On the Warpath with the Shoshone: A Mountain Man's Perspective

- War is hell. I know that sounds cliché but there’s a simple, irrefutable truth in that short yet powerful statement, one that is unchanging through time. Although our modern weapons may not be the same now as they were in the past, the end result is the same. Death, dismemberment, chaos, and pain. Grieving families, survivor guilt, and, sometimes, an elation that borders on the euphoric.
For tribes like the Shoshone, Cheyenne, Blackfeet, and the Crow, war was an unfortunate yet necessary part of life. And for centuries untold these tribes clashed with their enemies on battlegrounds with no names, in skirmishes long forgotten. And the warriors who emerged victorious are likewise lost to history. Well, on today’s episode we’ll take a glimpse behind the curtain. Find out what it was like to accompany the Shoshone into battle, to hear the cries of victory mixed with the agonizing wails of mourning.
This is the fourth installment William T. Hamilton’s My Sixty Years on the Plains, chapter’s 7 and 8 if you’re reading along at home. Also discussed is Hamilton’s comparison between the Shoshone and Cheyenne, his opinion on the bravery of mountain lions, tips on shot placement when hunting any animal, and the most dangerous aspect of bear hunting. #history #wildwest #oldwest

Wooden Leg! Hell yes! I first read that book in my teens and have read it many times since. Good video for history lovers. I've never checked out On the Warpath. I think I used to avoid books about the western caucasian experience--but I am learning the old lesson about two sides to everything.
Great thing to wake up to thanks josh

Always on the lookout for your vids to drop..can't wait to see this one.
Hey congratulations on your new job lol I hope it works out for you. I love your contact always looking forward to new post.
Great episode as always sir! I have a feeling things will continue upward for you, unfortunately I am a bit of a ludite and completely averse to change. I typically put off learning new ways to do things until I am absolutely forced to. I love your work and especially your quick response time, the latter is a rarity on this platform. Good luck in the future and keep doing what you do.
