FORT PHIL KEARMY STOOD SIEGE BY 1MDDAM HORDES TWO YEARS;
WHIPPING OUT OF FETTERMAM COMMAND; "wAG0M BOX" SLAUGHTER

n Asst of the Big Horn mountains, a few miles south of the
r., Montana boundary line in Wyoming on the banks of Piney
creek is the unmarked and almost forgotten site of old
Fort Phil Kearny. Today a visitor to this spot will find no trace
of the fortified army post that in the late COS stood on a little
plateau some 90 feet above the surrounding bottom lands and al
most within the shadow of Cloud Peak, an eminence of the Big
Horn mountains whose whne-capped cone glttered in the sum-
mer sun thousands of feet above it.
There is nothing in the smiling landscape of these June days,
with its undulatng hills covered with bunch grass and wild flow
ers, and the purple, snow-capped mountains beyond, to indicate
the tragic story of this place. Its name is never spoken by this
generation of Montanans. And yet some half century ago, for
a period of two years, it was the scene of some of the most bitter
and bloody fighting in all the annals of the west. For more than
20 months it was besieged day and night, winter and summer, by
thousands of the Indians of the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Grow
and even the Blackfeet nations, who were determined that the
white man should not gain a foothold in this hunting ground,
and who agreed to forget their own enmities for the time being
to join in a common cause against the pale-face invader.
The story of Fort Kearny is one long chronicle of frontier
fighting; of supply trains, heavily guarded, battling their way in
and out of the post; of sortes by white troops against the watch
full red foe, with varying fortunes of war.
One bloody chapter in this old forts history tells of the wp-
ing out of Colonel Fetter1nan and his command of 80 officers and
men, 81 of whom were killed within a space Of so feet square.
Another tells of the famous Wagon Box" fight, when 81 men
under Captain James Powell, caught in the open, made a corral
of 10 iron-ined wagon boxes, and fought Red Cloud, war chief
of the Sioux, and 5000 red warriors to a finish, killing and
wounding more than LOO Indians. In this fight the Sioux for
the first time went up against a good type of breech-loadlng
rifles.
Fort Phil Kearny was abandoned and burned more than so
years ago. 1t was built to protect gold seekers coming over the
Powder river road into Montana. While it failed of its purpose,
its name deserves an honored place in Montana history.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-07-01

Join the guard detail, who, with the
wood choppers, had taken up a posi-
tion among the rocks on n side OF
the mountain. The Indians tried to
surround them, but Captain Powell
made a sudden dash from the corral
and attacked these reds in the rear,
killing many of them. The Indians
turned to defend themselves, which
permitted the herders to join the
train guard and wood choppers.
These fell back slowly, fighting every
foot of the way, and finally reached
the fort.
Powell had just time to return to
his fortified corral when 500 Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes dashed out of
the timber less than half a mile away,
and charged the corral in a dense
mass. Not a shot was fired from the
corral till they were within a few
hundred feet of the wagons. Then
the latter sprang into a blaze of rifle
fire, for there were many extra rifles,
and half a dozen men were reloading
them for the men who manned the
loopho1es. The war shouts of the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes were soon
mingled with death shrieks, for the
soldiers fire was doing deadly execu-
ton. But the red warriors swept up
to the fire-vomiting corral till at 10
yards, their crazed horses would re-
coil. The CALLING fire the Indians
poured into the wagons seemed to
have no effect, and finally, after the
most desperate efforts to overwhelm
the wagons, they turned and galloped
back, leaving scores of their dead on
