North Dakota State History - Battle of Big Mound.
The location of this battle took place in Kidder County,North Dakota. The name of this battle was named after a large mound of ground, that the Sioux took strategic use of while attacking forces of the Union Army, who were in pursuit of them at the same time.
Leading this battle was Brig. General Hasting Sibley, who was the Commanding officer at Fort Ridgely Minnesota, and today you see his name mentioned all through out Minnesota with towns, parks, and streets named in his honor. Even some of metal detecting taking place to this day, still pull relics out of the ground, and so many want to associate the finds with him, his men, or perhaps having something to do with the uprisings.
The chief of the Sioux in this battle was Chief Inkpaduta.
The General set out with his troops from Fort Ridgely, heading into the Dakota Territory pursuing the Santee Sioux, who started an uprising in the Minnesota River Valley in August 1862. The south-west part of Minnesota was experiencing a rash of uprisings, and battles/skirmishes with the Sioux. It was a very fearful time for the settlers during this time.
On July 24, 1863, the General's scouts sighted a large Sioux camp a few miles away.
The General set up camp entrenching it for protection nearby, and during this time many Indians appeared expressing friendship, and we're very friendly at that showing the soldiers they wanted no conflict.
Many of the Sioux appeared to be interested in conversation with the scouts, and some historians believe to this day whey were there to mislead them, and hoped to have the army wonder aimlessly for the rest of the season tracking the Sioux with not as great results.
Surgeon Josiah S. Weiser, of the 1st Regiment Minnesota Mounted Rangers was the first to be shot, and became the first victim of this battle. Then the Sioux who were also in hiding, hoping to ambush, and catch the Union Soldiers off guard, came out of their hiding places and attacked.
The Sioux had them pinned down, and were shooting with comfort, with little worry of return fire at the start of this battle, but small groups of men at a time, would venture out of their entrenchments to take on the Sioux's strategic positions, and in doing so eventually flushed them out into the open prairie, where they stood no chance against the artillery of the Union Army, so were force to flee, or faced certain death.
Mounted troops on horseback, the infantry on foot, and even heavier artillery following set out in pursuit of the Sioux. It was still a retreating battle for the rest of the day. By the next day, all the troops returned to the camp, and the Sioux never returned, but the conflicts remained in other parts of the territory.
The Battle of Dead Buffalo Lake (1863)
The two leaders of this battle, are the same as the Battle of Big Mound. The Battle of Dead Buffalo Lake was an interesting one at that, and the sage continues.
After the Battle of Big Mound, General Henry Hasting Sibley moved his camp 4 miles, presumed in the direction of the Sioux. His objective was to break the Sioux, and make them unable to wage war.
Just 2 days after the first battle, and after a 14 mile march encountered the Sioux once again, and they were waiting.
The Sioux's plans didn't go according to plan, once again they kept the fighting at a long distance range. The Sioux attempted to flank, but to no avail, and after another long day of heavy fighting, the Sioux were once again on the run, and General Sibley pursued.
The Battle Of Stony Lake (1863)
The Battle of Stony Lake took place in what is now Burleigh County (North Dakota)
Brig. Gen. Henry Hastings Sibley, continued the pursuit after the retreating Sioux, until he was forced to rest the horses. He never let up, and pushed forward for just that reason.He wanted little rest,and little time for the Sioux to come up with more options. He wanted them on the run, and wanted the advantage of any skirmish that was set to take place. while they were on their retreat.
On July 28th he started out again, only to discover in the process a large party of Sioux was moving in on him, and attempting to flank the Union Soldiers with intent of catching them by surprise, but the Union Army was ready. Their defense was strong, and the Sioux couldn't find any weak points to take advantage of.
This was the largest conflict he had with the Sioux, with the most amount of casualties on both sides, but the number of casualties on the Union side was much lower than the losses the Sioux experienced.
The Sioux once again retreated with great speed, and pursuit was futile in this case. The General wrote at great length in his diaries of this battle with the Sioux.
The Battle of Killdeer Mountain - July 28-29, 1864
The Battle of Killdeer Mountain took place in Dunn County, and the two leaders who met to battle were once again Chief Inkpaduta, and another General well known for his battles with the Sioux. A man by the name Brig. General Alfred Sully.
Brig. Gen. Alfred Sully was known for his victory over the Sioux at Whitestone Hill in September 1863. Though the original battle took place in July of 1864, preparations were being laid out for the battle a good year before, by a man named Maj. Gen. John Pope. He was working on a plan for once, and for all to end the fighting force within the Sioux, to end all possibility of future uprisings.
He drew up a roster of 2,500 infantry, and gave General Sully the task of going into the field to find the Sioux's encampments, and engage them in battle. To secure his gains, and keep control of the land, he had a force behind General Sully’s force, to establish forts and strongholds built by troops of the Minnesota Regiment. Then after creating these outposts, they were ordered to meet General Sully’s troops at the mouth of Burdache Creek, to prepare for their confrontation with the Sioux.
When all fell into place, where they felt the main battle ground would take place, that was actually a large area of territory, they built another established fortification, giving it the name Fort Rice. This fortress was located at the mouth of the Cannonball River. After establishing solid outposts, and holding on to the land gained in their pursuit, they were now ready to ride into the encampments of the Sioux.
The Sioux took up a strategic position on the Little Missouri River, which was located about 200 miles from the fort. On the 28th, he arrived near the Sioux encampment, which in his reports claims 5,000-6,000 warriors.
General Sully did meet with some of the tribal chiefs first, and record shows from these meetings that did take place, nothing was accomplished. It's assumed what was offered was not much better, than what the Sioux would face in dealing with the Union Army, so things were bound to come to a head as they did.
The artillery, and long-range firearms of the Union Army was no match for the Sioux. Though the fighting was heavy, the Sioux began losing ground, and soon took flight and fled. A 9 mile battle took place chasing the warriors down, scattering them making them vulnerable.
Many historians feel this was the end for Sioux resistance. Now their home, and supplies were lost yet again to ever make a fierce stand. By the time August came around of this same year, many of the Sioux Warriors were killed, or their spirit broken from the defeats.
The Battle Of Whitestone Hill - September 3-5, 1863
The Battle of Whitestone Hill took place in what is now Dickey County (North Dakota). Another fascinating part in regards to Indian Battles in North Dakota.
Following Brig. Gen. Henry Hastings Sibley’s victories, over the Sioux at Big Mound, Dead Buffalo Lake, and Stony Lake, he left the area making his way across the James River.
It wasn't much later the Sioux then recrossed the Missouri River, and returned to their old hunting grounds.Their homeland, and the territory just taken by the general.This didn't site well with Brig. Gen. Alfred Sully, and he decided to find these Sioux and punish them.
The general set out scouts to find where there encampments were once again, and by September 3 the General reached a lake and found remains of recently killed buffalo. So he figured they must be close by.It was the 6th Iowa Cavalry who discovered a Native American camp of more than 400 lodges, and the took up positions, and surrounded the encampment until General Sully got word.
When the General received word, he set out immediately with the remainder of his infantry, and did notice the Sioux were packing up preparing to leave, and many historians feel the Sioux had no choice but to counter attack the Union forces in order to escape. Once again the Sioux eventually broke under the firepower and were forced to flee, and once again pursued. Fighting took place all along the Sioux's retreat, and through out the night.
Several smaller battles took place during the next couple of days, and the General wasted no time in destroying all provisions,food stock, and possessions. He even ordered the capture of the women & children. This battle could very well have been the beginning for the Sioux's end, but resistance continued for many years afterwards, and other great battles would ensue in neighboring states as the push against the Sioux continued.
