if you ever go to some of these historic sights...and stand in the very wagon ruts where these people traveled.....you think to yourself how did they do it...and survive...knowing that every day they had to endure almost impossible odds....and then look at people today that become angry at some of the most idiotic things....and become offended by the most stupidest things…..and become helpless over things that people hundreds of years ago would have laughed at....
Yes,right up on Mt Hood there's still wagon wheel ruts, burns on trees from lowering the wagons down cliffs with rope. Ol Perry Vickars buried up in the mountain. At Pioneer Cemetery, Summit Meadows.
@@WYO_Cowboy_Joe That's what you want to count on? Just asking because IDC how many or who die for any reason. Humans have no greater right to survive than the animals we kill. Tao takes zero notice. Counting on an impromptu rescue, dependent on a single person's luck in surviving at all, seems to me kind of desperate. More so than a prepared and funded agency tasked with saving people.
I was reading my Great Great Great Gransmother's diary of her experience on the Bozeman Trail . .One sentence caught my attention on page 94 " I am getting a little tired of my daughter Nellie asking "Are we there yet?""
I have always had a deep interest in history. My grandfather was a Texas Ranger and my father served on a Heavy Cruiser during World War II, and ended up living in Japan after the war. Hearing their stories, combined with trips I took 3 summers in a row as a kid to the American West with an organization called "Myers Mountain Men (out of Austin, TX in the 70s), fueled my keen fascination with history. Growing up in Latin America, Brazil to be specific, also gave me experiences that most young people my age didn't necessarily have. In College, I realized that history came easily to me because I enjoyed it so much. As a result, I ended up receiving a minor in history while working towards my MA in International Relations at the University of Texas. It wasn't even something that I planned, but as it turned out I had enough credit hours to qualify for the additional degree. My love of history and such interrelated fields as anthropology, archaeology, paleontology, and social studies, to name a few, have given me a whole new perspective on life that I might otherwise never had. I love to travel as much as possible and explore new places, whether they be in some hard-to-reach, far-off country, or just down the road from where I live. For example, I recently moved to Florida and I am fascinated by the history that exists in this part of the world, whether it be the founding of St. Augustine by Spain long before English pilgrims landed in Jamestown or Plymouth Rock, or exploring for fossilized Megalodon teeth, the largest shark ever to live in our planet's oceans. Finding these fossils, some of which can be up to 20 million years old, and reach 6 inches in length, is an amazing experience. They belonged the to the largest sharks ever to swim in our oceans, some reaching 60 feet in length and having the strongest bite force of any creature ever to live on Earth, and now it is in your hand. That, my friends, is one of the coolest parts of history and how it interelates with other areas of interest or study.
Loved this , I just cant get enough of this history subject.. Stuck in UK i need all i can get until I hopefully move to USA, God Bless my American Cousins : )
My family is from Big Horn Wyoming. My mom went to high school in billings. My great grandma went through Yellowstone in a covered wagon. I grew up going around these areas. From Missoula montana to sheridan/big horn, Laramie, cody, Casper, buffalo Wyoming. I love it there. Its beautiful country and a lot of history
I can only imagine the stories your Grandfather passed on!! My Grandmother was the storyteller of days past,.... births, deaths, marriages, fights, cheating and succeeding!! I and my brother would sit at her feet as she slowly rocked back and forth. In the summer, the linoleum was cool and Mamaw kept it clean as any plate in the kitchen cabinet! Her and Granddads beginnings were hard. They were share croppers in early years, there was always work to do. Harvested and made sugar cane, my mothers fond memories of riding the pony round and round while Granddad fed the cane stalk is her favorite memory. Our children and grandchildren know not the human strength and faith of God that molded this great country. Hard work builds character and faith builds strength...not purple hair or nose piercing🤦 Have a blessed week!
