The Chief Who Wanted Peace And Died For It — The Tragic Story Of Black Kettle
He had just been at Fort Cobb seeking protection.
He was in the assigned reservation area.
He was complying with the Medicine Lodge Treaty he had signed.

They were the flags of a man who understood his situation exactly, who knew what the American government had promised, and who was holding the American government to what it had said it would honor.
The American government didn’t honor it.
