Dull Knife Battlefield

The Dull Knife Battlefield is located on the eastern slope of the Bighorn Mountains in Johnson County, Wyoming near Kaycee.

It was the scene of the Dull Knife Fight on November 25, 1876, in which the Fourth Cavalry under General Ranald S. Mackenzie raided the winter encampment of the NorthernCheyenne, destroying most of their material culture and all their winter supplies and thus forcing the Northern Cheyenne to seek shelter with the village of Crazy Horse in order to survive the winter.

The Dull Knife battlefield is on private land and is available to visit only by special arrangement.

The battlefield site was considered by the Cheyenne to be sufficiently remote to be safe as winter quarters.
