Page iii The Massacre at Sand Creek Narrative Voices By Bruce Cutler UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS NORMAN AND LONDON

Page iv Portions of this work have appeared previously, sometimes in slightly different form, in the following publications: Juniper Press, LaCrosse, WI, Juniper Book #55: "The Letters of Silas Soule"; Kansas Quarterly: "The Attack," "The Old Gentleman on the Train''; The Spoon River Quarterly: ''A Burial." "The Attack" won a Kansas Quarterly First Award for Poetry. The characters depicted in this narrative bear a strong resemblance to their historical namesakes. While many of their actions and statements are carefully reported, their motivations can only be a matter of conjecture. I have taken liberties in this area on their behalf as have the many historians and commentators whose work has stimulated me over the last three decades. My thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Bush Foundation for the fellowships that made the writing of this book possible. This book is published with the generous assistance of Edith Gaylord Harper.
