Kit Carson was by all accounts a very brave and capable Indian fighter. But as you pointed out, he did not believe in killing indiscriminately. When he heard of the news of the Sand Creek Massacre, for example, he referred to the men responsible for it as "cowards and dogs." It is a shame that today in our politically correct environment, that few young people today are even aware of who Kit Carson was. We are losing our heritage as a nation. Thank you fro helping preserve it. Oh, by the way. I love the fact that you do not mind people correcting you! A RUclipsr who doesn't think he knows everything! Wow! If I met you in person I would love to shake your hand! LOL. Peace.
I know this particular video is several years old, but I've been bouncing around the channel. I really enjoy this approach to historical storytelling. Thank you for the work you put in, @Wild West Extravaganza
It was a KIOWA, that took a bugle, and learned how the soldiers used it. We still have the very bugle. It's one of the trophies we put in the dance arena, when we gourd dance.
It s terrible sad both red&white nations died&lost so many...&because of mistrust,failed promises&failure to make fair allowances on their land wishes,killing far far less buffalo.
Love the channel! I’ve been binge watching it while mowing. I could do without a commercial every 5 fucking minutes but still subscribing and listening.
I stuck through the whole video. Was going to tap out a couple of times. Not kidding. I didn't because I was under my truck working on it. I'm very interested in this part of history. I live in that neck of the woods. Listening to your take was like hearing a bar stool elaborate.
So, I thought I would comment. Josh, I have been listening to you for hours, so entertaining, so informative and SO, So, so, hilarious. Makes my day at work completely tolerable. Son you have a unique gift. I know this is buried in the archives. Just hope you stumble over it, kinda like I stumbled over you! Kit Carson was tougher than Woodpecker lips or Roller Derby Tits!
Incredibly clever, using that as a confusion tactic, (bugle) and also setting fire to the grass for cover smoke, just testament and evidence how tactfullly competent our Native American peers were and are, stellar podcast
Sweet mother of Mary can this guy do no wrong?! Another great episode Josh like always hats off and shot glasses up OUTLAW UP! The boys and the Outlaw Saloon in San Antonio thank you for your time in doing these and truly appreciate the content. Still waiting to hear form you to get your Outlaw Saloon merch to ya. Keep up the great work and remember "you can't ride into greatness if you sit on your ass'. who said that.... will I did just now.
Funny. I'm from W.TX. 5th. generation. Came down NM from the high country to El Paso, the across to DFW in the past 3 days, and was thinking heavily of these days past in the bastard child badlands betwixt W.TX. and AZ. What a cool trip, twice. Many, many thanks for all that you are doing on here Josh. I'm very humbled and proud to be who I am and who I came from and you have re-invigorated the bad-ass who lives deep in me, brother. I'm eternally grateful to you and would like to have some beers and whisky with you some day, my treat of course!
I saw Adobe Walls and I thought we'd get a video on billy dixon and his miracle shot, guess we gotta wait until the 2nd battle of Adobe Walls Great video none the less!
It was actually a Kiowa who was the bugle player for the natives. It is actually an amazing story how he came to be able to do it. That is why at every Kiowa gourd dance a bugle is one of the three items in the arena and at the annual 4th of July celebration in Carnegie someone plays a bugle during the dance.
This is like the 6th or 7th video of yours I've watched, and I'm delighted to hear you reference Danny Mcbride. Lol The first video I watched made me feel like Kenny Powers was giving me a history lesson. Love your videos!
Love the podcast.... maybe the most informative and entertaining History genre podcast out there. Very clever, witty comments and humor thrown in for good measure! This Podcast and YT channel are keepers for sure
From what I've studied a mountain howitzer would be broken down to be carried on pack mules, wheels on one, gun on another, wood frame on another, or some similar layout, this allowing easy transport thru the mountains as compared to dragging them as rolling stock.
Lucien also rode with Kit Carson for Years before he married and settled down in New Mexico Good job keep'em coming looking forward for the 2nd battle of Adobe Wall's
Josh, the Army war college has a class where they study Custer's last stand and the 1st battle Adobe walls as what to do when you're about to get your ass handed to you.
Awesome video 👏 I believe there were Apache fighters on both sides. The Jicarilla Apache were good friends of the Utes in those days. They were present with Carson as well. Then the plains/kiowa Apaches were obv running with the Comanche and Kiowa. Intertribal dynamics in the southwest in those days were complex
I love your channel ! I went down a worn hole of wanting to know about quanah Parker because of joe Rogan. . Now I can’t stop listening to your channel. Thanks for your hard work !
From everything I've been able to learn about the First Battle of Adobe Walls Kit Carson's force of 300 odd men were saved primarily by the howitzers he had along for artillery. Without these cannons his force would have been wiped out just like George Armstrong Custer was 13 years later at the Little Bighorn.
