Subject: RE: Songs about Genocides and Massacres
richr, thanks for posting all of those, particularly the last. When I took Wyoming History in college, from a well-known Western writer, Bill Bragg, now-deceased, I wrote my final paper on the Ghost Dance Religion and was very proud that the person I respected so much, gave me an "A!" Living here, in Wyoming, at the time, I was able to access books published in that time period, for research. It was very interesting and equally so to read a song by an eyewitness such as you've posted.

Thanks, again,
