When the Custer Expedition of
1874 first entered the Black Hills,
they did so through what is now
Crook County, and it was during
this early phase of the expedition
that many significant events oc-
curred.

July 2, was nearing the Black
Hills by July 17 and entered Wyo- I e.~./K~,.,..f~ I
ruing around this time. Just be-
fore entering the Black Hills, the
group camped in South Dakota
near the Junction of Wyoming,
South Dakota and Montana.
By July 18, the expedition had
reached the Belle Fourche River
and remained in camp for two
days, during whlch time it rained
continually. Some members of
the expedition feared that the
rain would make it impossible to
cross the Belle Fourche the next
day, so the wagons were moved
across the rlver that nighL It was
while camping on Hay Creek near
Aladdin on July 20 that members
of the expedition began to feel the
attraction of the Black Hills and
many wrote in their Journals
about the scenic beauty that sur-
rounded them. Captain William
Ludlow, who accompanied the
expedition as Chief Engineer, re-
marked in his Journal that the
change from the plains to the
north, where R had been very hot
and drywas wonderful. He noted
that prickly pear cactus seemed
to be abundant during their
march down and that finding
water difficult.
The expedition never actually
penetrated the Bear Lodge Moun-
tains but remained on the out-
skirts of them and made note of
the red sandstone cliffs and can-
yons. On July 21, the party soon
discovered thatdrinking too much
of the water would cause dysen-
tery. In faet a private named
John Cunningham succumbed
to this condition and died. He
was buried on July 22 near Inyan
Kara Mountain with another pri-
vate, George Turner, who was
shot during an argument with
another soldier. On July 23,
Custer and several of his aides
climbed Inyan Kara Mountain,
but was disappointed to find the
view from the summit obscured
by smoke. The Sioux had set fire
to the prairie to the south and
west of Inyan Kara Mountain.
On July 24, the expedition
reached what was for many, the
highlight of the Journey. Custer
and several others wrote in their
Journals about how impressed
they were with the place called
Floral Valley where they camped
on Cold Creek. It was noted that
the men could pick flowers of
every description without dis-
from their horses. Of
the more than 2,000 different
flowering plant to be found in
Wyoming. most of them can be
found in or near Floral Valley.
After Floral Valley, the expedition
crossed into the South Dakota
side of the Black Hills and ended
the Wyoming portion of the expe-
dition.
A diorama consisting of three
parts retraces the Custer Expedi"
tion and is on permanent display
at the Crook County Museum
and Art Gallery. Stop in and see
this exciting addition to the mu-
seum during the annual open
house on Friday. April 23, from
I-6 p.m. The museum doors will
remain open until 8 p.m. how-
ever, for those attending the Wyo-
mingArchaeologlcal Society Con-
ference. Artist Glsele Robinson

work on display and refreshments
will be served.
