Good video, but waaaay too busy with sound effects. Also they are painfully loud. You dont have to have swooshes and bings every sentence- have faith that your content will hold your audiences attention without needless bings and bongs
Good content, but those sound effects are terrible and quite distracting.
I only made it 1 minute and 41 seconds. I'm out of here. This is horrible to listen to
@@desertodavid I made it 2 minutes and 51 seconds before heading to the comments for validation.
Whoa I had to go back to see what you were talking about...I didn't even notice the sound effects at all, haha!
Cholera is pronounced CAW-LER-UH and not CHAW-LER-UH.
Probably used an AI voice. They don't always get it right.
yeah i'll never understand why these channels insist on using an AI voice. Couldn't a simple human just read out loud? Really makes content like this much less interesting. I immediately give a thumbs down no matter what.
While I give a thumbs up for the effort, I also get frustrated by mispronounced words: Will-LAM-et valley (not Willa-met), or the first utterance of Oregon as Or-i-gone which they corrected thereafter.Then, alas, called it Oreegun as their last word on the video. And what's with Way-oming?
Pronounced Oregon 3 different ways in the first minute.
@@cozyafloatismewaaaahhhhhhh
I don’t think the narrator has ever even been close to Oregon given his pronunciation of Willamette. But other than that and other mispronunciations, it’s a decent little piece on important history.
It's one of those lazy text-to-speech videos thats why its mispronounced
AI. Never heard cholera pronounced that way.
I think he’s an AI computer. Seriously.
Bot
"What kind of sound effects do you want?"
"YES"
Really informative and well made, thanks. Only the sound effects are really annoying and makes the video hard to follow.
Sorry about that, we will improve in our next videos
@@historyonmaps no need to apologize!
just some constructive feedback which you may take or are free to ignore. Your channel your creative freedom ;)
Good and informative video, but the audio clicks and dings were too loud (quite a bit louder than the narration), so I couldn't keep watching it.
Yall tripping
Shotty AI video. I have a feeling theres going to be more of these in the near future.
AI joins the chat: Did you mean SHODDY?
You pronounced Oregon 3 different ways. Areegan city, Oregon trail, and the state of Oregahn😂. loved the video!!
You can totally tell that this is being narrated by A.I. So many things are mispronounced. Hell, it even pronounces Oregon in about four different ways.
On the third try he actually pronounced Oregon more or less correct.
You obviously have not spent any time back east. "Or-e-gone" is how they pronounce it, like it or not . . .
It’s Willamette, rhymes with d-a-m-n-i-t. 😊
Oregon trail. The longest graveyard in America
?
Oh no you pronounced Oregon wrong .. Ahhhhh
Also Willamette
Say it with me. Will- Lammit. Not will-a-mett
Where did you grow up to not know how to pronounce so many words, or not know to look up how to pronounce them? I want to keep enjoying this channel but repeated blunders of how to say stuff (cholera = call - ur -uhh and you blew Elijah also) along with the non-stop sound inserts, many of them painfully in the high register, makes me wonder if it is worth it. Great information presented so poorly. That's the debate here.
Or-a-gon, wil-AM-it
Best to spell Oregon with a "gun" at the end when showing a correction. Obviously, the reason so many get it wrong is the "gon" at the end, making it "gone."
Narrator mispronounces Oregon as “Or-E-Gone” only to pronounce it correctly in “Oregon Trail” a half second later. Turned it off become 30 seconds in.
The valley in Ory-gun is pronounced "wil LAM et.
Need to retrain your AI narrator. It got Oregon right most of the time, except for the city name when it said Oreeeeeeeegon city 😛 Also butchered the pronunciation of Cholera. Some of the cadence was a bit off to, but otherwise mostly believable.
For all those who wear earbuds or headsets listening to the video with all the bells and actual whistles, I say, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Easy on all the high pitched sounds please. They keep getting louder and more painful through the video. I want to learn not be stabbed in the ear.
From what I heard there's two people playing pingpong while their tea is ready and one of them keeps having great ideas..
Traveling on the Oregon Trail, kinda puts sitting in the last row in a center seat on a long flight on Spirit Airlines into perspective… 😂
Back row is the safest seats on a plane though. They typically seat rich people where they will die in a plane crash on all airlines. Aka first class. But I get the idea.
You really pronounced oregon correctly when saying oregon trail, and then proceeded to butcher the word when saying just the state in the next sentence. Oregun* is how it is pronounced.
6:25 The classic "Oregon Trail" game begins in 1848. By the end of that year, Spain would cede the Cimarron and California regions to the US, and the trail would get more hype from the gold rush the next year, resulting in the cut-offs going that way.
