John Monnett's book was right on target. It is a book I highly reccomend to all who want to learn what really happened.

Greetings from the Bent’s Old Fort. We enjoyed visiting this incredibly important Fort . I appreciate your work. I posted a video of this amazing and historical Fort. I started my own travel channel last January and look forward to hitting 4000 watch hours. I love the challenge and especially enjoy sharing this gorgeous country with as many people as I can. I have gobs of information and experience because I’ve traveled this country fulltime for over 31 years and been to over 250 National Parks, hundreds of State Parks and other public hiking locations. We enjoy “out of the way” adventures. Safe travels to you. Edit on!

I am from Texas and I did not know this tale at all! thanks for sharing!

I AM OFFENDED that political correctness is more important than the words of the orriginal lyrics. The orriginal lyrics give insight into America's rich past, too soon forgotten. 😢

Please take this as a compliment. As the years have gone by watching your western histories, I've noticed a vast improvement in your style and delivery with every vid. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Great graphics, though access is limited you provide great graphics and dialogue, I’m able to picture myself there. Plus I have the bonus of experiencing those cold “WINDY” winters!👍 keep it up. “Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it”- George Santayana

More videos 👍👍👍👍

I love history and you have some of the best on your channel. It's sad that the monument for the Native Americans is not better maintained.

First off, you misspoke when you said Emily came to New Washington in 1865, I think you ment 1835., honest mistake. Second the fact that Bollard recounts a veteran of the battle of San Jacinto relating the story of the Yellow Rose on a steam ship in 1842 suggests the legend existed in 1842, unless of course you're suggesting that Bollards journal is a forgery, which you do not in the video, although you later state it is suspect without explanation. If Bollards journal is authentic, it doesn't matter when it was published. Unless Bollard has a reputation as a lier, I submit he was relating a story told to him by a veteran of the battle, which would indicate the central seed of the legend existed in 1842, only 6 years after the Texas Revolution . Third you state Tolbart called her the Maid of Morgan's Point. I live near Morgan's Point and it is no where near New Washington, it is on west Galveston Bay not far from San Jacinto, and has an important history of that area even before the revolution. If Tolbart found original lyrics, which is unsubstantiated, I suggest a hunt for this amongst his papers be attempted. Perhaps you are suggesting Tolbert lied about this? Perhaps Emily ended up in Morgan's point on Galveston Bay or perhaps that was a different Emily. Either way the central legend existed in 1842 if Bollards account is true. I have found that the central seed of most legends is usually rooted in some kind of truth. Knowing the history of song writing it is common for songs of the period to be stolen adapted and rewritten to suite the new version to the current time. You have exemplified this in the modern rewriting of the lyrics. I will stick with the legend that the Yellow Rose was a soiled dove that did in fact keep Santa Anna occupied at the prescribed moment in history at San Jacinto. The changing versions of the song are of no surprise as it still goes on today, just ask the rock bands that have been sued for stealing songs from old blues singers and publishing their versions as their own. But that is a story for a different video 😎. The Yellow Rose of Texas, helped win the battle of San Jacinto, in lore...

Informative, playful and visual. Thank you very much for showing us some important bit of history.

Good video 👍🏼

Private land ,that really stinks. Do you have to own the land the people walk on?

I love these stories of the old west. The reservation system was necessary to stop the Indians from killing each other as well as the Whites. It is a shame that the reservations were not given the resources promised, or it might have worked out better.

In Wyoming, Nevada, and many other Western and Mid Western States , there are today in 2024, 150 years after this all happened, huge, hundreds of miles long tracts of basically empty, unused, unoccupied lands. No farming, no ranching, nothing.All once Indian Lands, but no more, they were driven off it. And it is clear that it was NOT because anyone "needed" the Land ,as 150 years after the fact, it is still not being used for anything.I think this reality is a very sad commentary on what was done to the Indians .You can say whatever you want, but it simply doesnt hold water to say it was because anyone " needed" that land more than the Indians did.At least the Indians actually lived on it and used it - which is more than can be said for these huge expanses even today.

We should never have messed with the native Americans in the first place. Leave em alone ! But the history of the world is of one group of people not minding their own business but instead bothering their neighbors and waging war. Thus is the world.

When you show a photo of Dull knife use his photo and not Little Wolf

The rifles that the Cheyenne left behind or were lost in the battle were collected and thrown onto the fire of other Indian possessions after the battle according to the landowner who talked to our group when I visited the area on a tour many years ago. I believe she said either her father or grandfather took the remnants of the old weapons and with the help of a welder turned them into some sort of agricultural harrow.

