History of the CHEYENNES 1878-1879 Battle Streamer
In August 1877, following extensive surrenders, Northern Cheyennes were relocated to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency at Fort Reno, Indian Territory, reaching over 940 by July 1878. Despite efforts to disarm and integrate them, a faction led by "Dull Knife," "Wild Hog," and "Little Wolf" resisted and, in September 1877, nearly 375 Cheyennes escaped the agency. Evading pursuit, they raided settlements and skirmished with Army troops. In October, a significant number were captured, while others, including "Little Wolf," remained elusive. By March 1879, "Little Wolf" surrendered with his band near Box Elder Creek, marking the end of their flight and their return to Fort Keogh, Montana, after a series of confrontations and escapes.
