Hancock's War: Conflict on the Southern Plains Volume 28

by William Y. Chalfant

Book Overview

When General Winfield Scott Hancock led a military expedition across Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska in 1867, his purpose was a show of force that would curtail Indian raiding sparked by the Sand Creek massacre of 1864.
