According to all of the pronunciation guides that I checked on the internet, they pronouce it as rah-tone, not ratton. Other than that small point, I really enjoyed your summary of the Santa Fe trail.

I wonder why our education system fails to teach these store to young people. All they here is how we mistreated the Indians.

I was in sixth grade ... Lynd Public Schools, Lyon County, Minnesota (1965-1966). Had a a class about Minnesota history.

Well done. Informative and interesting.

I was raised in a little town called Slayton by lake shetek was taught this in school

I love listening to The writer, Stan Jones, Vaughan Monroe, Burl Ives versions of this great song. And most only know it as a Johnny Cash tune.

1862 Dakota conflict.

I agree 100%. CARRINGTON was made a scapegoat. It was documented by witness's in front. That Fetterman/Brown were told specifically not to engage the Indians & they disobeyed orders. Their Civil War experience plus arrogance was their undoing as the Sioux/Cheyenne did not fight like Johnny Reb. Unfortunately...it was Fetterman 's Cavalry officer Grummond who broke ranks chased the Indians, got surrounded & then Fetterman had to save his butt so it was Grummond who got the entire 80 men killed. RIP!

What ever happened to George Reed?

We need not forget the Alamo .

Mesas are covered by Basalt, an Iron rich stone, where lightnings frequent strikes. Cattle or sheep flocks are often killed by lightning. One ancestor of mine lost his whole sheep.

Hark The Lord has blessed this land and the origin of this song knew it.

I grew up in Sheridan, WY in the 70's and 80's. My dad and I took a series of lectures and field trips led by a local historian named Mark Badgett. He walked the Bozeman Trail multiple times. One of our field trips was to Fort Phil Kearney and another was The Fetterman Massacre location. We did a few others as well but those stood out. Excellent video.

I grew up 6 miles north of Fort Ridgely. My ancestors settled that area and were involved protecting the farms and settlers in and around Fort Ridgely. Their names are on a monument there to this day. Thank you so much for covering these battles. Your narrative sounds accurate to what I have been told all my life.

This video offers more historical context to a tragic event. However, it leaves out some very important details. Black Kettle flew a white flag indicating peaceful intent on the morning of the attack. The video also omitted the killing of an unarmed chief - Lean Bear which led to the murders of the Hungate family in response.

Sir, thank you for this very interesting and informative presentation. Regarding the Massa. I have always wondered about the inspiration behind the sing Ghost riders in the sky. After hearing this legend, it makes more sense.

My family made that trip several times with the last being an 1851 and the diary I have tells a fascinating story of the power of young women to hold together the group of travelers

These narrations are great but I think that when mention is made of Indian captives, which were always women and children, the names of those captives should be given. For instance, at Sand Creek Black Kettle's village held Laura Roper who was about 16-17 years old. With Laura were Ambrose Asher, Danny Marble and Isabel Eubanks 7 or 8 and 4-5 years old respectively. Laura was subjected to gang rape and violent physical abuse by the squaws. Amazingly, she survived and lived quite a while. All of these captives were eventually returrned by Danny Marble died shortly after his return to authorities, likely from thyphoid fever. These same Cheyenne had only recently murdered, scalped and dismembered members of the Hungate family. These few named are only a drop in the bucket of innocent and typically unarmed people who were murdered by the Cheyenne and other plains tribes. People need to understand these are the typies of atrocities that inspired men like Chivington and later Custer, under Sheridan and Sherman, to do all they could, to decimate indian villages.

Great videos..

Thats. Trouble. With. Big. Countries. Everone. Wants a. Piece. Of it. Whites. And indians. Sqouble. Over it. Costing great loss of life !

I work less than 5 mins from the Alamo actually

The. Apache last of hold outs. 1930s

2:34 So these are real photos of him he literally let them take two different photos of him then turned around and betrayed them? Crazy story.

And if you think there was equivalence, you are wrong .

Their barbarities were too awfull to describe then and still are to this day .

There never was a railroad in Santa Fe.

total badass

😅😅😂😂😂

I've visited the Alamo many times and heard the stroies. Of course I have not seen anthing out ofthe ordinary. You may like the folowing, About 5 years ago I visited the Mexican History Museum which to Americans is the Halls of Montezuma. In a room called "The Alamo" is a tall glass case which held the flag of the New Orleans Grays, 2 pistols, 2 long guns and a pennant of black, red and white boarder. In the center is the Skull and Cross bones. On a wood sled is a small cannon, (2lb?) Across the room is the small box holding Santa Anna's pistols and shoulder boards. In the far end there is the origional 1824 Mexican Constitution. No where in the museum is a picture of Santa Anna. One mone long wall are depictions of all the Mexican Heros but Santa Anna is not among them.

Skip the music

John Wayne’s ghost BULLSHIT!

Interesting reference, when opponents of the Texas annexation from Mexico to the United States was occuring, members and politicians from the northern free states like Massachusetts and Maine states that of the main justifications for the annexation and war with Mexico, many were falsehoods and fabrications to instigate a war as a defensive part when it wasn’t, then quoted LA SALLES Voyages as of the claims of the Texans to territory but it was a known falsehood to justify their claim to Texas and their right to take it from Mexico. The exact quote is here “ Set up rights which are impossible to sustain in a serious discussion, and to bring forward ridiculously pretensions, founded upon historical facts that are admitted by nobody, such as LASALLES VOYAGES, now known to be a falsehood, but which serves as a point for their claim to Texas.”

“I spent New Year’s day on the battle ground counting dead Indians. There were not as many killed as was reported. There was not more than one hundred and thirty killed, but most of them were women and children and all of them scalped.” - Silas Soule Jan. 8, 1865 I respect the dedication for working on making a comprehensive video but it seems immensely one sided with the evidence or lack there of included in the video. That was a first hand account of a man who would later testify. Yes different regiments claimed different numbers of casualties and different percentages of women and children, but you seem to nullify the fact that almost all testimonies concluded that women and children were an integral number of the dead.

Central America is another place. This is called the Great Plains sometimes.

I want to be like pee wee Herman

Shout out to my ancestors

This is real history!

A smart soldier (Custer) would have learned from Fedderman

one of those men killed that first day at the lower agency was my great-great grandfathers older brother. According to an interview my GG-grandfather did in a 1930 newspaper article, he was beheaded and his head placed on a tree stump just outside of the agency.

My 2-greats grandmother was 4 yrs old in 1862. She lived in Cambria MN, just south of New Ulm. Her obituary started that she his in a swamp while the attacks were going on.

Thank you Jesus I wasnt alive then.

Outstanding.

I have seen some commentators liken the story to the pagan European myth of the Wild Hunt.
