Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gold & Guns

An in-depth narrative of the 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road prospecting expedition and the Battle of Lodge Grass Creek. The account follows a party of roughly 150 scouts, prospectors, buffalo hunters and Civil War veterans whose movements influenced events leading to Little Bighorn.

Based on multi-year research and on-site visits along the expedition's 500-mile route and battlefields, the book reconstructs the campaign, profiles its participants and traces how frontier encounters shaped later conflicts.

The opposing forces included skilled Lakota and Northern Cheyenne horsemen led by figures such as Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gall and Hump, and the narrative examines tactics and tensions that erupted in open battle.
