I understood ya woman. Heh, that’s going to Lake Tahoe for us every winter. Well, if I wanted to invest in chains it would be. Glad y’all made it home safe!

Low volume and no CC. Could not understand a word you said,,, Bummer

This is great. It helps that you lull us with your deep voice and story telling accent to enlighten us about a spunky, sharp, strong little woman...Johanna July.

Dang, I’m jealous. I was on the other side of the park in October. It was pretty warm then.

War is here. Facts

Never hard of this i believe

The problem is that you all will not be truthful or you don't know the truth because Historian lied and yall continue to lie. Today those people would be considered black or African American

Please post an update in the spring when they are blooming.👍🏻

Great story. I live right here where all that took place. Thanks for a wonderful telling

Elmer Keith used to correspond with Billy's wife Olive in later years.

Another celebration of slavery. Ah, I remember being in school and learning about Texas hagiography, I mean, history ...

Looks awesome. Scale of figures ? manufacturer ?

Read "Nine Years Among the Indians," by Herman Lehmann, to learn of how Quannah Parker was the main negotiator in ending the raiding culture of the Comanche tribe. Remember that Cynthia Parker was taken as a child during a horrific, brutal raid on her family. She witnessed the brutal murders of her family. She then became the victim of "Stockholm Syndrome" which is a psychological "gaslighting" type of conditioning where the victim comes to feel sympathetic with their captor, even their torturer when that is all there is. When I learned that Quannah Parker had been the advocate who talked his tribe into giving up the way of the warrior, I was able to see some sort of positive outcome of her sad story and that of her family.

The story of the "magic shirts" is proof of the high superstition and low value of apparent reality for the Indians. Much later, during the Ghost Dance Outbreak of 1890, the Ghost Shirts were supposed to have the same power. The Battle of Wounded Knee was initiated by a Sioux medicine man who believed in the Ghost Shirts and gave a signal (tossing up dirt) that began the fight.

Terming Indian tribes as nations as if they were equal in structure and function to a European-style nation is beyond merely rich, it is ridiculous. The basics are that the situation was a clash between a settled farming-based culture and a primitive warrior culture where the warrior and the way of the warrior were the central values. This means that they warred against one another, so these "nations" were constantly engaged in "civil war," to put it in "civilized" terms. As far as the Commanches and Kiowas go, they had learned from the Spanish Missionaries that ransoming whites was lucrative. So they raided for captives that they usually ransomed long before Americans arrived. In fact, the reason that Mexico allowed Americans to settle in Texas was to provide a buffer to protect Mexican citizens who lived largely to the south. By the time the Americans arrived, this system was well established. Also, it should be recognized that before the arrival of the horse, which the Spanish brought, the tribes could not hunt buffalo as efficiently and the tribes were smaller and moved more slowly. The first tribes to get horses and learn to use them raided the ones that did not. They became a horse culture relying on buffalo exactly thanks to the European gift of the horse. The same was true regarding firearms. No civilization can bear having wild tribes running around abducting women and children and raiding and burning. As we see the invasion of America by millions of raiders today, we will be forced to remember this - or die.

That tribe is all the Mexicans

Thanks for the content. I also teach my kids our indigenous South Texas heritage. I tell them that you can pinpoint the moment in history when we transitioned from hunter gather Indians to modern day Tejanos. And that is when we got down on our knees and started praying the rosary in Spanish.

I just found your channel! I lIve in Mountain Park, OK.

Those big ones will hook ya

Adorable

Why aren't your video views increasing? And not reaching people? The reason is: 1. Your video is not being SEO properly 2. Your video is not reaching the right people 3. Not using video hash tags properly 4. Not sharing the video on social media There are a few more reasons. That's why your videos are limited to your channel. Can't get out In a word, your video is awesome. Such videos are in great demand. If you do these things correctly. Hopefully, you will get a lot of visitors. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.

Hell yeah, I'm gonna sleep good tonight!

Alright, alright, alright!!

3 years and your only st 1k subs?

