This episode of the 1836 Podcast shares the explosive true story of Ned Christie: a Cherokee national councilman turned fugitive who, in 1892, made his defiant last stand against a large Arkansas posse of US Marshalls, armed with guns, a cannon, dynamite, and a thousand-dollar bounty. Follow his five-year war against Judge Parker’s court—from the controversial and disputed killing that branded him an outlaw to the blazing siege that ended in 87 bullets and a body paraded through Fort Smith. Murderous outlaw… or framed Cherokee patriot? You decide.
