Satanta's Last Flight | Kiowa
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Kiowa Chief Satanta - known as the great orator - was an influential leader of his people and participant in both battles of Adobe Walls. Arrested by Custer. Very close to killing General Sherman. Eventually tried for murder - found guilty - and sentenced to prison, Satanta allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the 2nd floor of a Huntsville Penitentiary Hospital. Or at least that’s how the story goes. #wildwest #history #nativeamerican

Satanta is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Thank you for mentioning that many of his descendants don't believe he committed suicide. I don't believe he would give up the fight! He did not want his people to be forced onto reservations.
His Grandson died a year before I was born in 1973. So yes his great grandchildren are still living😊 Because of him and my other Ancestors some of them also Kiowa War Chiefs I exist. 🙏🪶 Thank you Spirit!
Thanks for the comment, Lisha! That's pretty cool.
@@WildWestExtravaganza you did a great job telling his story😊 with respect to the Kiowas. Thank you
The man, the myth, the legend has posted once again! Edit: you deserve every view and download you get man. You’re by far my favorite podcaster/podcast.
Wow, thanks
@@WildWestExtravaganza thank you for all the info and entertainment 🤠
Yet another good un! I know you've said before that you didn't want to cover the more well known subjects such as the James gang, Billy the kid, Butch and Sundance, etc.. and that you wanted to instead highlight the more obscure, less known figures of the old west but I'd wager that I'm not alone when I say that I'd love to hear your take on the more popular ones.
Dude! This guy as a badass!
We really should talk more about both the Native, and Black heroes (and villens) as mutch as we know about White peoples heros (and villens).
I was never enthusiastic about the history of the old west u til I found the stories on this channel.
You are like the new Paul Harvey. Getting the rest of the story, with an entertaining bow on the box.
I managed to write a how-to book a few years ago and it sold ij 17 countries. Even sold in the Shetland Islands, and I gave it free to a woman's shelter in Thailand.
HELL YEAH! I wasn't expecting a post until January! Great vid sir. EDIT: I can not be the only one wanting to read some short stories from Wild West Extravaganza, or several short stories.. or even just listen to him read them himself. You must do some fiction writing, I will buy it!
That's a great idea. I'd help with the research.
You ever see Batman Begins!? “A two story fall won’t kill a person.” Thanks for your content. I am a descendent of this man. Kiowas were a very small but mighty tribe, thanks for sharing🙏👍
I'm also a descendent of Satanta. Some of the other Kiowa War Chiefs as well. Many Kiowas are related due to families marrying into other families
Awesome! Glad to meet you, my dad was born and raised in Carnage.His grandma, Antoine, was raised by his son. “Stories from Saddle Mountain,” my uncle Raymond also shared some of his experiences as well in that book.
@@CoiKickapoo my great great grandfather was married to Ahtoneah, Satanta's daughter. It was a 2nd marriage for both of them.
How cool, HAW!
Woooohoooo! Christmas is now complete with an early gift from Kid bloody beaver! Thanks for the story brother.
Satanta?
Hardcore.
Full Metal Christmas!
Good shit bro. Thank you for posting this good history we can’t let it die!!
Thank you Joshua.
These were good words to hear.
At the right moment.
Gracias
They say his ghost still wanders the Walls Prison Unit. His death helped inspire Blue Duck’s death in Lonesome Dove. Enjoy your podcasts. Thanks for doing them.
Thank you
Whats crazier...a warriors battle cry or a newborns war cry 😅. 2024 and your speech still hits hard man. You've got heart. Why I love your podcast. One day I'll buy you that rifle when i finish my OSHA training dude. Mark my word.
Interesting sidenote on the supply wagons Satanta massacred, it was the freighting company started by the free black man Britt Johnson who was present and killed after being overwhelmed by the Kiowa. Britt Johnson was famous prior because his family was abducted by Kiowa and Comanche years early during the Elm Creek raid. His son was killed in the raid but his wife and two daughters were taken captive by the Kiowa along with others. Britt then proceeded to track down his family and eventually freeing them and the other captives making him a hero to his fellow Texans. The story of Britt might sound familiar since it was the basis of John Ford's classic film "The Searchers" but Johnson is replaced by a white man played by John Wayne in probably his best performance. Later they made two made for TV movies called "Black Fox" but in typical Hollywood fashion they distorted the actual events to fit a narrative... in the movie none of Britt's family is killed while he befriends a Kiowa when it actuality it was a Comanche who helped him get access to the families taken captive
Good info! Episode on Britt coming very soon.
