In this episode of Trails to the Washita, we invite Dee Cordry, the author of "Children of White Thunder, Legacy of a Cheyenne Family 1830-2020" to provide our listeners with a perspective of the Plains Tribe during Sheridans Winter Campaign of 1868. Here we discuss various topics, including the incident at Pawnee Fork, the Medicine Lodge Treaty, Tall Bull and his Dog Soldiers, and the Cheyenne Tribal Culture, including the peacekeeping efforts of the council of 44. Throughout this episode, Dee Cordry provides many historical researched events to explain why the Dog Soldiers continued their raids on the white settlements in Kansas and why Black Kettle had no authority over the warrior faction of his tribe. For those who would like to further their knowledge of the Legacy of the Cheyenne people, we highly recommend you select the link provided in this podcast to purchase Dee's book "Children of White Thunder, Legacy of a Cheyenne Family 1830-2020." Support the showCattle Drives WebsiteLegends of Dodge City WebsiteOrder Books
