See our little museum of battlefield artifacts from the battle on whoop-up creek (Spring Creek), lost for 130 years and discovered by local artist and artifact hunter Max Martell in 2003. This battlefield has now been documented by the U.S. Government. This battle took place between the Twenty-Second Infantry, commanded by Lt. Col. Elwell S. Otis. (189 infantry soldiers, 200 mules with packs, and a few skinners) and 300-400 warriors belonging to several bands of Sioux allied with Sitting Bull's Hunkpapas, including Gall, Bull Eagle, No Neck, Pretty Bear, and Red Shirt. This battle took place shortly after the battle at Little Big Horn.
