August of 1864 Sully's advance Scouts who where Arikara are killed in the draw.They are killed by Lakota.
They are buried by the rocks.
This is one of many skirmishes to come.Sully had cannons and used them .Just a few medal markers to mark what happened.
Interesting place that a tourist can not acess.
