The Bozeman Trail was an offshoot of the Oregon Trail, a shortcut to the newly discovered gold fields of Montana Territory. Cutting through the heart of Indian country. It became a flash point for a clash of cultures that would explode into warfare, destruction and tragedy. First telecast March, 2019.

Very nice comment to read! I hope you get a chance to come visit America one day if you want to. I was born in the West. I didn't see the East coast of America until I was in my 40's, and (get ready to laugh!) I was impressed by how much older everything was! Houses 300 years old still being lived in in cities equally as old, where out west we have ghost towns 150 years old, our ghost towns are infants by comparison to our east coast, yet Nothing in comparison to the history you live in there! The East was someplace to see, but our West is the place to be. At least most of it. Unfortunately there are places out west I have to rule out now due to politics. I'll leave it at that. But it still has many beautiful wide open and wild spaces.

Stayed in Bozeman a few times omw to work in Yellowstone. Loved the area and loved hearing about it's founders history. From working at Many Glacier Hotel I'd have to say Montana is by far the most beautiful state I've seen in the lower 48. Particularly the Many Glacier valley. Robin Williams filmed "What dreams may come" there at Many Glacier Hotel in swiftcurrent lake and was quoted saying "if this ain't God's backyard he lives close by". Couldn't agree more.

Many years ago, driving cross country from Pennsylvania to California, we spent a few days with my husbands friend, Carmen, in Bozeman.

Excellent job by Montana PBS. My 3rd Great Grandfather, Absalom Austin Townsend, was the captain of the Townsend Wagon Train mentioned in the first half of the documentary. I've done a lot of research on the attack that occurred on July 7, 1864 along the Powder River in Wyoming, including three trip diaries from individuals that were among the 400+ people in the wagon train. I believe the director has captured it perfectly. I look at this attack as historically accurate without getting too political, which is a touchy subject. Those in the train were simply trying to get from point A to B, the Lakota were defending their hunting lands. You can make a good case for either side being right, or wrong.

Nothing but greedy white immigrants on their way to help steal more native land. A native people defending their homelands and way of life from a invasive species. The damage and genocide committed by the immigrants and their anchor babies will never be undone. If you know right from wrong, it's simple to see who's in the wrong. The native peoples are the ones who paid, with blood, for the white privilege you all enjoy today.

james f o'hare A few things to ponder before we become too self righteous about American Indians, prospectors, the military and settlers. 1) The Indians were constantly fighting each other for territory. If you have the power, you have the land. 2) The ancestors of today’s Indians were far from the first to inhabit the American continent, how much do we know about the mound people who lived in the Midwest before the Indians? 4) Why was it a terrible thing to try to change the lifestyle of the Indians in the 1800’s but today we do the same thing with even worse results and it’s OK? Example instead of sending kids to regional Indian Schools we educate kids in the reservation where there are no jobs, no hope, with a better that 50% drop out rate, the highest suicide in the country, drug abuse nobody wants to talk about, and no integration into society as a whole?

The Earth was a great place to live in those days, full of space and abundance. Every politician and business person today constantly harps on making our City, Town , State , Province and country a better place for the future, When in fact it just gets worse as they pack in as many bodies as they can to feed an insatiable economy, that just gobbles everything up and make waste. 50 + years back, our way of life was fantastic. Now we could possible be facing a collapse of our civil society as we use and pollute the world that we live in.

When asked why, she said it was a lifelong dream and that camels were her favourite animal probably because she grew up of a camel raising property. She loved her too rel and said everyone should do something hard in your life beefier it is too late and you are too old. So rude the Bozeman trail and go and relive history.

Fantastic! American history is amazing. my biggest amazement is the soldiers, and indians living all those years, passing away in 1909/1912 just amazing the life they experienced, the history made, the making of America.

Great video...I lived in Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley for many years....It was like no place on earth...However, many of us who lived there have been displaced over recent years by excessive development. Where there used to be beautiful cottonwood trees, now concrete and buildings reside... Very sad to see it disappear...This documentary is well researched, and hosted by the descendants of the original people who founded and settled the area.

Yeah, Bozeman was always a beautiful place. The people not so much. Very biased. I remember Bozeman shipping its homeless population to nearby towns and camp sites to avoid having them in their census. It’s also home to numerous California/Washington/Utah transplants that have 0 knowledge or respect for the land. Coming in troves to live “Wild” 🤣 all the while trying to make us change our laws to match where they previously came from 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️The people also have terrible work ethics and habits. Not very many there know the meaning of hard work. It’s hard to do so when mommy and daddy give you everything and a trust fund. Pregnant teens abundant too. Sad really. The Valley Of Flowers was and could have continued to be an amazing place. If not for the ruin brought in with the transplants from out of state.

