Sitting Bull and the 1890 Rising at Milk River Camp
An account recalls Sitting Bull as a feared leader who resisted arrest in 1890 at Milk River. The narrator ambles with Colonel Diehl through Wolf Point and Poplar River, detailing a perilous trip to deliver rations and the subsequent General Terry assault on Yanktonai and Sitting Bull camps. Prisoners were moved to Fort Buford as winter claimed many lives.
