badlands in as level q formation as may
be ound anywhere. Selecting a spot
about 200 yards from the west bank of
the Tongue, Miles ordered the erection Of
the first army cantonment in eastern
Montana. Cottonwood trees were felled.
Quarters for the officers and troops were
erected. On the east line were located
quarters for General Miles and the adj
jutant, as well as company quarters for
H, E, G and d in order. The north line
Of the parade grounds was occupied by
@ in the northwest corner followed by
companies A, B, F, K and I, in the north
east corner. The amusement hall, or
theater, hospital and guard house we're
lined up on the west side In order. while
the south line was ~variously occupied by
the commissary department, stables and
other buildings. To the east and nearer
to the Tongue river were located two SUIT
lers' stores, one for officers. in which a
billiard table had been installed. To
the south Of the cantonment later was
dug the post we'll, which after So years
is the only remaining evidence, outside
of the ruins on the building sites that
lined the parade grounds, from which
the other locations may be more or less
determined.
Later the Fifth infantry was joined by
other commands that occupied quarters
south of the -cantonment. These in

lfeutenant-colonel Of the 22d, and Major
Dickey, who was in command. the 18th,
9th and 7th infantry, and the 5th cav
airy. Crooks was with the 9th cavalry,
but never quartered at Fort Keogh, his
location being for the most part in the
vicinity of Sheridan, Wyo. General Mer-
rett was among the prominent officers
who. with General Gibbons of the End
cavalry, touched at the cantonment In
the course of their military maneuvers,
says Mr.. Wilson. who spent IA months
n seven days at the cantonment and
took part in five expeditions. He was
mustered out when orders were promul-
gated to reduce the army, and returned
to Chicago by way of Deadwood, Crook
CITY, Fort Pierre and by steamer to
Yankton.
His First Expedition
Wildly does Mr.. Wilson recall his first
experience in actual contact with the In
dians. Word had been received at the
cantonment, which had been named Fort
keogh in honor of one of Clusters Of
hcers, from Lieutenant Whistler on his
way along the Yellowstone, that he was
being harassed by Indians. 1t was in
October, 1876. Miles ordered out a de-
tachment that included ompan Fl to
which Wilson was attached. They came
in contact with Sitting Bull and his fol-
lowers on Cedar creek. The troops had
forded the Yellowstone and were pro-
ceeding in q northerly direction when
they noticed a prairie fire. Sitting Bull
had set the grass Attire to allow the
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-06-15

squaws to get away quickly with their
tepees with the expectation that an en-
gagement would follow. Sitting Bull had
made the wrong reckoning. Instead Of
venturing into a battle, Miles called for
a powwow with the ndian leader. Sit
ting Bull was asked to surrender. He had
taken the precaution TO see that q group
OF his followers were within hailing dis
lance. Noticing the ruse, Miles ordered
q sufficient force of soldiers 70 remain
within a reasonable distance while the
parley was on. Sitting Bull refused to
surrender. Miles retaliated with the in
formation that a battle would ensue.
The lines were formed. Sitting Bull,
wary and cunning, noted the superior
strength Of the soldiers and moved away
toward the north. Instead of a pitched
battle. such as Miles had possibly antici-
pated, 1t became a battle OF distances,
for Sitting Bull was chased toward the
north and east to the brakes leading to
the Sheep Mountain buttes.
The Indians FASTENED their departure
and eventually found their way into Can
ada. The troops returned to the can
tonment by veg OF Glendive where the
soldiers, on a site near where that city
stands today, threw up a parapet for the
time they spent there in anticipation OF
O possible Indian attack in the event
that Sitting Bull decided to return for an
engagement or a surprise attack.
Wilson took part as a member of COM
pany H In the battle of Wolf
tains, south on the Tongue, in January,
1877 In the battle OF the Little Muddy,
which was the sequel to the battle with
Lame Deer In May Of that year, n In
another skirmish Of minor Importance
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-06-15

but in which the Indian element as q
factor played a large part.
Two incidents stand out wildly In his
memory. The first is when, following
the skirmish with Lame Deer, the SOL
dlers destroyed the tepees and ran away
a herd Of about 900 horses that were
driven int company H, held In reserve
on the Little Muddy and for which stray
Cling hands of Indians fought fiercely.
The horses were taken to the canton
ment where their disposition was de-
cided. The other incident was that of
the tragedy that overlook five Indian
chiefs who had left the Spotted Tail and
Red Cloud agencies and having taken the
warpath, decided to come in to Fort
Keogh and surrender. These five chiefs
were coming in to the fort from the
south past the Twin buttes and out into
the open, level country when suddenly,
while waving the flag of truce, o muir
derous fire poured into them from the
east bank of the Tongue and the five
chiefs fell dead at a point near the
southeast corner of the cantonment, in
the corral.
Enemies of Bear Wolf
The fire was directed by Bear Wolf,
and River and Mountain Crows as well
as a few Gros Ventres, who afterward
explained to General Miles that his peo-
pie did not recognize a flag OF truce, and
that the dead chiefs were enemies. Fol-
lowing the massacre, Bear Wolf and his
followers left the east bank OF the
Tongue and proceeded back to their
stamping grounds on the Big Horn and
into the Crow country. 1t was shortly
after the sortie that Wilson came to the
corral and saw the dead Indian chiefs
whom he remembers to have been Bull
Eagle, who had been d~ecapitated, Black
Moon, Dull Knife, Little Feather and
Little Turtle. 1t was a gruesome sight,
he says.
Wilson often talked with General
Miles. On one occasion, he says, a
drunken courier came into the canton
ment and told the commandment that
the Spotted Tall and Red Cloud Indians
had broken out and were on the warpath.
Put no confidence In the report"
Miles said to Wilson, n ordered him to
keep q lookout north toward the Yellow
stone. Nothing developed.
Wilson regretted hat the order to re-
duce the army made 1t necessary for him
to be mustered out, since he was a re-
cruit and q volunteer. Having no de-
sire to remain in the northwest and grow
up with the country still filled with the
perils of the trail he returned cas- and
resumed his trade as painter. While in
Augurn, Ind, he became converted and
for eight years has gone about the coun-
try as a travelling evangelist. He has
visited in 40 states and has an ambition
to visit the remaining six located In the
northwest. His presence in Miles City.
In May. 1923. was the first time since
October. 1877, that he had revisited the
scenes OF his early western experiences.

