RE: The Founding of Dodge City - Cow town
howdy again @angiemitchell! yes Ma'am the slaughter of the huge buffalo herds were disgusting, they are a magnificent animal and of course the horrible treatment of the Indians was shameful, the government made hundreds of treaties with them over the years and every single one of them were broken by the government.
both issues were handled horribly and never should have happened the way they did.
As far as the sod house, out on the prairie many settlers built their homes partially underground and used mud for bricks and put a layer of sod, or grass on the roof. here is a photo of one:
thank you so much for commenting!
Ok - interesting! Being partially underground may have been more protective agains an Indian attack? I say that there are people from those times who did the wrong thing with the Indians would be paying a lot of Karma in their future incarnated lives!
yes Ma'am those homes were ugly but strong and the government policies which destroyed the Indian tribes made the federal government responsible for that whole shameful mess. they have apologized since then but haven't done much to help the nations.
