Because of Chivington a lot of warriors such as Roman Nose went on retalitory raids.

Perhaps it is because I ended up with some books on the REAL history of the Indian wars at that time and not the pablum from the modern revisionists.
I have found that many of the “evil” indians were really not so evil and some of the “innocent Indians” were anything but innocent.
The plains Indians were divided into two groups..Those allied with the US, and those hostile to the US. We had NO WARS with those allied with us.
Fresh white scalps in a “friendly” indian village say a lot.
Now, get me started on the Washita!
Anyone who claims the white man taught the red man about war and atrocities is either a liar or a fool.....
American Indians were just as adept at slavery and savagery as any people whoever lived, all BEFORE the white man came along and dragged this country out of the stone age....
