Lindsay GrahamHOST
The man in charge of this mission was 30-year-old Army Lieutenant Ernest Garlington.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
He had no experience on the open ocean, but he was a respected veteran of the Indian Wars, where he had impressed his superiors with his bravery and dedication.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
Garlington knew there was a chance the sea ice would be too thick even for the Proteus to make it all the way to Fort Condor.
Lindsay GrahamHOST
If that was the case, his orders were to leave caches of supplies at predetermined locations along the southern coast of Ellesmere Island.
Chris WimmerHOST
carried news of the killings eastward in hours.
Chris WimmerHOST
Edward Camby would go down in history as the only U.S. general killed in the Indian Wars and the highest-ranking military officer ever killed in conflict with Native Americans.
Chris WimmerHOST
By Sunday morning, April 13, two days after the assassinations, newspapers across the country were printing the story in the largest type they owned.

Edward Fox, a reporter who had slipped into the stronghold weeks earlier and interviewed Captain Jack, led with a more political thrust.
Chris WimmerHOST
The peace policy and the Indian Bureau had accomplished their bitter end and offered, as martyrs to the cause, the lives of a general and a minister.
Chris WimmerHOST
General Canby's death dominated the national conversation in a way that no event in the Indian Wars had since the Fetterman disaster on the Bozeman Trail in 1866.
Chris WimmerHOST
And in some respects, Canby's murder was worse.
Erin HallGUEST
Well, I think a lot of like the history, especially with like the Pequot War, the tactics that were used against the Pequot people in the 1600s keep happening to Native people throughout history all the way up until today.
Erin HallGUEST
the last of the Indian Wars out west.
Erin HallGUEST
And people don't know that this happened right here.
Erin HallGUEST
So I think it's important to learn that history because it pertains to other Native tribes as well.

the soldiers who came to be known as the Buffalo Soldiers.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Fort Davis was abandoned by the Army in 1891 after the Indian Wars in Texas had ended and the railway had made the old road unnecessary.

Its stone and adobe buildings still stand in their canyon beneath the Red Cliffs, cared for today as a National Historic Site, one of the best-preserved frontier forts in the American Southwest.

The town of Fort Davis grew up beside it, and in the hills above it, many years later, the MacDonald Observatory was built.
Buck SextonHOST
I have it sort of organized by subject matter, not obviously by alphabetical.
Buck SextonHOST
And so I'm looking at Indian Wars of Texas, Lone Star, Empire of the Summer Moon, all these different books.
Buck SextonHOST
But back to Texas...
Buck SextonHOST
This was really interesting because we've talked about this long ago on the show.
Guscilla JohnsonPANELIST
I think that, yes, there definitely was something going on, but then I think that the girls started to lean more into it when they saw the benefit of those accusations and what they had to gain from it.
Mercedes KirtleyPANELIST
I think it's also important to consider, obviously, the Indian War, like, you know, just happened.
Mercedes KirtleyPANELIST
And, like, you know, a lot of these people have lost their homes and lost their families.
Mercedes KirtleyPANELIST
And, I mean, PTSD can, flashbacks can be fully immersive.
Mercedes KirtleyPANELIST
This time Puritan, like, religion was very fear-based.
Mercedes KirtleyPANELIST
And, like... atoning for like the sin of being human and like being god's creation so you already feel a guilt for literally just existing and a fear that you might not be one of the chosen people to go to heaven and you know i mean if you're not chosen to go to heaven then where else are you gonna go we're susceptible to obviously making signing little books for the devil
Lorelai KirtleyPANELIST
I think mentioning the Indian War is very important because of the fact that so many of the apparitions that they saw were, like, Black men, but not in the sense that we think of them.
Lorelai KirtleyPANELIST
It's the, like, it's the Native people to the land that they were most likely imagining because of, I mean, the Indian War was brutal.
Peter RowanGUEST
But it took me out to the land of the Navajo and it took me out to camping and living in the desert and writing that song in the land of the Navajo.
Peter RowanGUEST
I was really, really wondering what it was that had divided this country from its native indigenous people in the Indian Wars.
Peter RowanGUEST
So that's what I began studying.
Peter RowanGUEST
And also, you know, it's generational, the 60s generation.

Michael BerryHOST
So I decide I'm going to see I usually go to YouTube because I'll find a subject.
