Satanta and His Trial in Texas Border Justice
Satanta and Big Tree faced murder charges in a Texas court after raids on Jacksboro and Fort Griffin. The trial featured dramatic oratory, vivid testimony, and Satanta’s defiant speech before a watching frontier crowd. Sentences were commuted, then later parole revoked, ending with Satanta’s deathly escape from Huntsville prison.
