Podcasts about Oliver Loving

Send us a textThe forgotten heroes who shaped the American West emerge through the harrowing tale of the 1867 cattle drive that would later inspire the beloved "Lonesome Dove" narrative. As northeastern cities expanded in the 19th century, feeding their growing populations became increasingly problematic. The solution came in the form of the Long Drive—an economic revolution where small teams of cowboys moved massive herds of Texas longhorns over 600 miles to Kansas railheads, creating the foundation for a national food market.Behind this economic transformation were extraordinary individuals whose courage defined the frontier spirit. When Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving embarked on their second cattle drive in 1867, they faced challenges that modern Americans can hardly comprehend—from stampedes during electrical storms to deadly encounters with indigenous warriors. African American cowboy Bose Ickard emerged as "one of the best night riders" in Goodnight's crew, demonstrating remarkable skill during a dangerous nighttime stampede. His cautious response—"I wasn't certain who had this herd till I saw you. I thought maybe the Indians had them"—reveals the constant vigilance required on these perilous journeys.The centerpiece of this episode recounts the fateful decision that would claim Oliver Loving's life. Against Goodnight's advice, Loving rode ahead to secure a business contract at Fort Sumner, accompanied only by the remarkable "One-Armed Bill" Wilson. Their subsequent battle with over a hundred Indians, Wilson's miraculous escape swimming down the Pecos River, and Loving's tragic death reveal the extraordinary human cost behind the economic development of the West. Perhaps most compelling is how these historical events inspired fictional characters like Joshua Deets in "Lonesome Dove," based on the real-life Bose Ickard—a testament to how African American cowboys found respect in communities that valued skill over race. Join us as we reclaim these overlooked stories and discover how the American West has always been more diverse than popular culture suggests.

Im Juni 1866 brechen die Rancher Charles Goodnight und Oliver Loving mit 2000 Rindern aus Texas ins benachbarte New Mexico auf, um das Bosque Redondo Reservat mit Fleisch zu versorgen - der Startschuss für den großen amerikanischen Rinderboom. Nach dem Ende des Bürgerkriegs liegt Texas wirtschaftlich am Boden. Während in den Staaten der Ostküste Nachfrage und Bedarf an Rindfleisch steigen, sind ausgewachsene Rinder im Lone Star State gerade einmal 2 Dollar pro Kopf wert. Im Juni 1866 schließt der Rancher Charles Goodnight einen waghalsigen Entschluss: Mehrere Tausend Rinder über hunderte von Meilen in andere Staaten zu treiben, um sie dort mit Profit zu verkaufen. Zusammen mit seinem Geschäftspartner Oliver Loving und einigen Dutzend Cowboys beschreiten die beiden eine Route, die ihre HErde von Texas über New Mexico bis nach Colorado - und letztlich auch Wyoming - führen sollte. Der Goodnight-Loving-Trail ist heute eine der legendären Routen des großen amerikanischen Rindertrails - und Goodnight und Loving die Pioniere des großen amerikanischen Rinderbooms. Und auch in anderer Hinsicht gilt der Mann Charles Goodnight in seinem Heimatstaat Texas als wahre Westerner-Legende... 0:00:00 - Intro und Einleitung 0:02:07 - Charles Goodnight: Herkunft und erste Lebensjahre 0:03:04 - Ziviler Scout und Texas Ranger in den 1850ern 0:05:03 - Von unerfahrenen Anführern und kugelsicheren Comanche-Schildern 0:09:55 - Goodnight im Bürgerkrieg 0:10:48 - Oliver Loving - Der "Dean of Texas Trail Drivers" 0:13:41 - Der Rindermarkt von ´66: In Texas wertlos, an der Ostküste gefragt 0:19:47 - Nachrichten aus dem Wilden Westen: Leavenworth Daily Conservative (Kansas), 22.3.1866 0:20:37 - Exkurs: Das Bosque Redondo Reservat in New Mexico 0:26:10 - 2000 Rinder, über 600 Meilen 0:28:16 - 6.6.1866: Der erste Nachkriegs-Rindertreck von Texas nach New Mexico 0:28:40 - Roundup und Chuckwagon - Ikonen des American Old West 0:30:52 - Der Goodnight-Loving-Trail: Von Belknap, Texas, nach Fort Sumner, New Mexico 0:34:27 - "Der Friedhof der Träume eines Cowboys" 0:35:52 - Ankunft in Fort Sumner, und die Geburt der großen amerikanischen Vieh-Trails 0:39:15 - Der Tod Oliver Lovings 0:40:42 - Neue Partner, neue Wege: Kooperation mit John Chisum und Heirat mit Mary Ann Dyer 0:42:45 - 1876: Partnerschaft mit John Adair und Gründung der JA Ranch 0:50:25 - Bison- und "Cattalo"-Zucht, Deals mit Quannah Parker und andere Aktivitäten 0:53:11 - Ab 1889: Ende der JA-Partnerschaft, Fehlinvestitionen und letzte Lebensjahre 0:55:33 - Was hat Charles Goodnight beeinflusst?

