What I read, & I don't have the source in front of me, was Silas Soule's actual handwritten report. The day after the massacre, Chivington ordered him, as punishment for disobeying his order to unlimber his canon during the massacre, to do a body count.https://twitter.com/RussContreras/status/1230891858932289536 …
Thank you. Again, the ranger at the site, tribes and historians have the number killed much higher. Especially the tribes, whose accounts often get ignored over those of whites.
