July 28, 1863 Battle of Stoney Lake


After Anishinabe Soldiers continued their defence of central and western North Dakota or after Battle of Dead Buffalo Lake ended, American Soldiers numbering near 3,000, supposedly continued their pursuit of fleeing Ojibway Soldiers. Battle of Stoney Lake was actually a part of Mullan Road War. A list of Mullan Road War battles is above. After Battle of Dead Buffalo Lake, an American officer in charge of those 3,000 American Soldiers named Brigadier General Henry Hastings Sibley, ordered his force to stop and rest a bit in order to allow their horses to regain their strength. On Tuesday July 28, 1863 he ordered his army to resume pursuit but Ojibway scouts were carefully observing their movements then alerted their military ogimak who then ordered their soldiers to attack their American enemy. American Soldiers formed a defensive line and after a short fight, Ojibway ogimak ordered their soldiers to continue their defensive strategy against their white enemy, in central and western North Dakota. After realizing a strong Ojibway military presence was now in their midst, American Soldiers were told to end their pursuit then turned east and left. Battle of Stoney Lake occurred in what is now Burleigh County, North Dakota. Bismarck is is located there.
