September 1865 CE

Cole and Walker, in desperate need of supplies, have decided to follow the Powder River north, to search for Connor and his wagon train.

On September 1, on Alkali Creek, near Broadus, Montana, they have their first encounter with natives.

About three hundred Hunkpapa, Sans Arc, and Miniconjou Lakota Sioux raid the soldiers' horse herd.

The soldiers guarding the horses "dropped their guns and run."

Six soldiers are killed.
