John G. Bourke won the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War. He stayed in the army and graduated from West Point in 1869. Between 1869 and 1883, Bourke served on the frontier with much of that time spent as an aide to General George Crook. Bourke saw action in the Apache Wars and Great Sioux War. He clashed with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo. Bourke was a keen observer and chronicled his varied experiences. He published them in 1892 under the title of "On the Border With Crook." This book is a raw, insightful, and fascinating firsthand account of life in America's Old West.

Send us a textWhat if one man's rebellion against the military set him on a path to infamy in the untamed territories of the American West? Join us as we unravel the saga of Dutch Henry Born, a figure whose life was as wild as the frontier itself. Born to German immigrants in Wisconsin, Born's journey through the 1870s is a riveting tale of accusations, escape, and eventual notoriety. From his alleged murder charge in Michigan to his scouting days alongside George Armstrong Custer and Wild Bill Hickok, Born's disdain for authority and hunger for freedom led him to the shadowy world of crime. His turbulent encounters with the Cheyenne and clashes with law enforcement, amidst the chaotic backdrop of Ellsworth, Kansas, paint a vivid picture of a man living on the edge.Experience the high-stakes capture of this elusive horse thief as we recount the intense pursuit by Sheriff Alexander Ramsey and Undersheriff Stevens on that fateful day in June 1874. The chase across the prairie culminates in a tense standoff at Oak Creek, revealing the relentless spirit of those who sought to bring Born to justice. We'll also explore the broader historical landscape, including the buffalo hunters' encroachment into indigenous territories and the mystery of Born's alleged involvement in the Second Battle of Adobe Walls. Tune in for a captivating exploration of a complex figure against the backdrop of the American West's legendary tales and turbulent history.Support the show

Toro Sentado fue un jefe Sioux muy significativo en su tiempo. Fue un líder guerrero y espiritual que dedicó su vida a luchar por la libertad y las tierras sagradas de las tribus nativas americanas. Su asesinato puso fin a una era. Vamos a conocer su historia y los hechos que acontecieron durante su vida. Toro Sentado: Un Líder Indígena de Legado Imperecedero Toro Sentado, cuyo nombre en lakota es Tȟatȟaŋka Iyotȟaŋka, es una figura emblemática en la historia de los pueblos indígenas de Norteamérica. Nacido alrededor de 1831 en el territorio de Grand River, en lo que hoy es Dakota del Sur, Toro Sentado se convirtió en un líder espiritual y jefe de guerra de la tribu Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux. Desde su infancia, Toro Sentado mostró una personalidad meticulosa y valiente, ganándose el respeto de su tribu a una edad temprana. A los catorce años, tras demostrar su valentía en combate, su padre le otorgó el nombre de Toro Sentado, simbolizando la determinación y resistencia de un toro cuando está sentado en sus ancas. Como líder, Toro Sentado jugó un papel crucial en la resistencia de los Sioux contra las políticas del gobierno de Estados Unidos que buscaban desplazar a los pueblos indígenas de sus tierras ancestrales. Su liderazgo en la victoria de la Batalla de Little Big Horn en 1876, donde las fuerzas de George Armstrong Custer fueron derrotadas, se convirtió en un símbolo de la lucha indígena por la libertad y la autonomía. Sin embargo, la presión del gobierno estadounidense continuó, y Toro Sentado se vio obligado a refugiarse en Canadá en 1877. Cuatro años más tarde, regresó a Estados Unidos y se entregó a las autoridades, pasando sus últimos años en la reserva de Standing Rock. Durante este tiempo, participó en el espectáculo de Buffalo Bill, una experiencia que le permitió compartir su cultura, aunque también fue una representación controvertida de la vida indígena. El asesinato de Toro Sentado en 1890 marcó el fin de una era para los Sioux y las tribus nativas americanas. Su muerte, a manos de la policía lakota durante un intento de arresto bajo la acusación de instigar una rebelión, se produjo en un contexto de tensión y desesperanza para su pueblo, que enfrentaba la pérdida de sus tierras y su modo de vida. La figura de Toro Sentado sigue siendo un poderoso recordatorio de la resistencia y la dignidad de los pueblos indígenas frente a la adversidad. Su legado perdura como un testimonio de la lucha por la justicia y la preservación de la identidad cultural en un mundo en constante cambio. La historia de Toro Sentado es una parte fundamental de la narrativa más amplia de la historia de los Estados Unidos y la experiencia indígena. Su vida y su muerte son un reflejo de la complejidad de las relaciones entre los pueblos indígenas y los gobiernos coloniales y nacionales que buscaron subyugarlos. A través de su liderazgo y su espíritu inquebrantable, Toro Sentado dejó una huella indeleble en la historia y continúa inspirando a generaciones futuras a defender sus derechos y su herencia cultural.

