Hoka Hey. Thank you Josh for telling Dewey’s story to us. And those buried at Wounded Knee and a glimpse of the Sioux. It’s still a tough life, prayers for them and you sir. Norman, Oglala Sioux. Fan
You're a good man Josh for talking about the plight of the Indians and every day that our government doesn't go back and rectify their predicament is just an other slap in their face. Thank you for the platform to vent my frustrations as a 1/4 breed Cherokee Indian. My father was a 1/2 breed and his mother was a Full Blooded Cherokee Indian and I am extremely proud of my heritage.
Great Job again👍 love your oratory style! Plain and simple-Wounded Knee’ was retaliation from the 7th Cavalry after the Humiliating defeat by a cocky General that led his troops into a battle that didn’t need to be! Attack a sleeping Village and kill women,children, young & old had been the protocol of the past-but it didn’t work out. So years later the 7th Cavalry cut down Sioux in dead of winter. Big Foot’s band was in the casualty’s. That morning-The 7th set up 2 Hotchkiss’ light artillery Revolving Cannons on a hill overlooking the Village and let loose a barrage! The Rest is History-A sad bit of History🇺🇸 God Bless the Sioux families that carried on. RIP🙏Dewey Beard.
I am sorry for MY white brothers they are rapping still today with the old people try to forgive me for what I did to all mankind. I am 76 and would give back to ALL. Ihad no part in slavery or you the real people of this land. But I don't feel guilty. I am sorry.
The soldier you were referring to in the video that was wounded it was Comanche. it was a horse of one of the soldiers. it was the only survivor of the little big horn battled, and it was pampered after that until it's death, and then it was stuffed, and it's on display. I don't know exactly where it's on display at, I forget. I think it's Kansas.
Pilamaye ye, thankyou for telling this story, we still live on reservations, were still fighting for our human rights, were not allowed to do well or be successful, we killed Custer they'll never forgive us. We are forced to be American but we will always be Lakota oyate, Lakota people.
Another gem! Lots of accurate info, solid research and an entertaining delivery. Thank you for all your hard work and also the sheer entertainment. Like I said before, you're the best thing since Wild West Magazine. There is an interesting story about the robbery of the monument to Chief Two Moon of the Cheyenne that supposedly included Little Big Horn battle artifacts among other things I would love to hear you tackle if you ever run low on topics. Thanks Friend, Peace & Stay Safe. Thanks especially for this episode.
DAMN YOU JOSH!!! Jus funnin'. That was the best one yet. I read 'Bury My Heart a Wounded Knee" and it broke my heart so much that it kept me from reading/watching anymore stories about how we abused these Americans. I'm really glad you made this one. Thank you so much. I wish I had Elon's money. In general, but, I would love to pay it forward to these folks.
Love you're stories, I listen to them while working delivering auto parts overnight. I'd like to suggest something for you to study up on and hopefully make story. The early years of Oklahoma City, the last wild west town. In one day (land run 1889) it went from a stop on Santa Fe railroad with just handful of people to a tent city of over 10,000 and there was no "true" law enforcement for the first year or two. If you look up "Hell's Half Acre" you'll find short story from local PBS station about this area of the town. Maybe it will strike your curiosity and make you want to find out more about town that was settled by people that was trying to make it and probably there last chance
He’s story was not a sweet yarn, but it was a great one. Dewey Beard sounds like a real man who saw a great hunk of life and, thanks to you, will now, hopefully, be remembered. You done good Josh ( hope I spelt your name right ). Thanks, man.
I so enjoy all your podcast I love the Western history also love that it's more than 15 minutes long Your vivid description and details just takes me there can't wait for the next you're a legend Josh 😜
@@WildWestExtravaganza well I like the babbling it's more realistic not reading it word from word out of a book And a quote from blazing saddles you like to keep your audience riveted 😂

