Chicago fire reference edit
The reference to the Chicago fire is not in the correct chronological order. The Great Fire was in 1871. Any ideas?

Neutrality of Sand Creek Massacre edit
This section uses words like "unfairly" to show bias for John Evans, and goes on to qualify his commemoration in Colorado as "much like" the way modern American soldiers are commemorated for war-time battles in the Middle East. It's extremely disheartening to see a Wikipedia article with this much blatant favoritism.

Property he sold edit
While away, the property he sold was lost in the Great Chicago Fire.
- If he'd already sold it, how did this affect anything? Valetude (talk) 02:28, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- and how did he get rich? founding hospitals, etc does not seem to be a way to amass a fortune — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.38.155.134 (talk) 17:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Lincolns Approval? edit
"An order by Evans to shoot on sight any member of any tribe had been approved by Lincoln." Is there a citation? Did Lincoln like blacks more than natives? Flight Risk (talk) 23:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress edit
