these last 30-40 years about gun violence in the modern age. I love your content! Keep it coming!
I appreciate that. Thanks, Nick!
been wanting one of these for a while, it’s a shame that i spent most of my money on a realistic cowboy :(
Such an interesting/cool video to watch, always great content man, thank you!! Definetely gonna try that 12:28 outfit!
While watching this. Once again I marvel at the amount of time and research you put in, to making the best informative, entertaining videos on the Old West and its comparison, not only to current times but also, the RDR2 frontier that brings us all together. "Well Done'', once again.👍
I always thought Tom Horn got shafted, by the very people who needed him the most. When they needed him.
Until, they didn't need him anymore. But, evidently he did confess to an undercover, in a Bar, up in your neck of the woods, about things he had done including shooting the kid. Cant tell you how much we enjoy your work Professor. Thanks🐎👍
Thanks, Swindell! Yeah, I heard that about Horn as well. Later he retracted it, and continued to do so through the end. Makes you wonder if he was spinning tall tales for the amusement of his listener? I'm sure the alcohol didn't help. Hard to say. He was no doubt a killer of men, but whether he killed the boy.... hard to say.
Man! Talk about a tale that bites you.
I do disagree with you on one point.
Alcohol does help...on occasion.😂👍
@@LowCountryMack Touche!
i spend a bloody fortune everytime i watch one of your videos, dam keep it up!
Ha! I apologize, Andy!
wow glad i found this channel time to fill up those empty outfits lists in wardrobe. Been empty a looong time since im not good with fashion.
Great vid, highly enjoyable and informative.
Nice one dude 🤠👍👍
I appreciate that, Toastrack!
Thank you for another GREAT, and informative video. I really appreciate that you "show your work", as they say. The archival photos, and actual newspaper articles and advertisements, (not to mention other Historical documents like Dawes Roll, etc.) is so compelling and engaging.
I know it must be a tremendous amount of work to put all these together, but I think I speak for most here-we REALLY appreciate it! Keep up the amazing work-you keep History 'alive'!
You're too kind, my friend! Thank you for recognizing the effort. I do appreciate it.
I've stopped playing red dead online but I still love your videos because my favorite part of history is the wild west
You need to make a reading list for those who may be interested in learning more about the old west.
This is a superb recommendation. Perhaps I should make a quick video on my favorite resources? You guys be interested in that?
@@ManvsHistory Do it!
I also agree to this!
A very good and educational video. Always enjoyed your videos and all the good information. I mostly enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode and these videos allow me to try to dress Arthur accurately.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Yamato! I appreciate that!
been waiting for this, maybe could you do a hunting one? like what hunters used to wear. love the red dead series!
He already has native and mountain man
@@DC-fy7hy i know but thas not quite what i mean
i’m late but if your looking for a big game hunter I would take inspiration from Theodore Roosevelt and other big game hunters
@@Deafmonkey999 3 months ago, wow i’ve certainly not played rdr2 in a while but thanks so much for the suggestionn
@@kjd888 no problem happy hunting
Wooooo! The day has come!!
I figuard it out, how Rockstar can integrate the law man/bandit role.
75 Gold Bars to get the role.
Bandit: low honor, get`s the mission to kill that (deputy)marshal from the story.
(law man): high honer, you get deputiesed by the state marshal to revenge the story marshal.
As a bandit you can rob trains, banks, coaches,npcs. For the first you get a decent amount of money (20-500 $) and GOLD (3-5 Bars). But for doing them you get high bountys (up to 1000 Dollars) and the deputy marshals (other Palyers) can hunt you down. Also they can interfear the robberies.
As deputy marshal you can do the former mentioned tasks (simular to player bountys now) and you have a permanet income (100 Dollar and 0,5 Gold) per hour (real live). Also random encounters( sheriff ask you to help...) in the citys that can depanding on the encounter pays (5.0-45 $)
I don’t know how you did it but you made me want to revisit red dead online
"Bounty Hunters did not wear full black leather outfits with gold ornamentation."
I feel personally attacked!
How to look like a lawman- get the sheriff of Rhodes drunk, chase a couple of dummies, get a badge.
- The Dutch Van der Linde Technique
This one is great! I chuckled more than a few times lol
Thanks, Tom!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this!
I’m currently reading a book on Bass Reeves. Cool to see an outfit option for him here.
Hey MvH i’m really liking the new content (cool knife btw). And I am exited for your buffalo hunt as well! I got one question. Would it be historically accurate to wear the traditional lawman outfit with the black cayuga hat instead of the black stalker hat? Thanks and keep up the great work
Thanks, Corbin! Yeah, I think that’s reasonable and accurate.
Ironically I opted for the everyday shirt (or whichever has that collar), a brown vest, suit pants, and tie, and the tuxedo shoes. I joked with my friends that I looked like a bootleg lawman/lawyer, but I’m pleased to hear my choice in attire, aside from color seems to have been at least somewhat accurate.
