John Chivington earned the nicknames The Fighting Preacher and Fighting Parson, on November 29, 1864, when he led more than 800 troops on an unprovoked attack of a peaceful Cheyenne village and massacred 150-200 Native Americans (nearly all women and children). Chivington was both an Army officer (who left the service in disgrace) and a Methodist lay minister.
