This is the entry from my book: "The army and Indians fought in the Powder River country. Forces under General Patrick Connor attacked an Arapaho village at a site that is near modern Sheridan, Wyoming."
The entry from my book: "At the same ceremonies attended by the Cheyenne earlier in the week, Red Cloud and Crazy Horse’s Sioux decided to attack Fort Phil Kearny in northern Wyoming (south of modern Sheridan). Hoping to lure the soldiers out of the fort, Crazy Horse launched a diversionary attack on a woodcutter’s camp near the fort. A large group of warriors went into hiding, waiting for the soldiers to come to rescue the woodcutters. For some reason, the Indians in hiding revealed themselves prematurely, and the ambush failed. Since the soldiers would not leave the fort, Red Cloud decided to direct his entire force against the woodcutters. The woodcutters had built a barricade of logs and wagon beds. Red Cloud faced the same rapid-fire rifles the Cheyenne had faced the previous day. Charges on horseback and on foot proved too costly to the Sioux. The Sioux gathered their dead and left. According to army records, one officer (Lieutenant J. C. Jenness), five soldiers, and sixty Indians were killed. Two enlisted men and 120 Indians were wounded in the fighting."
I went from here to the Fetterman Battlefield. It was getting too dark for pictures, and my
camera batteries needed charging. So, I headed north, and spent the night in Crow Agency,
Montana across the freeway from the Little Big Horn.
