During the First World War, my great Uncle was sent on a mission with fellow Army cavalry soldiers, to hunt down 2 Texas brothers, who had killed two Texas Rangers, while avoiding the draft. The cavalry chased the two outlaws throughout the west, in many areas that had become national parks. This went on for the duration of the war. The brothers were never caught. I wonder how the two cowboys avoided being caught.

There's a 1979 TV miniseries called Mr. Horn, about Tom Horn, starring David Carradine and Richard Widmark. The guy had a very colorful life; the miniseries only shows two periods of his life: his activities as tracker for the Army chasing Geronimo, and his bounty hunter last times, with the boy's death, Horn's trial and execution. Much more historically accurate than the Steve McQueen film.

$100 in 1850 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3, 805. 23 today, an increase of $3, 705. 23 over 172 years. To say youd need to get a barista job aswell, or that youd be doing it for minimum wage seems disingenuous. How much did the average job pay in those days? .. . Exactly.

A video about the wedding night throughout history. Like Marie Antoinette. Or! I had a Spanish teacher who told us that in Spain (idk when) they used to hold a bloody sheet off the balcony to show that the lady was a virgin but fake it with animal blood

To put it simple - the job was dangerous. You had people who complied and did not resist. But then you had people who did not comply and resisted. You also had to be careful not to run into other bounty hunters, because they could get territorial.

Very interesting, the bounty hunting missions in the Red dead duology were fun. I couldn't make it as a bounty hunter today or back then. I find the industry (including the bond industry) predatory, unprofessional, and dishonest.

I love how Bob Ford is a coward, but the traitor, racist, murder Jessie James is considered a hero. James did t deserve the courtesy of a bullet in the back and shouldve been hung for his crimes or sent to rot in prison.

They're were no FBI back in those times. Bounty hunters really had to do some really good search in those times because it was hard finding information in those times to find criminals hiding.

True Grit with Jeff Bridges, was one of the best movies, with how they may have spoken and situations that happened back then. That is how I imagined bounty hunters were back then though.

Gov. Lew Wallace resigned as governor on March 9, 1881. Pat Garrett killed Billy the kid on July 14, 1881. So, who was the governor of the N. M. territory to give the bounty?

I tell you what, woman were the most dangerous. They fought like hellcats and usually had the highest amount of bounty. They know that it had some serious time to be done.

The term Bounty Collector and/or Bounty Scavenger, existed FAR earlier in Britain. The latter-day substitution of Hunter doesn't really fully support your case.
