Forsyth’s besieged force fighting for survival amid Indian siege
The Forsyth party endures a brutal three day siege with all horses killed and seven officers and men unharmed. Lieutenant Fred Beecher and five men are killed or mortally wounded as the defense tightens within Fort Wallace distance. Despite starvation and cutting water from a well, the group holds out with scattered sorties and a final retreat path toward supportive camps.