The death of George Armstrong Custer and the destruction of the Seventh Cavalry is a touchstone for the Indian Wars. It is the one event that in many people's mind, is the touchstone for the post-Civil War conflicts with Native Armericans. We will focus on that in this episode of the podcast. The campaign to hem in the Sioux to their reservations was to be facilitated by a multi-prong advance. Rather than seeing success, the Army was blunted on the Little Big Horn and the Rosebud. The defeat had a lasting effect on the Army and did not step the colonization of the west, but it was the greatest victory experienced by any tribe in the decades long conflict. You can decide for yourself if Custer was either brave of foolhardy in his attack on the Little Big Horn. Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment? Contact us at americawarpodcast@gmail.com.

On June 25th, 1876, George Armstrong Custer rode into battle for the last time. He and his troops faced an overwhelming force of Lakota and Cheyenne along the banks of the Little Bighorn, and before the sun sank into the horizon, every man in his command was dead. When General Terry arrived two days later, the victorious warriors were already gone. The soldiers on Reno Hill had watched in awe as the large progression, stretching for more than two miles, passed them by. And when Terry and his men approached, their first question was “Where's Custer?” They'd been so busy just trying to stay alive that they had no idea their commander was dead. This news not only shook the surviving troopers to the core, but also the entire Nation. A Republic getting ready to observe its centennial now had to contend with its most celebrated hero slaughtered at the hands of so-called “savages.” As you can imagine, the reaction was swift. And in less than a year the Great Sioux War would be over, and those who defeated Custer would be relegated to life on the reservation. But what transpired immediately after the battle of Little Bighorn? What events would cause the Northern Cheyenne to finally lay down their arms? And what would Wooden Leg get up to in the years following? I think the answer might surprise you. Also discussed are the Battle of Wolf Mountain, the Dull Knife Fight, the Cheyenne Exodus, and the Massacre at Wounded Knee.

