Sacagawea, Daniel Boone, & the Corps of Discovery

- An aspect of the Lewis and Clark expedition that’s often overlooked is that much of their success hinged largely on the good graces of the various Indigenous people on whose land they were crossing. Today, as we follow the expedition up Missouri, we’ll take a look at several such encounters, first with the Oto and Missouri tribes, then Arikara, the Yankton, and finally a near-disastrous confrontation with the Lakota - one that had the potential to significantly alter history as we know it. We’ll also examine the Corp of Discovery’s time among the Mandan, a possible meeting with the legendary Daniel Boone, and introduce a young girl who turned out to be one of the most valuable members of the expedition - a teenage mom known as Sacagawea. By the way, how exactly is her name pronounced? And was she really Shoshone? This is PART 2 in a series on Lewis and Clark - link down below for PART 1! #wildwest #history #ushistory

We’re following Lewis & Clark all the way to the Mandan on this one. Hijinks ensue.
I couldn't imagine being born and raised in a territory where my family lived in peace for many years, and some alien showing up to tell us the y own it now. Not to mention we now have to live by their rules.
I always regret the ending of your videos. Luckily for me I missed the first episode so I get to cheat this week and listen to a little more. This series is one of my favorites in American history, second only to Billy the Kid. Nice job on that one too. Thanks for all the hard work!
I grew up around Defiance and Marthasville, Missouri
My mother was a Bryan Aka Rebecca Bryan.
I'm in my late 70s when I was a young boy I use to run a trap line for fox across the river from defiance along the St Albans Bluffs. There's is a cave called Tavern Rock, Meriwether Lewis Captain William Clark
And the corps of discovery
made Camp there for a couple of days. 55 years ago there was a carving on the wall of the cave that said, we passed here amongst the Osage, Captain Meriwether Lewis may 23 1804.the bluff above the cave is where Lewis had his almost fatal fall. The story l
Was told as a child was he was startled by a rattlesnake and lost his footing. I can attest to this that bluff line is infested with Timber rattlesnakes. I've seen hundreds of them up there over the years.
@@patrickbush9526 Wow, what a great story, thanks for sharing! Love hearing things like this.
Coming over from The Casual Criminalist where Simon recommended this channel. I'm pleased that he did that, looks great over here.
Hey thanks!
I was teetering on the verge of boredom, and my man Josh comes through in the clutch!
I heard that! 🤟
I use Josh when my mind is all cluttered up with Current Nonsense Events that can keep me Endlessly Pissed Off At Something, or Nothing at all. I just get Ornery, and even my beloved Dogs avoid me when I'm like that. I can pull something from Josh, and in 1/2 hour or so I'm no longer ornery & mad at everything and Everybody. Plus I always learn something I didn't know from Josh, and that's Invaluable to an Old Goat Roper and History Buff like me.
Josh is kinda like the Pickled Ginger that you use at a Sushi Restaurant to Cleanse Your Palate between courses. He clears my mind of Clutter and Nonsense....And it's Fun listening to him, or reading his stuff.
I must compliment not only your story telling but your dedication to the details and intent to respect the people of our history as well as those they came from who are still here.
It's a sign of character that far too many lack these days.
Thank you
Got sent here from the casual criminalist Bonnie and Clyde episode, they where not wrong watched one episode and subscribe thank you for your in depth work keep it up.
Wow thanks!
That's one of the Good Ones. Along with American History from before & shortly after the Civil War. I'm interested in the "Gangsters of the 20s & 30s, along with the First Generation Mafiosos like Lucciano, Lansky, Siegel and that bunch, who founded organized Crime in Turn of the Century America. Modern day Crooks have so much less of interest about them, if any at all......MHO
Welcome to the Bunch. You'll enjoy the ride, "Back to those thrilling days of yesteryear" like the "entre" to That Old series, The Lone Ranger says, at the very beginning
You have come along way ghost you keep getting better and better. The mix of history,theory, and your great humor makes this show damn worth following. Thanks br
Many thanks
Man you got shouted out by Simon over at the Casual Criminalist
I heard! Thank you Simon and David!
REALLY appreciate your in-depth research. Keep on! We'll be here.
Much appreciated!
Perfect timing!!!🎉🎉
You were asking for a #1 favorite episode, well I really can't answer that i truly like all of them you do👍✌
Thanks man
I definitely enjoy your videos over others on the earlier history of expeditions.
Glad you like them!
