Victorio's objective was to draw the Army into a trap.
d. The Buffalo Soldiers advanced on horseback up into the mountains where they believed Victorio was. Victorio waited for them up in the high cliffs where he would be able to see them coming.
4. The action:
a.
The troopers rode into a three-way trap with Victorio's men firing from the heights of Las Animas and from the side canyon They were suddenly surrounded and fell in a heavy concentration of rifle and arrow fire at the junction of Las Animas Creek (and Canyon) and a side canyon now known as Massacre Canyon. Archeologists in 1999 picked up and mapped hundreds of rifle and pistol cartridges from the battlefield. The troopers had nothing to hide behind but boulders, a few rock shelves, and the trees.
