Beskrivelse
Taking place during the American Civil War, the Sand Creek Massacre (also known as the Chivington Massacre, the Battle Of Sand Creek or the Massacre of Cheyenne Indians) was a massacre of Cheyenne and Arapaho people by the U.S. Army in the American Indian Wars on November 29, 1864, when a 675-man force of the Third Colorado Cavalry, under the command of Colonel John Chivington, attacked and destroyed a village of Cheyenne and Arapaho people in southeastern Colorado, killing and mutilating them, about two-thirds of whom were women and children and the elderly. The massacre is considered as an important part of a series of events known as the Colorado Wars. This book, "Sand Creek Massacre - Chivington's Shame" references archival documents which bring to light the before, during and after shameful episodes of history against the Plains Indians.
