No family has had a more valuable influence on fur trade history and research than the Hansons. Once, while visiting the museum, after finishing I had a great long chat with your mom(?). I asked if I could help with anything, and she told me to go fetch a modern framed photo out of the trading post. It had fallen a while back, and she wondered if I could maybe "fix" it a bit. She took me to your dad's library and table and showed me what resources I had at my disposal. The absolute only thing possible was a roll of clear packing tape lol. I did the best I could under the circumstances to patch up and reinforce that frame and brought it out to her. After passing scrutiny, she asked if I could go re hang it, which I was happy to do lol. I treasure my time there, and truly appreciate how your dad made time to visit. He was a heckuva man. Thanks to your family for your work.

I wonder if after that rifle was given to him was it used against the the 7th in 1876 🤔

Depends on whether he had the ammo for it.

@@chrisdoe4999 I don't think so. If the Indians collected the spent cartridges, they'd have probably made necklaces and other decorations out of them. Reloading would have required powder, the right sized slugs and percussion caps, and -- at the minimum -- some kind of hand press to put them together. I just don't see the Indians carrying all that gear around.

@@chrisdoe4999 I was always under the impression that the cavalry had shot up most of its ammo before the Indians swarmed in on them. But I'm sure there was a good bit of unfired ammo to be found as well. I put 8 years in the U.S. army. I'm glad it wasn't back then and there.

Young Man Afraid of His Horses is a mistranslation that makes it sound like the guy was afraid of his own horses. His name was actually something along the lines of "his enemies are even afraid of his horses."

Hello James. I really enjoyed this video. It really brings back great memories. My wife and I made the trek to this wonderful place on our honeymoon in the summer of 1990 where we met your father, Charles. We were a newly wed couple on a super tight budget. I had read so many articles about the fur trade through magazines like Muzzle Blasts and Muzzleloader Magazine and many books. Charles personally walked us through the museum and shared many great stories about different artifacts. As we were looking around the little shop to get a treasure to remind us of this place, Charles gave me a stack of books that he personally autographed for me as a wedding present. What an amazing gift. I still have each of those books and treasure them and the memory. It was a long trek from Denver but well worth the drive. A treasure of information to be seen first hand is trip of a lifetime for those interested in the mountain men and trappers and the whole history of the fur trade. Thanks for you and the supporters of this museum.

Indians had their own honor to keep and white men never understood that honor, if taken away from an Indian ,it was worse than any kind of death , even being caught by the enemy then burnt alive was honorable and brave. You steal a white man's horse ,you would hang, If you steal an indian's horse it was ones honor to take it back with interest or not be a whiner about it.

Thank you for posting these videos, I would have loved to be a trapper, explorer during this time. I would have loved to see the land of the USA in it’s pre settlement state. We are just now realizing the importance of the beaver and bison to the ecology of the region that helped support the biodiversity. The native Americans seem to have been much wiser about sustainability and habitat preservation than the European settlers.

Did all fur traders, especially in Pennsylvania, take Indian wives?
@ryritchey12

Wow surprised no one answered yet. The answer is no, many took native wives for political reasons. Many however were young men looking for adventure and to "get rich quick", after a few seasons of trapping they'd return home and marry. Or they would have a wife which they left home while they trapped for a winter or so. I'm a history teacher and this is what I have found, but I am sure there are exceptions.

What can you tell us about Antoine Pvchon? We found a French Trade Knife stamped with his name while metal detecting in Northeast Wisconsin.
