Indian Raids Roil Platte Valley In 1856 Autumn
In mid August 1856 a Cheyenne war party near the Republican River struck at a mail wagon near Fort Kearny, sparking a sequence of attacks. Troops from Fort Kearny killed six Cheyenne, while the war party killed four in a wagon train ambush. A later assault near O'Fallon’s Bluffs left three travelers dead and a fourth captured. The raids prompted a peace council with Indian Agent Thomas Twiss. Almon W. Babbitt, a Mormon leader and mail courier, was among the twelve white victims, killed near O’Fallon’s Bluffs after passing through Florence on August 26.
