Ill fated 1865 powder river campaign of Col Cole pioneers
The article recounts Col Cole’s 1865 expedition to protect emigrants along the BoLeviad Trail. An inexperienced force, 140 six mule wagons, 3 inch artillery, 60 days rations, and a long march through hostile terrain led to scarce supplies, scarce grass, and heavy Indian opposition along the Powder River Country in Montana.
