"Colonel Chivington before he ordered the raid on the Cheyenne peacefully assembled at Sand Creek in Colorado was quoted as saying: "Kill and scalp all, big and little; nits make lice." Chivington, who commanded the attacking force, was a Methodist minister and avid anti-slavery crusader. After the massacre he proudly displayed over 100 scalps and scalps of female pubic hair to audiences who gathered to hear him talk about his exploits."
