On June 16, 1876, General Crook sent 800 cavalry troopers and 200 Crow Indians to engage the hostile Sioux at their main camp along the Rosebud River in Montana. The Sioux force encountered in the Rosebud River battle the following day pitted this force against more than 3,000 hostile Indian warriors, but the determined soldiers routed the Sioux and pushed them back five miles. During this battle Trumpeteer Elmer Snow earned the Medal of Honor for his courage in battle, despite being wounded in both arms. Medals of Honor were also earned by First Sergeants Michael McGann, Joseph Robinson, and John Shingle during this battle.
