The narrative centers on the tragic Sand Creek Massacre, where Colonel John M. Chivington's militia attacked a Cheyenne and Arapaho village, claiming to avenge prior tribal violence. The aftermath saw Chivington hailed as a hero, despite accusations of a brutal massacre primarily targeting non-combatants. Kevin Cahill intricately explores the political and social dynamics leading up to this event, highlighting voices for peace within the tribes and the misunderstandings that fueled conflict. This well-researched account offers a balanced perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, blending historical detail with compelling storytelling.