I wonder if John White is related to me. My 3rd great grandma was named Margaret Ellen White. In 1862, when she was 13, she and her family set out from Independence, MO., heeded for Walla Walla, WA. She and her 11 year old brother were driving the team of oxen that their parents were leading, they were attacked on the Snake River by hostile Indians. Their train made it all the way to Walla Walla however. In December of 1864, Margaret Ellen White married my 3rd great grandfather, William Periman, at Whiskey Creek, Wa. Their first son was born there in December 1865. In April of 1866, William left to prospect at Beartown, Mt. Then in August of the same year, at at 17, Margaret Ellen Perriman hired 2 boys about age 18, and rode with her infant, Luther Frank Periman, in the saddle in front of her. They drove 17 head of cattle and 11 head of horses. After settling near Dear Lodge at New Chicago, when William was away mining, other settlers came and told Margaret she needed to flee to the fort because the Nez Perce were coming. Margaret refused to leave. When the 12 Indian braves dismounted, she invited them in for tea. They wanted "tamoniwick" which was tobacco. One of the men recognized Margaret from her wedding at Wisky Creek. They all shared a peace pipe. Before departing, once of the Indian men patted Margaret's daughter Mary Jane on the head and said, "skookum papoose" (good girl.) There is SO MUCH MORE to tell about my White/ Periman relatives. But, that's another story for another time!
Fun fact: my ancestors on my moms side of the family, the Gage family, were the first family to homestead in Montana. In sweetgrass county. There is a monument on the side of the highway with their names on it.
All the history that the land of the dreams kept, I can imagine all the people who walked through the land, long time ago, and the mountains witnessed all that. from themselves. Bless you all from whenever you are right now around the World!!!!
All the way from Manchester, England. I have a fascination with the immigrants who gave all for a new life, the native people who owned the country and has an ex British soldier, the common American soldier. Brilliant documentary.
Respected history. Amazing story. Such unreliable detalis . I love Montana, that's why I listen to it to the end. I love it, I just can't get enough of this story theme.Thank you very much for this video.
I've heard stories of my great-great-great-grandparents traveling the trail in the covered wagon. They brought along two dozen chickens. Most of them were egg layers. They did not want to take up space in the wagon with cages, so they chained each Chicken around its neck, similair to a chain gang. They forced them to march single file all the way from St Louis to Oregon. It was a long miserable walk for the chickens
I was born and raised in Livingston. I now live in Belgrade, which has become almost unlivable within the last 30 years with people moving into the area
to all you cry babies that complain about PBS fundraising...first of all, that's how they stay in business and provide amazing content. Second, this is youtube, you can just skip ahead instead of complaining.
If you enjoyed this Documentary, suggest you take a look at one called uncharted territory about David Thompson who mapped 1.5 million sq miles of NW Canada along with another one about Alexander Mckenzie same sort of can do attitude.
Closet I ever got to this area was being the winner of the Marlboro Ranch giveaway. My gf and I spent a week at the Crazy Mountain Ranch. Once in a lifetime trip. Too bad the ranch was sold a few years later and the giveaway ceased.
I find and follow California trails via foot or mtb. Always amazed by what was then the only option. Then was led by a trail blazer. A reclaim some of those in my backyard. Saving History!
We would love to watch this, but we are hearing impaired so the music drowns out the words and there are no captions. I’m sure the documentary is excellent otherwise.
PBS knows how to make quality documentaries. For example, the background music is very low and unobtrusive, as opposed to the so-called history channel and Nat Geo! The only negative aspect is the time spent begging for money.
Some of these soldiers were Galvanized Yankees. They carried 1873 Springfields. Some only had two or three loads for their weapons and had never even fired them for familiarization. I got this information from Dorothy Johnson's book The Bloody Bozeman.
We lived in Casper and loved the area. Standing atop the low level hills and looking off to the north, east, and west the horizon seems to go on uninterrupted forever. Easy to understand why the area is called big sky country. For those poor cramped souls living east of the Mississippi my advice (like that of Horace Greeley) is go west!
The government did so wrong by the native Americans and First Nations. The treaties that were “signed” did wrong by the Natives. I am still confused why settlers wanted to eliminate different languages, strong spirituality, cultures. It’s literally what gives people hope to move forward. Any thoughts as to why they didn’t like native culture?
Superior attitudes towards anyone/ anything they don't recognise, or value, " wipe em out" attitude, First Nation's people, had they been as ruthless as the bully whites would have conquered them, & yes I'm a "whitey!"
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” We unfortunately are in the weak men stage.

