I am a Cheyenne. My ancestors were warriors. The idea that we were tree huggers and always peaceful is completely false and a little insulting.

Imagine if there was an actual, legit JRE book club. They'd send you books from each guest that month. I'd buy it.

I'm Native American (Navajo), Always intrigued from different stories, and stories from my peoples past are pretty intense like these. We're the biggest tribe in America, and our language is slowly dying out. To further my education In this society. My first language was English. And I have a hard time speaking and learning mine. Which is very complex and one of the most difficult. But hearing my people speak it is amazing. It's sad that we're growing, and one of few tribes that are full blooded natives still. My people are still dying from Alcohol, drugs, gangs, suicide, diabetes, jealousy, witchcraft. Our own type of War still goin on here in Arizona and New Mexico. And I'm sure other tribes in other states as well. We are all, Still At War here in America. I walk with God, and I Still Love Our Country.

My aunt was with the DOD as a public information officer. She researched Quannah Parkers life and comings and goings as well as Comanche sacred grounds. She found the proper place of his re- interment and final resting place. Then worked with the Comanche in negotiations with the army to relocate his remains to the new and more fitting resting place. She worked a ft sill Oklahoma from WW 2 until her retirement in the early 80's.

Nothing solidifies Rogan being Oprah for dudes more than him putting his seal of approval on a book and watching it skyrocket lol

[@RepJock88]

Of course the frontier was a “savage place.” I died of dysentery 27 times before I got to Oregon!

I am a Comanche from my fathers side and never knew about the tribe until my mid 30’s. Hearing stories and understand the way they lived is just different. Proud I am of coming from a strong tribe. Now I know where my spirit comes from.

I’m reading it right now. That’s why I googled Kiowa Indian history and here I am watching this video now. This book is amazingly written. It brings history into view through a realistic lense vs painting the Indian tribes as a bunch of hippies hanging out with Bambi, eating berries. Life was barbaric and this book tells the story factually and most interestingly weighted in a way that isn’t a lop-sided narrative. Well done sir. Well done indeed.

After reading this book I came to the realization that no movie has ever done the frontier full justice.

THis was my Dad’s favorite book and before he passed he gave it to me to read. On what would have been my Dad’s birthday this pod cast was released. That was quite touching. It was as if Dad was reaching out in a subtle way.

Great book. Stumbled across it about a year ago. Amazing culture and story and very well written.

[@StewartFletcher]

Literally one of the greatest, most impacting books I've ever read. Stunned me to my core what people were capable off, especially considering that this wasn't that long ago

[@davemitchell6871]

Schools need to teach American history. All of it.

[@josephpeeler5434]

"tortured...quickly or slowly--depending on how much time they had." Think about that for just a minute.

[@andrewalden8364]

I am reading this book now and I can’t say enough how good this book is. It’s amazing! It’s brutal, it compassionate, it’s history. And written so, so well!!!

[@slipnorris5882]

One of the best podcast I ever heard. It was straight to the point in story telling and crammed with a bunch of information

[@onesojourner7514]

I'm mexican, and in Mexico people (especially with a leftist bent) elevate the aztecs as noble, virtuous, people. They choose to ignore how ruthless, cruel, and barbaric the aztecs were. Every year aztecs raided other tribes, like texcocans, tlaxcalans, etc., and captured, enslaved, and sacrificed annually, sometimes thousands of them, by ripping their hearts out as it was still beating.

[@Bullish431]

You know what I love about this podcast is that people who often don’t get recognized for being brilliant get recognized and found through this podcast. Awesome guest

[@GPERZ208]

I read this book when I was 23..it speaks of the onion river in Texas. My mom was born in 1945 and used to pick wild onions on the same river banks that quannah Parker rode on only 30 years before. When I told her she was amazed at the history.

[@manwithnoplan5496]

Reading this book rn. It’s absolutely fascinating. Really gives you a sense of just how brutal life was back then
