Being new to this site, as I began to read the article I thought for sure it would be another one sided rendition of the heroic settlers falling prey to the evil Indians. I was pleasantly surprised by the balanced and detailed lament of an event in history in which all those law and Govt. was supposedly created to serve, suffer at the hands of it's Officials. The US Govt., just as the Crowns of England, France, Spain, and so on that came before it, divides, instigates, and creates conflicts to enrich it's members and associates, at the expense of the public, and all too often with their blood.John Rooneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00452810381755207535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-55078618034871998302015-08-24T19:02:17.767-06:002015-08-24T19:02:17.767-06:00Near the top of the article it is stated: “Althoug...Near the top of the article it is stated: “Although these assaults were made by Indians, each of them were led by or involved with white men.”<br /><br />It would not surprise me in the least if Col. Howe sent word to one of these white leaders that a ripe for the taking wagon train was coming 'round the bend... In fact I'd venture to guess those white leaders were in cahoots with a number of high level military men in the West and in the Plains and certain percentage of the spoils were expected to make their way back up the chain of command. <br /><br />The more things change.....

Such a fantastic command of the language and vocabulary. These ease that is provided by Google Search on the internet allows me to look up the many unused words Mr. Grigg inserts into every article he writes. It's very stimulating and educational beyond the theme of the articles he writes.<br /><br />I have traveled extensively over the territories in which both the Lewis and Clark Expedition ventured as well as the Nez Perce native peoples who fought the United States Military murderers to the very end just 30 miles from safety near the Canadian border at the Bear Paw.<br /><br />It's quite something to actually stand in the places where this history occurred. It gives one the experience of what it would have been like at the time. I highly recommend you all to visit the Big Hole near Wisdom, Montana as well as the Custer's Last Stand site where the U.S. military met their match with the natives they were sent out to assassinate.<br /><br />I certainly hope that Mr. Grigg has made some positive headway with his financial and living issues. I would help but I'm broke too, 70, disabled, and living in a trailer In Athol, Idaho working as a caretaker for a family that has no clue about what is happening to us all.<br /><br />I expect when the country finally collapses, to lose my very small Social Security check and access to the EBT food credits I need to survive. It will be interesting to see what our modern day automotively enabled 'dragoons' do to me when I resist being rounded up to be sent to the nearest FEMA camp to be used as 'voluntary' labor, and eventually compost for their gardens.<br /><br />My best wishes to you, Mr. Grigg. You are a voice of truth in our current intellectual desert here in what used to be Nature's Paradise before the invaders arrived over 400 years ago.Cedric Wardhttp://goldtradercommentsaugust2010.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-30553905235029133772015-08-13T09:59:49.393-06:002015-08-13T09:59:49.393-06:00This story reminds me of the Mountain Meadows Mass...This story reminds me of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The Fancher train consisting of about 140 people was slaughtered by Mormons in 1858 by treachery and deceit as the Mormons went to the circled wagon train to "protect" the people from the indians who were supposedly attacking them. History shows that Brigham Young and the Church ordered the attack. He was facing a war with America as an army was on the way with a solution for the "Mormon problem". Young needed the 1,000 head of cattle to feed his warriors, and the couple of hundred horses would also help the war effort. Of course, all of the gold hidden in the waggons would help to fill his coffers, as well. whirlwindernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-41961192036857491212015-08-13T00:41:57.224-06:002015-08-13T00:41:57.224-06:00it's terrifying how these things just play out...it's terrifying how these things just play out over and over again throughout history.
