IN THE FALL OF 1864, an event occurred which outraged all the plains Indians and a goodly number of whites too.

This was the Sand Creek Massace, an attack on a peaceful Cheyenne village in southern Colorado led by the mad preacher John Chivington. The attack was made on the village of Black Kettle, probably the leading peace Indian of his day, who frantically waved an American flag as his people were being slaughtered.
