Listen Later

In 1890, Col. James Forsyth - Maumee, Ohio born and bred - led the 7th Calvary into Wounded Knee, South Dakota to disarm 250 Lakota Indians who white settlers were fearing after the murder of their spiritual leader, Sitting Bull. What followed was a massacre of mostly unarmed warriors, women fleeing with babies clutched to their chests, and children hiding in ravines.