but the distance is short compared to
the Journey undertaken by these re-
cruits who had enlisted in early July in
the city Of Indianapolis. They were sent
to Columbus, o., where they were mus
tered into the military service Of the
government, from which point they were
sent TO Fort Smelling, Mimi. From this
point, as related by Mr.. Wilson, they were
transferred to Duluth from whence they
proceeded, by way of Brainerd, Mimi, and
Fargo, N. D., to Fort Abraham Lincoln,
near the present site of Mandan on the
Missouri river.
Recruits upon their arrival, they be-
came soldiers in the making, M Wilson
was attached to company II OF the Fifth
infantry, James Mitchell captain. Later
the troops were joined by Lieut.. Thomas
Logan. h was in charge of the re-
cruiting service in Indianapolis and un-
der whom the men had enlisted. Gen.
eral Miles, following the assignments, or
dered that preparations be made for an
advance to the Yellowstone valley. Six
companies were designated, r, K, G, E, H,
and c. The journey INTO the land of ad-

following their discharge, remained in
the northwest and their descendants to
this day have chosen to identify them
selves with the material progress that the
great commonwealth Of Montana is max
ing.
The river steamers were wood burners.
Progress up the Missouri was slow and
tedious. Often during the days of that
hot July Of 1876, when the depth of the
water prevented passage, the troops were
~disembarked n marched along on the
banks while the crew manned the lifts
and derricks to ease the craft over the
shadows. In fair going the drone of the
men in charge of the measuring poles
could be heard: -Four feet; five feet; NO
BOTTOMl" The bells would ring, the
boilers would steam up n swift going
ahead would follow. When the wood ran
low on deck, the soldiers were detailed
to go ashore and cut down the trees OF
gather down timber and cut it into the
required lengths for use in the firepots of
the steamers boiler rooms below deck.
Entering the Yellowstone river the
steamers proceeded to the mouth of the
Rosebud where General Miles was told
by Generals Crooks and Merrett, as VIII
son recalls the incident, not to 90 to the
Custer battlefield. After proceeding up
the Rosebud for a short distance, Miles
retraced his steps and returned to the
mouth of the Tongue, arriving on Aug.
!, 1879.

Importance to distract the public mind.
1t was on July 4. 1875. when the news
burst upon the east that Gen. George A.
Custer and his immediate command had
been annihilated by a ban Of indians
over whom the shadow n influence of
Sitting Bull, powerful medicine man of
the Sioux tribe, had been cast. The
tragedy Of the Little Big Horn in Mon
ANA had been magnihed q thousand
times. A study Of the details impelled
the government to take a step that
would forever make 1t impossible for the
descendants of the original inhabitants
to bar the progress of civilization toward
the setting sun.
The decision was reached to send a
force sufficient to cope with the new
problem to the west and settle the SUI
premacy OF the white race in he United
States once and for all.
When the call for recruits was Issued
young men sprang up from everywhere
out Of the east. each eager to hold up
the traditions of their ancestors. Among
those who heard the call was a young
man, a painter by trade. employed in
Indianapolis. who with $50 other young
men on July 7, 1876, enlisted for the In
dian wars Of the northwest. He was
George w. Wilson, then 25 years of age,
who Yas destined to be among those who
made history in eastern Montana. The
destination Of these young men was a
point to be selected on the Yellowstone
river where a fort would be established
and from which expeditions would be
sent out as the exigencies required to
enforce the order of the government that
all rowing bands of Indians must return
to their respective reservations. They
were to augment and strengthen the
Fifth infantry, under the m OF
Lieut.. Nelson A. Miles, then stationed at
Fort Leavenworth.

ent. They feed on minute water
organisms, and slowly make the
voyage homeward. How they find
their way without guides (since
their parents are all dead is a
mystery. But they do.
And the strangest part Of the
story is that though American
and European cells breed in the

always find their way back to the
proper sides of the Atlantic.
1t takes about three years for
the young eel to get rack from
their deep ocean cradle to the off,

close of their voyage, they change
shape from the fiat, leaf-like form
to the familiar round thin fig
ures and then go up streams to
begin their parents life story over
again.
