Death of the Iron Horse

Description

The Iron Horse was coming….Thundering and panting and breathing black smoke| it was a fearsome thing.
The Cheyenne people had never seen a steam locomotive before| and it terrified them.
Would it come right over the hill| into their camp| just as the relentless soldiers and white settlers had done before?
Powerful words and pictures tell the true story of August 7| 1867 – the only time an “Iron Horse” was derailed by Native Americans.
It is a tale of courage and pride and of a people caught up in an unequal struggle to preserve their sacred way of life.