Ok, now I can't stop lol, as a old cowboy in Arizona I'm deep into your channel. The little women is telling me what are you watching ? Wild west stuff, she knows me lol ,me a white boy and her a Mexican living up in the mountains we get at each other sometimes but love our life together, so to get away I watch these videos like yours and I appreciate your story telling, good job my friend...💯👍🙉🙊🙊
Just found you and I love history on the West so subbed up and I'm going to binge on your work so thanks mate really appreciate your channel. Peace. Slán Ireland 🇮🇪
I served in an Artillery battery for 14 years working with M109A4 Howitzers far bigger than what Carson was using but at Fort Sill, Ok. we fired mountain howitzers on occasion and I would of assumed he was using canister which would cause way more damage to oncoming riders like giant shotguns or shot would be good to which explode on contact
You just got yourself another subscriber lol I like your "18+" view lmao I think u should do an episode on the Wagon Box fight. We the Sioux could also hang off our horses and shoot arrows and bullets
I really enjoy your podcast. The stories are great and the way you tell is very entertaining. Have you ever heard of Captain Jack Hinson ? I would love to hear you tell his story. Keep up the great work. Be safe
How come you never hear about Lucian Maxwell a fellow scout and friend of Carson. He was also friend and employer of other more famous frontersmen, but went on to so much more.
Kit Carson was legendary as a scout and Indian fighter. He may not have been as famous as say, Crockett and others, partly because he was not a self promoter.
Always remember when it comes to Comanches "working somewhat" with Southern Confederate Texans, it is not a far stretch for consideration. We must always speculate and remember that the Indians knew full well that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So the idea is not so far- fetched???
We have stories of a mountain that smoked, and spit fire. And little men with long tails. They were gone for 3 years, given up for dead. And they mustve gone crazy. With the story they told us. The raiding routes of the KIOWAS, ranged from southwest Montana, to Chihuahua, Mexico. In fact the representative from the Smithsonian museums made the map.
I knew my mother would have great appreciation for the information presented so I forwarded the video. Unfortunately, I sent it before you started talking about stink fingers. I apologized, she informed me that of her opinion, she said "by the sounds of it, the boys only experience with the stink finger is from his sister!" She has such a great sense of humor and enjoys your videos. 😅 😂
The Kiowa apache Sioux commanche many tribes were every bit a warrior society as Sparta. If you want to know what fighting the commanche was like read blood meridian there is a description of a commanche raid that will make you glad you live in the 21st century
This channel and unworthy history are the only frontier podcasts I consider worthy outside of observations from Jesuit Canadian Wilderness Journals. Epic homages to heroes and villains from the rapidly fading unique American historical landscape.
@@WildWestExtravaganza i just happened to read a little bit about it in a book involving Titus Bass. I believe it would be interesting due to the people involved. I enjoy your presentation and the fact you answer your fans. Keep up the great work.
Love the content. Have been fascinated by the old west since I was a kid. Also enjoy your humor, guess its because its similar to my own lol. We are in the same age group. '82 brat myself. Keep the stories coming brother
2:05)At that time, the southern part of New Mexico and Arizona made up the Arizona Territory. They joined the Conferacy. 6:04) I read somewhere that Carson was a Brevet Major General. 7;26)Sides wrote a great WW II book. "The Ghost Soldiers". A true story about a rescue mission to save POWs in the Pacific. 8:04)William Henry McCarty, Junior. His first murder was at age 14 in New York City. 1874, the city was just a pimple located on the county's southern end.
Thanks. The part about Billy the Kid is false, though. While there’s decent evidence supporting the idea of him being born in NYC, that has yet to be proven. By the late 1860s, Billy was living with his mother in Indianapolis. They moved to Wichita in 1870 and by 1874 he was in Silver City, NM. He wouldn’t kill his first man until August of 1877
I would love to see you, Do a piece on the battle of fort lancaster in west texas. A place where five hundred california troops We're routed by two hundred and fifty texas confederate rangers
I ridden my horse through Canyon De Cheille. Not a place to fight the natives. You have to have a Navajo guide to do this. Rock walls up to 600 ft high. The Navajo would sit on ledges close to the top. See the Cavalry from miles away. As the troops neared the Navajo would just go over the top and wait on the other side until the troops passed through. Once the troops passed they just returned to normal daily life. I was told this by my guide. I take it as Gospel.
Another great video. I got a new youtube name I was originally Plymouthduster225. Just wondering if you ever plan on doing a video on Jesse Evans and his gang and his disappearance. Would be interested in listening to what you think happened to him.

