- Education
Get ready for a no-holds-barred journey into the heart of the American frontier. We'll be tracing the footsteps of Major General Winfield S Hancock and his sizable force as they ventured into the volatile landscape of 1867 Kansas. A land where settlers, travelers, and Native American tribes clashed, and tension was as tangible as the dust underfoot.
Our guide through this historical odyssey? Edmund Guerriere. A French trader by profession, a Cheyenne Indian by birth, and a survivor of the horrific Sand Creek Massacre. Edmund's compelling narrative paints a vivid picture of the expedition to Fort Larnad, the dramatic confrontations with the native tribes along the Pawnee River, and his encounters with fascinating characters like the iconic California Joe and Wild Bill.
And hold on to your seats as we recount the nerve-jangling night when Edmund entered the Cheyenne camp under Hancock’s orders to interpret and mediate. Feel your heart pound as we spin the tale of the ensuing confrontation, the tribe’s dramatic exodus, and Custer’s frantic, but ultimately futile, attempt to capture the fleeing tribes. As the show closes, you will be left with an unforgettable image of Edmund's encounter with a Cheyenne warrior, a poignant reminder of the human drama that unfolded on the plains of Kansas during this tumultuous period..” You can purchase the book Trails, Forts, Treaties and Indian Wars at Amazon.com
