At the first onset a number of the Indians rushed through the liius.Many had sought shelter behind logs and trees, and under the banks of thestream which flowed through the centre of the village, and to dislodgethem it was necessary for the cavalry to fight on foot in the Indian style.Slowly but surely the Indians were driven out of these defences, and wereeither shot down or pushed beyond the scene of action. The women andchildren remained within the lodges and became prisoners. The villagewas burned and eight hundred horses slaughtered. One hundred andthree warriors, including the chief, Black Kettle, were killed, and fifty-three women and children captured.

At the news ofOusters onslaught they collected and attacked him in turn, but were re-pulsed, and at nightfall Custer withdrew. His loss was twenty-one killed,including Major Elliot and Captain Hamilton, and eleven wounded. This was a hard blow, and, according to General Sheridan, it fell uponthe guiltiest of all the bands, that of Black Kettle. It was this hand,says he, uthat without provocation had massacred the settlers on theSaline and Solomon, and perpetrated cruelties too fiendish for recital.()n the other hand, Indian Agent AVynkoop says: I know that BlackKettle had proceeded to the point at which he was killed, with the under-standing that it was the locality where those Indians that were friendlydisposed should assemble. In regard to the charge that Black Kettle wasengaged in the depredations committed on the Saline and Solomon duringthe summer of ls»;s, I know the same to be utterly false, a Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.

With the end of the Civil War, the nation recommenced its expansion onto traditional Indian tribal lands, setting off a wide-ranging conflict that would last more than three decades. In an exploration of the wars and negotiations that destroyed tribal ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies.
