  • Bent's Fort Teacher Resource Guide-Secondary
    Annotated Resource Set (ARS) Bent’s Fort Teacher Resource Guide-Secondary Title / Content Area: Bent’s Fort-US History Developed by: Kelly Jones-Wagy Grade Level: 9-12 Contextual Paragraph Bent’s Fort in southeastern Colorado, built in 1833 by trader and rancher William Bent, was an important trading settlement in the 1830s. Located on the border of Mexico and US territory and in the heart of Native American country, Bent’s Fort was a hub of globalism, international trade, and international relations. Although Bent mysteriously destroyed it in 1852, the fort was rebuilt in 1976 and is now a National Historic Landmark. Bent’s Fort does not typically align with high school curriculum; however, it is an excellent introduction to the Sand Creek Massacre and Manifest Destiny. The Sand Creek Massacre took place on November 29, 1864, in southeastern Colorado. Colonel John Chivington (the hero of the Civil War Battle of Glorieta Pass) attacked an American Indian encampment made up largely of women and children from the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. About 200 people were killed in the attack, and Chivington paraded body parts of the dead along the streets of Denver. In 1865 Congress led an investigation into the massacre, but Chivington never faced charges for his role. In addition to its connections to the events at Sand Creek, Bent’s Fort helped open up the American western frontier to settlement. It helped America bring forward the concept of Manifest Destiny. 1 Resource Set Title Primary Source Lesson Map of the upper Great The Dawes Act Johnson's new Ft.

Soule Photograph The Sand Creek Massacre Its victims numbered in the hundreds. Cheyenne and Arapaho survivors were displaced, relocated to Indian Territory. Its aftermath included congressional investigations, bitter critics, and staunch defenders, – reprisal, revenge, the mustering out of a Colonel and the resignation of a Governor. Sand Creek also gave rise to a new generation of federal Indian policies, new treaties at the Little Arkansas and Medicine Lodge – and the next generation of fighters and fights: Beecher Island, Washita, Summit Springs, Palo Duro Canyon, Sappa Creek, and the Little Big Horn. Sand Creek is among our nation’s most profound historic places. The event remains a powerful, and to some, sacred symbol of sacrifice and struggle. Seeds of Conflict As Colorado Territory grew, so to did the Fremont’s Orchard foreshadowed war. By tension and fear between settlers and June, the murders of the Hungate family native tribes. The settlers’ desire for near Denver and lingering fears of Indian land and prosperity was confronted by attacks like those at New Ulm, Minnesota nations who lived, hunted, and traveled which had claimed hundreds of lives, across the same areas. Negotiations increased tension among pioneers and between leaders – governors, agents Colorado officials.

    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM ColoradoHistorical Society – Paintingby Robert Lindneux By Gerald Hawkins hen Chivington returned to Denver in mid-62, he received a hero’s welcome, W was promoted colonel of his regiment and made commander of the Military District of Colorado. However, his friend, Governor William Gilpin, was not there to congratulate him for his achievements at Glorieta Pass.1 John Evans had replaced him. What had happened during his absence? In July 1861, fearing an imminent Confederate invasion of Colorado and eager to meet the pressing demands of Colonel Canby in New Mexico, W. Gilpin had requested Washington the permission to recruit Federal troops in Colorado Territory. The Government flatly refused, probably unaware of the gravity of the military situation in that remote part of the American West. Despite this, Gilpin took the initiative to raise a regiment of volunteers, the 1st Colorado. Unfortunately, as he did not have the necessary funds to organize this force, he resorted to extra-legal means. He issued drafts against the Government, in the hope that the Federal Treasury would later reimburse them. As a result, Gilpin gathered the tidy sum of $375,000, which he immediately spent on arming and equipping his new regiment. In any event, he had acted unlawfully, which earned him the wrath of his fellow citizens and that of Washington. Gilpin tried to convince his superiors of the necessity and usefulness of this loan, but President Lincoln found his conduct unacceptable and sacked him after a 1 During the battle of Glorieta Pass, New Mexico, in April 1862, while fighting was raging between the Confederate forces of General Henry Sibley and those of US General Slough, Major John Chivington of the 1st Colorado Volunteers accidentally discovered the location of the Confederate supply train near Johnson’s Ranch.

    Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior The Sand Creek Massacre On November 29, 1864, U.S. Colonel John Chivington and 700 volunteer troops attacked an encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho along Sand Creek. The thunderous approach of horses galloping toward camp at dawn sent hundreds fleeing from their tipis. Many were shot and killed as they ran. While warriors fought back, escapees frantically dug pits to hide in along the banks of Sand Creek - cannonballs later bombarded them. In the bloody aftermath, some of the soldiers mutilated dead bodies and looted the camp. Later, most of the village and its contents were burned or destroyed. Among the slain were chiefs War Bonnet, White Antelope, Lone Bear, Yellow Wolf, Big Man, Bear Man, Spotted Crow, Bear Robe, and Left Hand - some who had worked diligently to negotiate peace. Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site commemorates all who perished and survived this horrific event, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Colorado soldiers. This site also symbolizes the struggle of Native Americans to maintain their way of life on traditional lands. Cheyenne Chief War Bonnet, pictured during a visit to President Abraham Lincoln, was slain at Sand Creek in 1864.

For years, Cheyenne and Arapaho traveled and hunted the “All citizens of Colorado… Great Plains in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. But in 1858, gold fever struck in Colorado Territory. Miners go in pursuit, kill and destroy rushed in and tens of thousands of settlers followed.

  • Chapter 4 Siouan and Other American Indian Occupation of the White River Badlands (Ad 1770-1891)
    CHAPTER FOUR Siouan and Other American Indian Occupation of the White River Badlands (AD 1770-1891) Badlands Historic Resource Study • July 2006 • John Milner Associates, Inc. ________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 4 SIOUAN AND OTHER AMERICAN INDIAN OCCUPATION OF THE WHITE RIVER BADLANDS (AD 1770-1891) Introduction The Spanish and Mexican presence in the American Southwest during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries spread northward, exposing the Plains Indians to European material culture, in particular the horse and gun, but also domestic items like iron hoes, axes, knives, and cooking pots among other items. These items began to influence the lifeways of the Plains Indian tribes prior to the more direct impact of their encounters with Euro- American fur trappers and traders in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. As noted in the previous chapter, the importation of horses onto the Great Plains, combined with increasing population pressures, increased territoriality, and diminished agricultural supplies, as a result of deteriorating climatic conditions during the Neo- Boreal period, led to increased group movements and increased inter-group hostilities. Meanwhile, the westward expansion of Euro-Americans in Canada and throughout the Great Lakes region during the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century had repercussions across much, if not all, of the North American continent. It is during this time that many agricultural groups and woodland-oriented hunting and gathering tribes moved onto the Plains and adopted a fully nomadic, equestrian lifestyle predicated on bison and the hunting of other wild game, supplemented by the collection of wild seeds, berries, and nuts.

  • In 1904 George Hyde, an Independent Scholar on the Old West, Wrote To
    In 1904 George Hyde, an independent scholar on the Old West, wrote to George Bent, a mixed-blood Cheyenne Indian who had been educated in white schools and was then in his early sixties, beginning a correspondence that lasted until Bent’s death in 1918. From his home in Colony, Oklahoma, on the Cheyenne reservation, Bent wrote close to four hundred letters to Hyde, outlining the history of his people. One such letter, written November 27, 1914, and pictured here, begins “My Dear Friend.” Letter courtesy of the Yale Collection of Western Americana, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 34 (Summer 2011): 128–41 128 KANSAS HISTORY GATHERING WAR CLOUDS: GEORGE BENT’S MEMORIES OF 1864 by Steven C. Haack he popular image of the period of westward expansion tends to exaggerate the hostilities between European emigrants and Native Americans. In truth, cooperation and mutually beneficial interaction generally typified the contacts between the two cultures.1 To the emigrant facing the journey ahead or the settler working to build a new life, weather and disease surely posed a greater threat than did armed American Indian resistance. Agreements to allow emigrants passage through the hunting grounds of the Great Plains stood intact for many years, Tfinally wearing thin beneath the sheer volume of the emigration and its impact upon the area’s game and other resources. A total of about three hundred and fifty thousand emigrants crossed the American plains between 1841 and 1866. The annual numbers varied enormously, peaking at fifty-five thousand migrants the year after the discovery of gold in California.
