I agree!

I am in total agreement. It was so much easier to really get involved emotionally and hold that feeling. I have skipped videos from annoying music that I didn't think matched the level of tension. This was truly a good way to do the reading.

he also doesnt link sources :( dislike

I feel like Disney will be butchering it soon

​@@jaygee2759 I though the natives were Sioux? !

That book is so fun. There was so much awesome stuff I cut out and the video is still 27 minutes.

A very good book!

I agree. Instead of the woke bs revisionist they read about now.

Gov. DeSantis removed this book from book shelves in libraries and schools in Florida.

They joined forces with the US Army and the Mexican Army and everybody else to overtake the Apaches. The Apaches fought against every other race of people all at once and are still here.

Typical Texan. Nobody asked but you just had to throw your ten gallon hat in there. Yeah, the Comanche were terrifying, you'd see them coming across the plains on horseback and go "oh fuck!" You never saw Apache.

@@stevekowalski4348 First off, I wear a ball cap with my college alma mater nicely stitched on the front. Second, I never said anything about "seeing" an Apache, though my mother-in-law is part Apache. Third, like most Texans, I was taught Texas history, which covered the native tribes of Texas. The Apache were formidable but, the Comanches were a war machine. Last, I think you're just jealous of Texans...haha! Go on ahead with your snide comments, Polski.

No doubt the Apache and the Comanche felt the same way about the white men who felt they had the right to invade and take over their country. It's all relative.

@@stevekowalski434810 gallon hat 😂😂😂

Herman Lehman is a typical German name, are your ancestors from Germany.?

way cool

@@abbmichael866 Abb Michael is a ...... umm - what is that ? Inca ?

@@abbmichael866 He was definitely German.

He mentions the book at start of video.

I did my best to do it justice, but the Lehmann’s book, Nine Years Among the Indians, is wonderful. I highly recommend it. If you have an audible subscription, it is included in the membership. If you read e-books, you can find it for like $3. I left a lot out to condense the story.

Quanah Parker was not Apache and no Indigenous People didn't adopt anyone -COMANCHE NATION

Quanah Parker was half white himself!

@@CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC707 That's a complete made up story by European people because Quanah so so educated. Whites try to say the same thing about me because I'm so much more brilliant than any Caucasian alive. -COMANCHE NATION

@Conway Twitter Parkers mother was never captive. Another European made up Trumps getting arrested. -COMANCHE NATION

That part of the book gets me. It is beyond anything I could imagine. And the same people who took him became his family. In the book, after Carnoviste dies, he talks about how he was his closest friend. I really tried hard to do it justice. I have a horrible ear for tone and music but I hope it worked in the video.

@@datesanddeadguys nah your just hating on yourself. The way you tell the stories is perfect. Like I get excited watching them. Your passion comes through and it registers. I've been wanting to start my own channel for a while (different subject matter) And these videos are inspiring me to finally do it haha

@@datesanddeadguys what a complicated predicament culturally. These same people who tortured me are the people that I love. It's like a spiritual Stockholm syndrome or something. Took a special soul to endure all that and rise to the occasion.

That’s awesome. Good luck. It’s a grind but it’s fun.

Absolutely. What a hard relationship to understand. But it is bizarre the number of cases of people kidnapped by Indians that prefer that life. What is that? I genuinely want to know.

Thank you.

@@datesanddeadguys excellent video by the way!

Such a shame many don’t know this great read!

Very interesting - thank you!

Loved the story. Thank you.

I just read the synopsis. Imagine being held captive 18 months to find your husband remarried because he thought you were dead. Holy moly.

@@datesanddeadguys Right?

The series “The Son” used a lot of Herman’s story.

A very good friend of mine named Jamie Frazier looked indian w blue eyes.. (unmistakable) & tan year round..lol

@@philipberry1633 Europeans have not been here for 6 or 7 generations. The 7th generation will fall -COMANCHE NATION

Yes, Native stories, not INDIAN stories

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate it, thank you. A lot of work went into this one.

I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

That is about the best compliment I can get. I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you thank you.

I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

Love to hear it. Happy you enjoyed the story.

Fair. I had thought about it. The video was getting real long and I was working hard to not get in the weeds.

Yeah yeah white people always try to connect to quanah Parker. I don’t know why you always want to connect to the Comanche who would rape kids and grandmothers, while they were impaled no less

Hollywood would screw it up.

What a life. He died in the early 1930s. It’s so crazy that there are likely people alive today that met him. One person away from first hand accounts like this.

