The Yellowstone Expedition of 1876, organized to quell the hostile Sioux, marched from Fort Abraham Lincoln on May 17, 1876, and camped near Young Mans Butte about two miles east of this site on May 23, 1876. Between Young Mans Butte and Richardton, the Custer Trail intersects this highway, continues in a general westerly direction, and enters Montana near Beach, North Dakota. The trail extends to the banks of the Little Big Horn River in Montana, where Custer and a portion of the 7th Cavalry were annihilated by hostile Indians on June 25, 1876.
