    Tears In the Sand vs Silas Soule.
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021*

As a songwriter who was inspired by the Documentary film Tears In The Sand (about the Sand Creek Massacre) I was inspired to write my song The Ballad of Silas Soule. Soule's story was covered in the doc film as he would not charge his command against the peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians but also that he formed a defensive line between the Indians and the Chivington led Colorado army saving many family lines of the Cheyenne and Arapaho. those descendants do a ceremony for Silas in thanks for his "moral courage", every year. Bensing did not include this important info in his book. I did in my song. If you want to read the lyrics look me up (Georgie Jessup).The book is short and it lacks the passion that this story deserves. I found the read boring.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well researched and entertaining
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017*

Mr. Bensing's book is long overdue. I don't know how he got onto the story of this little known hero, but I was very pleased to discover it. He writes an academic history but tells a compelling story. Silas Soule is the man most little boys want to become. From his work on the Underground Railroad as a teenager to the plot to free John Brown to his resistance of illegal orders to participate in a massacre, this man is a true American Hero.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting glimpse into an early Civil War/Indian War veteran
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013*

This book made me think of Forest Gump, because Silas Soule was in an amazing amount of contact with events and characters of both the Civil War and Indian Wars.  From John Brown to John Chivington to Sand Creek, it was amazing how Soule happened to be at the right place at the right time to be center stage with main players and important events.What the book brought out was the development of Soule's character and how he sought to help the slaves of his day and then later, how he refused to participate in the Sand Creek Massacre and testified against Chivington.Whether Soule was unfortunately murdered or whether his death was an assassination is a mystery that remains unsolved.  This book gives evidence for both sides of the issue.Overall, a good, but short read.
