- In 1834, mountain man Osborne Russell entered the "secluded valley" in Yellowstone. There he met and described a group of "Snake people" who had been nearly uncontacted prior to their meeting. Here is how he describes the meeting in his book "Journal of a Trapper." For text version, click this link: www.frontierlife.net/blog/202...

Incredible journal. It sits on my bedside table. I can't count the number of times I've read it. Now, I just open to a random page and start reading- always entertaining.
It is a real treasure. Thanks for taking a look
Have it too.
If I want entertainment, I'll watch a Hollywood movie. It's more than entertainment to me.
The early trappers, traders and explorers enjoyed a scenic splendor we moderns will hardly, if ever, see. What a beautiful description.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for checking it out!
Still can, just have to look harder.

Go to Yellowstone or a thousand other National Forests and Parks out west and you can walk for days and weeks through the mountains without seeing much sign of civilization. It isn't easy and you have to be in great shape.
@@FrontierLife do you know exactly which Greater Yellowstone river and valley he is talking about?
I suppose it is probably the Madison or Gallatin, but those don't exactly fit what he said.
Very interesting story, this was a very descriptive story of what it was like to be around the frontier in this time. I closed my eyes and envisioned this tale and lost myself in the pictures that filled my mind! Great work!
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it! If you've never read the Osborne Russel Journal, I'd recommend it if you're interested in frontier history. It's very descriptive. Thanks again for checking out the channel.
I’m gettin purdy close to ending my days in some remote place.
Had about enough of this stuff going on.
haha. You're not the only one. Darn few places left. Thanks for checking out the channel.
From one young struggling American to another, I must insist you renew that patience and hold on my friend. You’re sentiment is understood.
Don't let the bastards grind you down.
@@cjthebeesknees as is your own sentiment. The kind that has grown fewer and farther between these days ... making it all the more important to keep being you and sharing words like those. It is Recognized and Appreciated.
EVER>
@@cjthebeesknees I always read post on you tube thinking I missed something, did he say he was young in another post? Anyway kind words. I'm 32 and have been at my wits end for 7 years or so now. Life is tough
I read Journal of a Trapper as a boy, and growing up in the Portneuf Valley, it completely shifted my understanding of my home. I am so greatful of the brave men who made our land what it is today, but it saddens me that i never got to truly experience it in it's primitive glory.
Thanks for this, Frontier Life. Pleasing video for such a relatively brief presentation, (perfect voice-over). Thanks :)
Thanks for checking it out Michael Dean. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The Indians encountered were members of the Sheepeater band of Shoshone, named so for the bighorn sheep being their game of choice, with a relationship comparable to the Plains Indians and the bison.
Thanks for adding that detail. It's probably my favorite part of the Osborne Russell book.
@@FrontierLife My pleasure. This channel is a gem.
@@MetallicaMan76 Thank you, sir. Glad you enjoy it.
I wasn't familiar with the Sheepeater band. Thanks for the reference.
@@michaeldean9338 you wanna look into it further, look up the sheephorn bows they were famous for. Those things shoot faaaaar.
I live in the Madison Valley in south west Montana.. He and Jim Bridger walked through all this area.. Just north about 40 miles Lewis and Clark camped.. and found the headwaters of the Missouri.. Read this book years ago.. need to do it again.
The Sheepeaters lived in the northern part of our valley.. I believe they were related to Shoshone...
Thanks for the comment, David. If you live in southwest Montana, you certainly live in the heart of mountain man country. Lots of history all around you for sure.
Thnxs 4 sharing 🇺🇸
You bet
I grew up a feral child in Southeast Texas, thankfully for my first 12 years public school was my only interaction with anyone since our 50 acres bordered tens of thousands
Dude if your folks had 50 aces in South East Texas 409 you grew up rich. Go tell your feral child bs to the trailer park kids in North vidor
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for checking it out.
What a wonderful story and a wonderful adventure.
Thanks, Stephanie. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great book! I recommend it 👌
Agreed! That entry was one of the ones that stood out to me the most. Glad you enjoyed it
Oh, you must read the whole Journal! Excellent Narration.
Thank you, and yes, it is a great journal!
Cool stories, cool channel
I can subscribe to that
Thanks, Chente. All the stories are ours, I just hope to share them.
I loved his journal.
Read the book twice loved it so much I am glad that the journal was found and finally published
Thanks for the comment, William. It's about the best mountain man source out there. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.
It's a thrill to stand at or near the places he describes. Fortunately many of them are mostly unchanged. Cheap thrills for an amateur historian!
You bet. One of the fun things about this point in history is that in certain places you really can see things more or less how they were. It's also a great way to learn history!
Very cool!
Thanks, Mel!
