Bowen to Present on the Lost Sand Creek Site Discovery in La Junta on Saturday, October 25

The following news release is from the Bowens.

LA JUNTA, CO - Mike Bowen, with The Lost Sand Creek, will be presenting at the Woodruff Memorial Library in La Junta, located at 522 Colorado Ave., on Saturday, October 25 at 1 p.m. on the discovery of the Lost Sand Creek Site, the real location of Black Kettle’s village and running battle areas. The Friends of Woodruff Memorial Library is hosting the book program.

Chuck Bowen, with the assistance of his wife, Sheri, discovered the Lost Sand Creek Site on the Bowen family ranch in the late 90’s. They found over 4,000 village and battle artifacts, all starting about two miles up the creek from where the Sand Creek Battle Ground monument once sat at the National Park Service Sand Creek site. The Bowens’ archaeological discovery not only shows the real 1864 Sand Creek location, it reveals the truth about that event.

Mike Bowen co-authored We Found the Lost Sand Creek Site with his father, Chuck, which provides a detailed account of the discovery. There are over 100 photos of artifacts and maps in the book explaining artifacts found and where they were found.

Come learn how this amazing Sand Creek site discovery brings clarity to the 1864 event and why it matters 160 years later. There is a lot of information about Sand Creek in their book that had not been previously made available to the public.

See Sand Creek artifacts! The program is free to attend. Books will be available to purchase. Don’t forget to get your book signed!
