Massacre of Salt Creek Prairie
Massacre of Salt Creek Prairie: The Warren Wagon Train raid, also known as the Salt Creek Prairie massacre, occurred on May 18, 1871. Indian warriors destroyed the corn supplies, and killed and mutilated seven of the 12 wagoneers' bodies as well as their mules. Three Kiowa chiefs were identified and arrested. Two of the three were tried and convicted of the massacre; the third attempted to escape and was killed. It appears that the severe mutilation of the wagoneers, rather than the number killed was the overriding factor that so outraged all who were involved in the incident.
