This audiobook recounts the tragic events of the Sand Creek Massacre on November 29, 1864, where Colonel John Chivington's militia launched a violent attack on a Cheyenne camp. Despite Black Kettle’s efforts to signal that his band was not resisting, the soldiers indiscriminately opened fire, resulting in the deaths of many women, children, and men, and leaving behind a scene of brutality and mutilation. The account highlights the stark contrast between the initial gestures of peace and the ensuing savagery of the attack, drawing from oral tradition and survivor testimonies.
