On a hot August day on the remote plains of Wyoming, a group of US Army soldiers and civilian laborers are caught off-guard by a contingent of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe warriors under the leadership of the legendary Red Cloud.

Surrounded, cut-off from reinforcements, and massively outnumbered, the Americans do however have the advantage of a defensible position, and their repeating Springfield Model 1866 rifles.

What follows is one of the most brutal battles in the history of the old west, replete with cold-blooded killing as well as acts of tremendous courage and charity on both sides.

For all those who survived that horrible day, their lives would be forever changed. Don't miss this legendary story of one of the most important battles to take place in the history of the Old West, only here on History At The OK Corral: Home Of History's Greatest Shootouts & Showdowns!
