One More Thistle | The True Story of Truman Everts’ 37 Days Lost in Yellowstone

“One More Thistle” is an original historical folk song inspired by the survival of Truman Everts, who became separated from his party in Yellowstone in 1870 and spent 37 days alone in the wilderness. With broken glasses, little food, and almost no protection from the elements, Everts survived on whatever he could find, including thistle roots, while enduring cold, injury, exhaustion, and isolation. The song focuses less on the legend and more on the stubborn rhythm of survival: one more thistle, one more sunrise, one more day.
