Скачать или смотреть Custer Controversies: Were the Washita Captives Abused? Lives of the Little Bighorn Series

On November 27, 1868, the Seventh Cavalry attacked Chief Black Kettle's village on the Washita.

Following General Sheridan's orders “to destroy their village and ponies, to kill or hang all warriors, and bring back all women and children,” LT COL George Armstrong Custer burned the village, killed the Cheyenne ponies, and returned to Camp Supply with 53 Cheyenne women and children.

The plight of the women remains a controversy to this day.

Here we will review testimony by eyewitnesses, Cheyenne oral tradition, and what historians have said over the years.

(Please watch my Washita Series for more about this battle!)
