RE: The Founding of Dodge City - Cow town
Hi @willymac, I am just amazed in the information age, how much we are uninformed. How can we progress from barbarity if we are not taught the mistakes of the past? We have to teach each other what we didn't learn in our indoctrination centers called school.
The news of the carnage was so bad even for back then that the numbers in official reports to Washington would have a digit removed from the right side because the reviewer assumed it had been grossly exaggerated. In some cases, according to contemporary reports, that "correction" would be made yet again by someone higher up before passing it on to the top; reporting 1/100 of the actual reported number.
It was that biggest slaughter of animals in human history.
That was a true "disturbance in the Force."
My two top losses are the burning of the Library of Alexandria, and the slaughter of the Bison.
Wow. Thanks for the additional information.