Thank you Josh for this episode it just keeps making me sick how the Indians were so mistreated and they were portrayed as villains ! Thanks again Josh keep up the good work I thoroughly enjoy your episodes
Dewey Beard was a scraper, to say the least. I was two when he died. I was born in Xenia ,Ohio. Two miles south of what today is called Old Town. In the mid 1700 hundreds, it was the Shawnee town of Chillicothe, one of the largest of the tribes villages. Vast corn fields surrounded the village. Some say the birthplace of Tecumseh was nearby. In 1779 and 1780 the village was attacked and burned by Kentucky militia. They were applying a scorched earth policy to the Shawnee and Miami tribes. It worked the Chillicothe branch split, half moving to Missouri. The rest moved away. The treaty of Greenville forced the tribes north and into Indiana. Southern Ohio was surveyed by Virginia Military survey for distribution to Virginia Revolutionary Veterans. The first to move in were the Kentucky veterans of the 1779 and 1780 raids. Do not get me started on William Henry Harrison!
Well there you go. As you were describing the brave soldier & how he was celebrated, I knew you must be referring to Comanche. But, as a kid, when I first heard Johhny Horton, & all through my life, right until this episode, I always assumed Comanche was Custer's horse. Thank you Cowpoke
At the end of this amazing book :The Sacred Pipe: Black Elk’s Account of the Seven Rites of the Oglala Sioux (Revised) there is a picture of bighorn survivours youngest was 80 oldest ever 100 This book shows how dedicated to ritual the oglala were. American Indians and the fight for freedom fascinates me... Keep up the good work work
HooRah ! The travesty and the crimes heaped upon these people, is disgusting. I'm ashamed of the of my heritage except the drop or two of native blood I was blessed with. Thanks for your honesty when you speak of the way this man should've been respected.
I myself view Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to be some of the best American generals along the same ranks as we view Generals Grant and Eisenhower and they’re worthy of more honor than what’s been given to them to this day.
Finally got around to checking out your spotify. Keep up the great work. I'm sure you'll get the full 5 stars before long. You definitely deserve it. Hope you also get more traffic here. Hang in there like a hair in a biscuit.
Not No ,BUT HELL NO!!! NO ONE SHOULD BE KICKED OFF THEIR OWN LAND. NO MATTER WHAT, NO MATTER WHO, NO MATTER WHERE!!! NOT THEN AND NOT NOW!!! I EVEN LOST AN ANCESTOR IN THE BATTLE OF LITTLE BIGHORN AND YES WE WERE WRONG FOR EVER EVEN BEING THERE. Im going to stop with saying that i wish i could have met DEWEY BEARD. SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS ONE HELL OF A MAN!!! GREAT STORY AS USUAL. THANK YOU !
Really enjoyed this perspective and you tell the stories very well. It’s not often I find out “New” things about this battle, and the added saga of the aftermath is very interesting.