​@@iiniijewelry Sadly all that you have said are not lies. It's very unfortunate what is happening to not only rural Montana but the city centers that were once beautiful. Now ruined by high traffic and disrespectful newcomers. I understand having ones own values and culture, but don't push it on others. Very frowned upon to do so here in Montana. Even traffic has gotten bad. People drive like others lives have no meaning. Never been in a wreck in Montana until I lived in Bozeman. Was hit 3 times in 2 years. Totaled my car the last time. They ran a red light at 55 in a hurry to get to a meeting. Bent the frame and caved the rear door in where my daughter would normally sit. Luckily (thank the Lord) she was at preschool at the time. all 3 due to out of staters texting, speeding, or running lights. Hopefully this will change.

I need to know about that part of the "Bozeman Trail" that runs between Red Lodge, to Roscoe, then north along the east ridge, and the Tuttle Irrigation Ditch [you can still see the ruts = n-s], then on past the Tuttle Ranch, about five miles N of Roscoe [were I worked my... off, for the grand-folks, for six years, for free, proudly taking soul-sharing care of it all, because I loved it there, and I got to learn awesome things, by-way-of the many signs, about the many folk who had LIVED there long before me, so I felt like the land accepted me, and loved me, and wanted me there... So because I took good care, I was welcome... At least until the Corps took me... That is where I spent, the most awesome summer ever = to nail it with a song by Brian Adams... "The Summer of '69!" Anyway, to get back up out of the East Rosebud Valley, (off of the valley part of the ranch, where a "Bozeman Trail" baby was buried - I know the spot, and the little one should be moved, to a safer place (my step-grandfather sold it to developers, and to others, who are killing it all, so I can say, " I feel extremely native about it... being taken from me too, in the same greeeeeeeedy way!) Not to mention, I'm the valley area of the ranch = the teepee rings, and a gold mine, and a coal shaft, in the west wall / hillside, and the burial butte, to the south, and buffalo wallows, and Bigfoot (not kidding) ... Along with my lower-white-water, clean clear trout fishing river, running along, and then through the ranch, near my gramma's two-story, home build, log home. Anyway, to get back up on the hill, again,... following the ridge north, and about three miles down river, you'd come to the area of what was once an old school-house, near the main bridge, we're my grandmother, and then my mom and her little sisters, rode their horses to school and then back home, for more chores, like me. From there, I'm not sure, about the twists and turns, goingnorth, apart from what probable became the main road. At about 5 miles N from the school-house, there once existed a Fort.... Long gone... into a guy's field, but it was once excavated by archaeologists... So there'd be "paper on it", somewhere... probably Billings... USGS... Historical Society...? The first town you'll come to,... Is only town I'll ever love. It's Absarokee, MT. Wow. My heart's home. Miss it. Hope to get back to hear a Christmas concert, at the highschool, again. You should see that town, as you're driving up into it, from the north end, late at night, on a calm, snowy Christmas Eve, even without more lights. (Unless it's changed, drastically!) = Wow! Thomas K. would love it's inspiration, from right there...! Then? Hope it's somewhat the same. The next town, beyond other stories of the area, is Columbus, MT, on the Yellowstone, we're it's 30ft deep waters, are / were?, so clear, you could still see the bottom Stop on the Columbus bridge, and see for yourself... Risk death, and float down through there, over the 4th, if still allowed. That's the story I'm stuck with....! I confess... Though one can no longer tell... I was once, a cowboy, who once worked along the Bozeman Trail, herding cattle and riding fence... Literally! The upper half of the ranch, beyond the ridge, had the Trail running straight through it, until the main road was work on, to take it out around the west side of the river, and then up over another hill, to stop it from going through the ranch, on the hill, and in the valley, at the only ford in the area. From the ford, everybodied be crossing the ranch. Don't worry; the gravel road was built, after the automobile, for the other route. So all was well. The river would not allow fording, for more that 3 or 4 months, late in each year = from about late August to mid October, when it would start icing up. [I think the Tuttle Ranch was deeded in 1900. I've been told, that Native folk lived there on the ranch, for years... Probably up until their passing, when the thief took over, and ran them off; the same way he did me! I sure wish I could have saved that ranch!] However, now that a thief sold it to a greedier thing than he, I think the county road should be moved, to run right through the middle of it... Up and down the valley (since I learned that no-one is welcome near their Rich-man's turf now, not even me!)... So, I want traffic pandemonium = Trucks and Jake-brakes and cars and whatever noisy thing they can find, to run through there! To all you tourists, take the drive up my old ranch dirt road, for me. Take your time. Stop and gawk at my log barn, that was turned into a log home. (I remember were the milk-cow did her thing, during milking. I should go tell them - kind of a full disclosure - about the cow poop, on the walls, in there fancy new home. Do ya think? Enjoy the trip folks; for me!
