Cheyenne Hole
The Story of the Sappa Creek Massacre, 23rd April, 1875.
by Andrew Hogarth & Kim Vaughan.


Based on oral history as told by Southern Cheyenne traditional tribal historian Chief John Sipes Jr. Hogarth and Vaughan have investigated the Indian version of the massacre using original source material including that of the late Mari Sandoz’s work. This story challenges the commonly recorded version of the massacre based on the military report of the officer in charge, Second Lt. Austin Henely. The twenty four page booklet includes photographs of the site, computer maps of the area and the evolution of the incident. Includes sketches of native people by Australian artist Paul Farley.