EXCELENT PRESENTATION!I WONDER IF THE PAWNEE AND CHEYENE GOT TO KEEP THEIR CAPTURED HORSES.

Accurate report, congrats! I walked the Battlefield some 44 years ago, myself and a friend. I will never forget that location and the beauty there and the history.

Great video again, thank you!

Thanks

J'y étais en Août 1989...... Magnifique voyage..................

This was my relative and L H. always claimed his innocence. I don't understand why there aren't a bunch of movies that depict his gang. In one magazine, they called him the leader of the greatest crime syndicate the West has ever known. He stole horses and cattle from Colorado to California. It's rumored his nickname was "Mushy." That was my nickname in high school because my cousin said I was just as crazy as him, lol.

I enjoyed the video. This is the first time I ever heard an explanation for the name "Yellow Hair" and it makes sense. I don't understand why you said about the shooting/killing "what happens next is more of a scene of fiction than an actual event"? There are several eye witness accounts and there is no doubt that Cody killed Yellow Hair in single combat after they both fell from their horses, and took his scalp. He may have exaggerated the event in reenactments but the basic facts are true. The scalp was confiscated from Cody's family in recent years.

Great short video, appreciate your efforts

Indians were well known for generally not being very good shots

Well done. I have been to that site twice, and you have shown the area as it is.

Great job! Love it, thanks. :)

The song about Tom Dula was written by Thomas Charles Land in 1868. The Kingston Trio were the ones who sang it and made it the most popular in the 50s.

I grew up on a ranch about five miles from Jay Em. In the late 50's and 60's My dad would take me to Jay Em to visit with Lake Harris at the general store. They always had some great stories about the town and surrounding areas of Jay Em. I was always treated with a grape soda and sometimes a fudgsicle if I behaved. Jay Em was also the home of the 4-H overnight camp that was held every July. I learned how to safely shoot a .22 rifle, which came into good use when I was in the Navy. When I go back to visit, I always try to make it there and show my family Jay Em. Lots of good memories of such a great little town.

Well done 👏🏼

I genuinely appreciate your comment about the authenticity of the Red Cloud statement. I am not a deep researcher so your insight is valuable. Thanks.

I believe Red Cloud said: "The white man made us many promises...more than I can remember. And he only kept one. He promised to take our land...and HE TOOK IT!" Incredibly poignant.

The story I heard was that Santa Anna often seduced women with his large eight sided four room tent & all the extravagant accoutrements. Then send them away when he was tired of them. Emily was, apparently, different. Santa Anna was so enamored that he refused to leave his tent. Emily knew she must keep him entertained & convinced another captive to escape & alert Sam Houston’s army. Houston’s army numbered 900 men compared to Santa Anna’s 1,300 men. The battle ended in 18 minutes with Houston’s army triumphant & the battle cry, “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad! God and Texas!” Santa Anna was said to have turned tail & ran, clad only in his underwear & a pair of slippers.

GOOD PRESENTATION,I FIND WESTERN HISTORY INTERESTING.

Pleasure working with you Boss 🫡

Thank you for this informative video again. I like the history of Wyoming, especially in the times of Red Cloud. Greetings from Germany.

Thank you very much for making this! A great summary of an important part of the Yellowstone story!

Thank you for not being a robot voice...

Man my inital thought when I Realized you were going to go in and discover what transpired was like oh my god as someone who's come to know the history for quite awhile are you ever in for the horrific shock of your life when you find out what happened, it''s honestly one of the most outraging events to ever happen in the united states and it's history. You know most of us, I'm 38 now but I learned when I was much younger but my generation was largely as naive a new born about labor history and had no idea like I grew up in a town where the local grocery store was unionized so even in childhood I had seen workers go on strike, strikes were the exception though they were definately not the norm and I had seen them picket Fred meyers as a kid and I had assumed that it might be hard to get the union to agree to go on one but that we had always had the right to provided we convinced the rest of our union coworkers. Bu nooo... What happened taught me that the history of labor is covered in blood and that our Freedoms and rights that we take for granted even today were literally the product of hard fought battles that at times the ultimate price was paid in sacrifice for the rights to.

The Best Quality of this 👍song is by Wilf Carter 👏,Good backstory,👋

Good video,are there any books about this

l used to think this song is from the US cavalry in Civil War. Thank you for telling the background story.

Qante heer thee videeo

To qiet i cant hear it

The Lieutenant's name was Beecher not breacher he was a relative of Harriet Beecher Stowe

I heard they thought they had cannons in the fort that’s why the Indians wouldnt attacked because they were terrified of those cannons

Who's the guy reading this? Great story, and I love Ft. Casper's history, but they could have found a better reader.
