Approximately 1,000 Sioux and Cheyenne warriors on horseback came down
the hills from the north. (Behind
the marker) |
|
260 Crow and Shoshone scouts mounted their
horses and rode up the hill to blunt the force of the attack. |
|
This maneuver gave General Crook time to
organize his men and take command of the high ground on both sides of the
valley. |
|
The battle lasted over six hours. |
