WASHINGTON (A') - T h e
My Lai atrocities, if they did
occur, are not unusual in Amer-
ican history. What is unusual is
that charges have been filed and
men are being brought to court
martial.
Although Americans h a v e
been punished for isolated atro-
cities in time of war, the men
accused of wiping out the South
Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai
probably are the f i r s t to be
court-martialed o n massacre
charges. E
The first massacre in Ameri-
can history was committed by
the same Spanish force which
established St. Augustine, Fla.,
the nation's oldest city.
The Spaniards wiped out a ri-
val French settlement at Ft.
Caroline on Sept. 30, 1566. Even
the sick were hauled from their
beds and slain. The slaughter
continued along the Florida'
coast for several w e e k s until
more than 500 were dead.
"I put Jean Ribaut the French
leader and all the rest of them
to the knife," reported Don Pe-
dro Menendez de Aviles, "judg-
ing it to be necessary to the ser-
vice of the Lord our God and of
Your Majesty."
In 1622 Opechancanough, bro-
ther of Powhattan, decided to
drive the Europeans back into
the sea. In a surprise attack 357
English settlers were killed on
March 22.
The English spent the next
two years destroying Indian vil-
lages in retaliation, but Opech-
ancanough was n o t deterred.
Twenty y e a r s later, he tried
again and killed 500 settlers.
The English repeated their ear-
lier performance and this time
managed to kill the Indian lead-
er.
When a Boston trader was
killed by Indians in -1636, the
Massachusetts Puritans respond-
ed by attacking a Pequot In-
dian camp on the Mystic River
and slaughtering 500 men, wo-
men and children.
Land speculators trying to
steal Indian hunting grounds
brought on N e w England's
bloodiest war and destruction of
the Narragansetts who stood in
their way.
In a surprise attack Dec. 19,
1675, on the principal Narra-
gansett village, some 300 wo-
men and children were massa-
cred. Most of the braves escap-
ed to join the Nipmucks, but
this put the Nipmucks in a food
crisis and brought on more war.
The whites stopped this threat
by slaughtering the village of
Peskeompskut in May 1676.
For the next two centuries the
Indians resisted land grabs but
they consistently lost. The worst
Indian slaughter was dealt by
Andrew Jackson against Creeks
who sided with the British in
the war of 1812.
In t h e Battle of Horseshoe
Bend on March 27, 1814, more
than 800 Creeks were killed -
fourt times the number of whites
who died with Custer. Jackson
forced the few survivors to sign
over half their land.
When white settlers decided
they wanted Indian land in the
Illinois plains country, a white
mob fell upon the main Sauk
village in the spring of 1829 and
drove the natives f r o m their
corn fields. Other Indians took
the hint and fled across the
Mississippi River. But after a
miserable winter in Iowa with-
out food or shelter, Chief Black
Hawk decided to return his peo-
ple to their homeland.
On April 6, 1832, Black Hawk
and 1,000 followers returned to
the Rock River Valley, only to
run into a militia army. Black
Hawk'tried to surrender but was
answered by fire from a gun-
boat. For three hours the fron-
tiersmen drove the Indians into
the river at bayonet point, then
shot them as they struggled in
the water. Only 150 were taken
alive.
Discovery of gold in Colorado
sent thousands of miners Ito
U.. h
caves or dig into the sand, but
they were dragged out and kill-
ed.
Black Kettle and a h'andful
of braves escaped, but left be-
hind the mangled bodies of 450
Indians, most of them women
and children.
"They were scalped," a wit-
ness reported, "Their brains
knocked out; the men used their
knives, ripped open women,
clubbed little children, knocked
them in the head with their
guns, beat their brains out, mut-
ilated their bodies in every sense
of the word.
"The colonel all the time in-
citing his troops to their dia-
bolical outrages.",

In the cold dawn of Nov. 27,
1868, Custer stormed the village
and slew nearly 200 men, wo-
men and children. This .t i m e
Black Kettle, the luckless peace-
maker, was among the dead..
In a letter to the: St. Louis
Democrat, one of. Custer's offi-_
cers described the scene that
followed:

Cheyenne and Arapaho lands.
After three years of warfare the
Indians tried to lay down their
arms in the autumn of 1864.
Chief Black Kettle turned to
Gov. John Evans, who said the
war must go on. Black Kettle
then tried to surrender to the
federal government and settled
his tribe in a camp on Sand
Creek near Ft. Lyon, where he
thought he had been guaran-
teed sanctuary.
During the night of Nov. 28.
as 500 unsuspecting Indians
slept, 1,000 Colorado militiamen
under Col. John Chivington, a
former Methodist preacher, sur-
rounded the camp.
At dawn the soldiers charged,
shooting and tomahawking ev-
ery Indian in sight. The Indi-
ans were driven across the camp,
down into the dry bed of Sand
Creek and back against the high
banks on the other side. Women
and children tried to hide in

"In going over t h e battle-
ground the next day I did not

child but was scalped," testi-
fied 1st. Lt.!J a m e s Cannon,
"and in many instances their

most horrible manner.''
"Children two or three months
old," said Janes Smith, an in-
terpreter, "all ages lying there,
from sucking infants up to war-
riors."
"Next morning after the bat-
tle," recalled Cpl. Amos Miksch,
"I saw a little boy covered up
among the Indians in a trench.

Third Regiment take out his
pistol and blow off the top of

No action was ever taken"
against Chivington or anyone
else.

not learn enough from the ex-

war he signed the Treaty of
