THE HENNESSEY MASSACRE By ROBERT F. TURPIN Friends, lots of times in the old Army-Indian wars, there was a question about the cause of the battle. Here, the noted western author Robert F. Turpin investigates and reports whether the Hennessey ambush was perpetrated by the Indians or the White Man. Regardless of the reports, the death of Pat Hennessey became a far more vital factor in the affairs of the Southwest than he, himself, had every been in life. His brutal death was not an isolated and inconsequential act of violence. It had repercussions that were long-lasting and far reaching. Though he was only a lowly and obscure freight driver, he was a man of considerable warmth and personal magnetism - well-known and loved up and down the Chisholm Trail.
