The Texas Canyon Battle Where U.S. Cavalry Captured 1,400 Native Horses — Then Destroyed About 1,000 Of Them
And then:
Mackenzie ordered the camp and supplies burned.
He withdrew, taking 1,400 captured horses.
He later destroyed 1,000 of them.
The cavalry suffered no casualties.
Four Indian dead were counted.
Having lost half their horses and all their supplies and shelter, the people drifted back to their reservations.
The gap between “four dead” and “strategic turning point” is filled by 1,000 dead horses, hundreds of burned lodges, and months of winter food stores turned to ash.