This was very interesting and thank you for all your efforts in posting this great video. I subd your channel a few months ago after learning about you from Wild West Extravaganza.... another great channel. Small point...President Eisenhower was born in Kansas as was I back in the 40,s. Russ

36 likes Jesus people suck can't like something with a obvious amount of study and work but people rather like rushed pointless rubbish.it just sucks people who do nothing are doing better than people that deserve a simple click of the like button.

I love this long-form deep dive. It's been helping me fall asleep for over a week now, the tone & pacing is perfect for it; rarely takes more than 10min. Makes time fly for work & driving too, please make more of these longer ones. 🫡

My DNA results confirmed my ancestors are from this area and highly likely to be Coahuiltecan. I thank you for helping me find my root.

I came over from Wild West Extravaganza to check you out. Great video. I appreciate it.

Thank you for all the hard work that must of went into making a video/ documentary like this . Both sides of my family have been in Texas since the 1840 . My mom's family ( Caraway) settled in the Leesville, Nixon area and my father's family (Shedrock) settled in St Hedwig. With out the sacrifice and dedication of these men for freedom , there's no doubt I would not exist . I have always loved and had an interest in Texas history. I just want to thank you again. Your viedos somehow have made this feel like more than history. I dont know how to convert my fillings into written words lol I watched the hole video that says a lot on its own. I cant wait for more .

My Rides Here by Warren Zevon is about the battle of San Jacinto from the pov of two 15-16 year old Mexican soldiers retreating/hiding in the marsh. My favorite version is the live concert version performed by Bruce Springsteen

Thank you for taking the time to research and put this together. A big thanks to delving into our current battle for recognition as well as resources and connections.

This is great!

First to comment,seeing how l'ze a made 'nd raised in Texas. And a fifth generation Texican ta boot. I'm right proud to have ancestors that have bèen here since 1834. I reckon 13 years ain't too late to be invited to the ball."Let's dance"to this here Fandango!

Glad to hear you for the first time ,nice story ,well said🇺🇸

When the manuscript is ready I can send you a copy of the draft so you can read it and give me your comments. Thank you

Thank you very much for the episode. I am doing research about the karankawas to include them in a historical novel I am writing set in Texas. Keep up with the good effort. I have subscribed to your channel.

Good stuff, brother. Semper Fidelis.

I am an amateur historian & I have spoken on history (mostly WWII). Your presentation is priceless. I subscribed & I hope to hear much much more from you.

Thank you , I wish I had this history taught in school this way!

As a Proud Texian, it's an honor to leave your 1st comment, subscribe and ring that bell. God bless and stay safe y'all.

I wish the water was that clear in my neck of the woods

hey josh

hey bro love this❤❤❤

Thank you. Very interesting. It is refreshing to hear stories about good masters. Many if not most had deep affection for their slaves and felt it their duty to look out for them.

Easy listening, amazing first hand story

Thank you, Very nice presentation. It is interesting to hear so many named mentioned that have become places the Houston area. Kuykendahl, Fulshear,Staford, ect.

Excellent riveting narration, two thumbs up! 👍😎👍

I will say that anytime someone posts historical videos on a disputed event or topic then they have the responsibility to search out both or all sides before buying into only one source whether it be the traditional mainstream narrative or a revised narrative. Some history that has been made more accurate by the availability of more information includes: The Battle of Midway, The battle of Shanghai during the second Sino-Japanese conflict, The German - Soviet front following Operation Barbarossa and that doesn't begin to cover the influx of new sources that change the narrative. Some things will always remain disputed for lack of information available. Other revised narratives are just willfully misleading and counting on an audience without the initiative to question, research and verify what they say and what they source or hear out someone who has. Texas history seems to be a magnet for this. If a video just mindlessly repeats one side of a disputed topic of history then that poster doesn't know his subject. Gullible posters will own the gullible audience and there will always be that.

Thanks for recording all of this. You did a really good job of sharing lots of cultural aspects of our ancestors. I appreciate the respectful tone. Sometimes I can be very critical of Texas historians but your work is very objective. A couple things. I'm Natchitoches Indian you did mispronounce our name but not as bad as many have it's says (Naka-dish) phonetically. Also most Caddo European contact in Louisiana was early 1700s not 1800s other than that this is an awesome presentation. Thank you. I'll sub.
