Thanks.

I have been trying to understand this history better.

Plenty Coups wasn't so sure Crook had chosen a defensible camp on the upper Rosebud on the night of June 16, 1876.

The Battle of the Rosebud was a draw although Crook remained on the battle ground.

Crook's force was left in possession of the battlefield and he claimed a victory, his Indian scouts refused to continue, halting his advance and preventing him from joining up with the 7th Cavalry under George A. Custer, ensuring the latter's defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876.