Lonesome Dove, the 11th novel of famed author Larry McMurtry, was published in 1985. Four years later, the characters Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call were immortalized on screen by actors Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. But did you know that much of Lonesome Dove was inspired by real-life people and events? Today, we discuss the real history behind Lonesome Dove—Charles Goodnight, Oliver Loving, Bose Ikard, Nelson Story, and more! We also discuss favorite Lonesome Dove quotes and a little behind-the-scenes trivia.

Sage Whetnall has just graduated high school and completed her FFA career in Cardington, Ohio.  Now it is time for her get her education, and she knows where she is going to do that.......under the blue skies of Texas on the back of a horse! Sage and her family are very involved in the horse business from showing to rescuing to selling to rehabilitating.  As a matter of fact, Sage already is a certified equine massage therapist and wants to start her own business massaging horses in the future.  However, that future has to wait.  It has to wait for Sage to go on an adventure and to learn the real ins and outs of working on horseback.  Where better to learn that, than a cattle ranch in Texas. Texas Lore means a lot of things to a lot of people, but it is never without cattle.  It is either cattleman who became oilman, or oilman who bought cattle ranches.  Either way, cattle are always involved.  From Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving to Woodrow Call and Augustus McRae, cattle are part of the story.  Where else is there a ranch called "King" that started its very own breed of cattle? Sage really believes in hands on knowledge and has a passion for horses, Western riding and Western work.  So, to get the experience and knowledge she needs to really understand how a performance or working horse is hurting and how to help it, she needs to see the work itself, up close and personal.  Her plan to get this education is to go to work, and to work in exactly that field. It is more than an adventure, it is a great way to learn!

