English: Native American (Sioux and Cheyenne) and white men participate in the Battle of Wolf Mountain in Montana. A howitzer stands near a cliff edge in position to fire upon the Native Americans.
From the original newspaper story: Our engraving, from a sketch by an officer of the expedition, represents the battle on the 8th of January, 1877, in the gorges of the Wolf Mountains, at the decisive moment when the Indians endeavored to flank the troops by occupying a high hill to the left and rear.
