[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

At the Fetterman Massacre in 1866 the slain American soldiers were so mutilated the details were kept closed for about 20 years.

These may be kept closed for a while.

Interesting side note . . . One body wasn't mutilated at all. The bugler in that group fought so valiantly to the end that the Sioux covered his body with a buffalo robe before they left.

They wanted to take him alive because they had never seen such a valiant warrior, but he killed so many of them that they eventually figured he wasn't worth the risk.
