You may have never heard of the Fetterman Fight (sometimes called the Fetterman Massacre) and if you have, it’s probably a version that has been distorted over the last 150 years. Learn the truth behind one of the Wild West’s most famous battles.

If this video looks like it was someone’s first time editing a video like this, that’s because it’s my inaugural video. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts so I can get better!

For further research, I highly recommend Give Me Eighty Men: Women and the Myth of the Fetterman Fight by Shannon D. Smith: https://amzn.to/3vH9YwQ

This is NOT a sponsored video, but if you use that link then I get a commission and you get an awesome book. Win/Win!
