Okay, so, I was watching this show, “Watchmen,” right? It’s pretty wild, and it got me thinking about some of the historical stuff they showed. There’s this character, Tulsa Colston, and I got super curious if he was a real person or just made up for the show.
First thing I did was fire up Google. I typed in “Tulsa Colston real person” and a bunch of stuff popped up. It was kind of a mess, honestly, a lot of articles about the show and some history stuff mixed in. I skimmed through a few, but nothing really confirmed if he was an actual historical figure or not.
Digging Deeper
Next, I tried to find some historical records. I figured if he was real, there must be some mention of him somewhere, like in old newspapers or something. I went to a few different websites that have historical archives, but it was slow going. Lots of names, but no Tulsa Colston. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack, man!
- Tried a couple of library databases.
- Looked through some online archives of old newspapers.
- Even checked some genealogy websites, just in case.
I spent a good chunk of time on this, and I was starting to think this guy was just made up for the show. But I’m stubborn, so I kept at it.
The Show’s Connection
Then I thought, maybe I should focus more on the show itself. I rewatched some scenes with Tulsa Colston and paid close attention to the details. The show is known for mixing real history with fiction, so maybe there were some clues there.
I started looking into the historical events mentioned in the show, like the Tulsa Race Massacre. I read a bunch of articles and watched some documentaries about it. It’s some heavy stuff, for real. But still, no mention of Tulsa Colston anywhere in the actual historical accounts.
Conclusion Time
After all that digging, I came to the conclusion that Tulsa Colston is most likely a fictional character created for the “Watchmen” show. It seems like the writers used him to represent certain themes and ideas, but he’s not a real historical figure.
It was a pretty interesting rabbit hole to go down, though. I learned a lot about the Tulsa Race Massacre and the challenges of separating fact from fiction, especially when it comes to historical dramas. I guess sometimes, even the most compelling characters are just that—characters. But hey, that’s what makes a good story, right?
