Looking Back Twenty Years on the Bozeman Trail and Sioux Wars
The article recalls the Bozeman Trail’s harsh history from Fort Reno to Fort C. F. Smith and the Red Cloud era. It notes the Fetterman disaster of December 21, 1866, and later Hay Field and Wagon Box fights. It contrasts later battles, breech loaders, and Indian tactics with white counterstrikes, ending with a note on Fergus county historian Bert Replogle and unknown soldier memorials.
