No Indian chief tried harder than Black Kettle (1813—68) to achieve peace with whites, yet none was treated so treacherously. Unlike other chiefs, he recognized that the white man would ultimately dominate the territory of his tribe, and worked tirelessly to restrain his warriors and establish peace without bloodshed. But conflict was inevitable. Betrayal by authorities in Colorado resulted in the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre. Then, in 1869, another betrayal cost Black Kettle his life and outraged the nation when Custer attacked his camp on the Washita River. Published in conjunction with the dedication of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, this meticulously researched biography sheds new light on the tragic fate of this peace-loving chief.
Thom Hatch (Colorado), a former newspaper reporter and film and video writer/producer, is the author of several books, including Clashes of Cavalry.
