The REAL Al Swearengen
Переглядів 49,635
10 місяців томуAl Swearengen was the notorious owner of Deadwood’s Gem Theatre, a den of sin and vice in the Black Hills boomtown. And make no mistake about it, the real-life Swearengen was much meaner than portrayed on the hit HBO series. #wildwest #cowboy #history

Dude! Ive got to tell you that I was sent to Billings MT for work, have a couple of days off and headed to Deadwood this morning. 5 hours I listened to Deadwood stuff on UKposts when this one came up about 20 miles from town. It was cool to be 1/3 way into this video while driving under the Deadwood arch. I had to detox from your videos for a while after binging. I didn't realize I missed your channel until today. Its good to be back!

Quick question: was his brother a “trout?” (You’ll recall the episode where the preacher has what appeared to be an epileptic-seizure. We find out it’s not epilepsy but Al relates a “tale” about his brother having the “falling sickness” and he would charge money for kids who wanted to see him “flopping.”) Pretty horrific example of Al’s empathy. 😖

First time watching your channel. YT recommended it. The bots might have picked up that I had mentioned Swearengen in an e-mail to somebody recently. I have been to Forest Cemetery in in Okaloosa. I walked lot 21 in a grid pattern and there is no headstone. I verified the location with the Mahaska County Historical Society. I'm glad that you mentioned the incorrect information on the internet about where he is buried and gave the correct location. So many things become lost to history just because of bad information out there.

Josh, I for one find your theory on Al's death, and the previous attempt at killing his brother, most likely right on the money!!! Sad we can never know the truths of somethings! But i believe its safe to say, no matter how "rich and successful" someone with the morals of Al Swearingen may appear to other around him, his own lousy personality is what lead to his misfortunes and ultimately, his death! I would say its surprising he lasted as long as he did!!! Great video Josh and I Thank you!!! We watched all of Deadwood waiting for the final episodes that, as far as I know, never came. So it ended up leaving us hanging. BUT it was a GREAT series!!!! Maybe by now (?) HBO finished up with those missing episodes???

Very telling, the souls that pass each other in history becoming ghosts. The memories they may have had at the end of their lives are their own apparitions. The hay day laughter of the past, the most haunting of it all. What made them laugh? What were their dreams? And was it anything like they imagined, in their last room with a bed and no family near? Their ghosts always linger, history told here and if never forgotten.

I feel that their thoughts, feelings, wonts and tics were no different than ours today. Minus 21C technology and mentally it’s 1882. Population control was an issue then but the lucky people didn’t have the WWW and so were far more at liberty than we today. Dire days approacheth, me thinks.

Calamity Jane worked as a dancer for Swearengen and was the one who brought in the women for him from Nebraska. Deadwood the TV series has her portrayed wrong. She had no hate on for Al, nor did she know Will Bill prior to joining a wagon train he was on. Jane’s history from herself cannot be trusted and unreliable

New sub here, love your channel. But I have to disagree with you in regard to “the best Western ever made”, being Unforgiven. It’s great, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to “Little Big Man” (love me some Faye Dunnaway!), or a film you’ve mentioned in other episodes, “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” Hell, even “Dances With Wolves” was better. But opinions are like A holes, course. Great channel though, brother. And I wish you success in making this full time, and never having to punch a time clock ever again.
