- In the year 1828, on the open plains of Colorado, two mighty tribes meet in a showdown that sees the legendary Comanche chief Bull Hump take on the village of the revered Cheyenne chief Yellow Wolf.
In a classic display of intertribal frontier warfare- a world seldom seen by the casual history observer- the fight that follows is a display of the courage, ruthlessness, daring and brutality that comprise the unforgiving world of combat between native tribes on the Great Plains of North America.

I visited a friend’s ranch in SW Texas and have found rock burn piles that Comanche used and arrowheads. My friend took me into a small cave they used. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It was like they were just there yesterday. Great channel btw.
historic site invite the local uni
Man that sounds incredible. Truely something worth seeing
@@HikingForLoot I should have asked him if he’s had scholars come and look. Will do next time.
Far out, Jack. I'da loved to experience that history as you have. Got goose-flesh reading your comment.. Problem is, I'm on t'other side of the Big Pond. God bless you man.
Any Indians about, looking for wild horses?
Seriously the best American western content out there can’t get enough of it
Thank you!
Best way to relax, on a Saturday afternoon.
Terrific story telling of this light calvary battle between the Comanche and Cheyenne.
My Saturday night was made so much better by this video. As a Colorado boy it’s great to hear about the southern Tribes.
The Fighting Cheyennes by George Bird Grinnell is an excellent book. Grinnell was an ethnographer who lived with the Cheyenne and documented their lives and culture. Written in 1915, it's a sympathetic yet un-PC look at the tribe.
Beyond The Fighting Cheyennes Grinnell also did several more scholarly books on the tribe, documenting their culture, rituals and such.
This channel is awesome. No frills, wonderfully narrated, imagination provoking, detailed, and uniquely American history.
I enjoy watching and listening to your videos.
This is my favorite new channel, by far. The production is top notch.
I'm a Brit your content is unsurpassed on the internet❤😊
Love the battle details
The videos are always great.
Great story and video, thanks..keep up the good work!
Good video 👍
Im watching all the videos you produce. One by one. I love your presentations Thank you!
The picture used to depict Chief Yellow Wolf is actually Chief Wolf Robe of the Southern Cheyenne, and as you can see, he is wearing the Benjamin Harris Peace Medal around his neck in the photo.
Although both were Cheyenne Chiefs, they are two very different people. Chief Yellow Wolf was killed during the 1864 Sand Creek massacre at age 85. Chief Wolf Robe died on a reservation in 1910, age 70.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE THIS CHANNEL
.
ESPECIALLY THE NATIVE AMERICAN'S DOING BATTLE..
Very good guys I enjoyed it deeply. The picture of the handsome warrior is painted by George Catlin (Karl Bodmer? ) but it's really a Cheyenne? Comanche never wore feathers in this time...I remarked before that the Cheyenne although a mighty Tribe and introduced the horse to the Lakota were till the last quarter of the 19. Century short on firearms and that's luck for the whites. I thought, the Comanche forgot the Shoshone as ancestors and learned this about the language in the reservation system..Their belief of a parting from a other Tribe over a rough kids game was known. Anyway, superb as I'm waiting for. God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Yes the portrait on the left is by George Catlin,of a prominent Blackfoot chief.The painting on the right is by Karl Bodmer,of I believe of a Hidatsa dancer
Notice the detail in the Bodmer painting .Around his neck hangs an eagle wing-bone whistle.In his hand he holds a rattle of dew claws of a deer.My guess the feathers in his headdress are from Western Magpie.
Many thanks professor for your excellent work. I 💛 history and especially above the Indians fighting with each other. They are a fascinating people that I enjoy learning about. ❤. The only thing that bothers me is why I am getting your posts a day later? Thank you 💛
I love these argouments
Love the older time periods prior to a lot of western expansion. Love the colorado stories. I would love to hear about the utes more ! I've had to find books on them, not a lot online.
Your location for Bents fort is wrong It was further east and on the north side of the Arkansass River near La junta CO.
My place is on the south side of the Arkansass River 7 miles west of Fowler CO and loaded with camp sites and arrowheads.
There is a lot of history here.
I live on the reservation where cheyenne (arapaho) people and shoshone got placed together. They are not best friends still
Wind River
:( awww I wanted to watch it nowww
Much respect for the older generation but this new bunch coming on is another story !!
Most of History is unknown!
I agree!
Still waiting for the battle of Pierre's hole. It's a good one!
The flint is heated under the ground to make it softer to knap
I figured those burnt rock piles had something to do with arrow making. They worked flint with the heat, good to know thanks!
I always enjoy the native vs native battles. I wonder what it looked like before horses, as I would assume long campaigns would be unsustainable without pack animals.
New Zealand Maori just enslaved captured enemy and made them carry supplies, and ate them when the supplies ran out.
@@theflamingone8729 Central American warfare was similar, mass hordes of slaves serving as porters. Very inefficient.
@@jakemocci3953 if their manpower is serving you, it is weakening them while empowering you. Like demanding reparations or tribute, except manpower is the currency.
One of the reasons slavery became so widespread, more economical and less disturbing than outright killing or maiming a defeated opponent.
Enjoyed your story about one brief moment of conflict. Set between two great tribes of First People. Horses were such a valuable commodity to all first people. They would literally fight over ownership of them. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
I beleieve the peace between the Comanche Kiowa and Cheyenne and Arapahoe took place in 1838. Not 1848. Great video non the less!
Nearby tribes here are Shoshone and Cheyenne.
I assume his name BullHump is the translation from his Native name. I'm sure the translations often don't work into exact translations. Also I really wonder how he got the name Bull Hump?

His necklace of scalps--black, brown, red and blonde...bothers me. I can imagine how the men felt back then.
Wasn`t his correct name not "Buffalo Hump"?
That's different guy, but good question!
After hearing how the Comanche tortured and killed many innocent captives, I’m glad the Cheyenne won this battle, not that they were that much better.
Same lol. We were all brutal...being nice would be showing weakness especially towards one's enemy. The hate we had for eachother is still crazy.
I have heard much about the Comanches (“a Comanche raid will end even the worst hangover”).
I was not aware of the Cheyanne history though. I have no doubts about the lack of accuracy of the accounts of the White men though they may have tried.
These Natives were fierce. The White guys were well armed.
Ahhh back when Americans had testosterone.

The comancheros kicked both of their butts.

Love your videos, but that's "Buffalo Bull's Back Fat", not "Bull Hump".😉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bull%27s_Back_Fat
In regards to what that comment wrote about a buffalo's hump being the best eating, I ate some slow cooked Brahman hump, it was the best ever! Too much would be a fast track to heart disease though.
This makes me wonder.... In the beginning they put out a stat that there were 25 to 1 in the old west. 25 prostitutes to 1 decent lady or respectable ladies. As the Old West started to fill up, I heard more respectable ladies showed up. But also, I heard by the end of the 19th century (1880s-1890s) there were 50,000 prostitutes in the Old West! Which one is it? Did the respectable ladies outnumber the prostitutes? Were the respectable ladies in the majority, and the prostitutes in the minority? Or were the prostitutes in the majority, and decent women, or respectable ladies in the minority? Genuinely curious.....
Many switched "sides" as cities filled. There was still a relative lack of females. As an example Wyatt Earp's second wife was a prostitute. He even signed her city license 2 years prior!
Maybe the majority of women used sex to get stuff as needs arose, though the minority actually worked in brothels or were full time sex workers.
