1866 - A Lakota war party led by Chief Red Cloud attacks a wagon train
bringing
supplies to newly-constructed Fort Phil Kearny on the Powder River in northern
Wyoming. The Lakota see the fort, situated to protect travel to Montana mining
country along the Bozeman Trail, as a threat to their territory. When a patrol
led
by Captain William J. Fetterman rides out to drive off the war party, it is
lured far
from the fort and destroyed to the last man.

Any FETTERMAN researchers have Col William J. FETTERMAN in their line?

I visited this site on vacation in the 70's.
