Battle Of The Rosebud 1876 || Battle Where The Girl Saved Her Brother

Описание: The Great Sioux War of 1876, which included the Rosebud and Little Bighorn battles, was prompted by George Armstrong Custer’s 1874 discovery of gold in the Black Hills. Over the next couple of years, settlers swarmed the region, altrought the Black Hills were part of the Great Sioux reservation and settlers were not allowed on the reservation. A previous allowance of off-reservation hunting for the local Sioux and Cheyenne meant frequent confrontations between settlers and the Native Americans. The United States government tried to buy the Black Hills from the Sioux due to the presence of gold but the Sioux would not the land. Despite not reaching an agreement, the War Department ordered Generals Crook and Terry to begin removing the free Sioux and make them all move to their reservations in January of 1876. Escalations in violence took place that winter and spring and, coming summer, The Sioux and their Cheyenne allies gathered near Little Bighorn to discuss this issue and defend themselves.
Crazy Horse led the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors into a battle with the US army, commanded by general George Crook.
Sitting Bull also rode along the warriors, providing moral support.
On the other side, Crow and Shoshone warriors supported the army working as scouts.
