Like the Germans, I’m falling off the wagon. Pretty sick of the sudden turn and focus of the show to a teenagers lust story. Wish they’d stick to the history and journey. Didn't the Comanche’s practice polygamy? BTW Lightning with the yellow hair, here are my four other wives and my 8 children… Cue the yellow hairs monologue… As I rode, free of the reins, I suddenly realized I’m an idiot…. I think by 1883 most of the great Indian chiefs had already sold their people out and we’re on tour with Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show. By this time the biggest threats to travel were disease and bandits but did Indians really come to the rescue? Also, the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1870 or so. Laramie was a stop on the railroad. If they got to Laramie, why wouldn’t they just jump on the train? Seems like an easier route through the mountains to me.
