Hello everyone,
Baker's command, consisting of four companies of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry and 55 men mounted from the 13th Infantry US Infantry, moved north of Fort Shaw on 19 January, in search of the Mountain Chief Piegan Band village. But that will be the camp of 32 Tepee of the Piegan leader Heavy Runner,which was considered peaceful that will suffer the fury of Major Eugene M. Baker …
United States Army, Major Eugene M. Baker, Commander.

Company H.
L Company, Captain Lewis Thompson.
13th Infantry Regiment of the United States
Detachment mounted, 55 men.
Upon learning of the raid, the Mountain Chief Band escaped from the Canadian border.
My question is who knows the strength of the four companies of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry that attack the camp of 32 Tepee of the Piegan leader Heavy Runner?
Thank you
