The mysterious Old West gunfighter Johnny Ringo was involved in the Mason County War in Texas before heading to Tombstone, Arizona, and joining up with the Cochise County Cowboys. Friends with outlaws like Curly Bill Brocius and Ike Clanton, Ringo made quick enemies with Wyatt Earp and his pals, especially Doc Holliday. And in July of 1882 Ringo’s time had come to a premature end. But how? Is the official narrative surrounding Johnny Ringo’s demise true? And could he really speak Latin? #history #wildwest #western

What do you think? Who killed Ringo?
Is the Ringo surname German or maybe ScottsIrish? I’ve always wondered.
I believe you did an excellent job of connecting the dots & covering the back story with all the other claims. I find all these stories interesting, being an old fart now history dose not seem that far away. My Great Grandfather married Ursula James, I noticed the shout out to Jesse. You look at today and think: Man it’s a crazy world. Thanks for doing good things…
You've done your research Your conclusions sound reasonable thank you
I happen to know that Val Kilmer killed Johnny Ringo, I saw it myself.
If Johnny Ringo had shot himself. He would have used the 410 barrel in his 7 shot pistol. That TV show had to have been historically accurate ya know. Lol!
I think he got robbed and killed in his sleep
In my over 50 yrs of reading anything I could get my grubby little fingers on. I came to a theoretical conclusion that Ringo suffered from Depression. All his personality traits lean that way and the majority of decisions he made reinforce my theory. Being drunk as shit and depressed suicide is quite logical to that person. So your belief is very plausible. After hearing this story, I agree. Very good work Josh.
As to your last sentences, Did he scalp himself before or after he shot himself
When I first found your channel, I thought I was listening to Danny McBride narrating the wild west. Kenny Powers, is that you?
I think he was “scalped” by a vulture or some other nonhuman critter.
So, who buried him?
Billy the kid, obviously.
Dingo was my favorite
I lived in tombstone for a little while. I've been to Johnny Ringo's grave. I talked to the locals that are well into there 80's. Buckskin Leslie was seen heading in the direction Johnny road in. It's totally against Johnny Ringo's character MO to commit suicide. He believed in himself strong minded. There was a lot of people after him. And he was found with cheap pistols not the ones that he owned. I believe Buckskin Leslie killed him.
No one will ever know
Almost need you to live stream from Good Springs for Fallout days.
Good episode1 👍
It sounds like, to me, Ringo was reckoned with.. they got him with one shot, to add embarrassment ,they put his gun belt on him, upside down, and whoever hired this gunman to take Ringo out, cut a chunk out of him, for proof, for payment.. the gunman took his horse with him and let it go wherever.. Of course, i grew up around some of those mobsters whose names ended in vowels.. Im sure thats how those folks would handle it…
Ringo killed himself period!
I'd like to kill that bed,it is not that easy!!!You have to have someone help you that knows how to square things up or it's not going together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 1/2 hours later and you get two extra feet that go nowhere i reckon they figure the ones you use will break so you get 2 extras!!!!!!!!
Good theory. Well researched, one of a few possibilities. Well researched nonetheless. 🤠🤠
Excellent
Suicide sounds right. Thanks for the interesting story.
Huckleberry is a mispronunciation of "hacklebearer". A hackle is the handle on a coffin. So it means " I'm your pallbearer ".
First time listener, great, great video man!
I think it was bugs bunny personally
Hucklebearer is a pallbearer.. carry you to your grave…
