Their Bones Bleached on the Colorado Prairie: Jim Reynolds' Outlaw Gang Ordered Shot By Martial Law

In this video we read from "True History of Some of the Pioneers of Colorado," by Luella Shaw, published all the way back in 1914. This tells of the Hungate massacre which led to the Battle of Sand Creek in November of 1864 between US soldiers and Cheyenne and Araphahoe Indians. It also tells of an outlaw band led by Jim Reynolds.

Sitting into this Time-Travel seat for a 20 minute visit with some old ghosts. Have usually always liked their kind . . .

I live in the area where he operated. His gold is buried up here behind the high-school. I've wanted to go out there but it mostly private land unless I start at one of the points on national forest. It's about 12 miles from the closest starting point. This is a great video. Probably the most detailed. I've always wanted to know about him and his crew. I'm from GA originally. I have 6 of my 3rd great grandpa's fought for the confederacy. And 1 that fought for the union.

Sweetie, they will NEVER put what you talk about in a history class. Not EVER!😂 God bless you, I love your stories about our ancestors. But those mysterious “they” people don’t want us to have pride in our heritage.

[@deadhorse1391]

A different than usual video but I liked it! Wonder what happened to the gold they stole?

He's a history teacher. No frills-straight up, no chaser.

[@ratroute8238]

It is clamed that horse thieves were NOT hung by law in the old west and that you could not use deadly force to stop horse or cattle stealing. An on line search gives results that seem to back this up.............but what do the *written history* say on this subject?

[@toddstrickland973]

Reynolds met his maker in south park Colorado.

[@geneotrexler8246]

Good video 👍

[@charlespendola4775]

Good vid!

[@RBG-tr9ce]

Sand Creek wasn’t a battle it was a massacre of peaceful Indians flying the US flag over the village. The Government told them that flying the flag would keep them safe. Soldiers killed everyone that they could, women children were not spared.

The settling of the Hungate family and other colonizers precipitated the problems with the natives.

[@ionidhunedoara1491]

They are called pioneers, not colonizers.

[@alwaysfourfun1671]

@@ionidhunedoara1491 There were plenty of people living in the countries the "pioneers" colonized. These people knew every detail of the country. The people were also often used for knowledge and scouting. Then the pioneers/colonizers claimt the water sources, the wild game, the grassy areas, which precipitated the problems between civilizations. I don't blame the pioneers/colonizers. It is what it is. Humans have always used other humans to improve their own live. I object to our thinking that the original inhabitants caused a problem when foreigners entered lands that sustained the natives. That is a reversal of facts.

[@ionidhunedoara1491]

@@alwaysfourfun1671 I think you meant to say Apache raiders displaced the Tonkawa and raided the Caddo confederacy for slaves to sell at Santa Fe to the Spanish/ later Mexicans. If there were no takers, the captives would be killed. Apaches were later displaced and many killed by the newly arrived Comanche raiders coming from the north. The early pioneers suffered greatly from these raids until suppressed by the US calvary, Texas rangers and pioneers themselves. This is how Texans view this history- I hope this sits well with you. .

@@ionidhunedoara1491 Within the necessary brevity, this is quite correct. Humanity rolls on.

[@notsomeanmark]

Love your channel. As a history lover and Coloradoan, I'm enjoying these stories.

[@drivebyquipper]

Most are about Texas, but Unworthy History isn't picky.