when you are a kid the custer saga and even the civil war were history i love this period in your history i remember a woman that was a friend of my gran who had a photo on her wall of a union cavalry soldier it was her father this was in the 70s can you imagine that here in ireland me as kid knowing the daughters of a civil war veteran very few irish returned home but he did and it was years after the civil war it was that which turned me to your history civil war period my main interest or as gary adelman would call a loser nerd and to think now in 2022 the last veterans of the civil war and custers last stand died just 6 years before my birth and heres the strange thing captain myles keoghs birthplace and family home is a minutes drive from me
Chief gall lost his wife and daughter in the Reno battle fought hard to push to force the several hundred American soldiers in full retreat! Chief gall later rode his horse to fight against custers seventh calvery soldiers at the last stand Hill to the Great sioux victory! Near a decade before the wounded knee massacre! Chief gall's hunkpapa Lakota and Oglala sioux Lakota encampment. The soldiers crossed the frozen river on January 2, 1881 the battle of the popular river. The American soldiers opened fire with their powerful weapons. Over an hour the Lakota sioux people were fighting in the near by hills. The American soldiers made the poor Lakota sioux people surrender and eight innocent people died on the battle field especially one poor Lakota woman crying to end the fighting! Chief gall look like an old Roman General when handed his weapon to the American military commander. The soldiers made the poor submitted Lakota sioux people walk over twenty miles in sub zero temperatures to Ford Burford ND were they become prisoners of war! The Lakota sioux war no one talks about?
If you haven't already read "the last days of the souix nation" by Robert Utley. It gives a really detailed account of what was going on in that time frame leading up and after of Wounded Knee.
Was wondering - have you ever wanted to do an episode on yourself? How exactly you got into being so interested in Wild West history? I'd like to hear your story
The way you started that off. "Despise war and the politicians that send young men to die for their pocket books, but I love our fighting men" Not sure I got that quote perfect bit hope the sentiment is close enough. I like that
You need to watch the tv movie Son of the Morning Star from 1991. It still to this day has the most accurate portrayal of the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the events leading up to it to this day.
I can relate to Dewey Beard. I am decended from 15 Confederate soldiers. Now the government has refused to protect our monuments, renamed the military bases named for our generals, and reduced us historicaly to the status of criminals.
This was a good story&truly sad,of a grieviously treated people.Never had heard of this poor guy. Read the book called Gall,a Lakota who was a killer of US troops&got his coups of killing Crows etc.however they were a defeated sadly dismissed people Good pounts on wasted money ¬ much to native Americans. However,as a Canadian way more than enough has been handed over to first Nations there. Great dichotomy in treatment way overboard to Canadian natives&far less for US.ones.Good exhortation for these peoples. &less bad language!
Another great podcast thank you very much Josh did you know there was a movie made in 1958 call Tonka and it was about a fictionalized history of this horse Comanche and when it comes to the miss treatment of the original Native Americans I believe what we did was worse than the slavery that we put the blacks through I mean at least a slave was kept in cared for not Not murdered with their wives and children
@@WildWestExtravaganza I remember seeing it when I was a kid I thought it might be it might’ve been a Disney movie but it was pretty good I think or starts out a long into an Indian played by Sal Mineo
Good story. Not all Indians fared so poorly. The Osage were first considered the wealthiest people on earth in 1906, then again in 1921. They had done well way back during the fir trade, getting a royalty off the furs brought to Saint Louis. Even before that they had been blessed with a genetic strain producing giant size at a time when fights were won by hand. Produced warriors like General Clarence Tinker of WW II and code talkers in both the World Wars.
@@WildWestExtravaganza Being rich can be a mixed blessing. Most of their marriages were not exploitative, however. Theirs is certainly a unique anthropological study.
This video highlights a tiny percentage of the shameful treatment of native peoples by the United States government. Strangely I just read about Dewey in the excellent book 'The Dull Knifes of Pine Ridge, A Ogallala Odyssey'. It traces an Ogallala family from when they still roamed free on the plains to modern day. I recommend it highly. "I am here on my own ground and I will never go back. You may kill me here, but you cannot make me go back." ~Chief Dull Knife January 4, 1879
Conquering the land is one thing, but what has always rubbed me raw, was the dirty crawfishen our government repeatedly torturously treated Native Americans. There's no honor in what was done, and casinos don't make up for it.
I'm unsubscribing from everybody but you and Mark Felton and Duelist 1954. I have to find a simple yootoob downloader in case the world comes crashing down and I lose my wifi. Thanks for a really good episode. I want my friends here in Oklahoma to see this. Thanks again. Peace.

Do a video on Ira Hayes, the Pima, AZ, flag raiser on Iwo Jima.

Excellent video. Before handing out reparations, Native Americans should be first in line.

I'm unsubscribing from everybody but you and Mark Felton and Duelist 1954. I have to find a simple yootoob downloader in case the world comes crashing down and I lose my wifi.
Thanks for a really good episode. I want my friends here in Oklahoma to see this. Thanks again. Peace.
You don't need a special downloader for my stuff. Any podcasting app will allow you to download to your phone. I personally use podcast addict.
