- In this video we read from "The Indians of the Pike's Peack Region," by Irving Howbert, published all the way back in 1914. This tells of the Hungate massacre which led to the Battle of Sand Creek in November of 1864 between US soldiers and Cheyenne and Araphahoe Indians.

A great story and read as always, thanks!
thank you very much. i love history but have trouble with my eyes so hearing you read history is a treat.
I live in the area where this took place.
You can visit the Hungate memorial in Kiowa, although the actual massacre took place a good distance away from there (and is on private property).
Check out the book "Cheyenne War - Indian Raids on the Road to Denver" by Jeff Broome. It's an excellent source of information.
Great video. I think that the Colorado City mentioned in the book refers to present day “Old Colorado City “ now incorporated into Colorado Springs on the west side bordering the city of Manitou Springs. Both are in El Paso county. The Colorado City you show on the map is south of El Paso county near the south border of Pueblo county and north Huerfano county.
Thanks, was wondering how they rode so far. Wish Colorado would stop changing the names of everything.
Thanks, you saved me from dragging up some maps as I was listening to this with my head cocked like an inquisitive dog.
I knew of the mistake about Colorado City because I was involved with the addition of Dougherty H.S, in the 80's, which is/was on the outskirts of Colorado Springs at the time-- During the excavation, and layout of the site, an arrowhead, and a broken spear point were found------
I agree. Present day Colorado City didn't exist when these events happened. The West side of present day Colorado Springs was called Colorado City and is now referred to as Old Colorado City. Present day Colorado City is located south of Pueblo, Colorado which is not in the usual range of the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho bands. They mainly stayed between the Arkansas River and The South Platte River. At least before 1864.

This is great history and never use a machine to read your text; a real human voice makes all the difference. This history explains what the white americans had to endure from the native indians and it goes against the sionist media woke narrative against our race. I hope your channel becomes hugely popular among us.

My family had a relationship to General Sheridan and came to Denver around 1875. One of my g-grandmother's good friends was the daughter of John Scott one of Denver's original settlers. Seems as though this lady was a little "different" and lived a reclusive life on their property outside of Denver for many years after. One of the stories she told was that as a young girl she had become a "friend" of the Indians by baking bread for them and setting it outside the cabin. She was then able to alert Sheridan when the Indian activity increased in the area. The Indians were so impressed by her generosity, they would set guards out to make certain her cabin was never attacked, she would then warn Sheridan they were gathering. My g-grandmother was so impressed by her and her contribution to Denver, they remained friends the rest of her life even though others considered her reclusiveness odd.
Like history, enjoying the stories, to bad there true 👍
So interesting! Thank you for this! We know from family history that my husbands ancestors on Prairie Canyon Ranch hid out in a concealed cavern on the property for a time around the time of the massacre. We had thought it was after the massacre, but from what you read here I’m betting it was before the massacre. Good to add to our history.
Awesome channel so glad I found something worth watching 😊
These GREAT Pieces of
Actual American History written by Americans is what ......
Librarie Story Hour Should Be 👌💪😎

Thanks for the book storys
How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I didn’t send comments to you from long time. Iam Arabic lady subscriber subscriber to several British and American UA-cam channels. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s battle of sand creek in1864 . Known as sand creek massacre or also as ( chivington massacre) massacre battle of Cheyenne and Arapaho people by USA army and American Indians wars that occurred on November 29 1864 , when 675 men force of third Colorado Calvary. It’s surprise attack on non combatant encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians along big sand creek in southeastern Colorado, killing about 160 men , women, children including elderly or infirm . Roughly 700 federal troops attacked village of Cheyenne and Arapaho. It’s unprovoked attack on men , women, children. Battle between American Indian troops and federal government.after battle of sand creek massacre, war erupted on Great Plains from 1864- 1855 . Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors attacked settlements. Travel is disrupted and Denver is isolated, delaying deliveries of supplies and mail . I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
Always enjoy hearing what you have researched!

