Description
In episode one, the Northern Cheyenne are escorted to the Darlington Reservation in Indian territory by way of Fort Dodge to Camp Supply, reaching the Cheyenne-Arapaho reservation on August 5, 1877. After reaching the reservation at Fort Reno, they were placed under the supervision of superintendent John Miles. The Northern Cheyenne noticed how poverty-stricken it was, and began to fall sick in the late summer of 1877. As a result, the Cheyenne chiefs started the organization to move north, and on September 9, 1878, Little Wolf, Dull Knife, Wild Hog, and Left Hand told their people to organize to leave. This episode ends with the Cheyenne ambushing the military at Turkey Springs and a special interview with Greg Heller on Frontier Forts.
