Following the disastrous battles of the Rosebud and Little Big Horn in Montana in June, 1876, many Sioux, except Gall and Sitting Bull with 400 lodges who went to Canada and Crazy Horse and his band, generally drifted back toward the agencies on the White and Missouri Rivers, burning the grass as they went. Crook, Terry, and Miles began hunting Indians, and by September 7th Crook's destitute and weary column detached Capt. Anson Mills with 150 men on the best horses to go to Deadwood for supplies. On September 8th he discovered a village on the east slope of Slim Buttes, and at dawn on September 9th attacked the rain-shut teepees in a cavalry charge, scattering the Indians. The Oglala chief American Horse, with his family and six warriors, fled to a ravine, and after a six-hour siege in which most of the white casualties occurred, with four warriors dead and the chief fatally wounded, they surrendered. That afternoon Crazy Horse made a show of force, but the rest of Crook's command arrived and no battle followed, only constant harassment. A great supply of dried meat was captured, the village was destroyed, and on September 10th the command moved on to Deadwood on a diet of horse meat, marking the end of the summer campaign. Those killed were Winzel, 3rd, Kennedy, 5th Cavalry, and Jonothan White, a civilian scout. The wounded were Lt. von Leuttwitz, 3rd Cavalry, and 12 enlisted men of the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Cavalry.
