Eighteenth Infantry at Absaraka Era and Fetterman Tragedy
A historical account recalls the 1860s Bozeman Trail campaign led by Colonel Carrington, establishing Fort Phil Kearney and the Massacre Hill ambush that felled Capt. Fetterman and 81 men. It traces the regiment’s long frontier service, Civil War fame, and later World War II era distinctions.