Glad you're enjoying the channel!
It was a KIOWA, that took a bugle, and learned how the soldiers used it.
We still have the very bugle. It's one of the trophies we put in the dance arena, when we gourd dance.
Where at?
Carnegie Oklahoma.
The KIOWA gourd clan ceremonials. 2, 3, 4th of July.
I just commented this after hearing the story then I seen your comment! Aho!
It s terrible sad both red&white nations died&lost so many...&because of mistrust,failed promises&failure to make fair allowances on their land wishes,killing far far less buffalo.
It was a brilliant campaign and an audacious attack .The comanche had to be impressed.Kit.is a legend
Love the channel! I’ve been binge watching it while mowing. I could do without a commercial every 5 fucking minutes but still subscribing and listening.

Another great episode! I'm so glad that you tell the stories from both sides. It makes the stories more interesting and less good vs evil, more human.
From what I've studied a mountain howitzer would be broken down to be carried on pack mules, wheels on one, gun on another, wood frame on another, or some similar layout, this allowing easy transport thru the mountains as compared to dragging them as rolling stock.
Good info
Bringing history to life in your very unique way. 👏 Outstanding.. keep em coming .. ever heard of Texas Jack ?? Interesting character

Thanks man! Glad you're listening!
I find Kit Carson to be one of the most interesting historical characters. I have too many Navajo friends to make him a hero!
From everything I've been able to learn about the First Battle of Adobe Walls Kit Carson's force of 300 odd men were saved primarily by the howitzers he had along for artillery. Without these cannons his force would have been wiped out just like George Armstrong Custer was 13 years later at the Little Bighorn.

As carl Childers would say I like the way you talk
I live about 35-40 minutes from Adobe Walls. Like your history story telling, you do a fine job! God bless Texas!
Kit was my grandma's 4th cousin. Her maiden name was carson. You mentioned kit was short well garndma was 4 foot 2.
Great story thank you
Thanks for listening
Great stuff.
Wait, who’s Danny McBride?

I got this.
Hold my beer
Still waiting on that blackjack Ketchum episode. No rush tho just excited for it.
Aside from the mountain howitzers i wonder how everyone was armed?
That's a good question. I bet @dukefrazierproductions or @real11bangbang could shed some insight
Have you done anything on Tecumseh???
I know it's not the wild west but was west at his time...lol
Not yet, but I might one of these days.
Right on appreciate it and your podcast Arkansas Dave led me to you
Glad you're listening!

And yeah I guess I posted all of that on a not-as-new vid…..was on a re-listen. But I’m betting you see it!
I had a great great great several Grandfather fought at the first battle of Adobe Walls.
Have you done anything on the Taos rebellion of 1847? That would be a cool history lesson that seems to be overlooked.
No sir, not on here. I talked briefly about it on the series I did on Kit last year.

Do a chief doublehead documentary
Danny McBride! For real. Voice and cadence are almost exact.
You should do a whole 20 part series on Native Americans who served in the military, especially guys who fought in WW1, WW2, and Vietnam…

I hope to
2:17 The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I was all like.. danny?

Good job Danny Mcbride 👏
I really liked this story. You know why? BECAUSE IT FUCKEN KICKS ASS!!! thats why
