    Didn't get a notification for this. Just finally saw your latest episode in my feed so I went back to the start to begin binge watching. Love your shows. Great job on the historical information and narration. Keep it up. Sharing the seiries. We need to get your numbers up. You are great.

      Thank you for proactively going back to watch all the episodes! Sometimes the RUclips algorithm can be goofy distributing the video. This has been my most watched series so far so it is growing -- slowly but surely. Thanks for your help!

    This is seriously my new favorite ZJ channel. Just bought my first one last week getting a new pcm to put in today. So excited! Channels like yours truly show that you don’t need a ton of money or brand new jeeps to have fun. Keep them comin!

    Great video man, all 'round. I enjoyed it.
    Just a little note on that battle: The south side where the plaques are is actually the area where the battle was initiated by the cavalry scouts. The battle took place on the other side of East Clear Creek, or the "Big Dry Wash", to the north where the Apache had their camp and were planning their ambush. Rifle fire was established at the plaques site area that allowed the cavalry to maneuver, crossing the wash below and up the other side on both flanks, to encircle the Apache. That is why this battle was considered a perfect execution of encirclement. Chaffee was actually given command by his superior because he was already on scene when he arrived, and the battle started. It's really interesting, the whole lead up to the battle, during, and after - they found bodies of those Apache that had scattered a distance away in crevasses and caves all around, even well after the battle.
    Don't think to find much of anything looking around. There isn't much to see and nothing identifiable like a bulwark. It's been gone over by ranchers for a century, and metal detectors in the past decade. The latest of which I accompanied on a tour of the site a few years back. He had walked the whole area and recorded each bullet found and its location, identified it, and the rifle used. That's how we know exactly where the the movements were and the main locations like the Apache camp and pony herd were located.
    I only mention all this for anyone who deep dived this battle, like I did. There is surprisingly detailed info in the official Army battle report from individuals that participated, tho avoid Tom Horns account he wasn't even there. If you want to know more start with the Battle of Cibecue.

    • @azoffroad_net
      @azoffroad_net  Год назад +1

      Thank you so much for this info, Mike! What great additional insight to have on the battle that took place there.
      I mention your comment in a Q&A video that will be released tomorrow morning. I appreciate the time and your contribution to the content. It's interactions like this that allow RUclips to be such a positive place. Thanks again for watching!

    • @cq7415
      @cq7415 6 месяцев назад

      Very good. I have all the first printing books written by the soldiers that were there fighting and yes forget Tom Horn as he did not participate and very often lied to promote himself.

    Another great video. I had heard about that abandoned railroad tunnel, but wasn't sure where it was. Sounds like a reason to go on an adventure! Great series and I look forward to more. I really like your historic narration about the area your traveling. It really helps understand the history of those areas. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

      Thanks! And that's awesome. So far my jeep has never left me stranded. I have broken the rear track bar a few times and a goofy crank-position sensor has left me nearly stranded, but aside from some routine maintenance and a few upgrades, the Jeep still get's me out and back on all my adventures!
