Edward Wanshaer Wynkoop.
Edward Wanshaer Wynkoop, youngest son of John Wanshaer Wynkoop and great-grandson of Judge Henry Wynkoop of Bucks County, Pennsylvania went west at a seminal time in our nation's history. Although he is most closely associated with the Sand Creek Massacre of November 29, 1864, (an event he took no part in), and it's aftermath, (where he took center stage), it is for his efforts on behalf of the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations that he will probably be best remembered. As Indian agent for these tribes he worked tirelessly to improve their lot and their relations with the Federal government.
Ned, (as he was better known), was a product of his times, a man of many preconceptions who was able to rise above these early prejudices and come to a level of understanding and compassion for Native Americans which was unusual for the time. It is said that he was single-handedly responsible for the peace of 1866 that settled over the plains after the Indian wars of the early 1860s.
Ned led an eventful life, serving as Sheriff of Arapaho County, Major in the 1st Colorado Volunteers during the Civil War, Indian Agent for the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations, later moving east for a time to supervise some family steel mills with his brother, Colonel John Estill Wynkoop, in Pennsylvania and finishing his career as Warden of the New Mexico State Penitentiary in Santa F�, New Mexico.
Among his many friends, acquaintances and even enemies could be counted Captain Silas Soule, Kit Carson, "Wild Bill" Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Captain Jack Crawford, the Poet Scout, Generals William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip Sheridan, Winfield Scott Hancock and George Armstrong Custer, to name a few. His life spanned one of the most turbulent eras of America's history. In reading some of the articles posted here you will find that Ned left the world a better place than when he found it.
