I would’ve loved to of watched this video, but all the stupid arrows on the thumbnail, no thank you. Stop with the stupid arrows everybody please,

Canby Oregon was named in honor of General Canby, the only United States General to be killed in the Indian Wars. The apple gates were con artists and pieces of shit due to their deception when lying about the quality of their shortcut. Applegate's then required the pioneers help build the trail that wasn't cleared for travelers. Too far in to turn back, they had to make the best of it. Sam Barlow cut the Toll Gate Road south of Mt. Hood for an easier route than north on the Columbia River as Lewis and Clark traveled.

My father took my brother and myself to the lava beds in Oregon and told us of Captain Jack and the basic history. He would say things like, "Captain Jack was a bad mother sucker". He would also say, don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff. I hope they have met in the afterworld.

Great story , it makes me long for bygone days

Douche. No other word for this dude

I remember reading something about L&C participating in some kind of orgies with at least one Indian tribe. I believe it said something about this being the begining of some of the men's life long battle with Venereal desiese. It also hinted at a red hared Indian that was supposedly offspring of one of the men. That would be quite the video.

I think,, the government,, wanted reasons,, to fight,, hence ,, Bozeman trail illogic,, Indian aggression was needed to justify , their inhumane treatment and kand grabs

History stink finger! I love it!

Good story

Very odd that this video randomly popped up in my feed as I am reading a book about this exact expedition right now. I mean this exact situation. Bizarre.

I'm enjoying your videos. You have a great way of telling history. One minor thing I'd like to point out is your pronounciation of "Chinook". It should sound like "shinook". I'm from Montana and we have a town named Chinook and we have chinook winds. Thanks for all of your efforts!

he was buried in the cemetary near charette mo. years later the cemetary was destroyed by railroad construction and scattered and lost. our family first settled in virginia and he made his way to kentucky. thanks for your effort to give a mostly no bs story of john colter... one of the best ive ever heard

The trapdoor Springfield carbine likely fired the new 45-70 cartridge. If not it was the older 50-70 cartridge. At the time the 45-70 was adopted as a long range cartridge. The strategy being to not let the natives get close. A standoff battle

👍

Thats one fine lip pelt

I love your content. I listen to it while I work. Anyone who disses you about mispronounced words can kiss your ass. I like your mountain man stuff.

As an Australian little boy , was born in 1957, watching all the cowboy show ie The Rifleman which l still love now 66yrs old watch movies of Caster the hero. Now after serving 20 yrs in the Australian Military and a Veteran and love history and have read both sides of yes his bad no his good. I have served with people like him and yes unfortunately his BIG head got the best of him and HE KILLED his men at that battle. So sad , may they all R.I.P

It would really pay to be a great long-distance runner back then if you were in Marathon shape and the people chasing you were on foot you could get away every time

Also the saying your no daisy comes from the fact that a daisy is an extremely tough plant and can grow anywhere also pushing up daisies

Bass himself was our source for believing he fought for the south in this capacity. If you read Black Gun Silver Star this is mentioned in an interview w Reeves for a local paper. Primary Sources!

Also known as hackberry its a type of wild blueberry

He's doing it with his horse!

Shit what about dirty steve?

Man I Don't know anybody that sounds like Danny McBride except Danny McBride. Prove me wrong, I never miss.

Damn you sound like Danny McBride 😂😂

Awesome bro, as always...

Love your channel man ❤

He was a Green Ass Trapper that Murdered two Men.

I live near Hico Texas and I want Brushy Bill to actually be the kid but I just don’t see this being the case.

Fun fact about beavers; the excretion of a beaver’s anal glands has been used for hundreds of years as a vanilla flavoring. No, seriously. Look it up! So Mr Colter may have had some good flavoring and not just good beaver pelts.

Hey man can you do an episode on Pancho Villa?

Napoleon needed fast cash. He sold a territory he had no interest, or control over

well done as always bloody beaver! lol

Love this channel.

Man,, now I'm going back to watch some old westerns,, how exciting,, I thought I was the only one to use that,,, " did ya see the size of that chicken" lol-/ sorry other video-- just thought of it,, as I laugh,, eeeeeeeey ha

Nicely done. Thanks

Hey this may be a stupid question, but i got to thinking. With all the beaver that was around at the time, i wonder if the water was more dangerous to drink than it is now? What do you think?

A man like that would most likely modify everything he used. I'm thinking the 54 cal ball would be appealing.

That was good. Colter was the OG Mountain Man.

Does anyone else say the “Hee Yah” part in the intro or is it just me?

Not even close to the first but continue.

One of my distant grandfather's happens to be John Shields the blacksmith for the corps of discovery. It's my understanding that he and Daniel Boone were good friends

I admire your research of these manifold subjects, that takes real commitment

I did a deep dive on ansestry when my dad told me i was related to John Wesley Hardin.. and its true he is related on my dads moms side.. she was a hardin by birth. Her name was Lola Hardin before she married my grandpa. The mean gene is a real thing and its very thick in my family. My cousin was ken rex mcelroy from skidmore mo. On my grandmas side the hardin side i believe.. the whole town killed him then covered it up. But Hardin is on my family tree.

Young was horrible

SUCK IT CHARLIE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

I'm guessing this is where the scene in the movie came from with Heston hiding in the beaver lodge

Sinjan is a very common British pronunciation truncation of “St. John” St+John = “sinjin”, because British people don’t speak English. Because of their Austin Powers teeth. Because America is better… though ‘Merica is slipping quick…

Just finished re-reading ‘Undaunted Courage’ by Ambrose and as an old Jarhead with a degree in early American history, I ALWAYS find your podcasts entertaining and informative. Great work-as always brother. 👍🏼🫡