Some of those Indian tribes are not spoken of anymore although their names are quite well-known because you hear them commonly said since they are names of cities, states, or rivers. You are right about saying that the Core of Discovery's success was due to the good graces of the indigenous peoples.This whole adventure was fraught with danger and quite a bold one. I would appropriately call Lewis and Clark explorers I think the reason why little was said about what entailed with Lewis's mishap involving the fall and use of his knife was due to some embarrassment behind it. My goodness. What woman would want to marry a man 40 years her senior, but the part about his wanting to enlist in the Civil War at age 90 is even more bizarre and more bizarre had they accepted him.It was quite rare for anyone to reach this man's age during that period. Ghast was a man of unusual strength, it goes without saying..No matter how you pronounced Sacajewea's (or is it Sacagewea?) name, everybody knew who she was. This enterprise was one adventure everybody would remember for the rest of their lives, and getting syphilis out of it would certainly be memorable.Thanks for the highlights.
Thanks for listening!
Hey Josh, what a great episode! I read William Least Heat Moon’s book and I guess I missed a lot of the details you mentioned in your podcast. I appreciate the backstory you tell on many of the events surrounding the Lewis & Clark expedition. Thanks! Good job.
Thank you Charles!
In Ambrose's 'Undaunted Courage' he covers the fact that Meriwether Lewis kept detailed daily logs of thenuse of his medicinal stores and the use of mercury in the treatment of syphillis. They all had it, including Sacajawea and both Lewis and Clark.
You just keep getting better and better Josh. Really loving the Lewis and Clark story.
Thanks!
Woohoo, you got a shout out from the Whistlerverse. Well done. The writer did give you some lip so you had better strike back.
Ha yep
I am a huge fan of the Lewis and Clark and the corps of discovery’s expedition. I like the detail you’re putting into it. And I agree as well, Stephen Ambrose book is, in my opinion, the best resource in writing. Thanks for sharing, I can tell you put a lot of work into this.
Awesome, thank you!
Highly recommend reading steven ambrose book about Lewis and clark. Best book I have ever read. These truly were amazing men and it's a shame many people have forgotten them.
Undaunted Courage. Great book.
@@WildWestExtravaganzaPicked her up yesterday for $3.99 after your recommendation.
My dog loves this. Thank you for pronouncing Orygun correctly!
Good to see you again, amigo!
You too!

Happy trails
You got another subscriber from the Whistleverse!
Nice, thank you
Oh yay!!! Need something to watch while I study
Good luck on your exam
Another great episode.
Thanks
Charlton Heston was William Clark in The Far Horizons, a 1955 movie.
Thanks again for the history lesson. / linguistic lesson.
You bet
Another well told tale, it is good to hear a Texas boy do well. So the next one will be about the Corps of Chlamydia? (I know, but it has the right amount of syllables)
Ha maybe
Thanks!
Thank YOU
One of my distant grandfather's happens to be John Shields the blacksmith for the corps of discovery. It's my understanding that he and Daniel Boone were good friends
That’s pretty cool!
Keep these bangers coming. Bloodly beav gang gang
More next week
I was watching a Documentary on this and I believe it was Stephen Ambrose that said the only way you knew Lewis was depressed was that he wouldn't write in his journal.
That's it, he still did his job and I don't believe anyone either noticed or pointed it out.
Yessir!!🔥🔥
So happy I subscribed
Me too!
When I lived in North Dakota, I became friends with a Cherokee woman living on the Berthold reservation. During that time, there was a point where some Sioux corrected me during a dinner we were all at. They told me it is pronounced Sa Cocka way ah.
You should make a video on some old timey stories from Saskatchewan or elsewhere in western Canada. The stories make it sound like 1800s Canada was just the same as the states
Will do
It is also reported the Gas went to see his doctor shortly before marrying his 20 year old Bride, for a physical checkup.
His doctor pronounced him in good help for a man his age, but reportedly told Gas as delicately as possible that "Certain Exertions" could be harmful. Gas asked, Doc, what are you talking about? The Doctor replied "Mr. Gas, in plain language, Sex could result in Death.' Gas scratched his chin whiskers gazed out the window for a moment, then looked at his Doctor, with a solemn expression and stated, "Doc I think a whole lot of that pretty little Lady, but If she dies, she dies. How much do I owe ya"
Haha
I'm here because of Simon Whistler
Heck yeah
Great story telling as always. Went to the Mandan Knife River Villages and a Lewis and Clark museum in the fine state of North Dakota as a tween back in the 80s and they sure as shit didn’t talk about all the sex that was going on!
There is a fun fact about the Lewis and Clark Expedition that ties back to Mormonism. No seriously, there is! There was a prevailing thought that there might be a connection between the Native American tribes and the Lost Tribes of Israel as described in the Bible during the early years of this nation.
