Warbonnet Battlefield Monument, Historical battlefield monument in Harrison, Nebraska, US.
The Warbonnet Battlefield Monument stands on a hill near Harrison, marking the location of an 1876 encounter between military forces and Native Americans.
During the Battle of Warbonnet Creek, Buffalo Bill Cody led U.S. Army troops in a confrontation with Cheyenne warriors, resulting in the death of Yellow Hair.
The monument represents the complex relationship between U.S. military expansion and Native American territories during the late nineteenth century settlement period.
Located three miles east of Harrison on Highway 20, the monument site remains open throughout the year without entrance fees or modern facilities.
Local reports describe unexplained green mists and whispered voices in Native American languages near the monument, particularly during July evenings.
