The Wagon Mound massacre was an attack on a US Postal Service ox-wagon carried out on May 7, 1850 by a band of Jicarilla Apache and Mouache Ute Indians on the Cimmaron Cutoff route of the Santa Fe Trail, near Wagon Mound, New Mexico.[1] The bodies of the 10 Americans killed in the attack were found in Santa Clara Springs near Wagon Mound by travelers on May 19, 1850, about a week after the attack.[2]
