    Not mentioned in these tales or in most history in general is the fact that the indian tribes weren't so much trying to keep the white men and other indian tribes out of their territory as they were trying to protect their monopoly on access to the furs in that area or, as in the case of the Iroquois, they used white man's muskets to keep the tribes further West who actually trapped the furs from trading directly with the white men. They fought fiercely to maintain their monopoly as middle men.
    The white trappers described in these stories were usually attacked, not because they were in the indian's territory, but because they were TRAPPING the beavers and trying to cut the indians in the area out of the line of trade.

      We'd like to cover everything, some gets lost in the process of editing the story. But this is very important point, people often conflate later conflicts over settlement with conflicts over what essentially boils down to economics. Thank you for contributing to the conversation, our goal is to share these stories accurately and charitably. We will pin this comment so hopefully more people can read it! God bless!

      Indeed, I really appreciate the lack of Hollywood spin. However, I must correct one point in the above video. John Colter hid from the Blackfeet by diving into the water, and emerging inside the interior of a beaver lodge, not a beaver dam. Many years ago I read a first hand account of his famous run, told by Colter himself (most likely written down by someone else, because it is thought that Colter could not write). In this account he stated that the beavers inside their lodge, were slightly aggressive to him initially, but they did move and make a space for him. I have a mental picture of these astonished beavers trying to figure out who or what, was this creature who had invaded their lodge.

      As to the bit with Jedidiah Smith. If they had understood the culture of the natives they were dealing with, and treated their chiefs with more deference they could have avoided the massacre. But they just didn't understand that some people you just can't insult... Probably didn't realize they had been insulting and they paid for it with their lives. It still happens today between cultures all around the globe.

    Hugh Glass died as he lived. A man of action. And Gardener properly avenged his mates. I salute both for the men they were. Men of courage, bravery & action. I'm a 55 yr old Texan, former military & law enforcement. I have met very very few real men in my life. How many men today have the grit, courage & fortitude of Hugh Glass, John Colter, Jim Bridger, Jedidiah Smith, Kit Carson, James Beckworth, William Henry Ashley, David Crocket, William Sublette, Jeff Turner, Marcus L. Sewell, James Bowie, Andrew J. Sowell, William B. Travis, Andrew Jackson, Lewis & Clark? How many men in America today can run a line of traps, endure hunger for days on end, skin & treat animal skins, make moccasins & clothes from treated skins, live off of what nature provides, & are prepared to take life if necessary to preserve & protect the lives of their own? The American male of 2023 is largely an embarrassing degradation of the men who defeated the mighty British military & fellow loyalists to establish our Republic in the 18th century. We are no longer men of steal, but soft. David Goggins is a modern day example of what real men should aspire to be in terms of courage & fortitude with a warrior mentality. Stay hard, & if you're soft, get hard!

      All the stuff you mention I do on a regular basis except the taking life of another man. That’s something that lays heavy on a man’s soul. I’ve had to defend myself and been there and done that and it weighs on me daily but I’d do it again to save my family or my own life without thinking. I’d do it again with a smile on my face over my wife and kids. The only thing I could think the night my ordeal took place is it’s him or me and I didn’t start this, I wasn’t robbing him. I do run a line of traps and enjoy every second of the trudging through the mud and ice or plowing through the thickets just nature and me. I find grace in my solitude in the woods. If you can watch a day come alive and go to sleep and not believe in a higher power I truly believe there’s issues inside somewhere. I raised my kids the same way and taught them where their food comes from. We raised our own meats and they was part of the harvest hands on. They’ve all ran traps with me and most run a line of their own these days. Thank you for your service sir. I was unable to serve due to a replacement eardrum and a blown out knee by the time I turned 18.

    Losing 75m buffalo, which fertilized and aerated soil as they migrated has changed entire landscapes. Similarly, we’ve discovered that whales are critical to fertilizing the ocean floor. It was economically foolish to allow the herds to get so small. Had just a few million been left, they could have harvested tens-of-thousands continuously rather than losing all of them.

      The loss of Buffalo was only one aspect of our untold collective history. Many people do not realize how many great fires there have been throughout history. The Great Lakes region was once so thick with trees that it was difficult to tell whether it was night or day underneath the canopy. Unfortunately it was intentionally burnt down from lake michigan to lake huron, just to remove the native population. Unfathomable amounts of wildlife, plants and fungi were lost. All of these things happened collectively to destabilize the ecology and food supply of the indigenous. In fact the entire continent of America was a permaculture food forest. But the settlers who wrote history didn't have a word for permaculture so they couldn't understand it until modern times. All they knew was conventional agriculture which lacks sustainability. When you look into the history of every city, big or small, in America, you will discover they all burnt down at one point. Then to go one step further look into the architecture of each city. Then try to explain how the population could have built what you see. Given that there was no electricity, no power tools, a smaller population, minimal transportation, etc. And yet every cathedral, university, railroad, bridge, canal, capital, and town was somehow built within 1 - 30 years. Immediately after removing the native population. While enduring wars, famines, a great depression, slavery, mental institutions, etc. All of that seems highly questionable. Our history is greater than any fantasy ever conceived. And the mainstream narrative was constructed in order to prevent humanity from remembering our full potential. Good luck on your quest for truth, and restoring the old world.

      I once chased a badger that ran out in front of the tractor while plowing. I was 12 or 13 and without thinking stopped the tractor, grabbed a 12" Cresent wrench and took after it. It was now running on firm oats ground which helped me get closer and closer. Badger reached his hole, which I didn't know about, did a 180 to face me and let out a nasty snarl along with a show of teeth. I remember looking at my "weapon" and thought "This is a bad idea". I immediately started backing away slowly, allowing the badger to put one in the "W" column. 🤣🤣

      Swimming under the ice and spending the night inside a beaver dam. Then swimming back and walking 11 days to "safety" only to find everyone there slaughtered. Some of these guys must've had iron tough immune systems. I would've had hypo-thermia and/or pneumonia within a couple days max.
      George Washington was another tough one. He got dunked in a river with ice slabs, then climbed onto one and rode it for a day or night. Another guy was with him and they huddled together on the ice slab for some warmth. Its been a long time since I read that story so I likely got some detail messed up. IIRC George and buddy were trying to escape either Indians or British or both. They certainly had motivation to escape somebody.

    8:22 Hugh glass couldn’t chase them because they joined the military as a scout. That is factual. He didn’t ever get to kill him though. He was protected by the military. The only thing the move got wrong was the child and knife fight. But he definitely did not forgive. He had no choice but to move on.

    My family (my sister, her partner and brother in law) participate in hunting competitions. They select the animals they target based on the prizes offered by each competition.
    They have a fairly accurate idea of where the animals will be at any given time of day. A level of management comparable to farming.

    This breed of men. the mountain men, were a bunch of wild and wooly men that lived with death by poison, hunger, Native tribes like the Pawnee, the Blackfoot, Lakota, and others. A simple cut could fester and kill you, as well as any other injury. If his horse was stolen or lame, it was a death sentence. Why did they do it? They wanted to see "the Elephant", or the " High Lonesome ". They disliked civilization or could not keep out of trouble in it. Many reasons, but all of them wanted the land west of the Mississippi river to remain a wild and natural place. They all lived like the natives, using every part of an animal they killed, left nature as is, and loved the feeling of being the first white man to ever see a river or a valley, lush with lakes and high grass. Amazing is too poor of a word for them.
