Frightening Encounter in Old West MONTANA | Teddy Roosevelt Story 1892
In 1892, a book was published titled The Wilderness Hunter, written by future president and avid sportsman Theodore Roosevelt. It told of his life and sporting adventures in the American West some eighteen years before becoming president. In the book, one story stands out among the others and it’s one that you might not expect to find in a book written by the future president.
The story was told to Roosevelt by a man named Bauman, who was referred to in the text as a “grizzled, weather-beaten old mountain hunter.” There are no other details about Bauman except that he was of German heritage and had lived all his life on the frontier. The old mountain man tells the future president that he and an unnamed partner had planned to trap beaver in a remote section of the western Montana wilderness near the Wisdom River (now the Big Hole). Other hunters avoided the area after a trapper’s mutilated body was discovered sometime earlier by a group of miners passing by his camp.
Still, the two men were not to be deterred by the stories told of the area and ventured deep into the remote Montana backcountry. There they made a quick lean-to shelter, and with few hours of daylight left, made their way up the river to scout. They returned at dusk to discover their cover destroyed and their belongings scattered around the campsite. Thinking it was a bear, they cleaned up, and Bauman set about making supper. His partner left to investigate some tracks, and what he found could not have been made by a bear, but something that walked upright on two legs like a man; but no man could have left those prints.
Keep Hiking!!

The Colonel himself had an odd experience in Washington state while on an excursion there. He heard a scream-growl that he couldn't identify and which, apparently, freaked out his Indian guide who insisted that Roosevelt and himself needed to be 'anywhere but where they were'.

The lesson is don't shoot at a Bigfoot. The only exception would be if you're under a physical attack.

Exactly I am so sick of people saying the President saw one, Not True.
This is a terrifying story. I love the fact that it was so long ago and President Roosevelt saw fit to include it in his book. The two men in the story were mountain men, expert hunters and trappers. So many similarities in what they told about and the experiences these days. interesting. Thank you, Chris. And yes please to multiple stories a week!

First of all, my hats off to you for camping out in the woods all alone. Hard pass for me. I’d never leave the camper. Second, if i’m ever found in that situation, by no means would I EVER separate myself from my partner and wander off into the woods alone after encountering something that obviously doesn’t want me there. Good story. Much appreciated.
I've been camping and fishing on Wise River many times. As a MT native, hands down my favorite part of the entire state. Almost feels like its own national park. The Pioneer Mountains on both sides of the valley are magnificent, lots of old abandoned mining history at Coolidge, the Crystal Park (dig for your own gem stones), and nearby Bannack. Also a great nearby ski-hill, and the plateau at the top of the pass genuinely resembles some parts of Yellowstone (minus the geysers). The area is a fishing and hiking mecca. Highly recommend visiting if you're near the area. Hope you're well Chris, it was indeed a very frightening story!

My stomach growled 11 minutes in and I nearly shot out of bed lol. Love your storytelling Chris.
Checking YT first thing on Sundays for your latest story, Chris. Love them all! I'm sure there are endless untold stories like this, especially from the past. I'm very curious what stories the Native American community have. When my son was driving across country with a childhood friend after his time in the Montana Conservation Corps, they went to the Grand Canyon and spent a few days with the Native Americas that lived there. They told my son and friend that there are space ships/sauces that are hiding in the canyons. They also said they had told the police several times, but they ignored them. I've heard that the Sasquatch are aliens from another galaxy. Things that make you go hmmm!😆👽
I get so much joy listening to you. Thank you for all the hard work. It makes my week just a little easier.
I can’t believe how you traipse around out there alone in the dark- after telling a scary story- how do you do that??!! I’m just glad you do, more is better
Hello from Denmark. Love your story. I AM born in Greenland. We know about little people in Greenland. ☝️😳We have many story about Them.
I really look forward to your stories. I live out in the country and have a fire pit and on Friday and Saturday nights, I will light a fire, pop a beer, and just listen.

Hey Chris you have to be one of the most quirky yet coolest storytellers on KZread.... Teddy Roosevelt is one of the best presidents ever...in my book anyway!!!?
Teddy Roosevelt was MY favorite president too! He was a wilderness man. A family man. A man's man. And obviously the country's man (as their leader). Wow! Great story tonite Chris! Scared me to death! 🦍🦍🦍😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶🌚🌚🌚☠️☠️☠️🥸🥸🥸🥶🥶🥶
I love Teddy Roosevelt!!!! 🧡 I love in WI and my favorite Teddy story is when he was shot in Milwaukee while giving his speech and he just went on 45 minutes later finishing it! Everyone was telling him to get to the hospital but he was like, no, no this can wait. These people came to hear my speech!
Love your stories. My kiddies can listen to them. I don't have to worry about swearing! Thank you!

