Wagon Mound massacre

Indian attack on civilians in 1850

The Wagon Mound massacre was an attack on a US Postal Service ox-wagon carried out on May 7, 1850 by a band of Jicarilla Apache and Mouache Ute Indians on the Cimmaron Cutoff route of the Santa Fe Trail, near Wagon Mound, New Mexico. The bodies of the 10 Americans killed in the attack were found nearly two weeks after the attack, on May 19, 1850, by a US Cavalry patrol originating from Las Vegas, New Mexico.
