The black and white cat is the one who murdered the people on the stagecoach! He has a guilty look the way you hold him.
Incredibly informative and entirely boring
Tis is my first video of yours. This is great! I love the maps and images.
The only thing that shames and angers me more than our racist history is our this countries current racism, it 20,25 we should know better by now!!!
It was not white bandits; white outlaws never, ever traveled in groups of 30 or 31 men!! Completely unheard of; on the other hand, Mexican bandits and Indians did. Any questions, my brothers and sisters??🤔
Good old boys from the south
Later 1800’s
There was incident involving a Venezuelan gang at a saloon in Congress.
The owner of the saloon’s son who was tending bar was jumped and robbed. The gang returned as they were attempting to lay claim to the area’s businesses. The owner was there this time, he was also violently attacked but managed to escape only to return and shoot his assailant. While the gang member was critically injured the bar owner sat in prison awaiting whether he would be charged with murder.
If you can find it and the details that would be greatly appreciated,the once lively history of Congress Az has always intrigued me
The cat did not enjoy that, maybe if you held it in a way that it felt more comfortable, it would be more relaxed? Cats work on consent – you crossed a boundary. And yeah, it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it would be great if you would show more awareness of your cat's body language, and show your love for it by respecting it! 😉 I know you want viewers to see your cat, but your cat is more important than viewers, imo! 😊
