Clara Blinn Harrowing Odyssey: A Journey through 1868 Kansas and the Indian Wars with Siobhan Fallon
With the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, thousands of displaced Native Americans from the Great Lakes, forced out west twenty-five years before 1854, were once again forced to relocate from the newly created state of Kansas. Encroaching settlers greatly upset many Indians, particularly young men of the Cheyenne tribe. Some bands of the Cheyenne vehemently opposed the deals their chiefs and the U.S. government continued to make. The plains tribes began forming militias as early as the 1840s, the most famous being the Dog Soldiers. Their name is derived from the French word for dog, “Chien,” since the word sounds similar to “Cheyenne.“ From 1864 to 1868, the Dog Soldiers created multiple atrocities across Kansas, and many of these stories remain to be told.
