Manage episode 411678234 series 2457339
Feel the icy winds and hear the echoes of challenge and survival as we unveil the untold narratives of Fort Dodge's pioneering spirits. This episode promises to transplant you to the heart of a 19th-century military outpost, where Major Henry Douglas and his command contended with more than just the bitter cold. Mike King, a historian who profoundly understands the era, guides us through the Douglas family's trials, the lawlessness fueled by whiskey ranches, and the enduring friction between the military and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Understand the true meaning of solitude and resilience through the eyes of those who braved the remote frontiers of America. From the intimate struggles of a woman determined to maintain a semblance of home to the looming threats of Chief Satanta and the Kiowa tribe, each moment is a testament to the raw human spirit. We navigate the perilous landscape of diplomatic tensions, midnight alarms, and the forbidden whiskey trades that tested the mettle of Fort Dodge's inhabitants, offering you a seat at the fire to witness history like never before.
