Description

In Tribune, Kansas, a small, irregular creek runs through the woods just north of the town. It’s been known as White Woman Creek for as long as anyone can remember, but the legends about where that name came from are anything but consistent. Most agree that in the 1860s, a local woman was kidnapped in the area and either killed by the Indians who captured her or else freed by nearby Cavalry Troops.  Other legends say she committed suicide after witnessing the brutal death of her husband at the hands of the Indians. As author Robert Peterson dug into the truth behind the legends, he discovered just why the Indians were angry at the white men there, what tribe was responsible, and eventually, even where she was actually killed and buried. He also stumbled across the infamous ghost story…and maybe even witnessed the spirit herself.In Tribune, Kansas, a small, irregular creek runs through the woods just north of the town.
