Podcast idea: Mark Twain Never Said That. Each episode focuses on a misattributed Mark Twain quote and attempts to track down who originally said it.
Yes, I’m listening to the new season of Embedded.

One of the lesser known outlaws of the Old West was Rufus Nephew, aka Climax Jim. That's unfortunate because the man's life was a never ending series of crimes, arrests, acquittals, convictions & daring escapes. Here's a sampling of some of his very stupid adventures... 🧵

Yesterday, February 18th, marked the 147th anniversary of John Tunstal's murder.
The Englishman's death sparked the Lincoln County War and helped turn Billy the Kid into one of the most famous outlaws of all time.
Fun fact: Tunstall was only 24 years old when he was killed.

This kindly looking gent is Josiah Scurlock. He spent the majority of his life teaching and studying philosophy. Before that, however, he was a hardened killer known as Doc.

Excellent thread

Historians find this (misspelling of "bureaucracy" and all) hilarious. Mark Wilson wrote a superb book (follow the thread!) about how the Civil War was won by managers as much as warriors.
I see even darker lessons here. The warrior ethos without institutional constraints is simply dangerous.

I’m on my 2nd reading of Jesse James by @tj-stiles.bsky.social and it’s quickly becoming one of my fav biographies.
Yes, it’s about an Old West outlaw but the reconstruction politics, anger, & propaganda feel very similar to our present times.

There's a new show on Netflix called American Primeval. One of the main characters is a real-life historical figure named Jim Bridger. He was also portrayed in The Revenant by Will Poulter and The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger by my buddy (we spoke once) Rib Hillis. THREAD 👇👇👇

Was the outlaw Jesse James a cross-dresser? Probably not but there is an interesting story of him dressing as a young lady on at least one occasion.
