First Edition. 8vo. Original Printed Wrappers. 44 pp., Frontis. [portrait of Brigadier General Ranald S. Mackenzie]. A thorough account of this mid-winter attack on the Cheyenne village of Dull Knife and Little Wolf in November, 1876. On November 23, 1876, a Cheyenne Indian from the Red Cloud Agency informed the soldiers of a large Cheyenne village at the source of Crazy Woman Creek, further upstream from the current US camp, in a Bighorn Mountains canyon. Col. Mackenzie was ordered to take the Indian scouts, and all of the cavalry except one company, in search of the village. He led 1000 men, one third of which were Indians. Eventually on November 25, Mackenzie located the camp of Dull Knife and Little Wolf on the Red Fork of the Powder River. Waiting until dawn, Mackenzie attacked and drove the warriors and their families from the village, many leaving their clothes, blankets and buffalo robes behind to flee into the frozen countryside. The Cheyenne village of 200 lodges and all its contents were entirely destroyed. "Rare. This is the story of Colonel Ranald Mackenzie's November 1876 victory against Dull Knife and his Cheyenne in the aftermath of the Little Big Horn battle.this battle was an important part of the Great Sioux War of 1876-77."--O'Keefe 189.
