Where This Took Place
The Bear River Massacre, as previously stated, was one of the biggest massacres in Native American history, and one that made the Native Americans feel trapped in their own country. The cold morning of January 29, 1863, was a day that no Native American will ever forget. That morning, Patrick N. Conner, and 200 California volunteers, rushed from Camp Douglas, and traveled on horseback to a Native American Shoshone Village on horseback, and laid out the biggest massacres in history, in Franklin County, Idaho. Many of the men: beat, killed, and raped tons of Shoshone mercilessly, in front of their own kind.
