When you think of the stereotypical Wild West individual, what comes to mind? Does your mind conjure images of dirty, gruff men as mean as rabid coyotes, spitting large chunks of tobacco into metal spittoons? The type of men who would shoot you over a card game and spend their days riding through the vast Western frontier with a revolver firmly attached to their hip? Well, those men certainly did exist, but not many people remember how many tough women and Wild West heroines made their marks upon history

I've read about a few different women who disguised themselves as men and fought in the civil war. To be with their men and/or just because they wanted to fight for the cause or for the adventure.
I suppose so many of the troops were very young plus the average height/size of men was less then so it was somewhat easier to pass

About 10 years ago. I think it was the PBS series. 'American Experience'. that did several episodes on some of the legendary figures of the old west. One of those episodes was on Annie Oakley. She was pretty awesome & way ahead of her time, in so many ways. If you get the chance, do a SEARCH for that episode.

Stagecoach Mary Fields is my favorite bad ass black woman of the Old West! I wrote a fiction book with her as the main character and I hope to get it on the market someday. I absolutely love your videos. I'm learning so much and they're perfect for my reserach.

Weird that the wikipedia article on Eleanor Dumont doesn't even mention that she shot and killed Jack McKnight. Cuz I was curious if she went to jail. I did find other web sites that said she was suspected of the crime but never arrested.

I dont know how they managed. Especially at their monthly problems. The lady in the army as well. Wow. Dont know how she managed to keep it private/secret. And they must have strapped down their boobs. Fantastic brave women.

This was great. As a black women I loved to see them featured, but I thoroughly enjoyed all these womens storys. Good work. Please do stories of unknown women more often. Its so interesting.

Annie Oakley also met the Infamous Lakota leader Sitting Bull in Minnesota.
Sitting Bull gave her the Lakota name Little Sure Shot and Annie used the name throughout her career.

Elated to see how women of color were included in this repertoire of heroines. FINALLY! Wish we learned this in school. It was boring when I learned American History eons ago.

Stagecoach Mary 1832, Cathay Williams during the Civil War, and Annie Oakley impress me the most! They were the most heroic! They could really survive in a harsh environment
reply

i really enjoyed this! there are plenty of cool women from history who deserve to be mentioned and i mean mentioned accurately unlike what a new movie would do
reply

The one who pretended to be a man just so she could fight in the war. that's BAD. ASS! I'm willing to bet women wouldn't do that today. I know I wouldn't.
reply

Idk how this happened but ummmm. I hated anything on the Wild West my whole life, my Grandmother loved it. the past few months I've binged info, What gives?
reply

Car history you have none theres so much. bikes. motorcycles Harley Davidson Indian. lawnmowers. history of racing. The history of airplanes, boats?
reply

Big Nose Kate didnt look like her nose was that big. she was pretty. Maybe big nose meant like, stubborn or something. Like hard-nose does today
reply

Big Nose Kate has a special place in my heart. the fire ruse so she could singlehandedly bust her BF outta jail. Yea she a ride n die chick, ha.
reply

I'd like to see a video on why the drawing of the Middle East map after WWI was such a disaster that we're still experiencing to this day
reply

I heard about Annie Oakley when I was a kid and Stage Coach Mary a couple of years ago but the other women mentioned were all bad azzes!
reply

There was another women who no one knew she was a women until she died as a stage coach driver in the real life show Death Valley days
reply

Love the way you present the real history. Would love to see the weird history view of Lizzie Borden and the Salem Witch trials.
reply

Can you do one about some of the most notorious Wild West outlaws like in detail ones or also ones about native Americans