On another note, nor did the game lie about the prevalence of infectious diseases like cholera spreading on the trail, especially through communal use of waterways wherever travelers set up camp.
The death rate was only something like 5%.
Not great if you are one of the 5%, not bad if you are in the 95%
@@phredphlintstone6455 Way more than 5% of my party members died of dysentery on all my elementary school playthroughs!
@@TheAtkey right?
"Cha-lera" is incorrect. It is "Ka-lera". Is this AI generated?
Many of the people wound up in Northern CA and didn't realize that they were not in Oregon for years.
Willamette is pronounced like Will Dammit without the 'D'. Will Am It.
My mother's name was Willa while I was growing up in Portland, and we jokingly called the river and valley "Willa-met" after her, but never in the company of other Oregonians!
I'm from Oregon City and feel stupid for not knowing the full history of the Oregon trail
📖🤓💡
Nice state with ducks and beavers 😍
This IS NOT an accurate history of the Trail -Coming from a 6th generation Oregonian
The Northwest was not unclaimed. Lots of people lived there already.
most were already dead from small pox
After the Mormon Trail was established in 1847, travelers on the Oregon Trail and California Trail could stop for the winter in Salt Lake City and trade for items that they needed for the rest of their journeys.
I could do without the sound effects! Thanks
Some of the pronunciation errors on this video are hilarious.
Jerry Lewis and Roy Clarke travelled that route...lots of laughter and singing songs.
"unclaimed land" like it was empty lol.
The AI voice of this video doesn't know how to pronounce 'cholera.'
Have you ever seen those broken wagon wheels sitting out at the end of peoples drive?
Yeah, well, thats how that family got there, the wagon wheel broke so there they stayed.
They settled for that spot & gave up on that dream of Oregon. Why do you suppose they
are called settlers?
!
Lame, computer generated voice to do the narration. Either that, or an extremely illiterate person purporting to be an authority well-versed enough in American history so-as-to post an educational video expected to be taken seriously.
What a shame. It could have been a great thing to share. Instead; down-voted and channel blocked.
Extremely bad pronunciation of multiple words--Some examples of the word Oregon, Willamette, Cholera, Guadalupe de Hildalgo, James Marshall, etc. Otherwise, this was useful. Go back and fix the pronunciations so it doesn't sound like AI narrated this (comment is from someone who is a Oregonian living in the Willamette Valley who also speaks Spanish) .
Go away.
Womp womp
Agree. Hard to tolerate.
@@lemonaid8678 it's a horrible video. Grow up.
@@desertodavid go away.
Its hard to take a video seriously when the makers dont take the subject seriously enough to get the pronunciations right.
Amateur at best.
First 15 seconds and bro came up with three different ways of saying "Oregon"
Not watchable due to ridiculously bad pronunciation and horrible sound effects.
Take a good story and f. .k it up with sound effects and computers "talk".
Fort Walla Walla is actually 30 miles from the Columbia River.
I died of dysentery just watching this. 😂
Please learn how to pronounce Wyoming, Oregon and route
The robo voice is bad and the sound effects are very annoying.
And yet not a single mention of the original inhabitants of the lands…
How does someone mispronounce cholera this bad?!?!?!?!
All the beeps, et cetera, how annoying.
The narration sounds like AI.
Can you find another way to mispronounce "Oregon", this is hillarious
The Oregon City one is my favorite
I was led to believe there would be more dysentery
And cowbells.
The Bidwell-Bartlseson party went to Alta California, not Oregon. Despite warnings from Thomas "Broken Hand" Fitzpatrick, they went southwest from Soda Springs in Idaho, without a guide. They abandoned their wagons near the Pequop Mountains west of The Great Salt Lake, and made the rest of the journey using their oxen as pack animals. They crossed the Sierra Nevada Mountains around Sonora Pass at the end of October 1841, nearly starving. They reached Dr. John Marsh's rancho at present day Mount Diablo around November 5, 1841.
The Joel Walker family (brother of Joseph Walker, a famous mountaineer/guide) converted their wagons to pull carts at Fort Hall, Idaho. They did not take wagons into Oregon. The first wagons taken to Oregon (at least to the Columbia River) were by Robert Newell and Joe Meek (borther of the later to be infamous Stephen Meek of the Meek Cutoff debacle). These were supply wagons, not emigrant wagons.
The first wagons taken into Alta California were by the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy party in November, 1844.
A few other inconsistencies... but I'll let those slide.
