The Dark Truth of the Lewis & Clark Expedition

Місяць тому

Despite being a slave, York enjoyed unprecedented freedom during the Lewis and Clark expedition. Unfortunately, this would not last, and once back in Missouri, York returned to a life of bondage. Unlike the other men of the Corps of Discovery, York was not paid for his services, and William Clark refused to grant him his freedom. What was York’s ultimate fate? Are the rumors true of him returning west and living among the Crow? And what’s it like eating almost nothing but boiled elk meat for months at a time? Also discussed are the Corps of Discovery’s time at Fort Clatsop and their journey east back to the Nez Perce. #wildwest #history #western

i don't mean to harp on it but this channel is incredible. You're not only committed to detail and honesty while being open, but also a gifted orator.

@kennedyrowland3272

This series has been absolutely phenomenal

@MrRogers-hood

I listen to The Casual Criminalist and heard him mention your podcast! I had to comment about it. I listen to you and Simon literally every day. You two help me make it through the workday in a good mood. Thank you for that.

Outstanding attention to detail like always.

@alanleemaxwell831

Simply put, still the ABSOLUTE BEST CHANNEL FOR THIS CONTENT!!!

@Certified_gainster

It’s hard learning these new facts about the people we learned about in school as kids but I’m glad we get details like this as well….

@wj8108

Made my night. Thanks for the hard work, really enjoying it.

@AlmightyRawks

I'm here from the Whistlerverse, been subbed ever since I heard their recommendation. I'm really a newbie when it comes to this particular area of history (knowing the classics better), but your depth, detail, consideration and humor make it one of my favorite channels!

@kravin74

More interesting, better delivery, great voice for story telling, and the added humor is way more entertaining than some channels I've watched with millions of subscribers

Don't know how you popped into my algorithm but I'm sure glad you did. I've always been a huge history buff and I've read all kinds of books but I've been looking for something historical that I can listen to at work. Too many are dry and boring. This fits the bill perfectly.

Love this channel.

I definitely found this channel because of the CC video, and I am enjoying the hell out of it. Really enjoyed the Billy the Kid videos.

@felix144444 14 днів тому

I've literally commented on 5 of Simon's channels asking him that exact question. I see him everywhere

@thelostone6981

History is just as complicated as we are as people….and can just be as easily manipulated by unscrupulous people of all sides and opinions to get people to believe in things that are not necessarily true. Epistemology is a funny thing….

@joshboeck1848 21 день тому

I don't know why I got so excited about hearing Simon give your show a shout out, probably because you two are my favorite UKpostsrs!!! I hope it helps your channel you definitely deserve it.
