Blood Meridian Christmas Miracle
Переглядів 17,319
4 місяці томуUncover the dark history of the Yuma Crossing and the infamous John Joel Glanton's reign of terror. Learn how Glanton's brutality led to a massacre that sparked the Yuma War and a tense standoff on Christmas Day 1851. Lieutenant Amiel Whipple and his men find themselves outnumbered and facing certain death at the hands of the Quechan people, still angry at Glanton's many abuses. What happens next is what many would consider a Blood Meridian Christmas miracle. #wildwest #history #western

John Joel Glanton was a real piece of work. One of the worst in an era of bad men. Anyway, how about hitting that subscribe button?

Josh my man, you made it again! Glanton and Kirker appear by McMurtry too and are worse than bad. There is a old east german movie named just Apaches which was succesfull all over the world but never in the english tongue and Glanton was the bad guy by other name..Yuma never get along with Apache. God's Blessings to you and yours from Northern Germany Ludwig.

@user-nr4hf6zb5i 3 місяці тому
I’m going to have to pull it back off the bookshelf. I very rarely read fiction but I’m about to finish Alamo Traces and when I read Blood Meridian previously I was drunk and can’t distinguish it from Texas Blood. Ironically the author of Texas Blood claims to longtime family ownership of the vast property described in the opening of Cormick McCarthy‘s novel “no country for old men” where Llewellyn was hunting and found more than he wanted. Now I’m going to have to read all three again. "Blood Meridian, No Country For Old Men, and Texas Blood”. I think hodges wrote Texas Blood.

Your delivery flawless brother and as a proud member of the Mohawk Nation I appreciate how you take the time to preface your stories without dogma. I find your telling of events to be genuine in both spirit and intention and I believe that is why you are so entertaining. Thank you brother, I look forward to the next installment 🍻

My favorite part of this story is how Glanton got his comeuppance. My understanding is that the same Chief who Glanton had beaten up, after determining to get deadly revenge, was invited in for a drink by Glanton himself. Why did Glanton do this? I don’t know but ckearly he was not a deep thinker. But after seeing Glanton and his men fall asleep, the Chief bashed Glanton’s head in with a club. The world is hard, but some people don’t make it any easier on themselves and actions can have consequences. Regardless, this is a good story. I’m really glad I stumbled across this channel and look forward to new tales and listening to past vids. (I’m almost done with your Bridger series) Cheers

Where did you hear that detail about Glanton ? He’s quite difficult to find information on .
@thelostone6981 4 місяці тому
@@PeriodDrama I read about in the book When The Great Spirit Died by William Secrest. It’s a super short paragraph or two, but second favorite part about this story is that the “revenge” party grew so large and was so costly, the fledgling State of California nearly went bankrupt AND it didn’t produce any results because the Chief and his men escaped “punishment”.
