Battle Cries and Valiant Victories: The Gripping Tale of the Northern Cheyenne Exodus and Historic Showdown at Punished Woman's Fork
After the Northern Cheyenne departure from the Darlington Reservation on September 9, and the battle of Turkey Springs, they traveled north into Kansas territory. They customarily convoyed as a tightly formed military group with 92 men, 120 women, 69 boys, and 79 girls. They could find no Buffalo or game to hunt, so they relied on stealing. Raiding parties fanned out across the flatlands pillaging ranches, pirating food and horses. The pursuit was on from settlers to military personnel, yet this small band was never surprised, traveling through defensible terrain. They were a military society on the move under disciplined leadership and masterful strategies to thwart attackers who would stop their journey north.
