Colonel Henry B. Carrington reinforces Fort Reno…

August 1866 CE

Colonel Henry B. Carrington reinforces Fort Reno and establishes two additional forts further north (Fort Phil Kearny and Fort C. F. Smith) in the summer of 1866.

His strategy, based on his orders from higher headquarters, is to secure the road, rather than fight the natives.

At the same time Red Cloud and the other chiefs soon became aware that they are unable to defeat a fully defended fort, so they keep to raiding every wagon train and traveling party they can find along the road.
