I'm an old long retired guy whose Grandpa was an old sourdough placer miner who also found and operated a few one man underground gold mines along the Snake River, now under water, on the Oregon - Idaho border. He dressed much like what what you portrayed with the exception that he wore a full brim steel hardhat. Thanks for the video.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Interesting!

Another great video that really digs into the topic. I did not know about miners applying laquer or whatnot to their hats to make them stiff for their protection, and with the number of videos out there about old west mines being revisited, it really shines some light on how dangerous the mines were. That back scrubber do look interesting! Thanks again Santee!

[@tomjackson4374]

I spent 30 years in construction, 22 years in concrete cutting and demo. I wore Levis every day even when the boss offered to buy other pants. They just held up better. I also wore a hardhat every day and that saved me from some serious knocks several times. In fact I also wore suspenders and had the steel toe boots. So except for the company logo tee shirt I think I wore miner gear every day. The main difference was I worked in concrete dust and not coal dust but at least we had respirators and dust masks. But you might want to give a nod to the injuries every miner, and construction worker, lives with. Bad back, lungs caked with dust, missing fingers and toes, and probably one of the worst, bad hearing. What is the most four letter word used on every job site? That would be "what?". But I like how you always stick up for the working man, the real people who built the West and made it livable for city slickers.

Slabbed, that’s what happened to my granddad back in the 1920s. A big slab of slate fell on him in the old Benham coal mines. It broke his back and hips but he still went on to woo my grandma, father 2 children and built the family homestead. He halted with canes and home made leg and back braces?

Not sure where to ask my question, so I will ask it here. At what point did American Indians start riding horses with saddles.

The old Western Movies would often show Indians riding horses with saddles that were covered by blankets. Did that ever actually happen?

Since the Spanish really introduced horses to them, they would have used saddles from the beginning. Maybe not like we think. They could have been pads of leather without a tree or other skins. If they wanted endurance for long rides something simple like a robe, maybe.
