Reno's Skirmish Line - Warrior Counterattack

June 25, 1876

Reno's battalion of 175 soldiers, civilian personnel, and Arikara and Crow Scouts halt in the valley and form a thin skirmish line. Warriors race out from the village to oppose him. After 10 minutes of fighting Lakota and Cheyenne warriors outflank Reno, forcing him into the timber on his right.

Marker can be reached from U.S. 212 1 mile from Interstate 90.
