Sergeant Jonah Danbee - North Platte River Melee

Summary

During the famed Indian chief, 'Red Cloud War', against the armies of the United States, hostilities grew ever more dangerous and treacherous with every passing day. Many skirmishes and battles between the warring factions have become legendary and worthy of being written down in journals that have become the annuls of military history.

Such battles include - the 'Battle of Deer Creek Station', on May 20, 1865. Also, the 'Battle of Dry Creek Station', on June 3, 1865, as well as, the 'Battle of Sage Creek Station', on June 8, 1865, just to mention a few.

As the many skirmishes and battles that have occurred and is now and forever written down in the annuls of history as legendary, there is but one more that would seem prudent, if not necessary to list here, and that would be the, 'North Platte River Melee', in Wyoming territory on June 30, 1865.

This is that story……
