The Texas Canyon Battle Where U.S. Cavalry Captured 1,400 Native Horses — Then Destroyed About 1,000 Of Them
The warriors who took positions on the canyon walls were not simply military assets.
They were men who were trying to buy time for their families.
The specific decision to hold that position — to face military fire while the families fled — was a decision made by specific individuals for specific reasons that the military record does not preserve.
The children who fled the canyon in September 1874 were not, in the military record, notable.
They were among the “families” who escaped.
