Sole Survivor recounts massacre of six men by Sioux in Bear Lodge
An aged survivor named Hank Joplin tells of a 1866 expedition from Omaha to the Bear Lodge range near Deadwood. After gold was found and a cabin attacked by a large Indian force, six men were killed or mutilated while Joplin barely survived, later recounting the ordeal and his journey to Delaware. The piece contrasts Indian ambuscade tactics with white military methods and notes plains geography and Sioux warfare.
