The amazing life of George Bent spanned one of the most exciting epochs in the nation's history. A survivor of the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre, he rode with the ferocious Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, and became a negotiator for whites and adviser to tribal leaders. He hobnobbed with legends Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hickok, and George Custer, and fought side-by-side with great Indian leaders.
