Thats an understatement! The guy was an animal! I have previously read about some of his exploits and he was no doubt someone of which there will never be again!

Just a couple miles from me is a spot on the Deschutes River that is 'marked' as a spot where John C. Fremont is supposed to have camped for whatever length of time but who knows. Maybe I'll go poke around the spot with my metal detector sometime.

I was in Wyoming years ago and saw the Oregon Trail wagon ruts and one of the markers. Very cool.

Ya I cringed at the horse gear too. Not period correct. But overall I enjoyed the show.
And don't you hate it when you're at a party and your frizzen is open and nobody tells you?
