The Battle of Reno

Kuster had planned to stay in hiding and then attack the village at daybreak. But when he found the hostile scouts had discovered his column, he figured there was nothing to do but attack at once. A report from a guy named Sergeant Daniel Knipe who would barely turn 23 at the time of the fight published in the magazine of the historical society of Montana. He said when we got to the top of the bluffs, the Indians had disappeared, but we were in plain view of the Indian camps.
