Ep. #38 Don't Pet The Bison

This episode was actually recorded during the first 40 minutes of the previous Episode #37 when Cole shared his trip to Churchill in the Arctic Circle photographing Polar Bears.

Instead of leaving this sidetracked session on the "cutting room floor", I thought it might be interesting to fellow amateur historians and maybe even inspire some to "go down some rabbit holes" to learn more about the likes of "Wildcat" Bill Hamilton and "Colonel" Allen. The title of Bill Hamiltons amazing life story is, "My Sixty Years On The Plains: Trapping, Trading And Indian Fighting"