Great narration and story. Thank you.
The Bloodless Third becomes the Bloody Third, after their "battle".
Irving Howbert Elementary School in Coloraod Springs. Colorado City is most likely OLD COLORADO CITY in Colorado Springs, near Manitou Springs. Ute Pass is Hwy. 24 from Colorado Springs to Woodland Park. The Colorado City shown in this story is much farther to the South along I-25 and not founded at the time of 1864.
This is exactly how it happend .
I am curious if you have come across a war with the French in Quebec with the Pawnee around the 1696.
OMG! They killed Kenny! First thing I thought when I heard South Park lol
The Colorado City error is a major snafu and more research is needed before just searching google maps for a location.
Do you cuss in any of your videos?. I’m trying to find something PG for my kids
No I don’t cuss in my videos.
Why is no one talking about the settlers who were victims trespassing these lands? If they were so scared why did they ignore warnings? They brought that on themselves. They shouldn't have went over there. And now there pertraying Indians as criminals and fought back when they could have walked away from the fight that they started.
This is how history has always worked anywhere anytime. Those who are stronger invade thos who are weaker. Those who are weaker lose and either assimilate with those who one or die off.
Then Shirley Muldowney conquered Pikes Peak
This story is told from the viewpoint of a settler and, therefore, one-sided.
The truth is much more complex. The Arapaho and Cheyenne were eventually forced to leave or starve or die by violence. Depravities were visited upon the tribes early on.
Horse stealing was a common occurrence among the tribes. This is one example of a culture clash.
I have researched and studied the Sand Creek massacre for over 20 years. Investigations by federal authorities twice found that what had occurred at Sand Creek was nothing short of a massacre and involved mutilation of the dead.
Please don't read the account from the man from the 3rd without giving equal weight to the Cheyenne and Arapaho viewpoint.
Of course it was his personal observations and experiences, as well as other white settlers reports. And many have reported it from the Indian’s point of view as well. There is no doubt that the Govts in the US tricked, cheated and mistreated them as well. Massacres occurred and those responsible will have been judged already by God, including the guilty Indians.
All men are equal under God.
I'd like to think that most viewers and subscribers realize that.
Thank you MahMah-- Nowhere in this settlers story does it state that they were encroaching on Ute, Arapaho, or Cheyenne territory in Colorado, with the goal of stealing their land, and game---- The natives were defending their way of life, and their ancestral hunting grounds--- The settlers were viewed as very hostile to the natives, and that feeling was pervasive in the upcoming massacre of mostly women and children at Sand Creek, led by an ordained minister-- John Chivington--- Chivington and his men charged into their camp, and slaughtered and murdered hundreds of Cheyenne people----
Hard to read the Indian perspective since most Indian tribes did not have a written language...
Chivington was a lunatic who should have been at Harper’s Ferry.
The White men seem very fair and even headed plus their self sufficiency is to be admired🇺🇸
The story of whites coming to America is filled with atrocities on both sides. For a fair handed recounting of this one good, and highly readable, book is the Frontiersmen by Allan Eckert. Different region but certainly shows that the native Americans were not a peaceful people as many naively claim. They were at constant war with each other. And those wars were incredibly brutal. Their was intelligence and stupidity and cruelty and kindness on both sides. Brutality, no matter who did it isn’t justified. But it is the story played out again and again all through history in every country all through time. The story of the American west is certainly not some extremely anomaly in history.
Indian justice
The First Nation People were amazing people, true stewards of our once spectacular, precious land. So sad America has deteriorated into millions of miles of asphalt roadways for the entitled and lazy, concrete cities and cleared land, barbed wire and polluted waters. Just saying.
They weren’t that amazing. They were just primitive.
You're probably blaming the wrong people. If white Christians were allowed to actually follow the Word of Jesus Christ, we would be more responsible and respectful of our land and neighbors
👍
It was open season on settlers
In the summers the Utes grazed their ponies in a valley just outside present day Cripple Creek. This is probably where they were attacked by Cheyenne and Arapaho so they could take the ponies.
Now we are being invaded 🤔
Arapaho & Cheyenne are not indians. They are Americans.
“Indian” is a legal term used by the US government. As a matter of fact, there was an agency called the “Bureau of Indian affairs” that dealt with all things Indian related.
Tell that to Hollywood.
@@billytrevathan6405 Seems they have offices all over the US currently. Not sure who works in the Bureau but I know that they know that they are "indians". Not Americans. The term has been used so long that it is engrained into society.
Indians use the name for themselves now a days. White folks say native americans
They call themselves Indians and their native tribal names.
So why were the Europeans trespassing?
-COMANCHE NATION
Native pride, right?
always violating treaties. is what led to reservations.
It sounds like they were treated with Christian humility and respect until they became dangerous... what a shock
This is totally inaccurate
Why do you think this
Hinono’ei (Arapaho) stories differ from what the teenaged person that recounted these stories. Look at the history of Denver and other areas of the Front Range.
