Forts of the Frontier West--Preview

[@geoseward]

I was at Ft. Phil Kearney years ago and it was very interesting in that you could look out the front gate and visualize exactly where the Sioux and Cheyenne overlooked the fort.

Cool video but I wish it was slowed down a bit.

[@evgenys177]

[@DrawingEllipse]

Very informative thanks for making this! :)

[@harryfrank7205]

Appreciate your comment. Always nice to know folks are watching. HF

[@davemiller4852]

You go so damned fast that I’m unable to read the text and view the pictures, slow down so we all can enjoy it…..

[@robertsilva8097]

Thank you for the Great video

[@daryllamonaco3102]

thank you, well done!

[@whatsthedealwithdanny3913]

Great video. A lot of places in there. I've been to 2 of the forts in here I think. Fort Hays and I was stationed at Fort Riley. I worked on the historic section only a couple hundred yards from the Custer House. Thanks for the video.

Love American history

[@davidlee4853]

A stream of consciousness... slow your horses down partner. Nice informative project for historian novelists and souls alike.

[@davemiller4852]

Interesting but slow it down a bit, cant study photographs or diagrams and read text in the short time spent on each subject.

[@robertsilva8097]

Keep up the Great work

[@Pancito49]

There’s more to the fort’s locations on the plains than anyone has research. Locate the forts on a map, they are crescent shaped, points West. When the Indians were pacified on the plains they moved West to pasa fie the Northwestern Indians Nez Pecs.

Great video

Reading Bury my heart at wounded Knee just now so this is great to see

[@jameswalker9002]

Interesting but to fast to really enjoy it.

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks

[@raleighburner1589]

The toy forts I had as kid are way better than those featured

[@miketaylor5212]

i still have some of those forts.

[@Pasovineyard]

Too fast. Slow it down.

[@Toni62R]

+Distance Shooter Yeah, so many infos and associations - Sand-Creek-Butcher Chivington and Black Kettle just in 2 seconds....

[@harryfrank7205]

Unfortunately, the preview had to be something of a montage, just to let folks know what was in the collection. If you view the sample chapter, I think you'll see that it moves along at a comfortable pace. Maybe it will even persuade to buy the DVD.

[@Toni62R]

Thank you, at all it is a great video - and also the music!

[@petersack5074]

YOU could have, posted those still pictures, STARTING at 2:17 time, for about 10 seconds each !! Just 'flashing' them, gives us no time, to ponder their past lives.....with relation to our over indulged, complicated , lives, today.

[@mike89128]

Life for the typical US Army enlisted man during the post Civil War period was pretty miserable. Bad food, low pay, sleeping 2 men to a bed until the 1880s, candles instead of lanterns until 1880. No pension for either officers or enlisted until 1883 and 1886. Very high desertion rate, 20% 1881, no recreation facilities for off duty hours, cheated by the post trader. Court-martialed for the slightest of infractions. Barracks were ramshackle and ill built of mud and sticks. It was a very dumb soldier who put his foot down before checking for rattlesnakes under his bunk that came in through the wall cracks during the night chasing after vermin. Snow drifts in the barracks on the high plaines, and according to some soldiers in the Southwest, if it rained one day outside it rained for a week inside. Tents were erected over the bunks to stop the roof from dripping on them.

[@earthsoup3]

Slow down man, pictures went by do fast

[@mikel8638]

I second that

[@dirkbogarde44]

Fascinating but way too fast.

[@daleogle3620]

Need to slow the presentation down some.

[@tinkmarshino]

well at least you got Jim briggers fort in there I am still mad at the mormons for burning it down.. I think JIm was one of the most interesting men in the early days and what about fort vancouver? it was a trading post to start with.. but it played A vital role in the settling of the west.. the far west that is..

[@ericsimpson1176]

It would of been good if not so dam fast

[@conchocowboy]

This didn't include Fort Concho in Texas; the most completely restored indian wars fort west of the Mississippi.

[@WyomingTraveler]

I will have to check that fort for my series. Thanks for comment.

[@obandura]

alright for a super fast reader

[@notwocdivad]

That was far to rushed? could have been twice as long and twice as enjoyable!!

[@gregheller3688]

You left out Fork Harker in Kansas.......

[@camelcompany9252]

Very poorly done video. Should’ve had some narrative with all the pictures rather than flashing through them quickly as I’m sure there was lots of history on the pictures that were shown here.

[@handsome526]

[@carlruf9037]

Whoa...can barely study picture then moved to the next slide. SLOW DOWN. Must give a thumbs down.

You can't invade and subjugate those whom you've invaded and brutalised, without a good fort.

In a documentary about America why are you using a Scottish tune, a military funeral tune, called "Going Home. Culture theft yet again.
