Passing around traverse Canon for a mile and a half i began the Battle in Good Earnest and dismounting formed in ravines and behind rocks barricades were prepared. For seven hours every charge we made we gained on them till at night our position was not a very Good one As the enemy Lay contiguous to my communication. 1 was Short of rations this morn but by a determined Effort we re our Spring of water from some sharpshooters. This morning i gave our line to the care of capt. Perry commanding the cavalry and capt. Miles battalion of infantry. I Drew out capt. Millers battalion of artillery acting As infantry. Just As we were ready to recommence offensive work capt. Jackson and pack train appeared in sight beyond the indians position.

The indians fought in a recumbent position and kept up a steady fire from behind rocks Trees and every advantageous Rise in the ground like skirmishers and sharpshooters.

Miles scouts an sex Soldier named Howard who married a Niece of sitting Bull in whose Camp he lived some time reached the Tongue River Cantonment on the 17th. Howard talked with the indians regarding the Custer massacre and in consequence of his residence among and relationship with them they talked to him As one of themselves.

Wavering had been the fortunes of the Day but it was evident the advantage was with the Federal army and before our brigade went into action it. Seemed to us the Day was lost. After changing positions several times without fighting Gen.
