Great job Have you heard much of David Thompson the Canadian greatest survivor ever no joke. A great story deserves a movie Thanks for your service and hard work! ❤
Yes!! A new podcast, going to definitely listen to this on the way back home to NC from Penn State with my son and his girlfriend. Thanks Josh for all the research you do to be able to share with us the US history we might not have know about. Jim Bridger is my hero along with Hugh Glass. Keep up the awesome work bro!!
@@WildWestExtravaganza they are both college students so I’m sure it’s nothing they haven’t heard plus it’s the honest history and not to mention that my son loves history as I do. We are all adults
I spent time gold prospecting the Rogue valley and N California and I spent so much time around camp imagining natives and pioneers moving about the landscape. Awesome episode.
I grew up in Northern California and have visited this stronghold many times. It truly is the perfect defense position as it even butts up to a freshwater lake where they fished and got water from. there are still circular Rock piles where the Indians took potshots at the army and there are divots in the pumice where the army shot back. truly an amazing place and amazing piece of American history
I found enjoyment in listening to someone skilled in story telling. It was: The Modoc War: Captain Jack vs U.S. Army COMPILATION A more skillfully crafted and told tail of facts I have never herd until now. The story of Captain Jack and his indigenous band of brothers. In particular is the description of First Sargent Thomas Kelly. "....- and look you in the eye & gut you like a fish". BRAVO !!! High Regards to the narrator !
@@WildWestExtravaganza I love history and the way you tell it and the humor you bring only adds to it. I wish they taught US history the way you talk about. By the way, my family has been here since 1618 and I’m a direct descendent of Pocahontas sister and my ancestors on my grandma on my moms side were Horn’s.
Well, it seems Captain Jack and the Modoc's is the epitome of the saying, It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. This is California history that I had no knowledge of and it's fascinating and horrific. A sad state of affairs from both sides of Manifest Destiny. Thanks, Josh, another great people's profile podcast.
I’m so excited for this! I grew up visiting my grandparents on Knapp street in Yreka and they would read me the book “ captain Jack” and even taking me to the lava fields where it all took place and touring the stronghold. Thanks for doing this, it’s the second video of yours and I love your channel! I hope you have one on Ishi, I grew up a stones throw from where he came out of the wild and was found in a butchers barn
My family and I are from the Klamath Yreka area. I remember a story that Capitan Jacks head was cut off and put in a jar that sat at a bar in Sacramento for another 50 years.
Live and been to all the places you talked about. The lava beds are something to see. Ft Klamath where Capt Jack was hung. One of the few battles where a US General was killed. Glad you’re telling the story.
Having lived most of the last 48 years in far Northern California, I especially enjoyed this episode.As always,well researched,and great presentation. Spot on about state of California's official policy to wipe out the original Native population.Huge amount of $ spent on bounties for Indian scalps. In the late 1820's,and'30's,American fur traders,like Jedidiah Smith,and Ewing Young,had traversed California into Oregon and the Columbia river.Later you mentioned Michel Laframbois ,one of the Hudson Bay Co. partisans.Michel rose through the ranks,and at one time had lead trapping parties numerous time,so that he knew Sounthern Oregon,and Northern California,better than any man alive.
Another amazing video thank you for taking the time to make these. Would love to see a future video about the alleged meeting between Billy the Kid and “Mr. Howard from Tennessee.”😉 (only if there’s enough info about the topic and if you didn’t already make one) all the best!
You must not of seen civil war pictures of the huge Mortars that were used by both sides during the American Civil War. They even had them mounted on rail cars to be easier moved into position.
Neither native nor whites made any effort to understand the culture of the others. Modoc War is an almost perfect case study in cultural conflict. Sad that we didn’t buy the Lost River property for Jacks band and not demanded he return to the Klamath Reservation and trouble with distance bands of Modoc. But the government is great at driving the cost of everything extremely expensive and complicated 😢. This whole situation is just so sad and preventable but to save a little we spend alot😢
Always trust Josh, except about Oklahoma. 😗 It's beautiful here on Grand Lake. Chuck Wapipa was a good friend from Quapaw. It's now chat hills left over from the zinc mining industry. Pitcher, a nearby town was evacuated due toxic levels in water. This old man appreciates your stuff. Hug the wife, kiss the baby.
Like it or not, right or wrong, this was time when people took care of themselves and didn't wait for "big daddy government" to come and save them. Both on the native and white sides. Then when the government DOES step in, creates all sorts of problems for EVERYBODY.
I figure them white and black men didn't start out thinking every tribe would try taking your hair across the country, wild times when the indigenous were peaceful
I can understand the Modoc killing anyone that was try to kill people trying to take there land and killing there people . I can understand right thinking he was justified for killing Modoc for killing settlers . This hole thing about race killing is crazy . I can definitely agree with “ captain Jack“ and others like scar face Charlie .
I have spent many days hiking around the lava beds. I've walked down the sand wash. The land is very interesting it's like a maze. It's funny whenever the native people, my ancestors. Won a confrontation it was called a massacre. However when the calvary won, it was called a battle.
@@chipewwa1 Wounded knee, sand creek, Klamath lake, bloody island. I even mention one on this episode, the Wright Massacre. I think it depends on your perspective. Someone recently left a very similar comment here, only they were saying the exact opposite that when whites won it was called a massacre and when the indians won it was called a battle. Both sides did plenty of massacering, for sure. And the Native Americans sadly got the worst of it.
@@WildWestExtravaganza what is truly amazing to me is that the native people. Weren't American citizens until June sixth nineteen twenty four. Which means a lot of the code talkers in WWII. Were born non American citizens. Yet they chose to help a government. That basically despised them. When they were done in WWII. They were put back on their reservations. Until the equal rights amendment in 1964. Allowing native's to be off of their reservations.
Everyone looks down on the men who fought an killed native American tribes in the early years of America. Not all but a solid proportion of the Indians spread out across the Americas were savage warriors no concept of of being gentlemen during warfare. Wrong was done on both sides.
Another compilation for those of you who missed the three-part series last year.
Yeeeehaaaaa 🐎🐎🐎 here we go again with the infamous "Jolly Foul-mouthed Josh"!!

@1:30:19 Was that a quote from Jefferson Davis?
Not that I’m aware of
Nice lava beds are a bad ass fortress can't wire to see what josh dug up.
You must not of seen civil war pictures of the huge Mortars that were used by both sides during the American Civil War. They even had them mounted on rail cars to be easier moved into position.
I guess not
Those haircuts

Nice suprise.

Hey hey Captan Jack!
For the record its klamath not pronounced claymath. I live there.
Noted
Kintpuash! 🐎🏹
My husband is Modoc , He is a direct descendant of Captain Jack. So much history, so much loss .
New language I reckon

I figure them white and black men didn't start out thinking every tribe would try taking your hair across the country, wild times when the indigenous were peaceful
Those names sounded like a gathering of the Vagos mc.
I can understand the Modoc killing anyone that was try to kill people trying to take there land and killing there people . I can understand right thinking he was justified for killing Modoc for killing settlers . This hole thing about race killing is crazy . I can definitely agree with “ captain Jack“ and others like scar face Charlie .
So it's true that Scarface said, & I quote, "Say hello to my little friend!"?
Of course
I’m from Texas as well
Klamath is pronounced Clam math,
And Willamette is pronounced Will Am Met.
It weren’t lol
Really? You used Ashland and not Medford? Medford is by far the biggest, most recognizable city in the area.
Yes, I did that on purpose to anger you
