Christmas Day Buffalo Stampede Ends in Brutal Escape
An aged buffalo hunter Charley Trask recalls a Christmas Day 1878 hunt along the Yellowstone near Forsyth. He describes leading a stampede that toppled dozens of buffaloes into the river and cliff, then surviving a dawn attack by Sioux or Crow warriors and losing his camp, skinners, and hundreds of hides. He later recovered some bodies but never found all hides or his pony.
