Wild West sheriffs kept law and order on the frontier alongside fellow lawmen and the local citizenry. They’ve been dramatized, glamorized, and exaggerated in films and literature for generations and yes, the life of a Wild West sheriff was dangerous, but it could also be... weird.

  • My great grandfather was a U.S. marshal in S.E. Okla. and Texas. My grandfather who was born in 1880 and passed in 1976 at 96yrs. of age had a lot of stories of his father's exploits. My great grandfather said men did what ever they had to do to make a living and some would cross from being a law officer to outlaw frequently. My father was able to get many of his stories down on paper before the death of my grandfather. One story I remember my grandfather telling was of a sheriff who lost the election and was replaced by another man. The ex-sheriff took up with some outlaws and shot the man who had replaced him as sheriff. My great grandfather was charged with tracking the bunch down and dealing out justice. They tracked the group to two dug outs in the side of a hill. It was decided that since it was almost dark they would watch the dug outs and approach them in the morning. Once daylight came and they could see they realized there had been a disturbance at the dug outs. Upon closer inspection they found there was no horses in the corral. They carefully approached the mouths of the dug outs and found one empty. The man they were chasing had been shot and was lieing dead in the other dugout. Not long after some Texas Rangers rode up and said that about an hour before my ggrandfather and his group got there they rode up and a gun battle started. After a short time the men in the dug outs made a break and got on their horses and fled south. The Rangers followed but eventually lost their tracks on the Rocky ground and had returned to see if they had doubled back. The only one killed in the gun battle was the ex- sheriff who had ran to the front of the dug out and then back. This whole time he was bent over because the dugout was not tall enough to stand in. After a shot when he turned to go back to the safety of the back of the dug out he was hit. The bullet was a large caliber 45-70 and went right up his rectum and out the top of his head (what head was left). There are a lot of other stories that I was left. To be a law man in those days wasn't anything like Hollywood portrays. They lived a very rough, dangerous, lonely life.

  • Here in Canada, we had a different system for policing our west, in response to a massacre of local natives in the Cypress Hills by American whiskey traders, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald passed the Mounted Police Act, creating the North-West Mounted Police, a paramilitary force, under direct federal control, to police the Northwest Territories (which at the time included all of modern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Nunavut, and the north of Ontario and Québec), the force was armed and trained as cavalry, many of the officers and men had previously served in the British Army, or the Canadian Militia, the Mounted Police kept the peace between the natives, the settlers, and the Métis (mostly), shut down the illegal liquor trade, and handled a score of other duties in the prairies and Canada's north, these duties included (but were not limited to) census taking, tax collection, customs control, enforcing the prohibition laws in effect in the Northwest Territories and it's successor provinces at the time, serving as bailiffs for local courts, guarding prisoners (who were held in Mounted Police Barracks, since dedicated jails didn't exist there yet), and occasionally, and carrying out executions, most notably, the hanging of Métis rebel leader Louis Riel for Treason in 1885. The NWMP was renamed to the "Royal Northwest Mounted Police" due to many of it's members leaving the force to fight for Queen and Country in South Africa during the Second Boer War, they then went on to help form the South African Constabulary, a force based off the Mounted Police, meant for service in the former Boer republics. During WW1, the Mounted Police, along with Canada's other federal police force, the Dominion Police, were used to maintain national security (the Dominion Police in eastern Canada, and the Mounted Police in western Canada), they patrolled the borders, arrested spies, controlled unrest, and of course, as with all police forces in the western world at this time, they suppressed strikes and labour uprisings, also during this time, the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan formed their own Provincial Police, to take over general police duties in rural areas (they would be disbanded during the Great Depression as a cost saving measure by their provincial governments, with their duties being transferred back to the federal police). In 1920, the Royal Northwest Mounted Police was merged with the Dominion Police to form the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the which remains in existence to this day.

    • Disappointed that they said Dodge City outlawed guns for everyone but lawmen, but then shows text which doesn't back up the claim. Old west gun control was a lot more complicated than portrayed in the video. Tombstone had a carry permit system, so If you supported the sheriff, you could carry a gun. It was thought to be acceptable because Arizona was a territory, and many argued the Constitution didn't apply. Many have seen the picture of Dodge City firearm sign without realizing it was in the middle of town, at the intersection nearest the Longbranch Saloon. It was targeted at the transients coming into town for a wild time. The city residents had guns available, even if they didn't have them on their person. The law was inconsistently enforced, except when these town visitors crossed the deadline into the residential part of town. Then it was emphatically enforced.

  • I've read a lot that due to how life was in the old west and how it was hard to make money so a lot of Marshals or Sheriffs rode the line between outlaw and lawman. Some would go outlaw for a while and then turn lawman and vice versa. Also watch Bonanza they show a lot about Sheriff's deputizing posses. Another fact is that Sheriff Joe Arpao still had a Sheriff's posse within the last 10 years.

  • i am liking your western videos. i subbed with the saloon video. one of the comments mentioned Wild Bill having an STD. that kind of blows my mind. i have read a lot of books on the west and never heard that. not doubting, just interested. i still watch Hop a long cassidy on saturday mornings. if i could go back in time, it would probably be to Deadwood, SD. at the time Wild Bill and Calamity Jane were there.
