**********
Monday, April 27, 1874 (East Rosebud Creek): Sunrise was at 5:08 a.m. The men arose and began assembling the formation. Once again, Hugh Hoppe attempted to talk some of the men into heading south with him to the mystical gold fields, but by this time, most of the men could smell the barn at home and wanted to get back to Gallatin County. The Crows gathered in a large circle to smoke a medicine pipe. At 7:00 a.m. the wagon train started to roll. The country was dry and stony. The wagon train started to fragment, with ox team wagons in one group and mule teams in another. Sunset occurred at 7:16 p.m. Joe Cook recalled the experience with the Crows. “We soon came to the old Fort Fetterman and Fort Smith road. After we crossed the Big Horn River we fell in with the Crows, Black Foot being the chief of this band. We traveled with them until we came to their agency on the Little Rosebud. The Crows boast that they have always been friendly with the Whites.” (Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gold and Guns: The 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road and Prospecting Expedition and the Battle of Lodge Grass Creek)
