Four Men Withstood Sioux Attack At Fort Keogh Frontier Tale
In the early seventies settlers near Miles City faced marauding Sioux led by Sitting Bull. Maxwell and four men, along with two women, fortified a camp near O'Fallon Creek for a siege lasting through the night. Indians attacked, cattle were driven off, and two assailants were killed before relief from Fort Keogh arrived.
