Rosebud Battlefield State Park
Rosebud Battlefield State Park, Historic battlefield state park in southeastern Montana, United States.
The 3,052-acre park preserves the rolling prairie landscape where Northern Cheyenne and Lakota Sioux warriors confronted United States military forces in 1876.
On June 17, 1876, General George Crook's troops faced an organized attack by Native American forces led by Crazy Horse, resulting in an eight-hour engagement.
The Northern Cheyenne named this site 'Where the Girl Saved Her Brother' after Buffalo Calf Road Woman rescued her wounded brother during the battle.
The park features an information kiosk, vault toilets, and gravel roads for visitors to explore the main battlefield area at 4,300 feet elevation.
The battle marked a critical point in the Great Sioux War, as Crook's withdrawal left Colonel Custer without support at Little Bighorn eight days later.