The Plainsmen of the Yellowstone: A History of the Yellowstone Basin Mark Herbert Brown U of Nebraska Press, Jan 1, 1961 - History - 480 pages 1 Review This rich and authoritative chronicle of the Yellowstone Basin covers a span of more than a century and half, from the 1740s, when the Verendryä brothers were seeking a route to the Western Sea, to the late nineteenth century and the days of the settlers who turned the prairie sod "wrong side up."
Ultimately, it was gold fever that placed civilians in danger, which then led to an over extended military across the region. Ft. Kearny was basically an isolated compound that was built under extreme duress.
@@dbigdad well, luckily this is the internet so you can skip through it. It’s PBS, they need to raise money. This documentary is great, you’re too spoiled if having to skip forward is too much for you. We should be grateful that they even allowed this upload
It's terrible that the husband would leave and never come back leaving the wife and children in a sort of limbo. She was stuck waiting for letters from him and couldn't remarry if he never wrote to her.
As few funds reach public radio and television stations, programs as well produced as this one are prodigiously expensive and require public support for those who enjoy the productions. Do you not want to be paid when YOU work, or do you work for free?
I guess they should have advanced their society and stopped infighting instead of being so primitive that they're easily conquered by some travelers *shrug*
So we should go back through the entire history of humanity and have each people apologizing for every war ever - you frickn ppl are looney They did the same to other tribes
Long story. My parents live there( Bozeman and other MT towns). We all have a variety of native American genealogical history. Last time I visited my mom, I found a friend as cashier in a small town grocery store. She was so distraught: her sister, missing for a year, was found last night tied to a picnic table and raped 100+ times on meth she never asked for. She had been kidnapped and barely recognized her family. 🧬 We must protect each other. Bad guys are real. Great Falls My is where that happened
Ya that one movie with the fish cop and a woman FBI agent and how the oil drillers raped and chased a woman in snow made me look into it. A lot of deaths are on the reservation. It’s sad.
@@MrLawman82 Well in the end of the day you are right my blood thirsty American,it is a cruel world we live in,and its the rule of stronger that brings the final word,but it will not be long before such story knocks on your doors aswell. Do not wish and do things to people,that you don't want people to do to you. Instead of embracing native american culture and building U.S. on such moral foundations,you chose to build your country on blood and bones. What starts in blood,ends in blood. Best regards from Serbia!
Indians were trying to fight the us army, the confederacy, the British, French, and our own people. I always wonder what it would of been like if the Natives could have just banned together. Or all the poc banning together. We didn’t stand a chance. But we also knew that back then too.
Wait . If FEDDERMAN is such a Great Experienced Professional Officer , why did he go over the Ridge ? He got Suckered by the same Tactics as the Mongols used 600 Years Earlier .
Some ppl whine about the poor Indians being deprived of"their"land. The fact is that Indians stole land from each other for centuries. And who knows before that? So how could we possibly know who first owned America?
The argument revolves around man's inhumanity to man. God the is eternal Maker and Owner. Except in fantasy man cannot make a world or universe or govern eternity.
Enjoy it anyway! I am old fan of Ted nugents guitar playing, & some say I shouldn’t like his music coz they don’t like him.. I don’t care for his politics, but his guitar playin on stranglehold & other tunes. It is quite possible to appreciate the good stuff 😊
It always shocks me when I watch these kinds of shows how much the so called white man could drive a people from the land that was theirs to begin with..Just about all indian nations got a raw deal
It's the same spirit that drove some Indian tribes to conquer and enslave other Indian tribes. Get over the "white man" obsession. And who's to say that Indian tribes didn't drive other previous tribes away from their lands? Every human being is capable of great evil and prone to hubris.
if you ever go to some of these historic sights...and stand in the very wagon ruts where these people traveled.....you think to yourself how did they do it...and survive...knowing that every day they had to endure almost impossible odds....and then look at people today that become angry at some of the most idiotic things....and become offended by the most stupidest things…..and become helpless over things that people hundreds of years ago would have laughed at....

