In 1867, the warriors of the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho gathered in the Powder River country, preparing for one of the most decisive battles in the fight against U.S. expansion. Led by Red Cloud, these warriors set their sights on Fort Phil Kearney and Fort C.F. Smith, determined to drive out the soldiers who had invaded their lands.
At the same time, the U.S. Army was fortifying its positions, bringing in new commanders and replacing their outdated weapons with breech-loading Springfield rifles. But unknown to them, the Native forces had visions from the Great Spirit, fueling their determination to reclaim the Bozeman Trail.

What happened to the soldiers trapped in these remote forts? And how did the brutal winter, unrelenting raids, and powerful war chiefs shift the balance of power on the Great Plains?
