The Chief Who Wanted Peace And Died For It — The Tragic Story Of Black Kettle
He told the chiefs that he had already placed warriors in the field to fight hostile Indians, and that this war would proceed.
He told them that if they wanted peace, they should go to their nearest military commander and submit.
He did not offer them protection.
He did not commit to stopping military operations against them.
He essentially told them that the matter was out of his hands.
Chivington’s behavior was worse.
He told the chiefs that he was not there to make peace.
His position, which became clearer in subsequent weeks, was that no peace was possible — that the war would continue until the Cheyenne had been defeated militarily.
