Remembering the "Kidder Massacre" in Northwest Kansas

Nearly 150 years ago, an army search party came across a grisly scene on the High Plains of northwest Kansas. Strewn across the land, near the banks of Beaver Creek in Sherman County, lay the mutilated remains of 12 men. Each body was pierced by 20 to 50 arrows, at least one was partially burned. All the men were scalped. Commentator Rex Buchanan recently visited the area near Goodland where the battle took place.

When a devastating earthquake leveled Haiti in 2010, millions of people donated to the American Red Cross. The charity raised almost half a billion dollars. It was one of its most successful fundraising efforts ever. The American Red Cross vowed to help Haitians rebuild, but after five years the Red Cross' legacy in Haiti is not new roads, or schools, or hundreds of new homes. It's difficult to know where all the money went.
