TOMORROW, Wednesday January 22nd, tune in at 8pm EST/5pm PST for the debut of our latest offering "The Most Brutal Battles In The History Of The Blackfoot".
On the vast expanses of America’s Northern plains, no tribe has garnered a reputation more formidable than that of the Blackfoot. A complex society, who rose to prominence with the introduction of the horse to their hunting and warrior culture, the Blackfoot ascension to the pre imminent military and economic power the area that today comprises the states of Montana and Idaho, along with large swatches of southern Alberta, Canada.
They were noted in the Lewis and Clark journals as the tribe to be most feared in these territories, beginning their narrative in American history as a tribe of horsebound warriors who ruthlessly dispatched anyone they saw as aggressors. They were known to many of the early mountain men as “Beelzibub”, as they were considered as fearsome as the Devil himself. Many tribes such as the Cree, the Arikara, and the Assiniboine fought decades long, dreadfully violent conflicts with the Blackfoot, costing countless lives on both sides.
Now, History At The OK Corral brings you a comprehensive collection of the most brutal battles in the long and proud history of the mighty Blackfoot.
From chasing down a legendary mountain man, to a long-forgotten attack on a desolate frontier fort, to a bloody battle in Canada whose consequences still reverberate today, join HOKC for a long-awaited deep-dive into the legendary military history of the feared and fearsome Blackfoot people.

Tune in TOMORROW, January 1st, at 8pm EST/5pm PST for the debut of our newest selection "Little-Known Battles That Changed The Course Of History".
While we tend to think of history in terms of its largest battles and most expansive campaigns, the world we live in today is oftentimes shaped by events that have faded from the limelight of the popular narrative.
All too often, geopolitical relationships, international economies, and domestic policy have been indelibly shaped by battles that few among us in the modern world have even heard of.
From the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlàn, to the savanahs of South Africa, from the bays of New Zealand, to the plains of Wyoming, HOKC now takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey through the dark corners of military history in this very special, long-awaited episode.
Don’t miss this exciting, illuminating and- at times- disturbing, look into the largely unknown battles that changed the course of history.

TOMORROW, Thursday December 26th, tune in at 8pm EST/5pm PST for the debut of our latest selection “15 Little-Known Battles In Native American History”.
In the course of world history, few conflicts have been as long or hard-fought as the roughly 400 year war to wrest control of the North American continent from its native peoples. These conflicts, as well as the conflicts between the tribes themselves, were some of the most vicious, brutal warfare even conducted, and- regrettably- have often gone overlooked by posterity.
However, now, History At The OK Corral brings you 15 little-known battles who’s combatants have gone long-forgotten, but whose consequences are felt even today. From the rolling hill country of Central Texas, to the coastline of Western Alaska, to the plains of Montana and the deserts of California.

TOMORROW, Sunday December 22nd, tune in at 8pm EST/5pm PST for the live debut of our newest selection: “The Most Brutal Battles In The History Of The Comanche”.
In the entirety of American history, perhaps no tribe is as feared as the mighty Comanche. Tales of their violent raiding and merciless tactics spread like wildfire across the Texas frontier, then across the nation.
Though they began life as a beleaguered people relegated to a hard life of scavenging in the Northern Rockies, the Comanche- perhaps more than any other tribe- mastered the power of the horse after the animals introduction to North America in the 16th century.
However, despite their vaunted military superiority, many of the stories of the most brutal raids and battles in Comanche history have gone overlooked by mainstream history outlets.
Tomorrow night, HOKC seeks to remedy this with this special, long-awaited episode.

TOMORROW, Wednesday December 18th, tune in at 8pm EST/5pm PST for the debut of our newest episode “The Most Brutal Battles In The History Of The Mountain Men”.
Perhaps no figure in the history of the American frontier is as idolized and romanticized like that of the mountain man. But the world these men existed in was a harsh, dangerous environment, one where their survival depended on their courage, cunning, resourcefulness, and their ability to coexist and intermingle with the innumerable tribes that populated the areas they trapped.
While many times throughout their relatively short history they were successful in fostering and maintaining friendly and even familial relationships with a number of native tribes, many times they were met as unwelcomed trespassers on lands belonging to powerful tribes such as the Arikara, The Blackfoot, The Cheyenne, and The Comanche.
In these clashes, the fighting was often a brutal, close-quartered affair, conducted outside the norms of Western warfare. Torture and posthumous mutilation were considered fair game, and countless native warriors and fur trappers were lost over the decades.
Sadly, many of these accounts have long been overlooked by mainstream history outlets, however, tonight, HOKC brings you this in-depth collection of the most brutal encounters ever fought between the native tribes seeking to protect their homelands, and the mountain men seeking to make a living on the outskirts of their own society.

TOMORROW, Sunday December 15th, tune in at 8pm EST/5pm PST for debut of our newest episode "Mountain Men vs. Blackfoot Warriors : Chief Eagle Rib's Revenge".
Eastern Idaho.1836.
On their way to the annual rendezvous in what is today Pierre's Hole, Idaho, a group of American mountain men cross paths with a party of native Blackfoot warriors. The mountain men give chase, and trap the Blackfoot in a small lake, with the intention of picking them off one by one.
But, one Blackfoot warrior manages to escape, and soon, Blackfoot reinforcements led by the legendary Chief Eagle Ribs storm over the hilltop near the lake, and drive the mountain men back to their camp.
Here, Jim Bridger, the senior trapper in charge, is made aware that the Blackfoot are on their way, and that an attack is imminent.
The mountain men ready themselves for battle, and Bridger rides out into the expanse of prairie between the two parties, in order to meet with Chief Eagle Ribs.
But, Bridger soon becomes concerned that Chief Eagle Ribs is attempting to catch him in an ambush, and attempts to pull his rifle on the unsuspecting Blackfoot man.
At this moment, all chaos breaks out in a calamity of bloodshed, violence and tragedy, all too common on the brutal expanses of the Northern Plains.
When all is said and done, Bridger will lose his rifle- and nearly his life- to the Blackfoot, and lifelong feud will be born.