Nice video. Would be less distracting without the sound effects
I grew up 6 houses up, an grandma living right on last hill on Oregon trail to last wagon Roundup on Willamette River. My grandma neighbor, also living on Oregon trail moved to Oregon from Germany after WWII. She nearly starved in Germany while he was a German submarine sailor. When wall came down, this old German couple traveled to East Berlin to retrieve they're 3 young adult children. We had family of 5 up for thanksgiving dinner when they got back to Oregon. Seeing all the food, never dreaming such a table possible, kids started crying. Then old German couple started crying. I asked dad, why are they ceying? Isit all this food? That might be part of they're tears, but I think it's our freedom that allowed us this table? They are realizing, they are finally Free!
Sorry I had to stop watching because of the random pop ups and clicks and boops.
Dawg, the stock sound effects and what I asssume is an AI voice (because it doesn't know how to read "cholera") are pretty cringey considering that you're directly biting Geo History's style, but worse
I live in Oregon. In fact I went to Lewis and Clark College in Portland. In Eastern Oregon you can still see the wagon ruts in the rocks from all the wagon trains. If the train ticket was only $65……..why go through all the grief and misery of a wagon train?
Because $65 was like $10,000 today.
@@nicoleackerman205……wrong Nicole, do your research. $65 in 1883 is the equivalent of $1,200 today. The cost of a wagon train to Oregon in 1883 was $100 for a family of four. That equals $1846 today.
@@surferdude44444 Does not matter if one has $1200 just laying around they are privileged.
This topic really interests me but the AI voiceover that’s used totally turns me off. Use an actual person to record the script who actually knows how to pronounce towns and explorer names and the video would be viewable. Rant over…
The southwest should be labeled Mexican territory, shouldn’t it? Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821?
This is an AI generated video
your a AI generated video
Seemed informative, but the karate chop sounds made me turn it off halfway. The only negative I saw, otherwise pretty good stuff.
Oh boy, I’m afraid I must make this journey as I failed to reach completion last time. The redwoods feel like our tropical forest.
The Mormons came across in 1847 and settled half the intermountain west (Idaho to Arizona), but no mention.
Your map in Nebraska is wrong I drive on the Oregon trail every day in Oak ne.
In the first 30 seconds I have heard Oregon pronounced four different ways. Next?
Turn the sound effects down. Could have been a good video to loud noises
Sound effects are very annoying. Didn't even make it 2 minutes in
Those bloody noises, goddammit
if you are gonna make this video you gotta research pronunciations first...
The constant random clip art noises are very distracting. You don't need them.
Narrator left out the Mormon migration from 1847 to early 1860s.
Made it to 1:22 before I couldn’t deal with the sound effects anymore..
AI generated voice, names mispronounced. Creepy.
Could u imagine doing this ? Lewis and Clark and crew had some guts. To me this is one of the biggest ventures in American history. I’ll never forget a story they said natives said now y’all gonna run into something big , grizzlies. I can only imagine
Columbus and the Oregon Trail challenges idea of heroism on a monthly basis.
Wow who in your family sold you on the sound effects….fire them!
Your audio popping and other audio elements are very annoying.
Merriweather is such an awesome first name.
Ha , i was thinking the same thing.
So was Lewis! He was depressed during much of the journey, and ended up committing suicide (supposedly) when back in the "states." Clark lived into his early 90's and supported John Baptise (Sacajawea's son born on the journey) into the baby's adulthood.
Merriweather Mayweather
How's that for a name
I'm out, I can't stand how you pronounce Cholera.
The constant sound effects make this video hard to watch.
Your map shows Idaho under British control
The sound effects makes this unwatchable.
Is this a joke? This video is unwatchable.
Oregon territory was RUSSIAN.
qing were already there before us traders...
The pronunciation in this video is atrocious lol
Can't stand invasive sound effects. 👎
Omaha is too far north on the thumbnail
It's Ore-gone, it's Ore-gun
Stop it with the sound effects.
Wool-lamb-it 😂 not Willa-mutt.
Quit halfway thru bc of it
If you were a kid in the 80's or 90's you know all about the Orgeon Trail =]
I know others have given you a hard time on pronunciation- but don’t let it get to you. Good work on the vid and keep it up!
Oreeeeeegan City😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The stupid sound affects really annoyed me and ruined this video
I currently have the top score on the Oregon state Oregon trail website as bgc or big sad ❤
Very Annoying sound effects.
Yup, couldn't watch the whole thing
I have wondered if there was not an American civil war, how that would have affected westward expansion.
This isn't even a map.
