Prospecting Expedition Fends Off Sioux Threats at Yellowstone
An expedition guided by Vernon and joined by 50 men and Gov. Potts pursued gold rumors in the Sioux region. They built rifle pits, repelled a major Indian assault, and conducted two battles near the Yellowstone and Little Big Horn rivers. The party returned to Bozeman with scarce finds, noting vigilance against hostile tribes and the costly open-field combat.