Southern Montana is the Wild West of dreams and the Hollywood big screen, sprawling over a rugged and serene landscape. After taking in the manifold treats of Wyoming, a dabble with Montana's big-skies and rock-star good looks is an essential addition to an American West road-trip. Part rough-and-tumble Rocky Mountains and part expansive prairie, the state doesn't boast any major cities – they are more like overgrown cow towns. Main Street Red Lodge: Credit Mike Yardley But if you're in need of an urban fix, your best bet is Billings, the state's most populous city – about the size of Hamilton. Nicknamed the Magic City, the moniker came about from Billings' expansive growth in the golden age of railroads, steamboats and cattle barons. The city is a springboard for historical explorations and outdoorsy adventure. First impressions count and what captured my attention on arrival in Billings is how the city is dramatically cradled by magnificent sandstone cliffs known as the Rimrocks. Deposited by an ancient inland seaway and slowly carved over millions of years by the Yellowstone River, these scenic "rimrocks" backdrop the northern edge of town. Rim Rock by Kayak, Billings. Photo / Supplied I struck out on the trails at Swords Park which offers enormous views from the rimrocks. Just keep an eye out for the rattlesnakes! Zimmerman Park and Phipps Park offer fabulous walking trails too, while if you'd rather take to the water to admire the rimrocks, hire a kayak for a dreamy float at sunset on the Yellowstone River. Immerse yourself in nature's splendour! History also adorns Pompeys Pillar, a striking sandstone monolith just of town. It's where William Clark carved his name into the stone in July 1806 before continuing his famous expedition west with Meriwether Lewis. If you're up for a culture fix, there's a good clutch of museums in Billings. I particularly enjoyed the Western Heritage Center, housed in the city's old library, proudly preserving the stories and history of the Yellowstone River Valley and Northern High Plains. Don't let the city's brightly illuminated, flame-throwing oil refineries symbolise your sense of nightlife in Billings. Bar-hopping the craft breweries is where the city excels, come nightfall. Angry Hanks Brewing. Photo / Supplied Clustered in the downtown district, hop-scotch your way from Angry Hanks and Thirsty Street Brewing Company to Uberbrew and Montana Brewing Company. Right next door on Montana Ave, Hooligan's Sports Bar will top off your all-American night out on the town. Montana Ave, which has been transformed into a very hip strip of hospitality, parallels the railroad that gave the city life in the 19th century. For the kids and kids at heart, the only thing better than a binge at the Caramel Cookie Waffles bakery is to get your fill at the gourmet ice cream store, Big Dipper. In the blazing Montana sunshine, this place is like a refuge! I highly recommend a scoop of Banana Cream Pie and tangerine sorbet. A block away, The Burger Dive dishes up creations like I'm Your Huckleberry burgers, which have been honoured by the World Food Championships. Their garlic-drenched fries will linger long in your memories – if not on your breath. Caramel Cookie Waffles, Billings. Photo / Supplied But it's that angus burger topped with smooth goat cheese, bacon, a fresh cut onion ring and huckleberry and chili barbeque sauce, that really hit the spot. Few tastes carry such revered status as the huckleberry does in the American West. They grow wild across Montana, resembling large dark blueberries and Native Americans still use them as a traditional medicine – packed with antioxidants. They certainly taste great in a burger! Where to stay? In the heart of town, the Northern Hotel is the grand dame, first built in 1940, but extensively refreshed a decade ago. You'll enjoy swish accommodations with all of the creature comforts, plus the on-site dining is superb. Enjoy a classic but upscale breakfast at Bernie's Diner. To the west of Billings, Red Lodge is a small-town gem that will charm your pants off, edging the Yellowstone River. This sweet little town is nestled in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains and lassoed by Custer National Forest. The main street, flanked by evocative old stone buildings, brims with enticements, from western-wear stores and antique shops to art galleries and great hospo options. You'll love the gift store, Montana CC Legends, which is loaded with trinkets, treasures and impressive local art. Sweet-tooths must not miss one of the best confectionary stores I have seen in a long time – Montana Candy Emporium. Think the Remarkables Sweet Shop on a gigantic scale. This Red Lodge institution has been a mainstay