Massacre at Salt Creek prairie - By medal of honor recipient Robert G Carter

The Salt Creek Massacre, also known as the Warren Wagon Train Massacre, happened on May 18th, 1871, a Kiowa raid took place nine miles from Graham, Texas on a lonely stretch in the Loving Valley and the Salt Creek Prairie. On this afternoon, 150 Kiowa Indians waited hidden behind a hill, near the point where the Butterfield Overland Stage crossed the North Branch of Flint Creek, for a wagon train carrying supplies to the nearby fort. Initially, the Salt Creek Massacre was just another successful raid carried out by the Indians against the white intruders who had invaded their territory. For the white settlers it was the final straw. They had had enough from the Indians.

The AI has more words than a politician. Kinda understand the Westerners and the Indians each side. Kiowa/ Comanche were fighting for their homeland and the Westerners wanted " civilized" land. However there was massacres by both....Wounded Knee for instance.

I like the story's but the AI voices really suck most of the time it can't read, and pronounce the words right.

I just always feel bad for the native people whose way of life as they had know it for ages was coming to an end.

It would appear the Indians were somewhat upset....

Must have been hell to be locked up like an animal for an Indian chief.

"He was stark naked but for a breech clout and beaded moccasins. His coarse black hair, powdered with dust, hung tangled about his neck except a single scalp lock with an eagle feather to adorn it. The muscles stood out on his giant frame like knots, and his form was proud and erect in the saddle, while his motionless face and body gave him the appearance of a bronze statue. Nothing but his intensely black glittering eyes betokened any life in his carved figure."

Laudable narration.
