How's that for symbolism? Too much, really.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette of Sept. 9, 1876, Chivington at some point had purchased the sacred soda springs of Manitou for $1500, after they had been claimed by Girten, Slaughter, Dick Whitsett, one of the Tappans and Dick Wooten, well-known pioneers. "Pollock, Chivington's son-in-law, bought them from the colonel, and transferred them to someone in Denver as security for debt."
