General Ranald Mackenzie struck the village of Dull Knife and Little Wolf on the Red Fork of the Powder River in November 1876, destroying their camp and driving the Northern Cheyenne out into brutal cold with almost no supplies.
Casualties were significant, but the destruction of food, clothing, and shelter in late November on the northern plains was itself a weapon.
People froze.
