Days Gone contains 43 Historical Marker Locations. They are a type of Collectible and will help you earn The Broken Roadshow trophy. The markers are generally metal plates on rocks. You can walk up to them and interact with the plate to make the collectible count. Just discovering it is not enough, you must interact with it.
The way you normally reveal them on the map is by conquering the Ambush Camps first. They reveal all nearby Historical Markers on the map, thus making them significantly easier to locate. You can see your progress in the Collectibles Menu at any time.
None of these collectibles are missable! After the story there’s free-roam and you can go back to all regions and finish up any side activities and collectibles you have left. It’s worth noting that there are two temporary points of no return. One at the end of 3rd region “Lost Lake” and one more at the end of 5th region “Crater Lake”. This will lock you out of some regions until the end of the story. After the story the whole map opens up again and you can continue collecting.
The order & numbering in this guide is the same as the in-game Collectible Menu! In the location images the character arrow marks the spot.

#1 is Peter Skene Ogden – “Fur Trade Warrior”, worked just fine for me, i’m guessing that was part of the Day 1 patch.

Thanks, well spotted! The location images are correct but the third screenshot was a duplicate. Something got mixed up, I’m fixing this today.
Luís says
Hello,
Any idea out to workaround the bugged historical marker #1 and collect it?
Thanks

Unfortunately no, need to wait for devs to fix it.