@@WildWestExtravaganza The Modoc chief Captain Jack would also make for a great episode
I believe a future general was there and witnessed it as well. At least the aftermath
In glad you mentioned the bugle. Great follow up.
There's a picture of Satanta in army regalia with the bugle he used. Likely stolen from a soldier he scalped. Satanta was my 3rd Great Grandfather 🥰 He's wearing his Medicine Lodge Peace medal with the bugle strap visible to his side
@@lishamarie2752 I think I saw that picture. What Great heritage.
Be proud!!
@@swhip897 Thank you! I do feel very honored. I am the Great Granddaughter and Great Niece of other Kiowa War Chiefs as well😊❤🪶
I just discovered this recently and still in awe
Loved the story of Luther James Dorsey, and the Buffalo Soldiers!
Respect my brother. We really appreciate you.
Kiowa pride!!!
Good to have ya back Josh! This short episode helped me drive through some of Oklahoma without realizing I was in Oklahoma. I appreciate that!
Thank you, I really enjoyed the story telling and especially the time line. I knew my Great Grandfather who knew his Grandfather who told him stories about when Neapolitan ruled where he lived; I will tell my great grandson who will hear those stories only two people removed from the original teller. He could live well into the 22nd century and tell those same stories to his great grand children. It's not that far from most of American history.
Very true!
Thank you so much Josh!!
A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Another great story, very much appreciated! So much to learn from the old west still. Being Oglala, I enjoy hearing the stories of the old ones. Covid took a lot of elders. Took there stories. Thank u
Awesome Christmas present! Thank you so much! It was great to hear your voice again and also hearing the little one was a very pleasant interruption. Can't wait to hear more!
I am always excited to see another episode, sir. I appreciate you, and have a great New Year.
The Warren Wagon Train fight or massacre took place near Graham Texas. Not too far from Fort Richardson near Jacksboro Texas northeast of Ft. Worth. There is an excellent book titled The Warren Wagon Train Massacre.
Great guitar player,Saw him in concert
I actually did have to edit out all the times I actually said "Santana"!
Man, you're a great narrator, story teller, whatever you want to call it. I'm going to do a sit down with a Texas historian with a Q&A section if anyone has anything they'd like to ask
Glad to have ya posting again!
Thanks!
Its good to hear you again :)
Another great video. Happy Holidays to Fur Trappin, Beaver Snatchin Josh and the rest of your family.
Sir please do a story on Tom Mcarty of western colo, eastern Utah. He was in fact the one who butch Cassidy learned much from inc the horse relay escape. His nephew and brother were killed at delta Co when Tom and them attempted the bank there. But he robbed many banks etc. And kept his identity fairly well concealed.
I stumbled across you one night working in Afghanistan awesome shows keep it up
Again a great one! Santana was a badass and a great man too, a bit like Custer. I don't dare to write more openly...Burt my heart on Wounded Knee had all this things listed, not really fair I think but I believe in the suicide theory and yeah I read McMurtry as well... Thank you for that special content and be blessed with your baby girl from Northern Germany Ludwig.
@@ludwigderzanker9767 "Satan" was literally in his name..... not a good guy

This is excellent--excellent. Mari Sandoz would dig this (she wrote "Crazy Horse: Strange Man of the Oglalas," as you probably know). That you chronicle this story is fun and killer and a perfect way to explore American history and Native American history. Well done.
Wow thank you
Merry Christmas from Christmas Valley Oregon
This is the 2nd video I've watched by you, being the 1st was about one of my favorite characters "Al Swearengen" and I was entertained the whole time!! You were thorough with you information and I appreciated the parts were you j8st throw your opinion in or what you think might've happend or how it went. Great job man!! I subscribed for sure !!! Great job!!
Thanks Daniel!
