Indian Springs Massacre

Overview
An angry mob of settlers attacks an encampment at Indian Springs, killing many Native Americans and burning their possessions

History
Exaggerated tales of the killing of a prospector by a Native American prompt an angry mob to attack an encampment at Indian Springs on June 30, 1856. Most of the Native Americans were killed and their homes and possessions burned. The shameful incident is dubbed "the Indian Springs Massacre" and is largely ignored by local schools and historians for the next 125 years.
