As far as draft mules are concerned, this documentary is correct. However, pack mules involve a completely different set of knowledge, which did not originate in the anglo world. So, i am surprised that the spanish origin of the PACK mule train isnt mentioned. this form of transport (called "Arrieros de mulos") originated in Spain and was spread throughout Latin america thanks to the rugged terrain and their, well, "roads". And it was one of the inventions that was taken in it's entirety by the americans when they collonized the southwest. unsurprisingly, given the terrain. It's good that this knowledge is being kept alive.
Thanks for the work you do. Documenting all these people, places, and bits of history that helped make our nation what it is. While I recently found your channel, it blows me away you don't have a huge following.
Mules are the great Ass that moved a country. I live in the Sierras and Mountain bike in many a Emigrant trails, Pony Express and California Historic trails. The old trails are the best. Todays perfect trail builders technology is great. But the True Trail Blazers are the best. Im still finding and ride and map. #wileyswheelworks

I loved my black Appy molly mule "Mercedes". We competed in endurance rides back in the 80s. Mules are the best!
