I just came across this video on my KZitem page and subscribed immediately. I am a history buff as well as an antique firearms collector. I really like your detailed information about the 1847 Colt Walker. This was the first of the "horse pistols" named so because of the weight and size of the gun and that many had a holster attached to their horse instead of carrying them on their hips. This gun held up to 60 grams of black powder in each cylinder, which gave the firearm tremendous power and was the most powerful handgun in the world until the creation of the .44 magnum in the 20th century. The gun did have a deadly failure, and the cylinders would often explode from the intense pressure in the cylinders with such a high load of black powder and the use of inferior materials used to manufacture the firearms.The following year Colt made the cylinders shorter so less powder could be used but still used the heavy frame and the 44 caliber ball. There were several models of these handguns, which were named Dragoons. I have never owned one of these because of the rarity of the originals that survived, but I do own one that I purchased in the 80s when Colt started assembling some of their most popular black powder models and using serial numbers where they left off in the 19th century. I have never fired this Colt, but I have owned several very nice exact replicas, and they are a very powerful, accurate, dependable side arm that would have been a life saver on the plains of Texas in the 1840s against determined, hostile opponents.

This movie is unhistorical because it plays in 1892 when a Comanche attack on anybody was highly unlikely, because since 1875 all Comanche-bands were safely locked up and guarded in the Fort Sill reservation in Oklahoma. The Comanche-wars were over.

I don't necessarily know that I would call it a "great country." Marginally better than most countries historically? Absolutely, 100%!! But "great?" Nah. We weren't the first to ban slavery, and we actually had to fight a war with our own citizens over it (a war, btw, that STILL wouldn't have ended slavery if the average northerner didn't think it was necessary to end the violence). The US then engaged in over 100 years of racial persecution against the descendants of former slaves before the civil rights movement, which only partly fixed the problem in spite of what we most pf us were taught in schools. The US committed theft and genocide against the native peoples who inhabited this land by creating false reasons to go to war with them (the campaign against the Sioux and Cheyenne), taking their land because it might have gold to help our economy (the black hills), committing atrocities against peaceful natives whenever those wars weren't going in our favor (see: the massacres at Sand Creek and the Washita). The US then put virtually all of the survivors on reservations without adequate provisions, and killed the buffalo to make sure they couldn't use their native hunting grounds anymore. The US then restricted civil liberties during the cold war, fucked with democratic countries if we didn't like their politics (see: all of South American history during the 20th century), and just generally made the world a much worse place than it needed to be for no real reason. Today we lack universal healthcare, unlike virtually every other country in the western world. Our education system is also fucked beyond measure, and most other western countries provide college for free or far less money than we do. Are our problems worse than other countries? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We still have way more individual freedoms than most places historically have, but not as many as some western nations once you factor in the effects of income inequality. So, good? Sure. History worth remembering? Hell yeah! Great? Not a chance.

Very interesting. I have been a Texas Ranger buff since I was a kid. I'm good friends with a retired Ranger and we talk about the "old timers" from time to time. Very brave men. Probably beyond what we can imagine, knowing a little bit about the history of the Comanche in Texas. However, I was not a big fan of you describing Rangers of that era as "ad hoc killers for hire". Seems to me that if you haven't walked a mile in their boots then you have no idea what they went through or what their motivations were for joining a Ranger outfit.

I don't know why your response "That's what they were. Deal with it Hoss" hasn't showed up here but don't call me "Hoss" . I was polite and respectful with my comment so don't be a dick. You have obviously done a lot of research for your videos and have probably crossed referenced many, many sources. But history tends to be subject to the perspective from which it's told. There are plenty of stories told from the perspective of the pioneers of that era about comanches and their brutal killing and torture. "Comanche roasted captives to death over open fires", "...burying captives up to the chin and cutting off their eyelids so their eyes were seared by the burning sun before they starved to death", "staking out male captives spread-eagled and naked over red ant beds after excising the victim's private parts, putting them in his mouth and sewing his lips together", "John Parker was pinned to the ground, he was scalped and his genitals were ripped off...Granny Parker was stripped and fixed to the earth with a lance driven through her flesh. Several warriors raped her while she screamed' And they did it all for free Tough, hard men who volunteered to do a hard, brutal job for maybe $25 a month, if they got paid at all. Pretty poor wages for a "killer for hire", even back in those days.

Comanche were absolute savage and ruthless, roasting stripped people alive on fires, tying people to stakes across Red Ant nests, burying people up to their necks with their eyelids chopped off in the heat of the day. The women were the worst, they were patient, and started off with petting the prisoner, which inevitably lead to amputation of ears, nose, lips and genitals. Rangers were the only professionals who could deal with them. You don't mention no part of that Comanche nation culture.

You need to keep in mind that the revolvers used in those days (primer cap fired blackpowder single action only, I highly recommend that you take up Cowboy Action shooting as a hobby) can't be safely loaded to full capacity. You have to leave an empty chamber to let the hammer down on for carrying because if you bump the hammer or drop the gun it will fire if the chamber isn't empty. So your 6 shot cylinder is loaded to only 5 and 5 is definitely only worth 4, under normal circumstances unless you're willing to take your life into the hands of accident, of if you're Alec Baldwin and you don't care about taking a few innocent lives.

Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted with talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is to say goodbye to the swift pony and then hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival. Chief Seattle's Letter

That one picture of a dog at the feet of the Rangers. He had to be plumb tuckered hanging with the horse riders.

I wish we knew who the people in that old picture were.

Almost all of the photos are anachronistic. They are from much later in the 19th century. That is a misleading practice and will lead to mis-perceptions about weapons and equipment of 1850 versus say 1885.