Chris we look forward to your stories and have been watching the older stuff while we wait for Sunday's post. So definitely welcome another story per week. Sad that they did not leave as soon as there was an issue, that they didn't listen to their gut and that they split up; otherwise Jessup may not have been killed. Dave Paulides always mentions the point of separation and Steve Isadahl to listen when something does not feel right. And you always scare the poo out of me with the sound effects!!! Good job!! Stay safe out there!!

Always look forward to your uploads. Carson pass is full of history. Also idk if you like to read or not, may also give you a couple story ideas. But Tragedy at Devil's Hollow and Other Kentucky Ghost Stories by Michael Paul Henson has short, supposedly true stories. Including one on time travel which the book is named after. Look forward to more great stories
Gotta love Base Camp Chris' Fireside Chats like Teddy's cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, gave over the radio while serving as president.
Loved the story. Roosevelts Bauman story always has fascinated me. I do have to say the end with screams and branches breaking made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Thank you for another great story.
Lesson here; only shoot as a last resort. Remember you are invading their habitat and need to be respectful to their wishes. If you are given a warning then its time to go asap or suffer the consequences. Hello Chris and I look forward to more content during the week. You read my mind for sure. Haha Thanks a mill.!
AHHH!😱That was scary! It was getting dark. I was biting my nails and saying: "get out of the snowy, dark wilderness Chris and get to the safety of your car. Quick!"😂❤
I was born in Butte, Montana and grew up in Browns Gulch. The Big Hole and Wise River area was and still is impressive. So many memories and laughs camping, fishing, hunting, and exploring that area when I was young. But there was this one time in 1979 Fourth of July camping up at The Little Joe campground area and we heard something coming from high up a drainage and it was getting dark. The sounds it was making was nothing I’ve heard before and haven’t heard since. Even my entire family who was with us and and they are outdoors people couldn’t explain it.
I love that story, I always imagine how horrified city folks even back in that time would have decided over-crowding and sweat shops weren't so bad after all. Even for an older woman raised in rural northern Minnesota my goosebumps are up and I've both read & listened to it before! Good telling!

Another great story, thanks!! I wish you best of luck growing your channel, you always seem to be in a good mood and it rubs off on me and makes me smile and happy. 👍🏻
LOVE IT! I spend a lot of time in the back country of the Big Hole drainage. Hunting, hiking, fishing and mt biking. To me it's always been a unique slice of Montana. Never had any Bigfoot encounters but there's definitely been times where I've got the feeling "Hair on the back of my neck" to move on and not loiter. One time, a friend and I were working our way up to a park above 8,000' and while in some thick timber we heard a very loud growl right near us. Both of us froze and looked at each other then looked everywhere we could see without moving to locate the source. Eventually after not seeing or hearing anything else, we decided to head back down the mountain. Still to this day it perplexes me as to what made the sound. My best guess is that it was a bobcat in the trees above us.
The fact that Teddy saw fit to include it in his book just adds authenticity to the story. Enjoyed it very much, much thanks!
Those snow sounds are the best. Brings me back to the snowy nights, coming back from school, and drinking hot tea with sweet mint gingerbread.
What a scary story. Time to get the book. OMG the howl when you were hiking out! Yikes!
I loved reading The wilderness Hunter! TR was a renaissance man for sure

Great story, great video. It makes me wonder how many experiences like Bauman's there were back then that never got recorded, and were subsequently lost to time. Anyway, thanks for the video and I'm looking forward to the next one.
I don't know HOW you're able to tell these stories, then hike back out in the dark all by yourself. Was that hollering at the end of the video recorded by you? Good God, that would have caused me to curl up in the fetal position and hide in the snow. I've heard that same sound at night, from the forested hills by my home. 😱
Hey Chris. Could have made a snow house form deep snow. Absolutely gorgeous, got to love it.
You tell this story so much better than I've ever heard it told. I really appreciate your abilities to make a story come to life. You really do. Glad I found your vlog. Take care out there. I DO believe in Big Foot. Just don't want to ever see one!. Blessings.

The wilderness must have been terrifying back in the 1890s. I read a book about George Washington many years ago. He would go out on horseback with a friend and explore around the shennandoah valley and blue ridge mountain area. Often times they would come across native Americans. His friend was able to communicate with them but Washington made no effort….he considered them below him. The book was very interesting as it went into a few wilderness excursions that Washington went on.
I remember coming across this story in Roosevelt's book Wilderness Hunter. Still one of the best tales I've read, and I frequently go back to read it again. Masterfully told.

You've had me wondering if there are stories from mountain men of old about sasquatch. Then you share this story, relayed by Teddy who is also my favorite President! 🧸 🇺🇸 What a cool story! Sounds like that creature maybe took revenge for being shot by the other trapper... Maybe he was hurt & ticked off... R.I.P.
