Manage episode 278570606 series 2586137
Born enslaved, James Beckwourth is easily one of the most accomplished mountain men that ever lived. Once free, he forayed into the West, became chief of the Crow people and played a role in such notable yet commonly undiscussed historical events such as the War of 1812, the Second Seminole War, the California Revolution, the Mexican American War and Red Cloud's War. Westward-Ho!
