1849 CE

The Cheyenne, who had managed to escape the smallpox epidemics that had swept across the plains from white settlements in 1837–39 by heading into the Rocky Mountains, are greatly affected by the cholera epidemic in 1849.

Contact with Euro-Americans is mostly light, with most contact involving mountain men, traders, explorers, treaty makers, and painters.
