(Battleground 1 mi. N of Marker)

Near here in 1874 or 1875, 18 Indians attacked W. B. Brown and two comrades, spooking one horse and capturing bedrolls and grub, but sparing the men, who thankfully escaped. In the 1870s, when they were being driven off the range, capture of supplies meant victory to the Indians.

Marker is on U.S. 87 0.1 miles east of Farm to Market Road 503, on the right when traveling west.
