Old Man Clanton & the Red Sash Cowboys

We’ve all seen Tombstone, but how much do you really know about the origins of the Clantons? Or to be more specific, how much do you know about the family patriarch, Newman “Old Man” Clanton? Is it true he was really the meanest of the Cochise County Cowboys? Join me today as we trace Old Man Clanton from Tennessee to Arizona. We’ll discuss his association with other bandits like Curly Bill Brocius and John Kinney, his alleged atrocities on the Mexican border, and finally, his untimely demise in Skull Canyon. And yes, we’ll also take a look at whether or not the Cochise County Cowboys really wore those red sashes. Make sure you stick around to the end for a little bonus Wild West Q&A. We’ll talk about everything from Billy the Kid’s lost guns to the weird story behind the Oklahoma panhandle and even the missing intro music!
