Listening to this content creator is "unintentional" ASMR, so relaxing

[@chrisruiz1215]

Awesome stories! Thank you

Hey Scott, enjoyed your presentation, and you are a wonderful storyteller!! Excellent job. I too am from Mason and grew up with your cousin Paul as my best friend. He and I rode the James River Country and Llano River exploring for Indian artifacts. I was captivated with the Herman Lehman story and found it totally fascinating. Our forefathers were brave men back in the old frontier days of Texas. If you were out on the Texas frontier back then and the Apaches or Comanches showed up, you better have your Daisy pumped up.

Rest in peace Mr. Korn, you will noy be forgotten.

A narrative from a new England captive is similar in stating that her life as a captive was easier than that of a settler woman working around the clock for basic sustenance. A life if endless toil much harsher than as a captive when she was eventually adopted into the tribe.

They did all they work. The men just hunted and fished. You could be beat at anytime, might be 4 of you married to 1 cheif, Squaw auctions were a thing, fathers decided who would marry you.

​@@nathanembry9245 You need to study about Native Americans. The women were helped by the males, when men weren't hunting. But the men had to hurt to provide food. I worked with the Sioux. People misunderstand Native Americans. There are other cultures that have more than 1 wife. It makes it easier on just 1 wife. As whites, a few would hit their wives. Schools don't teach truth.

[@suedearing-ex7ve]

This is so interesting. I wonder if some of them ran away to rejoin their former tribes.

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

Most all wanted to return to the Indian way of life. Some did attempt, and some probably made it back, but I have no documentation. I am sure the author knows.

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

Found this: Fort Mason, TX. Comanche chief Katemcy at one point turned over two white captives aged 11 and 12, and again bringing them back when the captives ran away from the fort to reunite with the Comanches.

[@suedearing-ex7ve]

Thank you for replying. This gets even more interesting. So good to know children adapted and wanted to be with their tribes

[@bmohin]

very interesting

[@lesterandrews1894]

That was wonderful. I loved listening to you tell this story.

[@RedEdgedSavage]

Thank you for the video.. any others with information about the other tribes close to the same areas as Comanche and Apache? Maybe Kiowa.. Tonkawwa

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

Yes, I do not have a list, but there are many books/resources that cover other tribes. Try Google.

[@lewisorely]

I knew momo parker, from abilene, tx. She was old then but she was a great granddaughter of Quanah Parker

[@Finella2638]

Great story to listen to. Thanks!

[@derfred1262]

This was fascinating. Thank you!

Cynthia Ann Parker is part of my ancestry in Elkhart Texas

[@carllove3705]

I've bought and read that book featured at the beginning of this video called "The Captured" and it is awesome. I've read it several times now and it just captivates me every time I read it. I first read it on my iPhone through the iBooks app, but I liked it so much that I read it about three times, and finally looked for it on line and bought the hard cover edition of the book. I have no doubt that I will read it many more times in the future.

[@stevevasquez1084]

Do a story about charlie Macomas.

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

I will see if we can find a local historian to tell they story in front of our camera. In Feb 2008, Wild West Magazine featured an article on Charlie.

[@doop6769]

The channel, Dates and Dead Guys, does a more in depth telling of Herman's story and is definitely worth checking out.

[@RedEdgedSavage]

Was he renamed " Peaches" by the tribe ?

[@Gage_Preston_OroGrandeG]

Today Hollywood portrays them as victims...

[@WyattHype]

Most captives were killed along with their entire families You make it sound like white children, especially wanted to stay with these people, but the fact of the matter is there are 100s of books written about this stuff Very few of them made it home alive and the ones who did spilled the beans about a life so grotesque they counted their lucky stars every day after coming home.

[@michaellincoln3739]

How good would it be for these true stories to be made into an historical re-enactment series of the wild west. Made in the style of Dances with Wolves with compelling honesty.

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

We have a new video airing on 9-13, 4:00 PM EST, that tells the history of the Indian "Buffalo Jump." Many more buffalo were slaughtered than were harvested. The excess were just left to rot. Ken Burns did not mention this in his special on the Buffalo. (Many times history in truth is not politically correct.)

[@WildWestHistoryAssociation]

It was the only place we could interview Scott. Sometimes locations just are not perfect.

[@hanaluong2672]

Could you explain to me why some families lived at outposts (or frontier) like that? Didn't they know to risk of being raided by the Natives?

[@dal8963]

That's where you could build a life you could go out there and build a homestead and become the owner of that land you could work hard on your own land and build your own life if you lived in the settled areas and did not have wealth you worked for someone else you labored for them not yourself you struggled to ever own anything let alone enough land to have a ranch or anything substantial. The risk was great but so was the reward.

[@RaidenWard]

That land was freshely stolen from the tribes... so the gov was basically giving the land to any white people willing to move there. Most of the families were extremely poor and just wanted free land

[@PatrickDurney]

Wonderful people these native American's, why did the Europeans hate them so much, pretty obvious they savaged people not because they were taking their land its because what they always done anyway, be it the Europeans or their own kind but different tribe

[@geraldek4948]

Their purpose in life was to steal and kill and they would still be doing that today if the white man hadn't shown up

[@LukeLovesRose]

AND THAT MAKES THEM A WONDERFUL PEOPLE?? Are you being facetious?

[@waynelayton8568]

The children were much better behaved when returned

[@cultivateyourself]

Live wild and free as a Indian. Live board and safe as a white person. Take your pick.

[@WyattHype]

If the man loved raw meat so much, how come, he didn’t return to the Comanche? Oh, you left out the part where they tortured him that’s right and probably kicked him out of the tribe. Sold him for a couple muskets. Your ancestor was not a tribe member he was a bartering tool

[@vinnieleX]

Native or indigenous Americans not Indians

[@cunit80]

Yeh ok lefty robot?!

[@BruceAtkinson-e1y]

NOT indigenous at all immigrants just like everyone else who came to America. Read your history not your DEI studies

[@cunit80]

Democrats wont like this they want to and are currently professors in many colleges rn and are rewriting history and teaching these easily manipulated students into believing it.

[@daya820]

Different people had different experiences , it wasn’t black or white. No all natives were cruel.
