September 2, 1864 Battle of Red Buttes

After Fisk's Expedition or Fisk's Battle on August 23, 1864, Captain Fisk resumed his trek to Montana. However, Ojibway Soldiers followed and launched another assault on Fisk's Teamsters and his soldiers, on September 2, 1864. It forced them to corral their wagons then construct a temporary fort they named Fort Dilts. Ojibway Soldiers laid siege to Fort Dilts for over two weeks. Ojibway military commanders tired of their foes and sent a letter to Fort Dilts carrying a white flag signifying a truce. An agreement was reached. Ojibway Soldiers would be given much weapons and ammunition and exchange they would free a white captive and let Fisk's Teamnsters and soldiers leave. There were casualties in this battle yet it was more of a nuisance to Ojibway Soldiers. This battle was fought east of Marmarth, North Dakota in Bowman County, North Dakota. American leaders had to change their strategy. Instead of using southern Montana, they opted to use northern Montana. Fisk did prove teamsters could reach Fort Benton and continue on using Mullan Road. However, it would be dangerous, especially for Ojibway Soldiers who relied largely on bows and arrows. Those teamsters had repeating rifles and revolvers. After this battle, northern Montana was chosen to send supplies to southwest Montana.
