At the Battle of the Rosebud on June 17, 1876, the words of participants and descendants portray a hard-fought conflict whose meaning endured among those involved. Cheyenne warrior Comes-In-Sight had his horse shot from under him and was rescued by his sister, Mutsemiuna, Buffalo Calf Road Woman, who rode through heavy fire so he could mount behind her and escape; in her honor, Cheyenne people often call the battle The Fight Where the Girl Saved Her Brother. Mutsemiuna also fought beside her husband, Black Coyote, at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Emily Walks Alone, a descendant of Buffalo Calf Road Woman, later expressed pride that Cheyenne women fought to protect their land, culture, and children and said future generations must be protected so the Cheyenne can remain strong. Participants recalled the battle as a major engagement at the head of Rosebud Creek in which General Crook's troops fought from morning into the afternoon against warriors who later moved to the Little Big Horn. Captain Anson Mills praised the skill of the Indian horsemen, White Bull remembered a large battle in which Cheyenne, Ogalala, Miniconjous, San Arcs, Hunkpapas, and Crow were present, and Frank Grouard credited the Crow with meeting the first charge before soldiers were fully ready. Two Moons said Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and others went up the Rosebud, fought General Crook, and defeated him, and Wooden Leg recalled that after beating the soldiers and seeing them withdraw, the camps held feasts and dances. U.S. Army forces numbered 1,325, including cavalry, infantry, Crow warriors, Shoshone warriors, Montana prospectors, packers, and correspondents and reporters; their losses were 9 soldiers, 1 Indian scout, and 6 Crow and Shoshone. Indian forces were estimated at 1,200 warriors of the Northern Cheyenne, Sioux, and Arapahoe, with estimated losses of 25 Sioux and 1 Northern Cheyenne, Black Sun, whose war song declared, I do not wish to be an old man. This day is mine to die.
