In 1871 the U.S. Army sent General William

Tecumseh Sherman to investigate conditions in Texas.

Sherman doubted that American Indians posed a

serious threat in Texas. In May some 100 Kiowas and

Comanches led by Big Tree, Satank, and Satanta

attacked a wagon train near Salt Creek, killing seven

men. A Survivor of this Salt Creek Raid reported the

raid to Sherman.
