Until you got the thought of sharing some whiskey, blurring their vision and stealing it all under the banner of "Manifest Destiny" while never acknowledging the government of the society you belong to is based on one the first encountered, the Haudenosaunee, instead you're hiding a showing of humility.
Excellent! I'm fully caught up on your videos and was waiting on the next upload. Think I'll save it for my plane ride home but liked it and comment for the algorithm
I realized years ago that I was born 120 years too late, and not a day goes by that, strangely enough, I don't wish I had lived and been a pioneer back then.
I am the same way. So much so, I became a filmmaker and finished a script that deals with this era. I also make a point to watch as many westerns as possible, and have visited many museums that about this time in history. I feel like I am in the wrong time.
I don't think that the term Cowboy fits well for the immigrants of the Oregon trail. You have a ball point pen and modern rebar, anachronisms, at the time of the Oregon trail. I truly enjoy your delivery.
Just found your channel and really enjoying it. Commenting for the boost!
Another great upload filled with great stories! Keep up the good work guys and gals!
Thank you so much, Jon! We'll see you at the next installment.
Love the narratives voice,great story. Thank you!
The thought of getting shot full of arrows would have had me more than likely a non pioneer 😂

I respect y’all because I can’t. I need a functioning toilet and some toilet paper.
Join a biker gang. They're more similar to their ancestors than the descendants you find there.
Clearly, you are not of the female persuasion.
I presume none of you are women.
it was a hard trip but these were hard people and they were used to hardship they were much stronger than this generation
This was really cool thankyou for posting it. I'm a high maintenance unstable diabetic I think I would have made it about a week 🤣
And I thought I've been through some rough times. No way I could've made it through those experiences.
Wagon choice was also effected by were you were going and how much you needed to transport between possessions and needed supplies.
Maybe you should make one about all the positives about the Oregon trail. I'm sure they weren't always bored, always forlorne.
Talk about a sanitized version of the Oregon Trail.
subbed!
They were very tough people
Believe me you would have wanted to walk out here. Riding in a wagon didn't happen for the most part.
Yep. Most of us do know that.
Spare a moment for the settler's a nd what they had to endure before u complain about nowadays comfortable and cosy lifestyle!
How did they wash ?
@14:42 Where did they post their letters? Do you think they had spare paper and ballpoint pens? An established Postal Service?
The post service was started in the constitution. Before that letters were carried by ships.
Check the dates...I don't think crochet was invented during the Oregon trail days....
Needle point, embroidery, knitting, yes....crochet... idk.
I don't think that the term Cowboy fits well
for the immigrants of the Oregon trail.
You have a ball point pen and modern rebar, anachronisms,
at the time of the Oregon trail.
I truly enjoy your delivery.
@6:04...so THAT's why they're known by the Natives as "pail-faces"!
Men were having conversations while the women were gossiping huh?
Buckaroo
Over done friend,less is more.
Very unrealistic to me.
Why don't they just boil the water??