for decades, housed in a nostalgic building, overspilling with nostalgic candy. Montana Candy Emporium. Credit Mike Yardley The handmade chocolate treats at the counter are sinfully good, but being in Montana, it would be rude not to stock up on huckleberry candy. I loaded up on gob fills of huckleberry sour balls for road-trip sustenance. Relax in the garden at Red Lodge Ales, share a massive margarita and pizza with at Bogart's, grab a burger at Red Box Car or wind down with a steak and whiskey cocktail at The Pollard Hotel. Red Lodge is the quintessential place where you'll just want to kick-back, to shop, nosh and linger. Just out of town, treat yourself to an exhilarating drive on the Beartooth Highway, a 64-mile stretch of U.S. 212 from Red Lodge to Cooke City. Dubbed the most beautiful roadway in America, this jaw-dropping drive climbs to an astounding 11,000 feet above sea level. That's nearly as high as the summit of Aoraki/Mt. Cook. Completed nearly 90 years ago, its stature as a bucket-list drive has not dimmed – and it certainly lives up to its hype as the ultimate high-country route. Heading out of Red Lodge, I felt transported to Heidi's Switzerland, with lodgepole pine forests and lush meadows rolling down to meet the road. Before long, the ascent became stark and dramatic, thrusting you up higher and higher into the grip of the Beartooth Mountains. The sprawling range features 20 peaks higher than Aoraki. Mile upon mile of switchbacks serves up epic views across the sweeping snow-clad tundra and bejewelled glacial tarns of the Hellroaring and Silver Run plateaus. You end being higher on that highway, than the snow line on the plateaus, across the valley. At Vista Point, the plummeting views staring down into the jaws of the Rock Creek canyon is another highlight. Just pass the highway summit, the “Bear's Tooth” comes into view – a narrow pyramidal spire of rock, carved by glaciation, that became the namesake of the Beartooth Mountains. It's a cranking drive, if not a little vertigo-inducing! (Beartooth Highway is only open from about May to mid-October, depending on snow. They've had some late, unseasonal snow dumps in June and even July, in recent years, so check ahead that the road is open.) Beartooth Highway. Photo / Yellowstone Country Montana To the left of Billings, the plains of eastern Montana stretch out like a pancake, offering a more subtle beauty than the gnarly mountains to the west. A land of rolling hills, dusty bluffs and badlands, and the occasional rock-walled canyon, this is classic cattle and wheat country. Temperatures can be extreme; hot in the summer under a blazing sun, and brutally cold in the winter. Just over an hour southeast of Billings, I drove to Little Bighorn Valley. A sequence of low-slung hills rises above the valley - it is sacred ground because it's where the Battle of the Little Bighorn took place in 1876, between the US Army and Great Plains Indians. As many as 2,000 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors encircled and routed the US Army, in ferocious defence of their ancestral way of life. Perhaps there is no phrase in the English language that serves as a better metaphor for an untimely demise than "Custer's Last Stand." It was on the Little Bighorn battlefield, 800 acres of dry sloping prairies, that George Armstrong Custer and the soldiers of the 7th US Cavalry Regiment met their end. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument chronicles the history of this world-famous engagement, offering a coherent look at how the battle developed, where the members of Custer's contingent died on Last Stand Hill, and how it might have looked to the swarming warriors. It's very easy to traverse the 7km-long battlefield, driving along the ridgelines, to all of key sites. Last Stand Hill at little Big Horn: Credit: Mike Yardley The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Plains Indians, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull. They may have won the battle, but ultimately lost the war. Custer's death galvanised the military. In subsequent months, they tracked down Sioux and Cheyenne warriors and forced them onto reservations in North and South Dakota, ending their independent, nomadic way of life. Within a few short years they were all confined to reservations. Custer's remains were eventually reburied at the US Military Academy at West Point in 1877. Below the battlefield, the adjacent National Cemetery was established in 1879, and it incorporates a self-guided tour to some of the more significant figures buried there. It's an indelible encounter with the American story. www.greatamericanwest.co.nz Mike Yardley is our resident traveller on Jack Tame Saturday Mornings.

