Once there was a mountain man Who couldn't write his name. Yet he deserves a front row seat In history's hall of fame. He forgot more about the Indians Then we will ever know. He spoke the language of the souix,Blackfoot and the crow. From the song "jim Bridger" by Johnny Horton.
Well done, i live close to Fort Bridger, and every summer during Labor Day weekend, they have a Rendezvous at the fort. I haven't missed a single one except during covid (they canceled it). I go for the food and the experience every year. Every year, it's free on the 4th of July, and they do fun things for the kids. Fort Laramie. Also, it does a lot of fun things, on the 4th of July.
Really strange to me Bridger has no Hollywood adaptation. I grew up in the Midwest where we learned about Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan . I wonder if folks from the west learned about Jim bridger
Good video. It's usually pronounced "a-RIK-a-ra", although Native American names are usually applied to tribes by European-Americans, and prone to different interpretations.
It’s JeDediah Smith not JeBediah. The tribe Arikara is pronounced Aríkara with the accent on the i I think. Ephraim was a boar bear of later fame. John Colter of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery was claimed to be the first white man to traverse the Yellowstone country, not Bridger

Beautifully done. I loved the "petrified" fable. Ha. Ha.
You and us both!

The music is a distraction. I’d rather just hear your voice.
Maybe learn how to pronounce the names of indian tribes in the future?
Also, Jackson Hole is in Wyoming, not Idaho as you stated.
