Wolf Mountains Battlefield
Wolf Mountains Battlefield, Battlefield site in Rosebud County, Montana, US.
The Wolf Mountains Battlefield extends across 2,756 acres of Montana terrain, containing valleys, hills, and flood plains near the Tongue River.
Colonel Nelson Miles and his troops repelled attacks from Crazy Horse and 800 Native American warriors during a snowstorm on January 8, 1877.
The location represents the final confrontation of the Great Sioux War, leading to fundamental changes in Native American life on the Northern Plains.
The battlefield includes visible military structures, such as the rifle pit constructed by Company F of the Twenty-second Infantry atop a rock wall.
The temperature dropped severely the night before the battle, creating a white landscape where both sides fought through deep snow and limited visibility.
