[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4164769, member: 7900"] This one is a bit historical. It was the site of the last "major" battle between the Army and the Northern Cheyenne Indians in the state of Kansas. It was kind of a bad outcome for both sides in that the CO of the Army was mortally wounded and the Indians lost a lot of their horses because they had them in another nearby canyon that the Army found. At the end of the canyon in this picture was a cave that supposedly went back about 200 feet, so the Indians put their women, children and elderly in that cave. The Indians had dug out some rifle pits on the hillside around the canyon. The cave has mostly collapsed with very little of it left where the last of the rocks are seen in the picture.

If their account was true, I would have thought that the people would have been captured as well as the horses. [/QUOTE]
