July 28, 1865 Battle of Fort Rice

As you would expect, Ojibway military commanders sent a force of their brave soldiers to attack Fort Rice, which was built by white invaders a year before Battle of Fort Rice was fought or in 1864. It was located near where Lewis and Clark wintered in what is now North Dakota, in 1804-1805. Bismarck, North Dakota is 22 miles to it's northwest. Battle of Fort Rice was a part of Mullan Road War. A list of Mullan Road War battles is above. On Friday July 28, 1865 a small 400 man Anishinabe military force, commenced to attack Fort Rice which was illegally on Anishinabe land. A battle which lasted 3 hours followed, in which white soldiers actually left Fort Rices safety, to fight Ojibway Soldiers. Since whites had superior weapons, they won this battle in which many brave Ojibway Soldiers blamed ogima Sitting Bull for their defeat. Many of them supposedly took out their frustrations on ogima Sitting Bull. He may have predicted an Anishinabe victory. Ojibway casulaties were 12 killed and an unknown number wounded. White casualties were 2 killed and another 3 wounded. After Fort Rice was built, it was converted into a Military Reservation then Indian Reservation that was eradicated after they closed Fort Rice. It was probably a part of Standing Rock Reservation of North Dakota and South Dakota.