Teaser: The Chuckwagon, the cowboy cook's rolling pantry—how rancher's kept hungry cowboys fed on the trail. Most ranchers will tell you that cowboys are always hungry, so one ranch challenge is to satisfy that hunger. The ranch cook-shack is where cowhands gather for meals when they are close to home. On the move, the chuckwagon is where the cook rules and dishes up tasty fare including cowboy beans, sourdough biscuits, vinegar pie, or son-of-a-gun stew—a dish made from the heart, liver, and tripe of an animal. What's tripe? The lining of the stomach. On historic cattle drives, and even today at roundup, the chuckwagon is the heart of the cowboys' camp, and the cook's job is key to keeping the ranch hands happy. Cowboys have been known to move from one ranch to another based on the quality of “Camp Cookie's” food. To answer the question of how the chuckwagon got its name, we have to look back to the 1600's in England where butchers used the term “chuck” to identify their cheaper meat products. Jump to the 1700's and chuck had become a common term for good, basic food. You might be surprised to know that the chuckwagon is the official vehicle of Texas. Thanks to Charles Goodnight, a Texas Ranger turned cattleman, the chuckwagon made its appearance in 1866. Goodnight—along with pioneer cattleman Oliver Loving—planned a cattle drive from Texas to Colorado, in hopes of opening new cattle markets. In preparation, Goodnight bought a surplus Army wagon with heavy iron axles and customized it to serve as storage, a rolling pantry, water wagon, tool box and medicine chest. To serve these purposes, Goodnight started with the basic wagon bed and added three elements which were already common on wagons: on one side he attached a large water barrel which would hold a couple of days worth of water; on the other side, a big tool box; and curving above the wagon bed, bentwood supports for a heavy canvas top. However, what was innovative about Goodnight's chuckwagon design was the creation of a chuck box. Installed at the rear of the wagon, the chuck box was a built-in cabinet with a rear opening covered by a hinged lid that flipped down from the front of the cabinet, creating a table surface supported by a leg which swung to the ground. Inside the cabinet was a series of shelves and drawers. Packing the wagon before a trail drive or roundup, here's what Goodnight's trail-drive cook would likely have loaded into the wagon bed: bedrolls, slickers, guns, ammunition, lanterns, kerosene, axle grease, a spare wheel, and rope, along with bulk food including flour, brown sugar, coffee, and salt. Also, pinto beans, corn meal, salt pork, beef jerky, and dried fruit. Especially well stocked chuckwagons might also contain potatoes, onions and canned tomatoes.The side-mounted tool box would contain branding irons, hobbles, shovel, ax, horse-shoeing supplies and other tools. Shelves and drawers in the chuck box itself, would be packed with food for immediate use plus items like lard, baking soda, vinegar, molasses, sourdough starter, matches, and tobacco. Somewhere in this inventory would be the coffee pot and whiskey bottle—the whiskey for medicinal purposes! An important drawer in the chuck box was the “possible drawer” which the cook packed with odds and ends that might possibly be needed—including such things as needles, thread, buttons, and castor oil. Below the chuck box, in the boot of the wagon, the cook would store his wash tub, skillets, dutch ovens, pot hooks and racks, tin cups, plates and silverware. And let's not forget the all-important coffee grinder which was attached to the side of the chuck box. All in all, a well-organized pantry on wheels—a pantry that was put to good use, although most meals were beans, sourdough biscuits, and dried fruit...

Eran los tiempos en los que el mítico vaquero de hoy era un personaje real, dos vaqueros tienen que conducir su ganado a más de 1000 kilómetros de distancia y eligen una ruta por la que pocos se atreven a internarse, es una zona muy peligrosa llamada la comanchería y su heroica aventura inspirará la novela Lonesome Dove. Pocos saben que esa novela está basada en una historia real, la aventura heroica de Charles Goodnight y Oliver Loving que define el espíritu del cowboy y la cruda realidad del oeste americano tras la guerra civil.

Larry McMurtry's screenplay turned novel "Lonesome Dove" reached an estimated 23 million homes when it first aired on CBS in February of 1989, bringing much-needed attention and popularity back to the western genre shows on television and in movies. Although his character's names and personalities were fiction- his story was taken from actual historical events- namely, the creation of the legendary Goodnight-Loving Trail in Texas and New Mexico, and the events and tragedy surrounding Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving. In this episode we discuss the making of the movie "Lonesome Dove" as well as the actual events that inspired it.

Oliver Loving was a trailblazer...literally.  He drove cattle to Illinois, Louisiana, and Colorado.  With Charles Goodnight he blazed a new western trail intended to avoid the Indian threat.  Impatient as he was brave, he rode ahead to Santa Fe and was immediately attacked.  However, he held off hundreds of Comanches while one of his men went for help.  Through luck, or fate, or toughness, or all of it, he survived the attack.  But his wounds were too severe. Before he died, his best friend promised to take his body back to Texas.  Get a taste of the cattle drives, the danger, the bravery, and promises kept in this latest episode of Wise About Texas.      

On this episode we delve into the fascinating true events and real people who helped inspire what I consider to be the greatest story ever told, Lonesome Dove. We discuss Charlie Goodnight, Oliver Loving, Blue Duck, Robert Duvall, how to pronounce the word "route" and how I sometimes hate my job so much that I contemplate jumping out the window. Plus, lots of fun facts and behind the scenes info!  .

To many people, Texas is cowboys and cattle drives. The image of tough, independent men driving a massive herd of longhorns across desolate country while facing impossible odds is universally iconic. But cattle drives werenʼt just a bunch of cowboys getting together and aiming a herd of cows north. They were highly profitable and well organized business ventures that followed carefully crafted and scouted trails. One of the most famous of these was the Goodnight-Loving trail, named after two classic Texas characters: Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight, who forged an epic friendship that has become as legendary as their trail.