Hey Mud... Visited Perth & Fremantle. You guys treated this Yank as one of your own. Wonderful towns. G'day!

The first person (a female) known to be kidnapped by Natives was by the Delaware Indians way back on the east coast at the beginning of the country (1600s). She was stolen from her family and never returned.

The whore is pregnant!

@@laura4dsunshine 1600s isn't the beginning of the country. That was the beginning of European nations exploring and colonizing the New World. The beginning of the USA would be soon after the French-Indian War when the seeds of revolution and self governance were being sewn.

My life is so easy. One of my favorite discussion questions is “How much money would someone have to give you to go back to the year 1900 and live out the rest of your life?”… There is nothing you could give me. I am safe, fed, and I have everything I need. Plus I have antibiotics, clean water, modern healthcare and surgery, modern transportation, the internet, air conditioning, heat, I can outsource anything I can’t do (within reason), and KZfaq how to do anything I want to do myself. What a different world just 120 years ago.

I have used a handful of tracks on repeat through the Apache series. I am happy to hear they add something. They are stock music tracks through StoryBlocks. If you want a list I can send them over to you but I have not been able to find them outside of the software.

@datesanddeadguys oh that would be awesome, thanks!

I picture these as campfire stories. If I had the filming prowess to do it, it would make a great backdrop. Thanks for watching!

That’s very kind. Thank you. These stories are fascinating to me.

Let's hope the art of storytelling is making a comeback, God knows there has to be more to the Internet than the censorship, greed and abuse we're currently experiencing!

Sure, but also capable of violence, savagery, butchery, tribalism, slavery and genocide. Not making a judgement per se but I don’t want to hear ONE word about white ‘oppression’ when the natives oppressed many others for CENTURIES. There is no moral high ground to take when it comes to history.

@@mogznwaz one thing that differentiate them from whites though. letting alone the kidnapping, they fully assimilated and integrated anyone in their culture. White kidnapped, but nope, they didn't integrate anyone.

@@mogznwaz I understand your point when both sides have military power, but I have to ask to make sure you are not covering for another motive here. Do you think white oppression applies to slavery of black people then? Or should they have "pulled up their boot straps" by now? Cuz I have a feeling your politics is affecting that statement, not objectivity. Cuz someone else committing a crime does not give another the right to do it. If I am wrong about you then great, I apologize if that is the case

@@mikesmollin2043 What other ‘motive’ is there? My point is that all tribes, in all places and times, have warred and enslaved and conquered other weaker peoples.. This has been the historical default. European imperial powers were also in their turn also the victims of otter imperial powers. Native Britons were conquered and enslaved and integrated into invading Saxons, Normans, Vikings, Romans and others. No doubt the resulting people had learned the lessons from this history and decided they would never be ‘the conquered’ again. Why is that history of oppression and war and enslavement and emancipation any less important than more recent ones? The consequences of each have had their own myriad ripples. Sitting there and going on about oppression and reparation or whatever just doesn’t hold any water because, you know, what makes them so special?! I consider it a huge positive that slavery is no longer legal nor considered morally neutral. Be grateful to live in the first era of history where that is so.

@@mogznwaz You didn't answer my question, I did not ask if you thought slavery was ok, do you think that white oppression has no sense being taught when it comes to slavery in this country. Or do you think there is no moral high ground there cuz natives sold slaves so that justifies whatever white people did? that is what I am asking cuz I am trying to see if you are saying that actually from an objective position, or if it is politically motivated. History can be objective, but the political issues of a country are unique and tied to that stuff in a personal way. For example, many cultures have done slavery, but in the USA it is a uniquely sensitive issue when it comes to black people, and you can't just point at another example of slavery somewhere else and say it's not a race issue, it's all good now. Cuz i get the sense you are taking this position for right leaning reasons. If I am wrong, then I am sorry, I am asking if you think systemic racism is a problem in modern day, or is it not real?

Not really he tried to escape from his fwmil6, he wasn't happy. He ended up living on the reservation towrite his book.

@@somniumisdreaming say what? I just read both his books what are you talking about. He was "nurtured" under savagery but his "nature" brought him back to somewhat normalcy. Granted he was always a bit fucked up afterwards which is understandable as it is the single greatest case of child trauma I have ever read about but he did alright. Was kind of a celeb actually on the whole Wild Bill-esque show scene

I have not but I googled it and this dude seems fun. It seems right up my alley. Thank you.

Well did the same to rival tribes. Only reason Europeans were able to do so much is the sole fact the Natives would help Europeans to get back at rival tribes
