    This narrative is extremely interesting and well done. It is immensely helpful that you have included maps and actual videos of the locations and terrain where these events occurred. Congratulations on a thoughtful and accurate depiction of the story and events.

    I have been enjoying your series on the Indian Wars. You bring unbiased perspectives to locations and known actions at the scene. 50 years trying to understand what took place it’s been helpful watching your videos. Most fascinated thinking of the men clinging to Reno Hill the night just after the battle, the natives celebrating in their village just below.
    Your narration brings an authentic quality, reflecting a true passion project. Hiring others makes it feel corporate affiliated 😊

      This a comment/ question from Guildford in England. Why do whenever you do these historical native films, do you insist in getting narrators with voices that speak deeper than Lee Marvin? People want the narrator to sound like he knows what he’s talking about, not that he has a voice deeper than Lee Marvin.

    I am a Custer Buff and still learned many things from your episodes. Huzzah! for your effort. I look forward to seeing the rest. As you have asked, I have some comments.
    Your choice of movie clips, etc., are excellent and while not always authentic, do illustrate events and the environment.
    The voice actors are good quality and it breaks up the sound of your narration. One pronunciation could be looked into. The Lakota name for Whites is Wasitchu- Wah-SEE-chu, rather than Wah-see-CHU. A native speaker might clarify.
    I know there are technical and economic limitations to mapping, but I found your use of graphics against the photographic maps to be hard to follow. I could not always tell which movement the narrator was describing. Is there a way to animate the arrows and movements to correspond with the narration? Better are simpler the Park-Service-style maps. Again, kudos for the fine effort.
    I like your ground truth scenes with the selfie stick. I have a better sense of scale than with just a wide shot.

    Great series. I've been following a lot of the Old West on a podcast but I like to see video as well. Especially to put an actual face to the names. In fiction stories imagination is fine but not non-fiction.
    I would rather hear just one, consistent voice instead of 2 for your story narration.
    Your voice breaking that up is fine.
    If you are ever looking for more voice over options let me know.

    Enjoying the series, and the voice actors were okay, but to tell you the truth I think it would be just as good if you did it yourself, that would provide kind of a single voice to tie it all together. Maybe if you read bits of first-hand accounts or quotes you could use another voice to differentiate. But I think most of us are here for the video and on location observations.

    people need to get it out of their heads that sitting bull or other chiefs "told other indians what to do" they totally ignored his stuff "do not rob the soldiers" the other indians said "sitting bull was running along with the women and children to get the hell out"
    another preposterous part of misinformation from history "he has great vision soldiers falling in upside down THE FACTS ARE he also said the same thing of indians falling upside down.
    they had just did the rosebud and powder river they KNEW they were being chased. and in the huge encampment sitting bull knowing what was coming "I will cut strips off my arms and make great predictions" "then run with the women and children" even the indians said "we simply saw him running off with the women and kids to the north" they totally ignored his "do not take items from the soldiers" because Sitting bull was older and knew the great battle that would take place but he KNEW this was an advanced civilization he and Chief John Grass said "dont defile them" that is why after the battle they went south and simply marched left over to the reservations. Crazy horse and Sitting Bull 'sweated it out for a bit"

    You paid money to a 'voice actor' who wound up using an AI voice - something you could have just done yourself for free. I would have been pissed off and demanded my money back if I was you. Imagine ordering a meal from a professional chef. A meal you don't have the ability to prepare yourself. And the chef just delivers you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, something you could have just thrown together yourself. That's basically what that voice actor did to you.
