The instant the chiefs understood their position they attacked..How can you not admire that kind of dedication to their beliefs and ways of life..Keep these coming chief !! I can never get enough of native history..APPRECIATE YOU !!!!
Agreed, although I have to say I think I have a type. I watch a gaming RUclipsr called Rhadamant who could literally be D&DG's brother lol. Right down to the voice, the calm but concise manner of talking 😍 He really draws me into Native American history.
@@datesanddeadguys Fully intended as a compliment 😁 Thank you for all your wonderful content. As a non-American I was never interested in Native American history until I stumbled across your channel.
@@datesanddeadguys absolutely, it's like the 4th time I'm watching this marathon and I still remain impressed with what you describe in it, also because of the way you do it. Keep up the good work and best of luck👍. maybe let us hear a little more about the lakota next? I'd eat that up.
This is super interesting but it’s almost tough to listen to because of how brutal the Comanches were it’s absolutely terrifying. Those Rangers had balls of steel
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of stories. I appreciate the effort you must have put into your research. Clear pronunciation, and a human voice, makes a great difference. ❤
Great channel!! So knowledgeable, i wish they could make a show using you as an on set reference. Like the 'Vikings' show on history Channel but about the Comanche. I must have watched this 10 times. It never gets old. The Comanche were amazing warriors. I would love to spend weekend after weekend with this guy over a few pints talking about history. He is a treasure of knowledge...
Thanks alot , it's what I asked for , a video more then the typical 30min, rly mean it. This is gonna be my go to when going to bed... Thanks for the work
Very, very well researched and narrated. Thank you sir! The fact that the Comanche had named themselves as "the people", and therefore "anyone else didn't qualify" -- 29:39 -- is actually a very common thing among different peoples, ancient and modern. It is quite a routine thing for tribal or ethnic groups to name themselves The People. So, it's us, 'the people', vs. everyone else, who are 'not people', 'not us'. It's yet another expression of human nature, the language of insiders and outsiders, humanising ourselves and demoting others.
100% It is probably not half but a ton of native translations for their own names breaks down to something like “the people.” It’s one of the things that made it so difficult for tribes to organize against Europeans. Their customs didn’t make it easy, their languages outside of their culture group (tribe) were different, they had long standing blood feuds with others tribes (not the people). I am not doing it just here but just this little naming structure alone is present in a ton of culture.
@@datesanddeadguys looking forward to them your rare not many have the ability to tell a story that's factual and at the same time be interesting great delivery thank you for taking the time to respond have a great day
There are a few famous artists I lean on for stories about the Comanche. George Catlin is probably the most notable for them specifically but I take a lot of Charles Marion Russell. If you want to see an awesome Modern Artist take a look at Jason Lee Tako. The man makes awesome stuff. What I can’t source from the internet I use AI to supplement, usually using the western painter Frederic Remington as the style source.
@@datesanddeadguys Thanks for the comment! Also thanks for all these great history lessons with such a vivid picture of all the lost stories not appreciated by this new generation of people who have no idea what true real history is!! Also wondering if u could maybe do a video on the indian wars of 1812 in Canada, or also maybe some wars between settlers in Ontario and the Native Americans, its something not taught in schools here most Canadians have absolutely no clue what our past is. Thanks !
Excellent video, thanks for producing this compilation. All my favorites on the Comanche Indians and Texas History in the early days of the Texas Rangers and life on the frontier of Texas. 👍👍
Thus channel strait up legit !!! Best history channel ever!! Please keep ads out .🙏💎🌅 Thats the only thing that Will ruin it !!!!!! Exalant format, content and delivery.❤
I'm really enjoying these videos! I've learned a ton and considered myself pretty well read on the subjects you've covered. Please keep up the great work!
The battle of Blanco Canyon would make for an excellent movie or tv series. Talk about an expedition into hell from the perspective of the Americans, and the eluding of the chase from the surprise appearance of the white man into the Comanche heartland. Riveting story the way you told it, and would love for it to be visualized.
Thank you so much for such an objective, educational, and informative account of the Commanche nation. It was interesting to hear of both sides and the comparison between the Commanches and the Mongol hordes.
This is great the way you have put these stories together. I have had to stop watching then come back and that is just fine with me. All your stories have been great. keep up the good work.
Empire of the Summer Moon is awesome. The gold standard for most people on Comanche history. Especially their downfall. My favorite though is Comanches: A history of a people by T.R. Fehrenbach. The first third especially goes into a ton of fascinating Comanche Culture. My favorite truly primary source is Nine Years Among the Indians by Herman Lehman. It is short but it written by a man who as a child was captured by the Apache and later became a Comanche warrior. It’s fantastic.
This is very well researched, presented and produced content. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber in me. Do you suppose you will also do videos eventually about tribes such as the Sioux, Blackfoot, Haida and Cree? I’m from Western Canada so I have some familiarity with these cultures. Will be looking forward to a deep dive into your library!!
