After the Battle at Crazy Woman’s Fork Funeral for five enlisted men
After Mackenzie’s clash with Dull Knife, Shoshone watchers saw hostile chiefs return to a ruined village where 200 tepees had stood. Snow-covered embers hid two murdered women and trophies of scalps and child hands. Five enlisted men were buried at Crazy Woman’s Fork on November 30 with Episcopal rites, taps and volleys. Private Beard’s grave was buried under snow and may remain undiscovered by natives.
