In the summer of 1868 Major George A. Forsyth, under orders from General Sheridan, raised a company of fifty "first-class hardy frontiersmen" to seek out and engage hostile Native Americans. These scouts soon found themselves outnumbered and surrounded by hundreds of Cheyenne warriors, under the leadership of Roman Nose, as they took refuge on a little sandbar in the middle of the Arikaree river. What followed is now known as the battle of Beecher Island. #history #wildwest #cheyenne
