The Sioux overpower a barricaded war group…
April 1868 CE
The Crows are killed to either last or last but one man.
The Sioux lose fourteen warriors.
Sioux chief Sitting Bull takes part in this battle.
Later, mourning Crows with "their hair cut off, their fingers and faces cut" bring the dead bodies back to camp.
The drawing from the Sioux winter count of Lone Dog shows the Crows in the circle (the breastwork), while the Sioux close in on them.
The many lines indicates flying bullets.