“But isn’t this expedition a couple of decades before Joe Smith pulled that shit out of his ass…er, um…‘translated’ some gold plates with the help of a magical rock in a hat?”
Yes it is, but even William Penn (Quaker and oatmeal salesman) who died in 1718 believed the indigenous peoples were a lost tribe and their language was similar to Hebrew. So when Tommy Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark out, he instructed them to look for similarities between the Hebrew people and their language and the tribes of the Native Americans. It’s just that Joe Smith (with the help of some unscrupulous others) used his fantastical stories and made scriptures out of them and started a weird religion….that I may or may not have been borne into and was a part of.
Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for listening
Days when men had balls of steel❤ had to give it a second listen ☕
Fuck yeah great way to start my morning go Josh !!
Good morning
Way back in the very early 60s, for some reason the History teacher in my Tiny soon to be absorbed grammar school, was a big fan of Lewis & Clark, & Sacagawea too. She went in depth, into their expedition, and that sparked a whole bunch of years studying about L & C, Mountain Men, and the whole Kettle of Fish. If I'm truthful, that Blue haired Overweight Hardshell Baptist Woman kicked off my Lifelong Love and interest in American History, especially they Pioneers and Explorers, and then onto Cowboys and that whole era. She's Long Gone, but I regret that I never thought to thank her for turning me on to American History, and started my Love for Historical Fiction and Historical Non Fiction as well. Sometime the True Events are far more exciting and entertaining than any fiction writer can muster. "Forgive me, Zane and louis"
oh hell yes, been pumped for this one!
Let's go
Yaaaaaassssss!
You spin the yarn and I'll keep coming back.
I’m trying to
Interesting fact: Alexander McKenzie went to the Pacific Ocean much earlier
Yep, talked about that on the previous episode, as well as the exploration of the Columbia and a few failed expeditions
I go with the lake, Lake Sakakawea
"Hello there Natives! Just so you know: All your land is ours now. Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day. " -Lewis and Clark
`Yeah more content.
went to Sacajawea M.S.
we pronounced it
sack uh juh we uh. but were taught sa cog ah we ah was the correct way.
SACK was the funniest though
With respect, I’m not sure how it would be possible to study the Lewis and Clark expedition and come away feeling as if Native Americans were overlooked.
I’ve read The Journals of Lewis and Clark and they constantly mentioned the Indians and credit them with great contribution to, if not the primary reason the expedition succeeded.
I grew up in the Columbia Basin in Eastern Washington.
You can’t swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting a monument, a park or camp ground and even public schools named after Sacajawea!
Kids in the Pacific Northwest have no clue who Lewis and Clark are or what they did, but they know who Sacajawea is…
I can't stop laughing every time I hear the name of the dog. I guess Semen wasn't used the same way it is now. 🤔😆🇺🇸
Seamen
Thanks for responding to my text yes I figured that's what it meant I was just joking. 💯🇺🇸
Ha I know. More Seamen jokes coming tonight. No pun intended.
YEEEEE HAW!!!!!!!
YAH!
The mass grave from the small pox deaths is at hwy 94 and mid rivers mall drive, there's a mobile gas station there now! They were scared to dig up the soil fearing the small pox would be alive in the soil, but it was not.
Fuck yea! New shit! Im running out of unlistened episodes 😅. Love fron the shitty lil brother of a state aka The Boot...maybe shitty little brother holds NOLA in too high a regard....but looking at MS always makes me feel better.
Alright the beaver is at it again.
Can’t stop
Let's go
Thank you
Thank YOU
Let's do it
Did anyone think, when they heard all of this yelling about the Omaha...that maybe someone was just watching a football game in their teepee, with Peyton Manning playing?
Great comment
My grandfather thought my grandmother was being walked home everyday by her grandfather. It was her husband. The 2 men came to a deal that my grandfather could marry her and when her ex wasn't whaling( Alaska late 20s) she would cook for him and do his Laundry. She was native and 16 years old and had 3 kids already.
.... without Charbonneau, she's not in the picture...just give him the credit too...
Wait, just curious….give him the credit for what?
Credit to have chosen a wife who knew the way....
I mention him throughout the entire series.
Louis' little jizzy dog Seamen
Wish u did this series without as much jokes or fake what its
You can’t always get what you want in this life unfortunately
Interesting. How old would have sitting bull and red elk been back then ?! Maybe not even born yet huh
Sitting Bull wouldn’t be born for another 25 years
Youde have to ask somebody from her people. An elder. Theyed know how to say it right.
Her people say it the way I was saying
Thanks!
Thank YOU
