Three Trappers Fight Odds 500 Sioux at Pryor Mountain
The 1875 Pryor mountains clash near Beauvaix creek saw Taze well Woody Lew Hubbell and Charles Cocke trapped by 1500 Sioux. They held a barricade, repelled charges, killed a head war chief, and escaped after a harrowing night trek back to the Old Mission. Cocke fell to a Sioux rifle. Hubbell survived and later guided Theodore Roosevelt.