Good video man
Please do something on Satank, a cousin of my grandmother was present when he was killed. He was a Kiowa leader who would sometimes masquerade as a Caddo chief named Slow Bear to find out what white men were up to.
I will
Satank was with Satanta as they became the first Native Anericans tried for murder during a Massacre. It was on a transport to Jacksboro, Texas that Satank was killed.
I'm still researching to find out who all I'm related to but Satanta was my 3rd Great Grandfather. I'm also related to other Kiowa War Chiefs. Many Kiowas are related due to marriages between different families.
Interesting, good to have you back
You outdid yourself with that intro, Beaver Eatin' Josh. Nice job, bud.
Great to hear from you looking forward to your upcoming shows. Marry Christmas
Brother great to hear your voice, but most especially that little lady in the background. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Your massage was especially meaningful.
Merry Christmas from Garner Iowa!
Thank you Mr Danny Mcbri.. err I mean Josh hehe kidding. Love these stories of the old west past and the format that you use to tell them. Thank you sir.
Thank you for listening
Hell yeah brother. I though to vid got ya. Thanks!
Thanks
There's a town not too far from me named after chief Satanta.
I would love to visit it. I would also like to make a trip to visit my Ancestors grave sites. Satanta is my 3rd Great Grandfather. I found out he's buried close to Geronimo
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Good stuff
love your videos, best wishes to you and yours in the new year
Jesse had a son in Mississippi who was a dog fighter, Frank worked at a restaurant to be close to his nephew
Howdy!
Howdy pard. Didn't reckon I'd see you again round these parts. Figured you'd moved on to greener pastures.
I was curious didn't you have a video on Quanah Parker? Did you take it down?
It's on patreon
@@WildWestExtravaganza oh darn
Just subscribed... thanks for the content I'll pay you in thumbs up
Thanks!
It was interesting
Nice my great great great grandpa .
Very cool
You wouldnt want him pounding on your door when there was a bright full moon
I wouldn't want him for an enemy
You’re baby girl was right on queue with the high notes….so cute-made me laugh and remember those days…😂
I just gave my daughter away at her wedding last Friday. She’ll be 26 this year, but I still see her as a baby.
Hold on to every sound, movement, wink, smile and giggle brother-time flies. But I don’t have to tell you that. You seem like you have the same approach to your daughter as I did/do with mine. I’m sure you are and will be a fantastic father.
Congrats to your daughter and her big day
Have you ever heard the book “bad medicine and good: tales of the Kiowa” by Wilbur sturtevant nye ?
No, I haven't. Any good?
It is. It’s stories covering a range of Kiowa history from the 1700’s to the New Deal, having been gathered by Wilbur from the Kiowa and from the notes of captain Hugh l. Scott who was at fort sill in the 1890s
@@stevenfrench7940 Thanks for the book mention. I am currently doing a lot of research to find out more. I recently found out Satanta is my 3rd Great Grandfather and I'm also the Great Granddaughter of other Kiowa War Chiefs😳 so proud to be Kiowa✊🪶❤
Many Kiowas are related by marriage to other Kiowas but I'm amazed at just how many Chiefs I'm related to. I just found out I'm related to Chief Huntinghorse twice due to marriages🤣
Chief TwoHatchet is my 2nd Great Grandfather and Chief Stumblingbear is my 3rd Great Uncle
@@lishamarie2752 my 3rd great grandma was mrs goombi also known as Millie durgan/durkan
@@stevenfrench7940 History is wild. I'm sorry to hear that your Ancestor was taken so young as a captive but you and I are related I'm sure
good.job.man.good.grammer.even.a.guy!
You kinda sound like steve rinella. Say "Blueberry Bear Fat" 10 times and i bet you'll nail an impression. hahaha
Yo, ive been binging your channel while i nurse this broke toe. o7 Salute my friend. You have fantastic content.
Love me some meateater
Bass Reeves…?
Tough dude
Not a swamp
Compared to Kiowa territory it sure is. Hot, humid, murky water. And literal swamps.
I feel like I have said this before....oh well.... You sound almost identical to the legendary stand up comic, Shane Gillis. Unless you are him......
I'm not but I love me some Gilly & Keeves!!!
Welcome back !
Thanks!
