I have. What the Soldiers found in the camp of these "innocent Indians" will interest you.

Now we are peaceably disposed, but decline giving such testimonials of our own peaceful proclivities, and I say here as I said in my own town, in the Quaker country of Clinton, State of OHIO, one night last week, I STAND BY SAND CREEK!"
J. M. CHIVINGTON 1883

"Colonel Chivington's speech was received with an applause from every pioneer which indicated that they, to a man, heartily approved of the course of the colonel twenty years ago, in the famous affair in which many of them took part, and the man who applied the scalpel to the ulcer which bid fair to destroy the life of the new colony, in those critical times, was a doubt the hero of the hour."
