Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Not our finest hour -- Colonel John M. Chivington led a controversial surprise attack, known as the Sand Creek Massacre, on a surrendered, partially disarmed Cheyenne Indian camp in southeastern Colorado Territory; more than 230 Native Americans were killed. And horrors! Coffee rationing begins. On November 29, 1942, coffee joins the list of items rationed in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I've been to the Sand Creek site. Lots to see and, well, feel there. I'd recommend a visit there for anyone traveling through the area. Definitely a dark hour in US history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Is that what the mini series "centennial " was portraying with Richard crenna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Also. November 29, 1872 The Modoc War began with the Battle of Lost River, a skirmish along the California-Oregon border when an U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Regiment tried to force Modoc Indians to return to the Klamath Reservation. In the end, Captain Jack of the Modoc and 53 warriors held off over 1,000 U.S. soldiers for 7 months before he and three other warriors were hung and his people sent into exile. The history reads like a Shakespearian tragedy. Visit ThisWeekinCaliforniaHistory.com #California #IndianWars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 While I can’t say I enjoy visiting sites like Sand Creek and Mountain Meadow, I do it. You have to take the good with the bad. Just wrapping yourself in the flag doesn’t make you a good American in my opinion. To truly love your country, you have to understand it. Warts and all.
