Background

After Dakota war of 1862, the United States of America Government continued punishing a Sioux including the person who did not participate in war. The large-scale expedition (fight of the white stone leech) in the Dakota associate state performed in the summer of 1863 drove the most of the Sioux to the west coast of the Missouri temporarily and did it safely, but security was not completely found in white reclaimed land frontier of Minnesota and both Dakota. Four whites were murdered by the surprise attack of the Sioux in the spring of 1864 [⁴].

The important motive of the new military operation for the Sioux was a desire to want to protect the communication line with the gold ore source which was just discovered recently in Montana associate state and Idaho associate state. The lifeline for American prospector Kim was the steamship which made a round trip to the Missouri via the center of the territory of the Sioux [⁵]. I built some forts and found the communication route to the gold ore source, and, in winter from 1863 through 1864, Major General John Pope who was the senior officer of the Alfred Surrey brigadier general gave the eastern part of Missouri riverside and both Dakota an order to start it in Surrey to remove the menace of the Sioux for the pioneer of the Missouri east bank.

The first brigade of Surrey subordinates consisted of 1,700 soldiers and sailed up the Missouri riverside at the starting point in Iowa Sioux city. It was approximately 1,550 people, and the second brigade was considered that I went ahead through the land route from ridge Lee fort of Minnesota. When I sailed up the Missouri, a Sioux murdered soldier alone and let, besides, an injured person appear. Three Sioux of the assailant were caught and were murdered, and a neck was cut [⁶]. Besides, a soldier and a civilian sailed up the Missouri by 15 steamships and supported a ground military unit [⁷].

The 2 corps of Surrey joined on June 29 and built a rice fort as a base along the Missouri of North Dakota on July 7 and let you supply supplies by a steamship for the military expedition. When there was the large-scale camp of the Sioux near 130 miles (208km) of northwest, little Missouri, a member of reconnaissance that was the mixed blood with Winnebago and the friendly Sioux reported it. On July 19, the Sally corps left the rice fort and went to look for the camp of the Sioux. Because Sally meets the cart corps of 200 people of mining and family going to the gold ore source and protects them, and the pattern agreed in what I guard unwillingly, I will carry a burden on my back [⁸].

The member of reconnaissance of Surrey reported that there was a teepee of 1500-1800 in the Sioux camp. I thought that Sally would face 5,000 - 6,000 soldiers. I insisted that the Sioux had 1,600 soldiers in this battle later. It is thought that the thing that this number is correct is near when I think that there are one - two adult males to one teepee [⁹]. As for the Sioux who was in the camp, Daddy Hank, シハサパ of the ラコタ group (ティトン group), minicomputer Jewish race, people from each サンサーク band almost joined a yank Tonai group and some Santi group. Most of the Sioux only armed themselves with a bow and arrow and armed myself with a musket and the hunting gun of the short range a little. The most of Sioux particularly ティトン group was not antagonistic to the United States of America before this battle.

After Sally leaving the rice fort, and having guarded an immigrant, it was offensive and had 2,200 people. There was the gunner two battalion which had the howitzer 8 gate.

A member of Indian reconnaissance of Surrey was around current North Dakota Richard ton and, on July 26, performed a skirmish with 30 Indian soldiers, and member of reconnaissance one got injured. Sally was aware that an Indian noticed the existence of the Sally corps and continued advancing rapidly and carefully. When the large-scale camp of the Sioux was in Surrey 10 miles (16km) earlier, on the morning of July 28, Frank ラフランボワズ which was the mixed blood of the Santi group told it in members of reconnaissance.

There was the Mt. kill Deer on the outskirts of the Dakota poor soil and "it was deep and "it was high and was ticked away by rock がちな hill" with the valley which I could not pass" [¹⁰]. When the charge by the cavalry soldier would be difficult, I judged the sari by this difficult topography and let a soldier do a low-breed horse and let you cross the formation of the emptiness quadrilateral of one side of 1.25 miles (2,000m). I let you cover a horse and a cannon in the quadrilateral. When the group of Sioux who rode a horse appeared on the side, the hill of the Sally corps, the military unit advanced on foot.

Both militaries where it was the Indian who deployed with a soldier of United States which was in the hollow quadrilateral around a hill exchanged an insult from a long distance. The soldier with the Daddy Hank group called the loan dog entered the rifle shot and gave hoots. I ordered that Sally shot a loan dog in the master of snipe. The result varies by historical materials whether it was evaded whether a loan dog was killed.

After the first shooting was carried out for a loan dog, the soldier of United States advanced in skirmish formation and the Sioux ran through the side and looked for a weak point. Because there was the bombardment with the cannon, the Indians did not come to gather in one place in great numbers. The violent attack of the Indian hung in the back of the Sally corps was broken by the cannonball of the cannon, and several soldiers fell down. The Sally corps who made a quadrilateral advanced steadily. I realized that the Sioux could not push back U.S. forces immediately and folded their teepee and baggage and changed an important point of the power into protecting the escape course of a woman and the child.

The Sioux was going to stop the progress of the Sally corps and, from the right side surface, took a charge by the mounting a horse from the left side surface. The yank Tonai group and the Santi group charged at the Teton from the left side surface from the right side surface. The Minnesota battalion was supported for the bombardment of the cannon with the Alfred B bracket major whom the right-winger had and performed the charge of the counterattack horseback. After having fought by the saber and the close combat using the handgun, I dispersed an Indian. First Lieutenant George Northrup who became a well-known hero by a frontier and the Civil War at the time of this charge was killed in action.

When a Sally corps approached the village of the Sioux, it became dark. Sally stopped the progress of soldiers in the evening, but let you continue the bombardment for a Sioux and the village. I will abandon fight, most of teepee and supplies to delay the movement of the enemy whether the Sioux escapes [¹¹].

The loss of the Sally corps in this battle was three death in battle, injury ten. The loss of the Sioux estimated that 100 people - 150 people were killed in action, and almost all was the number of soldiers [¹²]. The Sioux said that 31 people were killed in action [¹³].

Post of the battle

On the next day of the battle, the Sioux threw away the camp, and Sally assigned 700 soldiers to destroy all the things which they left. A teepee, the dried meat (jerky) of a large quantity of buffalo, up to 3,000 dogs shot dead were included in that. Several Sioux left behind including a child in the camp were murdered by a member of Winnebago reconnaissance.

Most of the Sioux deployed through Dakota poor soil in the west of the Mt. kill Deer, but there were people who remained near the Sally corps. Several Sioux whom there was on the hill waved a flag of surrender and demanded talks, but it was fired by a soldier and escaped. The sentry of the Sally corps was attacked in the evening by the strike force of the Sioux, and two people died, and one got injured. Besides, one soldier was taken for an Indian and was killed a sentry first.

Supplies had begun to lack the Sally corps, but decided to continue pursuing the Sioux. A member of reconnaissance of the pied noir knew the way via the badlands that the impedimenta line of the Sally corps could pass. Two days later, the Sally corps happened to meet the unknown topography forward. The Sioux was going to make revenge by a fight of the poor soil which rose from August 7 [¹⁴].
