From the first sparks of conflict in the Cheyenne Campaign of 1857 to the chilling Sheridan Winter Campaign of 1868, we're about to rip the lid off the stories that shaped the American West. It's a wild ride filled with buffalo stampedes, tough negotiations, and gripping battles, so buckle up!
Imagine trudging across the Santa Fe Trail, your heart pounding as a massive buffalo herd stampedes alongside. Envision the terrain under your boots changing from rugged paths to sun-kissed grasslands, the adrenaline rush of the journey pulsating through every fiber of your being. Our guide for this trek is none other than Colonel Edwin Vos Sumner, leading his regiment through raw wilderness, capturing the essence of the era with stark realism.
As our journey nears its climax, we find ourselves caught in a nerve-wracking face-off with a large Cheyenne war party. Listen, as we dissect Bull Sumner's strategic maneuvers during the Battle of Solomon Fork and the aftermath that saw him extending a hand of compassion to his wounded soldiers. This is raw history, up close and personal, as recounted by 17-year-old Robert E. Peck, a recruit in the 1st Cavalry Regiment.
