The Way you tell a story always strikes me both factually and emotionally. I never really understood the show of force in the arrest of Sitting Bull but then the US military wanted to crush any chance of rebellion or hope.

The more I study this, the more the hook is set in me.

@ I took a group of teenagers out to Pine Ridge and we worked in Manderson a small community not far away doing renovation on some houses. It was difficult. We were outsiders. And after being there, I understand why they resented us even though we were there trying to help. The pain around that place is palpable. There was a little store in Manderson where we used to send blankets for winter - keep sharing the history of this place.

I really enjoy your channel Cory! Glad to find people who appreciate history, all history. It deserves to be passed on.

Thank you for this. Concise and emotional history. As I live in the Dakotas these moments in time still resonate. Whether anyone know or understands them. 20 years ago, a side story, I went to sheep mountain table in the badlands,SE of Rapid. Got out of the 4x4, and after approaching the rim of a gulley, several hypersonic bees began wizzing about my ears. It was a nice view, but the 4 of us decided it was not a tourist area! Thank you for bringing this history to light. All my relations. Ghosts never die.

Thanks for all the videos out West ...off topic I apologize but wondering if you could cover the SIBLEY SCOUT that took place in early mid July 1876 ....Crook sent Lt Sibley and 25 handpicked men along with Frank Girard and Bat Pourier as guides and a packer whose name escapes me on a scout to find Crow allies and look for the Sioux and Cheyennes....it's helluva story
