The West is like the Pirates era: we made it look so cool and fancy, when it truly was far from this.

Great work on a look at the authentic "Old West'. I was totally amazed at the revealing part of your video on the Saloon Girls of the Old West. The similarity between these lovely Ladies and the ancient and honorable Geisha Girls of Japan is remarkable! There respective duties were exactly the same. The only true difference is that the Geisha were much more institutionalized and remained a very honorable profession until this Day. As these really outstanding American Saloon Girls, the Japanese Geisha Girls we're never prostitutes. Though at times a Geisha may have an affair with a gentleman and even eventually marry him, but the never sold themselves. And, just like these outstanding American Saloon Girls, the Geisha were of a middle to upper class background. The Geisha were sophisticated and well cultures like their American Sisters. They are especially trained in song, musical instruments, and traditional Japanese folk Dance. Their profession is focused at entertaining male customers of the tavern or Teahouse in which they are employed. They sing, play the Koto (A stringed instrument), dance, and simply chat with the male customers. These are the very same duties these beautiful American Women performed! And, the intent and focus of these two groups of Sisters, was exactly the same. The Geisha are considered true Artists in every sense of the word. And, it's quite obvious that these impressive American Women were very talented Artists as well. The only real difference between these groups of Sisters is that the "Geisha Girls" were, and are, formally organized and even have a Union to represent them. Additionally, the Geisha history goes back several centuries. Other than these two factors, these outstanding Women are almost identical in their chosen careers. I want to make clear that I use the word "GIRLS" only because this is what they have traditionally been called. Personally, I realize that both these American, and the Japanese female Artists, should more correctly be referred to as, "Women". Once again you have my sincere "Thank You" for providing us with an authentic peek at the Old American West.
Bravo!

Being a rather grim lad, I once owned a book entitled "Brutes, Beasts and Human Fiends." It included a chapter on Kate Bender and her clan, and implied that she lured men to their death with her good looks and charms. If momory serves, that book claimed they were killers AND cannibals, and that they were executed for their crimes.
In any event, thanks for the memory jolt - I don’t think I even thought of, or even heard the name "Kate Bender, " for about forty years.

At 7:32 I totally expected to hear "if it weren't for those meddling kids".

Labette county was misidentified as being in Texas. It’s in Kansas.

The Wild West was a horrible time period to be alive, but the romanticization of it is fascinating, so many cool stories

[patriciapalmer]

It got the name Wild for a reason. Dirty Little Billy (Michael Pollard) iconic classic for it's mud, raw depiction of the reality of it

[willieqwert]

I wanted to point out an error. Labette County is in Kansas. I also would like to say great video as always.

I did my college senior project on American Indians and western society. Til I was done, it was over 80 pages long and I received the only A+ by my advisor. She was also an expert in this area (which I didn't know). The west n it's history are constantly being romanticized which is really sad. Great video. I love your work. Keep it up!!

[blainedunlap]

Labette County and the Benders are in KANSAS. Between Parsons Ks. and Cherryvale Ks to be exact. Nothing to do with Texas at all.

Annie Oakley wasn't a Westerner. She never lived in the American West. She was discovered by Buffalo Bill Cody in the East and hired to perform in his Wild West shows for several years.

One of the guys that went to the benders for "Investigation" Said later that they had met the benders. What had transpired was just so gruesome that none of them wanted to talk about it and so they told everyone that the familie Had taken off

[jtoland]

Great video!
I think the first female serial killer goes to Lavinia Fischer and her husband John. In 1820, they were hanged for a similar operation in their home / "Inn"

Isn't this the exact same video this channel uploaded a couple weeks ago?

You said that the dead would begin desecrating, I believe you mean decomposing.