In this AI research presentation of the life of George Armstrong Custer, Atomic Dave, (aka David Boles), takes you on an adventurous history of the life of the boy general who found his end in the Battle of Little Bighorn.
James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok was the epitome of the Wild West. Soldier, spy, scout, gambler, lawman, and yes – gunfighter.

In the year 1842, a sickly 19-year-old named William T. Hamilton embarked on a journey to the Rocky Mountains accompanied by famed frontiersman Old Bill Williams. Over the course of the next several decades, Hamilton worked as a fur trapper, trader, lawman, guide, hunter, and scout. He'd ride with other notable figures such as George Armstrong Custer and General George Crook, take part in numerous engagements with hostiles, travel the west extensively, and finally – as a very old man – write a book titled My Sixty Years On The Plains: Trapping, Trading, and Indian Fighting. It's not too often on The Wild West Extravaganza that we hear from first-hand accounts but that's exactly what we're going to do today. Join me as Mr. Hamilton talks of leaving St. Louis and falling in with the fur trappers, of their encounters with Kiowa and Cheyenne and he describes, in glorious detail, taking part in a buffalo hunt. And, just as a bonus, if you've ever thought about making pemmican, Hamilton gives a pretty detailed recipe as well.

Snow is a common occurrence in North Dakota, but not in June! That's what the Seventh Cavalry endured for two cold, wet days, stuck in camp in the Badlands, while marching west from Fort Abraham Lincoln. The expedition was headed into Montana Territory, where Plains Indians would later defeat Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his men at the Battle of Greasy Grass, or Little Bighorn.

Ready for the weekend? Harry Crocker gives us another literary change of pace in his new Regnery book Armstrong and the Mexican Mystery, a re-imagining of George Armstrong Custer into an adventurer and detective. Harry and I discuss the need to use fiction to teach greater truths, and the value of sheer entertainment in a 60-second-news-cycle world. I also cover the top stories today, including Stacey Abrams' conspiracy theory about ultrasound machines, Joe Biden's lies about the Catholic Church and abortion, and the apparently sudden end to the Matt Gaetz probe at the DoJ.
In this episode, buffalo hunters Jim White, Hoodoo Brown, Prairie Dog Morrow, and Josiah Wright Moore are camped along the Salina River, preparing hides to take to the market. During the evening, just before mealtime, a hunter by the name of Hoodoo Brown tells his account of the aftermath of the Washita battle on November 27, 1868. The battle is best remembered when Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's 7th U.S. Cavalry attacked Black Kettle's Southern Cheyenne camp. Custer's forces attacked the village because scouts had found it by tracking the trail of an Indian party that had raided white settlers. Black Kettle and his people had been at peace and were seeking peace. On that day, Custer's soldiers killed women and children in addition to warriors. They also took many captives to serve as hostages and human shields. The aftermath is the December 7, 1868, story of Custer's return to the battlefield to claim the remains of the fallen and boast of his accomplishments to General Sheridan.

Today I speak with historian of the American West Mark Lee Gardner about his recent book The Earth is All That Lasts: Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and the Last Stand of the Great Sioux Nation. Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull: Their names are iconic, their significance in American history undeniable. Together, these two Lakota chiefs, one a fabled warrior and the other a revered holy man, crushed George Armstrong Custer's vaunted Seventh Cavalry. Yet their legendary victory at the Little Big Horn has overshadowed the rest of their rich and complex lives. Now, based on years of research and drawing on a wealth of previously ignored primary sources, award-winning author Mark Lee Gardner delivers the definitive chronicle, thrillingly told, of these extraordinary Indigenous leaders. Both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were born and grew to manhood on the High Plains of the American West, in an era when vast herds of buffalo covered the earth, and when their nomadic people could move freely, following the buffalo and lording their fighting prowess over rival Indian nations. But as idyllic as this life seemed to be, neither man had known a time without whites. Fur traders and government explorers were the first to penetrate Sioux lands, but they were soon followed by a flood of white intruders: Oregon-California Trail travelers, gold seekers, railroad men, settlers, town builders—and Bluecoats. The buffalo population plummeted, disease spread by the white man decimated villages, and conflicts with the interlopers increased. On June 25, 1876, in the valley of the Little Big Horn, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and the warriors who were inspired to follow them, fought the last stand of the Sioux, a fierce and proud nation that had ruled the Great Plains for decades. It was their greatest victory, but it was also the beginning of the end for their treasured and sacred way of life. And in the years to come, both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, defiant to the end, would meet violent—and eerily similar—fates. An essential new addition to the canon of Indigenous American history and literature of the West, The Earth Is All That Lasts is a grand saga, both triumphant and tragic, of two fascinating and heroic leaders struggling to maintain the freedom of their people against impossible odds.

