Crows and Indians figure in 1860 Raynolds Yellowstone expedition
General Raynolds' 1860 Yellowstone journey via Fort Pierre and Powder River faced heavy travel, dubious Crow relations, and Indian negotiations. Encounters with a giant grizzly, Union Pass discovery, and later winter camp at Upper Platte marked the trek, with Bridger's guidance and a rising Pony Express era amid vivid campfire tales.
