    The Plains Indian Wars - Second Half

    The Plains Indian Wars - Second Half

    Presented by Community Performing Arts Center Foundation at Community Performing Arts Center

    December 6, 2011

    The second half of this epic story picks up in the spring of 1868, after the Ft. Laramie Treaty of that year, and takes everyone the way to the end, at Wounded Knee in 1890. In this half of the story the fortunes of the Lakota Sioux fade away, the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers under Roman Nose are defeated by the winter and Army persistence and hear from the Comanche and the Kiowa on the Southern Plains. This half of the story includes the Battle of Beecher's Island, the massacre of Black Kettle's peaceful Cheyenne camp on the Washita by Custer at dawn on that cold November morning, and in turn the destruction of Custer at the Little Big Horn. It also includes the Battle of Summit Springs, the Southern Plains Uprising of 1873, Quanah Parker's Red River War with its Battles of Adobe Walls and Palo Duro Canyon, and ends with the Great Sioux War of 1876 up north, and finally Wounded Knee. Jack tells it all, and in addition, in this half tells about the Comanche and the Kiowa as a people. It is a fascinating story.
