Two days after
the historic and tragic battle at Wounded Knee Creek, South
Dakota, fifty-three men of the Sixth Cavalry escorted a supply
train to the regiment's camp at the site of the battle. As the
train prepared to cross the partially frozen White River on the
route of their march, they were engaged by a force of 300
Indians. With but four men, First Sergeant Cornelius Smith
repelled the attack by a numerically superior enemy force, and
continued to hold his position against repeated efforts by the
Indian warriors to recapture it.
