Site Visit: Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site
Join J. Aaron Courts, author of Refusal to Obey: A Novel of the Massacre at Sand Creek, at the national historic site and key historical event of his novel.
We will walk the very ground where hundreds of Cheyenne and Arapaho were betrayed by those whose protection they believed they were under, and where one man, Captain Saila Soule, made the most important decision of his life. A decision that made permanent the record of the actions of a few and, in doing so, changed the course of American History.
