At Ft. Ridgely, anger and fear festered after the first attack on the fort as to when reinforcements would come. This also held true for the town of New Ulm which was scrambling to defend itself under the leadership of Colonel Flandrau. While these towns were being attacked, Sibley had gathered an army of 1,340 troops, but still complained about the lack of supplies and training his men had. As the book aptly put it, however, “…neither were the defenders of New Ulm and Fort Ridgley, and they fought with determination, improvised when necessary, and made do without what they could not get and still they bested superior numbers of Indians” (177-178). Sibley’s delays in advancing his troops and attacking the Indians caused heavy responses from the people of Minnesota. Many called for

In 1858, gold was found along the banks of the Thompson River just east of what is now Lytton, British Columbia, triggering the Fraser River Gold Rush . When word got out to San Francisco about gold in British territory, Victoria was transformed overnight into a tent city as prospectors, speculators, land agents, and outfitters flooded in from around the world, mostly via San Francisco . The Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Langley burgeoned economically as the staging point for many of the prospectors heading by boat to the

Moving east was a column led by Col. John Gibbon from Fort Ellis Montana. Under the command of Gen. George Crook from Fort Fetterman Wyoming, a column was deployed from the south near Wyoming Territory. On May 17th, Brigade General Alfred Terry moved west from Fort Abraham Lincoln Dakota. Gen. Alfred Terry’s column consisted of 879 personnel, the majority being of the 7th Cavalry under LTC George A. Custer. On June 22nd, Gen. Terry detached Custer and the 7th Cavalry to flank from the southeast and force the Indians upstream where he planned to engage them with a smaller force along Little Bighorn River. Custer moved to the headwaters of the Tongue and Bighorn Rive and on June 25th Custer’s Soldiers were approximately 25 miles out from a large Indian encampment southwest of his position. Custer sent out scouts, along with Crow scouts (Indian scouts/linguist) to gather intel on the native encampment. Scouts reported a larger number than expected, an estimated 8,000 personnel including 1,500 native warriors present in the village. They also reported that the unit’s fires could be spotted from the crow’s nest, giving away Custer’s position. Assessing the situation, Custer decided to advance on the enemy’s position towards Wolf Mountain which was 12 miles from the encampment. With the information gathered by the crow scouts weighing heavily on Custer’s mind, he decided to attack the encampment the next day to prevent losing contact of the Sioux. Custer split his Regiment into three squadrons: a supply train consisting of 125 personal, commanded by Cpt. Frederick Benteen, a three troop force consisting of 175 personnel, led by Maj. Marcus Reno, and a five troop force consisting of 210 personnel with

There is a lot of history behind the Blackfoot tribe that I am sure a lot of people are unaware of. The Blackfoot tribe first learned about and got their first horses and riles in 1700, also during that time they traveled along the Rocky Mountains. In 1851 there was a treaty that was called the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851. The Blackfoot tribe was not one of the tribes that attended the negotiation of this treaty, but it still greatly affected their tribe. Article 5 of the Treaty defined the territory of this tribe and used the Musselshell, Missouri, Yellowstone Rivers, and the Rocky Mountain Range as markers of this territory. In 1873 and 1874, President Grant made Executive Orders shrinking reservation lands. The 1873 Order diminished the 1851 and 1855 treaty lands and created an entire reservation for the Blackfoot, Gros Ventre, Assiniboine, and Sioux. This territory went from north of the Missouri and Sun River east to the Dakota border. The 1874 Executive Order moved the southern boundary north from the Sun

Seven months after the tragic bloodshed of the Fetterman Massacre by a band of Lakota; Sargent Seamus Donegan was stationed near Fort Phil Kearney recovering from the horror and bloodbath in which he participated.

Because of the desire for land and the discovery of gold in Georgia, there was a push in doing what was necessary to remove Indians from their land (Native History Association). This was the time of Manifest Destiny, where white moved all over the country in hopes to spread their culture and customs. This involved them moving onto Indian land (Peppas 2013, 14). Even though gold was found on Cherokee land, the Cherokee could not touch it because the government did not want the Cherokee to have access to the gold. People from all over came to their land to mine the gold (Peppas 2013, 18).

This main force was supposed to be supported by two other groups. One consisting of 700 Pennsylvania militia were to prevent enemy troops from escaping by crossing the Delaware and seizing the bridge over Assunpink Creek to block a Hessian retreat. A third force consisting of 1,900 men was to conduct an attack on Bordentown, NJ as a diversion. (Hickman, K. (2015))

The term Redskin refers to the bloody scalps of Native American children, women, and men(Hawks). They were hunted by bounty hunters where they were killed and then scalped. They received awards when they traded in the redskins. These bounty hunters when they hunted them down the Native American skin was referred to animal skin. The Native American mascots should be removed from sports because they are offensive, confusing, and they don't truly represent the team.

By 1876, gold had been discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The gold was found on Sioux land, and this region was considered sacred to the Lakota Sioux Indians. The he land was to be protected and respected by the United States Army, because of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 18681, but the Army could not keep miners off the Sioux ground, which led to the increase of Sioux grievances towards the Americans; some grievances that are still taken offense to today. These battles and negotiations soon were known at the Great Sioux War of 1876.

Gold was discovered in many rich deposits along the Klondike River in 1896, but due to the remoteness of the region and the harsh winter climate the news of gold couldn’t travel fast enough to reach the outside world before the following year. Reports of the gold in newspapers created a hysteria that was nation-wide and many people quit their jobs and then left for the Klondike to become gold-diggers.
