Marshal Myths Episode 3: The Tragedy at Goingsnake

The Tragedy at Goingsnake was a shootout which occurred in the Cherokee Nation of Indian Territory on April 15, 1872. The incident is still the largest single day loss of life for the United States Marshals since creation of the office in 1789. It is also the largest gunfight which ever occurred in the American West and the largest case of Cherokee-on-Cherokee violence in tribal history.

The future United States Marshals Museum will be a national Museum located on the riverfront in Fort Smith, Ark. Once open, the United States Marshals Museum will tell the story of our nation’s oldest federal law enforcement agency from its establishment by President George Washington through current day. The Museum will honor the sacrifice of Marshals killed in the line of duty, as well as those who continue to place their lives in harm’s way, as they enforce the Constitution.
