Ned Wynkoop and the lonely road from Sand Creek / by Louis Kraft.

When gold rusher and land speculator Ned Wynkoop joined the First Colorado Volunteers during the Civil War, he was appalled to witness the Colorado Volunteers' attack on a sleeping Indian camp at the Sand Creek Massacre. This biography centers on Wynkoop's attempts to end the 1864 Indian War and his later work as an Indian agent, when he tried to convince the Indian Bureau to allow the tribes to have guns for hunting and to increase their allotments of food and clothing.--from Book News, Inc.
