Last Buffalo

These iron sculptures by Todie Zweygardt are in memory of the Cheyenne and other Indians, survivors of the 29 Nov. 1864 Massacre at Sand Creek, Colo., who fled to this Cherry Creek Valley, remaining until joined by forces of there Plains tribes for an attack at Julesburg, Colo. on 7 Jan, 1865.

In the valley below, on 25 April 1887, Sam Ferguson and neighboring homesteaders shot and butchered the last known bull buffalo of this area.
