24.01.2022 Summit Springs Battlefield Logan County Colorado 2010. Panasonic Lumix TZ 40 Images by Andrew Hogarth. The Battle of Summit Springs was fought on the 11th of July, 1869 near Sterling, Colorado. Colonel Eugene A. Carr and two hundred and forty-four soldiers of the 5th United States Cavalry supported by fifty Pawnee Scouts led by Major Frank North that also included the famed scout Buffalo Bill Cody. The mid afternoon cavalry charge on the village of Dog Soldier Chief's Tall Bu...ll and White Horse finally broke the resistance of the Cheyenne on the Central Great Plains. Carr and Tall Bull's followers had fought running fights for over one month but each time the Cheyenne were able to escape although they suffered heavy casualties with dead and wounded warriors who could not be replaced. After the Washita River Massacre in November, 1868 Carr was ordered by Brigadier General Christopher C. Augur, the Commander of the Department of the Platte to clear the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers from the Republican River Country and if possible rescue two white women Maria Weichell and Susanna Alderice. Many of the Cheyenne that included Chief Tall Bull headed for a series of nearby ravines to carry on the fight with the soldiers. As the battle raged Tall Bull was shot dead along with around fifty other Cheyenne. The soldiers casualties were light by comparison to the Cheyenne. Susanna Alderice was killed during the initial cavalry charge and although Maria Weichell received life threatening wounds she later survived and recovered her health. The village of eight-four lodges were later set fire and burned to the ground. Chief White Horse and some of his followers managed to escape and cross the Platte River to eventually head north to their Northern Cheyenne relatives camped in the Powder River region of southeastern Montana See more

20.01.2022 Beecher Island Battlefield Yuma County Colorado 2010. Panasonic Lumix TZ 40 Images by Andrew Hogarth. The scouts trailed the Indian raiding party from Sheridan into Colorado; signs indicated that the opposing force considerably outnumbered the scouts, but the unit nonetheless pressed on. Around dusk on the 16th, Forsyth and his men arrived in the vicinity of the "Dry Fork of the Republican River" (reported at the time as Delaware Creek now the Arikaree River) and made camp on...Continue reading

13.01.2022 Little Bighorn Battlefield Crow Agency Montana 2010. Panasonic Lumix TZ 40 Images by Andrew Hogarth. Visiting the Little Bighorn Battlefield during the Great Plains Road Trip of 2010 was a real treat. So many fond memories of my many visits over the years. While shooting some images in 2010 a vehicle full of Kickapoo Warriors emerged from the van at Last Stand Hill. They had driven all the way from their reservation near the Texas-Mexican border. One of the older gentleman kn...ew of Jack Little and we later shot a handful of images which I posted copies back to them. I loved the smile on their faces knowing they were enjoying reliving events of the two day battle when Sitting Bull's vision came true and the boy General George Armstrong Custer and many of his Seventh Cavalry soldiers came falling down into the large Lakota-Sioux and Cheyenne encampment on the 25th and 26th of June, 1876.

13.01.2022 Custer Battlefield Trading Post Crow Agency Montana 2010. Panasonic Lumix TZ 40 Images by Andrew Hogarth. During my five weeks Great Plains Road Trip of 2010 it is always a pleasure to stop and hang out at the Custer Battlefield Trading Post when I am visiting the region. Putt and Jill Thompson always make one welcome and as I have said before the cafe food is the best in southwestern Montana. It was also nice to still see some copies of "Lakota Spirit" were for sale in the trading post bookstore. I bet my good old friend Jack Little would has been tickled pink as the saying goes to be on the same shelf as Sitting Bull and Black Elk.

05.01.2022 The Grattan Massacre Site Goshen County Wyoming Great Plains Road Trip 2008. Canon Ixus Images by Andrew Hogarth. As western expansion headed out onto the Northern Great Plains it was only a matter of time before bloodshed would be spilled between the Lakota-Sioux and the United States Army in Wyoming near the established Fort Laramie. Lt. Grattan thought he could whip the Sioux with only thirty plus soldiers but after a dispute over a frail and thin immigrant cow turned violent with the fatal shooting of Chief Conquering Bear the Sioux rose up to the challenge and all but wiped out Grattan's small force of men on the 19th of August, 1854. This encounter started the Great Plains Indian Wars and it would play out for the next thirty-six years ending at Wounded Knee Creek on the 29th of December, 1890.

03.01.2022 Sappa Creek Massacre Site Rawlins County Kansas 2010. Panasonic Lumix TZ 40 Images by Andrew Hogarth. It was indeed a sober trip back to Larry Curtin's ranch to ask permission to spend some quiet time down at the Cheyenne village site and for him to allow me the opportunity to pray and tie some sacred colour cloth onto a tree branch in the centre of the old village site of twelve lodges from the attack by Lt. Henely and his soldiers with the assistance of twenty plus civilian buffalo hunters on the 25th of April, 1875. Over the years the Sappa Creek fight became known as the Massacre at Cheyenne Hole. Henely drowned on the 11th, July, 1878 in Arizona, while on duty.
