Thanks for educating americans about this. I'm sure it was another great article. As a Neshnebeh man this type of traumatic history is emblematic of my family history so I don't need to know the details (again). Always appreciate you bro. WE ARE STILL HERE!
As always, you bring the emotion into history. This was very moving as was the podcast on the subject. Shocking to imagine anyone wearing a US uniform performing these acts, but I would love to read more about Soule and Cramer. Recommended reading?
There's also a full-length Hollywood production on the Sand Creek Massacre, "Soldier Blue" (1970). It marked something of a departure from previous decades of westerns where Native Americans had been generally depicted as bad or in the wrong, to a script where Whites were the evil ones and the ugly truth was accurately presented. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066390/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_Soldier%2520Blue
Hated to even “like” this it’s so horrible but thank you for sharing. I’ve driven by the area on numerous occasions and remarked to my wife last time that we should take the time someday to stop and visit the museum.
I fly over that area all the time. I work just south of there. Talk about the middle of nowhere. Those people were of absolutely no danger to anyone. Horrible things like this do tend to radicalize the survivors and starts a vicious cycle. If it's any consolation, the town named after Chivington just south of there is not exactly a thriving metropolis. Great essay, also loved the podcast you did on this a few years back.

there's a book about Silas Soule entitled "Silas Soule: A Short, Eventful Life of Moral Courage"
