In the late 18th century, tens of millions of buffalo lived in North America. By the mid-1880s, they were on the brink of extinction. For the white settlers who sought to “conquer” the American west, and the Native people whose way of life depended on them, the plight of the American Buffalo was more than a story of one species of animal. As Dayton Duncan writes in the prologue of his new book Blood Memory,  the buffalo has “emerged as an embodiment of the nation's contradictory relationship with the natural world: venerated and mercilessly destroyed, a symbol of both a romanticized frontier and the callous conquest of a continent.” In this episode, Dayton joins us for a conversation about the Buffalo (aka American Bison) and how the story of one animal can tell us so much about American history.   Dayton Duncan is an Emmy award-winning writer whose most recent collaborations with filmmaker Ken Burns are the book Blood Memory: The Tragic Decline and Improbable Resurrection of the American Buffalo (Alfred A. Knopf, 2023) and the new documentary The American Buffalo, which premieres on your local PBS station on Monday, October 16, 2023 (check your local listings).   If you enjoyed this episode, check out our previous conversation with Dayton Duncan in RTN #229 on Benjamin Franklin.   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.

In Winnett, the only town in the least populated county in Montana, out-of-state absentee land ownership poses a threat to the future of ranching and the preservation of the region's intact prairie ecosystem.

It is one of the longest units of the National Park System in the country. "It," of course, is the Oregon National Historic Trail, which stretches more than 2,100 miles from Missouri to Oregon. It's been estimated that between 1840 and 1860 some 300,000-400,000 men, women, and children embarked on the four-month-long trip to head to the West Coast.  A new book, “Exploring The Oregon Trail, America's Historic Road Trip,” can help you explore sections of the trail, or the entire trail if you have the time. It was written by Kay and David Scott, longtime national park travelers and park lodging experts.

If we have learned anything during the pandemic, it's that the supply chain is at risk whenever there is a disaster. It's especially at risk when a geopolitical foe is in control of life saving products such as medicine. That is the situation the West finds itself in with China and now, central and south America are looking to step into the gap. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-drug-supply-chain-alternative-to-china-might-run-through-canada-latin-america/ar-AAYtEl1?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=29cf24f4ce154433985803dcabfb0657

On this special episode of the Restump Podcast we're pleased to bring you a chat with the ever generous and knowledgeable, the West Australian Sport's Jordan McArdle. Jordan attends more community football than anyone in his endeavours to bring insightful content to the public and we're extremely grateful he has donated some of his time to share it with us.So, if you're a draft enthusiast, particularly of the Freo fan variety, click play and have a listen to what we believe is an informative, entertaining and enjoyable chat ahead of next week's 2021 AFL Draft. Apparently the Chief was at lunch and didn't get the call up in time so on this occasion, it's a couple of Big Macs talking a draft over a draught. 

Water is in short supply these days, especially in the West. But conservationists, experts, and others are addressing the issue with innovative ideas for capturing and containing water. Jeff Hampton is one of those concerned and creative folks. He joins Russell and Alan to talk about ways to manage our life-sustaining resource—water.

Why tell a tall tale when the truth is so crazy it's barely believable? In this episode, Russell and Alan confirm that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. When you're out on the range, on the back of  a horse, in the cockpit of an airplane, you're living adventures guaranteed to be told around the campfire for decades to come. So, grab a seat, roast some marshmallows, and give a listen as two cowboys tell true tales from the range.

This year, we celebrate the 17th annual National Day of the Cowboy. Last year, we interviewed founder Bethany Braley, who is dedicated to preserving cowboy culture and heritage. Here's the special reprise of our interview with her. Hats off to you, Bethany!

Many of us have heard about the Pony Express, founded in 1860. But did you know this “start-up” mail delivery service only operated for 18 months? Expert Jim DeFelice, author of “West Like Lightning,” joins Russell and Alan to sort through the fact and fiction associated with the legendary Pony Express. [True or False: Buffalo Bill Cody rode for the Pony Express. Listen for the answer!]

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks with author John Sedgwick about his book From The River To The Sea. John takes us back in time and shares a story of two men whose destinies seemed to be cosmically entwined. General William J, Palmer and William Barstow Strong would fight for over a decade in their race to build their railroads and make it to the Pacific. Intrigue abounds, spies are used, coded messages and high dollar lawyers to find whatever loopholes could give one an edge over the other. This is a rip-roaring ride through history, you better hold on.

Doris Daley is a renowned cowboy poet, emcee and humorist—or as she prefers, a “western poet.” Her 20-year performance career includes appearances with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and the Saskatchewan Opera Company. Doris joins Russell and Alan from Alberta, Canada to share her wordsmithing and love of the West. It's a cowboy celebration of National Poetry Month.

Sometimes nothing lifts the heart and soul like a good western tune. Jim Jones has plenty of them—and plenty have won prestigious awards. He joins Russell and Alan to talk about his career as a solo musician and a member of the trio The Cowboy Way and as an author of western novels. He even has his guitar within reach. Give a listen!

Arizona author Nancy E. Turner started college when her children were full-grown. After earning a triple major in creative writing, music and studio art from the University of Arizona, Turner went on to become a bestselling author of many novels. She joins Russell and Alan to talk about her new novel “Light Changes Everything,” which Publisher's Weekly describes as a “satisfying, immersive, and often heart-pounding tale of one indomitable young woman's frontier life, touched by tragedy and hope.”

In honor of Women's History Month, award-winning author and historian Jan Cleere joins Russell and Alan to discuss her new book Military Wives in Arizona Territory: A History of Women Who Shaped the Frontier. Most of these women journeyed from the East and knew little of the hardships and challenges waiting in the Arizona Territory. But these brave, bold women persevered and left a legacy that endures today.

He's an author, songwriter, storyteller, performer, cowboy, college prof, and Arizona's own state historian. As the Arizona Historical Foundation's executive director says, “His homespun wit and unassuming demeanor often serve as a smokescreen to his incisive talents in the scholarly arena.” You're in for a treat because you're about to meet Marshall Trimble.

Few westerners know hats better then master hatter Jimmy Harrison, fondly known as Jimmy “the hat man.” He's been shaping and cutting down hats since he was young and in rodeo with his buddies. Eventually, he became the owner of Double H Custom Hat Company in Darby, MT and Wickenburg, AZ, where he creates and manufacturers hats for customers worldwide. Jimmy joins Russell and Alan to share the secrets of cowboy hat making.    

On a ranch, the unexpected is just part of life. You might say it's the expected. From quirky individuals who move in as neighbors to horse wrecks and pickup wrecks, the unanticipated flavors ranch life with the kick of a habanero pepper flavoring hot sauce. Russell and Alan share stories that they'll never forget, and neither will you!  

Dude ranching has been part of the western experience since the turn of the 20th century. Many of today's dude ranches have stayed in the family for generations. Russell and Alan chat with Bryce Albright who, like Russell, grew up in a dude ranching family and is now the executive director of the Dude Ranchers' Association in Cody, WY.
