THE PLATTE RIVER INDIAN RAIDS OF 1864: AN INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR JANELLE MOLONY 1001 Stories From the Old West

"Emigrant Tales of the Platte River Raids' author Janelle Molony shares her book and research into the first-hand witness accounts of the survivors of the Platte River Indian raids of 1864. Members of her family traveled with the Earps while other families who names became a part of history, like Ringo, Boone, Brown, all left vivid accounts of the deadly raids which until now history has pretty much overlooked.
