A courier report from Fort Fetterman dated June 24 recounts a five hour engagement between about 2000 Sioux under Sitting Bull and Crook's 1300 troops with Crow and Snake allies on the Rosebud Creek. Nine soldiers and 18 snakes killed. 21 and 8 wounded respectively. Col. Guy V. Heers wounded. Maj. Turley with supply detachments pushing forward daily.
A compact guide outlines Sidney to the Black Hills route, distances, a future stage line to Custer City, and fares. It lists freight rates, transportation options, saddle horses, work teams, and mining tool prices, noting outfitting costs differ by location and that local supply is cheaper than buying elsewhere.
