   There is an excellent exhibit currently on view   
   at the downtown Denver museum maintained by the   
   Colorado Historical Association.   
      
   "Cheyenne Dog Soldiers"   
   The story of an elite corps of Cheyenne warriors and artists told through the   
   events surrounding the Sand Creek Massacre and their later defeat at Summit   
   Springs.""   
      
   One of the elements of the exhibit is a detailed USArmy accounting of   
   the "captured enemy goods." That list is mostly of domestic   
   items, as you might expect, and not much about "weapons" -   
   of "mass destruction" or otherwise. Sound familiar?
