According to Ute legends, the biggest slaughter of white men by Indians didn't occur at the Little Big Horn, but at Rock Creek, where in 1840 nearly a thousand Spaniards were slaughtered by Indians, ending once and for all the era of the Spanish gold seekers. This story is about that last great battle.
"This battle didn't get into the history books because the Indians won, and there were no survivors; and because the Indians didn't keep a written history," Nelson said.