Few names associated with the old west are as recognizable as Wild Bill Hickok. And for good reason. In many ways, Wild Bill was the quintessential westerner of the later 19th century. Wagon master, scout, soldier, spy, lawman, gambler, actor, and yeah…gunfighter. A man capable of extraordinary feats of daring and bravery, yet courteous and soft spoken when left alone, and kind to children. One of the few frontiersmen who was willing to take his guns off and go toe to toe with anyone looking for a fight. But also, a man who – even by generous accounts – was a bit too quick when it came to pulling a trigger. He could cuss like a sailor, consorted with ladies of ill repute, and would rather gamble than eat. He was Friends with other notable frontiersmen like Buffalo Bill Cody, George Armstrong Custer, Kit Carson, Calamity Jane and Inspired future legends like U.S. Marshal Bill Tilghman and countless others. A celebrity in his own time, Hickok continues to tickle the imagination of millions. From the early silent film era till now, everyone from Gary Cooper to Charles Bronson to Jeff Bridges, Sam Elliot, and Keith Carradine has portrayed this icon on the big screen. But who was Hickok really? What sorta man was he? As with many notorious characters of the old west, much of the legend is built on exaggerated claims and outright lies. But in Hickok's case the truth is even more fascinating fiction. And the truth is what aiming for today.

Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were two Lakota chiefs born in the final generation of Plains Indians who grew up in the manner similar to their ancestors: hunting herds of buffalo so large they seemed to cover the earth and moving freely with their nomadic tribes. But they always had contact with white settlers, first a trickle of fur traders and pioneers, then a flood of fortune seekers in 1874 Black Hills Gold Rush. The conflict came to a head in the 1876 Battle of Little Big Horn, in which they crushed George Armstrong Custer's Seventh Cavalry. But what happened to them after this victory?Today's guest is Mark Lee Gardner, author of The Earth is All That Lasts: Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and the Last Stand of the Great Sioux Nation. We look at the their stories and how their victory over the U.S military also marked and the beginning of the end for their treasured way of life. And in the years to come, both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, defiant to the end, would meet violent—and eerily similar—fates. They were two fascinating leaders struggling to maintain the freedom of their people against impossible odds.

George Armstrong Custer is not a source I ordinarily would cite as to geographical terminology, but let me draw attention to a hopeful distinction he makes early in his memoir, My Life on the Plains. He remarks how schoolchildren were being taught to refer to the midsection of the country as “the Great American Desert.”

Bismarck Tribune reporter Mark Kellogg has a unique place in the story of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, or Greasy Grass. Though he died in the battle, his diary and newspaper dispatches record the movements of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry's through Dakota and Montana territories in the spring of 1876.
The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty created the “Great Sioux Reservation” - comprising the western part of South Dakota including He Sapa - which was to be reserved exclusively for the “absolute and undisturbed use and occupation” of the Sioux Nation. By 1877, after the discovery of gold by George Armstrong Custer's sanctioned expedition, this treaty was swiftly broken when the Black Hills were confiscated by the U.S. Congress. Part 2 of the episode begins with a detailed explanation of the cases related to the Black Hills land claim that culminated in 1980's United States Supreme Court for the United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians case. The next and final segment of this episode discusses 1990's Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act(NAGPRA) which was enacted “to establish the rights of Indian tribes and their lineal descendents to obtain repatriation of certain human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony from federal agencies or museums.”
Los valles y barrancos que rodean el valle de Little Bighorn en Montana, ocupan un lugar único en la historia estadounidense. Durante una cálida tarde de junio de 1876, tuvo lugar aquí la última batalla de George Armstrong Custer, el querido “General Niño” de Estados Unidos, héroe de la guerra civil. Fue la contienda más famosa del conocido 7° Regimiento de Caballería y se recuerda como una de las más heroicas del ejército de Estados Unidos, mientras trataba de expulsar a los indios de sus tierras. Heroísmo salpicado por la mala decisión de Custer de hacer frente a un enemigo que le superaba en número por 10 a 1. Es la Batalla de Little Bighorn, el mayor triunfo de los nativos de las Grandes Llanuras sobre el Ejército de los Estados Unidos.Leer más: https://culturizando.com/la-batalla-de-little-bighorn-el-alto-precio-de-la-osadia-de-custer/ • CULTURIZANDO.COM/PODCAST • Podcast de Historia Bélica • Podcast en Español • Conéctate con Culturizando: Visita: https://culturizando.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Culturizando Instagram: https://instagram.com/Culturizando Facebook: https://facebook.com/Culturizando Youtube: https://youtube.com/Culturizando Trivia Culturizando: Aprende con nuestras trivias de cultura general https://triviaculturizando.com/
