      I agree. I think this is the "long form" of a whole series of deep dives. Like, what did Native Americans think?
      Reparations for slavery - at the very same time as reparations for slavery were not given ("forty acres and a mule"), new immigrants and others were given free land. What was the presence of formerly enslaved in the West (much more than you think - see Prof Quintard Taylor's work)? What was going on with immigrants who didn't come by Trail, but over water from the far east? ( Hint - bad).

    Quick personal note... In the late 1970's, my family owned a rental business and had to flew to Las Vegas from Cleveland, Ohio to rescue an RV we rented out to a family that abandoned it, there. It and they had experienced several mechanical failures on the way west. We had a policy that restricted the RV to travel east of the Mississippi River, but the family insisted on driving across the country and paid us to bring it back. Needless to say, it was an adventure of a lifetime. I remember the engine would stall whenever it rained; in order to get through St. Louis in a rainstorm, I had to bang on the engine cover to keep the RV running. Thanks for bringing that saga back to mind.

    Fun fact, just like you can drive across some parts of the Oregon Trail today, you can also take a train across much of the First Transcontinental Railroad today as well. Amtrak's California Zephyr route still uses large portions of the first transcontinental railroad from the middle of Nevada to the Bay Area.

    You just combined two things I've loved since I was in elementary school: road trips and history. I was a kid once and I have plenty of fond memories of the road trips we'd go on with my parents. I can tell you that both your daughters will remember the trip and maybe will want to do their own version of it one day when they grow up. Every road trip means getting cranky at stuff, mainly because it's your family spending time together and the personalities clash quite a bit, but like I said I remember fondly all the trips I did with my parents and my sister back then.

      Hi handy How you doing? I Am Mavis warren from Massachusetts and I'm 55 years old and I'm a Business woman but my pastor preached to us on last week Sunday about helping the needy, and it really touched, so that's why I'm here to help other for a little out of what I have, I'm texting you to see if you need some money to payoff bills or do some other things

    I made it through this video over five nights while making supper. I'm so proud of myself! Lol ... I'm from the UK and have found most of the more recent American history to be quite boring, but as I crossed the Oregon and California trails a few times recently, and even camped practically right on it one night, unaware, I figured I'd force myself to make the full journey with you. Having driven some of this country, and having hiked in some of these areas, I can at least appreciate (a little bit) the hardships they underwent. Thanks for giving me an easy way to experience the full trip, I will never have a desire to do it myself, so I'll probably be a contributing factor to those empty museums. Lol. Peace, and thanks.

    Came here from Atun-Shei's history quiz with you! This is lovely and I really like how candid it is. Some of my favorite youtube docs are history/niche road trips that document the hiccups along the way, and this hit the nail on the head.

    I'm sure it was a bit intense not knowing when you'd find the next charging station or even the next place to stop at all. Not to mention having to care for the loved ones at the same time. You are a superhero Mr Beat!

    I can't believe that I sat and watched this whole video! It was factually interesting but, more-so, it was VERY SWEET. It was so nice to see you and your family taking this adventure. Does anyone do the American Road Trip anymore? I'm sure that there was a lot of crankiness and fighting, but you all seemed to be united in the unique journey. I drove across country (DC to Santa Monica US 66->81->40->15->10) by myself this summer (July 2022) with my 15 lb. Terrier. I did it in 7 days with a one-day rest stop in Sedona. I can sympathize on the stress. Even in a gas vehicle, there is uncertainty. Oh, and I'm older than you, so was completely unfamiliar with the video game, and was surprised to learn that it is such a phenomenon. Congratulations.

    I visited the Guernsey Ruts two years ago. It was a thought-provoking experience, since my ancestors pulled through those incised ruts. It's hard to imagine taking such a difficult journey that would also take the life of one or two family members.

    Good thing you were able to find charging stations along the trail, otherwise you might have to resort to cannibalism for survival. (A real, authentic trail experience.) I knew you brought Mrs. Beat and the whole family along for a good reason. They were just snack food for the trail. 😂

    Mr. Beat, thank you for the video. Great to have a personal history teacher on the road. It has always amazed me to know that there are spots where the ruts from the wagon heels are still visible. Now I have seen them on video. Again, thank you. I would like to make the trip but not sure my wife would enjoy it. I just noticed on this video that you have passed the 600,000 subscriber mark. Congratulations.

    Mr Beat -- a wonderful piece. I learned a lot. Specifically the need to get to Independence Rock by the 4th in order to beat the snowfall. Excellent flow, editing and use of animation to make your point. Plus the angst of driving a Tesla EV gave some perspective on what the original pioneers went through. A refreshing, professional piece for young and old. Bravo - continue to do great things. Steve Z

We were in Fort Bridger, Lava Hot Springs, Rawlins, Pocatello, etc just two months ahead of you and your family. We even stayed in the same hotel in Rock Springs! We might have crossed paths had our trips happened at the same time.