The Plainsmen of the Yellowstone: A History of the Yellowstone Basin

U of Nebraska Press, Jan 1, 1961 - History - 480 pages

This rich and authoritative chronicle of the Yellowstone Basin covers a span of more than a century and half, from the 1740s, when the Verendryä brothers were seeking a route to the Western Sea, to the late nineteenth century and the days of the settlers who turned the prairie sod "wrong side up."
I somehow managed to watch halfway until I got fed up by the interminable ads.
You know you can move the time line and by pass the adds.
I first met Gail Lewis on the Bozeman trail. She was breaking ground for a Walmart.
Dance with wolfs ❤❤sad for my Indian brothers and sisters still fighting for their mana.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing : )
Is there an in-depth book that covers this trail?
The skills they had to have to survive! Real men back then, and women were just fine letting men be men, and women be women.
It's terrible that the husband would leave and never come back leaving the wife and children in a sort of limbo. She was stuck waiting for letters from him and couldn't remarry if he never wrote to her.
Selfishness or had died
Why didn’t they simply build a star fort out of stone cut so perfectly you can’t fit paper between it, Corey from hundreds of miles away
It's getting back to those days where ppl actually socialise instead of computer tech.
Cant help but ask what his family did for food.i dont think highly of him leaving them to struggle
Hunted and pheasant ducks wild berries edible wild foods plenty
The technology of the horse destroyed the plains
The sand creek massacre wasn’t even acknowledged as a historical sight until the 1990’s…
Why is it that the only time PBS has something you would want to watch, is when they are trying to raise money?
As few funds reach public radio and television stations, programs as well produced as this one are prodigiously expensive and require public support for those who enjoy the productions. Do you not want to be paid when YOU work, or do you work for free?

Lust for gold, greed is what led to the destruction of the native american way of life!!!
Indians shouldn’t have gotten in the way unless they planned to fight harder.
@@MrLawman82 Well in the end of the day you are right my blood thirsty American,it is a cruel world we live in,and its the rule of stronger that brings the final word,but it will not be long before such story knocks on your doors aswell.
Do not wish and do things to people,that you don't want people to do to you.
Instead of embracing native american culture and building U.S. on such moral foundations,you chose to build your country on blood and bones.
What starts in blood,ends in blood.
Best regards from Serbia!
@@MrLawman82 Your time might come yet, buddy
@@CarlDidur I doubt it lol...
Come knock on my door looking for a fight it'll be the last door you'll knock on. That's a promise.
The end is cut short. Seek other alternative posts that may have the complete story.
Nice
Two word's shines out " manifest Destiny * ;)
Sounds like wistful and self righteous thinking.
Manifest destiny to . Robbed and invade!
Indians were trying to fight the us army, the confederacy, the British, French, and our own people. I always wonder what it would of been like if the Natives could have just banned together. Or all the poc banning together. We didn’t stand a chance. But we also knew that back then too.
I hope Trudeau ain't watching! He'll be phoning in donations, like a drunken sailor!
the background music is ok, but to loud
Natives were just trying to protect the lands. 😢
Wait . If FEDDERMAN is such a Great Experienced Professional Officer , why did he go over the Ridge ? He got Suckered by the same Tactics as the Mongols used 600 Years Earlier .
49:12 How's that work? "Two were quickly buried and the other presumed dead"
Some ppl whine about the poor Indians being deprived of"their"land. The fact is that Indians stole land from each other for centuries. And who knows before that? So how could we possibly know who first owned America?
The argument revolves around man's inhumanity to man. God the is eternal Maker and Owner. Except in fantasy man cannot make a world or universe or govern eternity.

Thank you, I am glad someone else caught that too. You would think with this being so well produced, they'd have caught that!
Too many commercials 😥

Wasn't Montana State University that neglected horses, and they died of lack of water?
If PBS wasn’t so liberal and one sided I would donate.
Enjoy it anyway! I am old fan of Ted nugents guitar playing, & some say I shouldn’t like his music coz they don’t like him.. I don’t care for his politics, but his guitar playin on stranglehold & other tunes. It is quite possible to appreciate the good stuff 😊
It always shocks me when I watch these kinds of shows how much the so called white man could drive a people from the land that was theirs to begin with..Just about all indian nations got a raw deal
It's the same spirit that drove some Indian tribes to conquer and enslave other Indian tribes. Get over the "white man" obsession. And who's to say that Indian tribes didn't drive other previous tribes away from their lands? Every human being is capable of great evil and prone to hubris.
Indians were no match for the white man. Get over it. They lost. Move on.
@@FlippedNormal Hey 👋🏾 colonizer POS. 🥱 Tired of your racism.

58 mins of story, 1 hr of Montana PBS fund raising.....
Im 15 minutes in and it just sounds like a story of a bunch of animals.
What kind of Higher Ups would Arm these Soldiers with Out dated Rifles to go Fight Indians ?
Bahh !
Alex Murdaugh and family (South Carolina) would make a great video.