2 of my best friends I had fought when I first met. They have been 2 of my closest friends for over 20 years now. It established mutual respect at a level that's hard to reach through regular interactions
How did you come out on your boat I made a few of them Comanche bows out of bodark or otherwise Osage Orange by the way I love what you are doing thank you
This is a good accountability comment. I haven’t touched it in probably six months. I bought a less than high quality draw knife. It is very quick to dull which has me discouraged. It is a project that needs finishing. But I will probably stick to rifle hunting this year.
I read the journals of Lewis and Clark and they said the Buffalo herds were enormous. The group wanted to cross a wide valley but had to wait until a Buffalo herd passed thru..3 days! It took 3 days for the Buffalo Herd to pass by! Lewis said he could have walked across the backs of the Buffalo to reach the other side of the valley
My favorite theory about the size of the buffalo herds for the 1800s is that they were not the norm. The great dying caused by European diseases may have reached west far faster than Europeans. With the Native American tribes decimated by disease the bison populations may have exploded the way that herbivores typically do when you take a predator out of the environment. Anyway. Long story short. The millions of buffalo may have been a temporary aboration. Regardless, It is something I can’t fathom in my mind. Like accounts for German soldiers in WWI taking days without break to travel through towns as they moved to the front.
@@datesanddeadguys I hadn't even crossed my mind. Thousands of native Americans in the east getting wiped out from diseases and if there's not enough to cull the Buffalo herds then the Buffalo herds might have grown exponentially. I had read that there were Buffalo in the eastern states but they migrated west once the east began developing And many native american tribes (what was left of them) migrated west as well...I'm no historian but your theory provokes deeper thought.
Fehrenback is a pretty good source. He has rare faults found in his comprehensive history of Texas: "Lone Star" but it's very readable. In his book: "Comanche" I find him better researched and more reliable on some points at least, than a more contemporary and popular historian. Those big black powder six shooters are dangerous if you have any powder at all on the front of that cylinder. I had a reproduction of that 8 lbs and 9 ounces Walker when I was a teen. Somehow I got the idea to cover the lead balls in lard as a "safety" measure.. As soon as I tried it I set off 3 chambers at once that miraculously missed the frame. I never shot it again. As someone who grew up in the former Quahadi stronghold in the Panhandle of Texas i'm looking forward to finishing your marathon. Sounds like it's going to be real.
I've often wondered if the native peoples settled where they did (prior to the incursion of the Europeans, and forced resettlement) because as more and more people arrived in "North America ' there simply wasn't a vast amount of land. For example why on earth did the Inuit peoples not keep moving south, or anywhere that had a less inhospitable environment. They certainly didn't come from a similar environment. Just imagine having to invent the igloo and the inunnguag (those stone in a sort of human form). What must it have taken. It's easy to think there was a huge amount of land all over North America devoid of tribes but that isn't the case. So many different peoples where utterly wiped out. They no longer exists and no one even knows their names, and this was brought amount by genocide. Not accidentally having gained immunity to small pox and the like, but the deliberate spreading of disease. Later alcohol was used to great affect and still is. Native peoples do not have the ability to process alcohol unlike Europeans who would have gone through a similar period thousands of years ago!❤❤
So much for the dime store paperback romance novels my mother-in-law used to read, where a captured white woman was swept off her feet by a strong, muscled handsome brave who showed her what it feels like to be possessed by a real man.
I wish this was taught in high schools across America so people would understand what it qax like living in the west's if America during the 18 & 19th century
The Donner Party is a topic that is mentioned for sure. It serves as a really good example on how much more difficult things were back then than now. James Reed was objectively wealthy for his time. That stuff didn't save them. It is a wildly different world today.
?? Rachel Parker Plummer lived to be 120 years,?? she was 17 years old when the fort was raided in 1836, right, that meant her birth was in 1819, and she passed in 1939. but no record was found as a supercentenarian list of the oldest women. But Jeanne Calment is the only person whose age has been verified to have reached 120 years: born in 1875 in Arles, France died in 1997, and lived to be 122. The years need to be reinterred in the case of Rachel Parker Plummer.
I don't know how sacret council meetings were for the Comanches, as in the same video they murdered a man under the truce of a white flag, a white flag they them self used to lure him out for council.
This is Grandma from Texas. Ya know when I was a kid I was proud that I had Indian blood in me The more I listen to these stories about Indians I’m ashamed. I’m glad that in the end they lost and civilization won.
Before people start hating on natives, just keep in the back of your mind; they did to us what we did to them. The violence and brutality swung both ways.
You know the greatest thing about this Channel??? I can watch the same videos multiple times... and that's a rarity...
That’s awesome. Thank you.
The instant the chiefs understood their position they attacked..How can you not admire that kind of dedication to their beliefs and ways of life..Keep these coming chief !! I can never get enough of native history..APPRECIATE YOU !!!!
Man I can watch date and dead guys Comanche videos for days.

Thank you much for taking us back in time. Who is your artist?
If im not mistaken most of his background pictures are from different artists from the old west who painted these portraits of the Great Indians
There are a few famous artists I lean on for stories about the Comanche. George Catlin is probably the most notable for them specifically but I take a lot of Charles Marion Russell. If you want to see an awesome Modern Artist take a look at Jason Lee Tako. The man makes awesome stuff. What I can’t source from the internet I use AI to supplement, usually using the western painter Frederic Remington as the style source.