Very interesting. Thinking about launching a story series on my own channel.
Good luck to you. Are you a writer, or do you plan on featuring other author's work?
@@FrontierLife Maybe primary and secondary sources, or accounts written by historians. Not my own work, I'm not that good. Haha.
@@FrontierTradingCompany haha. Who knows, you might surprise yourself. Have you ever read Betty Zane? Not sure it fits what you are wanting, but it is a great book that focuses on the time period you seem most interested in.
The "secluded Valley" is present day Lamar River Valley, in today's Yellowstone National Park.
They used the dogs as walking pockets basically. 🤣
In our day and age, it's hard to conceptualize not knowing what areas 100 miles away look like.
Yes, everything is " explained" however they used to live in a magic world....
Can someone give me the name of the book so I can look for it on audible...also if you like frontier and native American books "Empire of the Summer Moon" is a FASCINATING read!
Book is Journal of a Trapper by Osborne Russell. Also, I've read the Empire of the Summer Moon and it is a great read. Thanks for watching.
These people have always intrigued me. Even though other Native people and even their relations adapted the horse into their culture, they never did and for good reason. They didnt leave the mountains but inhabited them year round and horses would not make it as was stated in Russell's account. It is also evident in the points Russell mentions. By this time most Native people of the region had discarded using obsidian points and traded and raided for steel points. These people relied on what they got from the mountains. They also still maintained semi permanent camps and utilized the more permanent pole and brush "Wickiups" rather than mobile shelter. They were considered Sacred people by their own relations who had adapted to more "Plains Culture". Unfortunately, the majority were wiped out by smallpox and those who survived were forced to relocate with relatives off the mountain. Some still tried to maintain their mountain culture but were later forced out, when the region became a National Park.
They've always intrigued me as well. For me, it's because it taught me just how much Native life had changed by even the early 1830s and I hope others can get the same benefits. I appreciate you sharing what you know about that band. I didn't realize they were considered sacred by their own relations. Thanks again.
"Life high up there was only "new" to the foreign colonists. To those locals who were already here it is as old as time. Beautiful stories from wonder filled times."
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it.
Think of how many parking lots and McDonald's now fill what was once great beautiful scenic areas
Always feels good to get to those places where there AREN'T any parking lots and McD's!
Oh the good old days!
👍👍
What’s about sasquatch there?
I'm 60 trapped as a kid still keep traps for hard times. I shoot a recurve bow, throw knives an axes in back yard and practice with grandkids on bag and ground with Tae Kwon do and jujitsu I don't care whT happens.ride horses ect.
All sounds like a great way to kill some time!
Laura tae Keon do sucks get them in Muay Thai
It's a shame that all encounters with the first people's of this land never went as well
✌🏻👊
Incredibile New World in perfect balance with Mother Nature.God Save America 🇺🇸
Only "new" to the colonists. To those that were already here it is as old as time.
@@joeschmoe8320 both you and bez, are perfect examples of people who are ignorant. God did not save America, he is conductively corroding it's people. Secondly, most of these tribes believe they were there for all of time, even the white man migrated to where he's at. Think about it, who says that. Rhetorical questions and answers are all white people know.
@@joeschmoe8320, about 15000 years ago
Was in perfect balance until the whites got there and it wasn't called America then
oh oh voices of the past except an American dude with an American accent! Very excellent, and fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh no this is going to be upsetting.
I dont not like the way we currently live either its just stupid. Being Teutonic we lived identical to the of the Natives, we mostly had just tribes till almost the 1890 when Germany because a country. The majority of our males were just warriors either for there local chief or as a mercenary.... It pisses me off when they just say white because we are all proud of our people how dare you try to call me an Italian or French? No German or Italian every get mistaken for one another........ French were originally Franks so they have Teuton .... But still worlds apart.
Indigenous Europeans get no respect from Social Justice Warriors! They think all Europeans are the same too.
I once saw how Germans celebrated their ancient culture dressing like native Americans. Natives were happy saying that is doesn’t matter where you’re from, if your from the forest, highlands and jingles you’ll have the same culture, clothing etc.
Hippies used to say that ancient celts and germanic tribes lived in forest and respected earth like natives so they literally were Tarzan. But modern white people (all people “westernized”) don’t like to hear it.
So not unencounted
"Nearly Uncontacted". Their metal tools consisted of a single knife in the entire group. Besides for that, it sounds like they were still living in the Stone Age.
:D
Flue
We all want to hear a true story about how california natives had an alphabet and built city's with beautiful architecture
Joe lol
Not to your knowledge
Nearly uncontacted is the same as being nearly a virgin !
Ain’t this some bullshit.
Put that Dane Calloway crap to rest
Afrocentric mythology that appeals to the uneducated and broken cultured.
