November 25

November 25, 1876 - US Army troops sacked the camp of a Cheyenne war party under Chief Dull Knife, in retaliation for the American defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn. The American troops were lucky to have stumbled across Chief Dull Knife’s camp - had they been only a few miles further north, they would have come across the much better defended camp commanded by Dull Knife’s brother, Chief Sharp and Extremely Pointy Knife.
