- Montana, 1867. In the sweltering heat of a brutal high plains summer, a group of civilian contractors are busy cutting hay to be used as feed for animals inside the walls of the US Army’s Fort C.F. Smith. Suddenly, the soldiers standing guard sound the alarm: They are under attack.
The men, soldiers and civilians alike, retreat to the sparse cover of a makeshift corral-turned-fort.
For the next roughly 12 hours, they will fight for their lives against the attacking Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe warriors fighting under the command of the legendary Red Cloud. In the fight that ensues, many men will die, and those who survive will forever remember the day of what will come to be known to history as “The Hayfield Fight”.

I’m surprised you’re not in the millions of views , by far the better quality of channels. Thankyou
I think that's down to the fact there are now so many similar YT sites to choose from and most are just as good, much better than the trash forced on us by the MSM and the ridiculous woke schools who just want to make actual Americans look like the bad guys with their agenda driven hate and biased hypocrisy etc. Am I a bad person for supporting Trump? He'll save America if you let him.
Always top shelf content, thank you for your hard work!
Note the Arapaho were not involved in the powder river war or the boseman trail war as some call it. This was largely Lakota (Sioux) And some Cheyenne not nearly as many as some say. The Arapaho were also very limited in numbers at the Little Big Horn. The Arapaho were more closely tied to the Cheyenne not the Sioux and very seldom allied with the Sioux. There were only 4 Arapaho warriors at The Little Bighorn, and that is because they were taken prisoners by the Sioux before the battle and accused of scouting for the troops. They convinced the Sioux that they were coming to visit Cheyenne friends and later when the battle happened, days later they participated in it.
Well, to be fair we only have record of those 4. There could have been more. We really have no clue what happened at the Little Big Horn as there are so many variations, tall tales and narratives - that's why it is so enigmatic. It could be it just was that 4, but coulda been more. We still don't even know if there were any survivors truly, like Frank Finkel, or how Custer died and who killed him.
The “shoots far” (howitzer) had a psychological effect on the Indians. Fear of cannons was a force multiplier well above the actual effects of the cannons.
Thanks for the video.
Yesh
Another great video. Thanks 👍
Great video as always
Always great content!!
Really interesting thank you but why were you showing a flintlock while talking about a breach loading firearm?
Another great story. Love your stuff.
Great video 👍
Great video man. Great Job telling the history that isn't Hollywood or clean.
Warhawk - my horses name in RDR2. Do with this useless piece of information, what you will 👊🏼⚔️
I will tell the phantom poop this information & he will understand what you mean. 💩💩. His number, which he wouldn't give me for reasons only known to him 😠🤬, & Mr Hanky (the Xmas poo), who, btw, isn't just for Xmas, he can bring Joe aka ol' sloppy soggy dog, but it can be savage for the first time if you're not careful. Goodnight.
@@peterj5106 certainly not the strangest paragraph I’ve had the pleasure of reading.. give phantom poop & mr hanky my condolences
This a great channel for Western History, I have recommended to several people.
Excellent history.
Very good commentary.
Love these old stories.
Great story, thanks.
Excellent and Outstanding!!!!
I enjoy the trouble you go to in describing the details of the fight and the movements of the parties involved. How strange I seem to feel the battle scenes more by description than a movie
Thanks!
I could do with some too please because I live in the third world nation of the UK.
Thank you so much! So kind of you!
Enjoyed your description of this, famous Indian battle
Greetings from Apacheria in the Arizona Territories ahe'hye'e
Love the channel 🤍
Here Here!! 🎉
Thank you so much!!
Knowing what to expect from the natives, I would think any confrontation would demand any overwhelming force in numbers and advanced weapons
Thank you for the video. I appreciate your work very much! Love 💛 learning about the Indians, I always root for them, since I was a young girl. Nothings changed. Still rooting for Indians. Great podcast today! Ty.
Did you do your rooting while hearing about the mutilations and likely torture of your own people?
Why the H would you root for the brutal killers?
The idea of the noble savage is a lie. They warred with each other for many centuries before white settlers arrived. They merely found an enemy they couldn't defeat.
Women feel pity for the underdog
Thank you for not putting on an exaggerated western/southern accent, during your narration.
👍👍🇳🇿❤️
Americas Rorkes Drift it seems, what brave American men and brave natives they all were. Salute for the American Army 🪖 from a brother 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
Oh just one more thing....... Football isn't called soccer 😂
Thank y'all for this interesting episode, would'nt it not be way easier to say the allies or so than Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho? Important battle for sure, German officers of this time under fire were often daft not brave. I know that. Little critic guys, the Springfield rifle isn't a repeater but just a breech loading single shot gun . Your'e damn right no Indian knew that. But Custer and his troops were wiped out blame to the rifles lock which blocked the not well made cartridges after some shots. This men were lucky and you showed it very well! God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.
⚔️💛⚔️
10:56 bruh that's a Model 1840 Springfield flintlock that was out of use before the civil war.
You want the Model 1873.
I would think it would be the 1865 since this battle happened in 1867. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
👍
The Comanche would have raids on full moon nights,,,,,,,,,,but it seems most other tribes would not fight at night, with the numbers the Warriors had, seems like they would have taken them at night if they had tried. Didnt they learn about these rifles in the Fetterman fight ????This fight was like Beecher Island fight,,,,alot against a little = Standoff,,,,them 50 at Beecher Island could shoot . I wish someone would make animated Movies of all the Indian War's,,,like Johnny Quest,,,,but far more advanced these day's,,,,and Lewis and Clarke,,,, Jedadiah Smith movies also,,,,,, that would be Cool !!!!!!!!
Was Sternberg a former Prussian soldier? I’m asking based on the picture you used to represent him, what with the pickelhaube and everything
That photo is not a picklehaube but a model 1881 U.S. army dress helmet. The US army adopted the Prussian style dress uniforms during the time. And yes, strangely enough, Sternberg was a previous Prussian 2nd lieutenant prior.
Oh wow, that’s cool, thanks for the info, I didn’t know that. I guess I was right (about him being Prussian) and wrong (about the helmet) 😅
Wagon box fight video coming soon I hope!
You know 🫡
Show the correct rifle next time.
We did.
Nobody understood War more perfectly than the Comanches Apaches😊 And the Texans
Easy to romanticize native cultures, until you hear of the horrors committed. Appreciate your friend.
I wouldn’t romanticize either side. Those people were the owners of the land for millennia, and they reacted without much mercy upon another group who acted also without much mercy to land and resources they felt entitled to.
Owners of the land? Do you think the world was going to leave North America to a few million natives?@@Deletedcommentfactory
@@scottw5315 Not even close to what I said
No doubt. There was little to romanticize. The plains Indians were no different than huns or Mongols
@@dindu551 ? Whatever THATS supposed to mean? Perhaps they were human, no different than your ancestors of the day were.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Only took 1000 to beat 81..lol
Go the Irish. My Tuatha
Well done as always. Thank you for your work.
