Great video. I think that the Colorado City mentioned in the book refers to present day “Old Colorado City “ now incorporated into Colorado Springs on the west side bordering the city of Manitou Springs. Both are in El Paso county. The Colorado City you show on the map is south of El Paso county near the south border of Pueblo county and north Huerfano county.

thank you very much. i love history but have trouble with my eyes so hearing you read history is a treat.

My family had a relationship to General Sheridan and came to Denver around 1875. One of my g-grandmother's good friends was the daughter of John Scott one of Denver's original settlers. Seems as though this lady was a little "different" and lived a reclusive life on their property outside of Denver for many years after. One of the stories she told was that as a young girl she had become a "friend" of the Indians by baking bread for them and setting it outside the cabin. She was then able to alert Sheridan when the Indian activity increased in the area. The Indians were so impressed by her generosity, they would set guards out to make certain her cabin was never attacked, she would then warn Sheridan they were gathering. My g-grandmother was so impressed by her and her contribution to Denver, they remained friends the rest of her life even though others considered her reclusiveness odd.

A great story and read as always, thanks!

I live in the area where this took place. You can visit the Hungate memorial in Kiowa, although the actual massacre took place a good distance away from there (and is on private property). Check out the book "Cheyenne War - Indian Raids on the Road to Denver" by Jeff Broome. It's an excellent source of information.

How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I didn’t send comments to you from long time. Iam Arabic lady subscriber subscriber to several British and American KZfaq channels. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s battle of sand creek in1864 . Known as sand creek massacre or also as ( chivington massacre) massacre battle of Cheyenne and Arapaho people by USA army and American Indians wars that occurred on November 29 1864 , when 675 men force of third Colorado Calvary. It’s surprise attack on non combatant encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians along big sand creek in southeastern Colorado, killing about 160 men , women, children including elderly or infirm . Roughly 700 federal troops attacked village of Cheyenne and Arapaho. It’s unprovoked attack on men , women, children. Battle between American Indian troops and federal government.after battle of sand creek massacre, war erupted on Great Plains from 1864- 1855 . Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors attacked settlements. Travel is disrupted and Denver is isolated, delaying deliveries of supplies and mail . I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

Great job. O gree up in that area and knew some of information but not that much.

Thank you sir for yet another well resurched & oration of a turbulent past, it's easy to paint these peoples as savages. But as a free people would we not do the same to protect our lands. 74+🍁 hunter Yorkshire expat

Thanks again!

I look forward to each new video, they are terrific

Thanks for the book storys

Great narration and story. Thank you.

These GREAT Pieces of Actual American History written by Americans is what ...... Librarie Story Hour Should Be 👌💪😎

The Bloodless Third becomes the Bloody Third, after their "battle".

The Colorado City error is a major snafu and more research is needed before just searching google maps for a location.

I am curious if you have come across a war with the French in Quebec with the Pawnee around the 1696.

This is exactly how it happend .

Then Shirley Muldowney conquered Pikes Peak

Now we are being invaded 🤔

Indian justice

Why is no one talking about the settlers who were victims trespassing these lands? If they were so scared why did they ignore warnings? They brought that on themselves. They shouldn't have went over there. And now there pertraying Indians as criminals and fought back when they could have walked away from the fight that they started.

This story is told from the viewpoint of a settler and, therefore, one-sided. The truth is much more complex. The Arapaho and Cheyenne were eventually forced to leave or starve or die by violence. Depravities were visited upon the tribes early on. Horse stealing was a common occurrence among the tribes. This is one example of a culture clash. I have researched and studied the Sand Creek massacre for over 20 years. Investigations by federal authorities twice found that what had occurred at Sand Creek was nothing short of a massacre and involved mutilation of the dead. Please don't read the account from the man from the 3rd without giving equal weight to the Cheyenne and Arapaho viewpoint.

OMG! They killed Kenny! First thing I thought when I heard South Park lol

Old man Hungate had it comin , pa said he was a cheater at cards

The White men seem very fair and even headed plus their self sufficiency is to be admired🇺🇸

Arapaho & Cheyenne are not indians. They are Americans.

Native pride, right?

This is totally inaccurate
