I agree with the thought about what sitting bull said true or not. By this time buffalo were getting scarce in many area and a lot of Indians were on and off the reservations depending on time of year, food, etc.
How many involved in LBH were back on the reservations surrendering within a year?
I think they were savvy enough at this time not to show up among soldiers with gear/items taken from dead soldiers.
It was a different time for sure.
Do you know of anyone who has done extensive searches in the rivers and major creeks in that area? Many of the Indian crossing areas are still known of.
