Miles Attacks Crazy Horse Camp South of Tongue River
Col. Nelson A Miles commands 436 soldiers with two artillery pieces to strike Crazy Horse's camp along Tongue River during a cold January 1877 crossing. The advance faces Cheyenne and Oglala defenses atop the valley slopes as a three mile riverbank camp is enveloped. A prior small party is captured and wars over the crossing back toward the Big Horn Mountains ensues.
