Freedom In The Sierras and Death Valley

Heading west out of Death Valley was an experience. Freedom to explore, learn and grow is paramount in the Sierras as well. This is my first long form video. Honestly, talking in front of a camera for thirty seven minutes is a lot harder than it looks. But there is so much to see and talk about. And I covered a lot of ground in this video. That being said, from the history of movement across the Midwest all the way to California is a story that has yet to be told. Sure Hollywood has tried. Mightily. For years. Movies - many shot right here in the Alabama Hills where I am currently. Wagon Train. Death Valley Days. High Noon. The Magnificent Seven all the way up to movies like Open Range and so on. They tell shards of stories. I certainly can't capture it all in this narrative and video. First the American Indian and those who came before. Then the Mountain Men and the first of the great migration of mostly European Immigrants to the west. Miners and then opportunity seekers. Around 1849 many have learned of the experience of the Donner Party, which was forced to resort to cannibalism high in the Sierra's in order to survive. Not wanting to repeat that episode miners and other emigrants in the 1840's sought a southern route through what they say they named 'Death Valley'. Later more miners, businessmen and more coming every day. I can't imagine live in Death Valley then...or in the 1920's...and later in the 1930's when the CCC came to the Valley and built some amazing structures. But the Eastern Sierra also has its great charm. From my beautiful Bureau of Land Management Campground to the harsh and depressing Manzanar Monument where the American Japanese were forced into camps in World War 2. There is so much to see and experience here. Video only approximates reality...but I had fun shooting. From Stovepipe to the Sierras. I have so much gratitude for being able to travel and experience these things. After sitting for three winters in the Arizona Desert I am ready for travel and fun. A disclaimer: I mispronounced Manzanar and there's just to way to fix it. I take liberties with history sometimes. I love history but I am not a university history professor, obviously, All kinds of Americans built this country. All kinds of races and ethnicities. Some of them enslaved. Some of them hounded into reservations. There are good...even great parts of American History. And there are dark, pernicious and dangerous mistakes. I can't possibly include them all or analyze them perfectly in an off the cuff video for YouTube. For a little more depth you can listen to my podcasts. Especially the latest from the road, as I departed Lone Pine, California. Here's the link... (By the way … these are free wheeling talks, no notes, no script. As a result I apologize for getting dated and sometimes places wrong. Hopefully the main drift of what I am saying comes through. For example, Geronimo surrendered in 1896. I said ‘something like 1923’. That was a doozy). https://thebobdavispodcasts.com/adven... Thanks to everyone for joining me on this journey.
