Battle of Palo Duro Canyon
The Battle of Palo Duro Canyon was a significant United States victory that brought about the end of the Red River War.〔Dillon, Richard H. (1983). ''North American Indian Wars''〕
==Background==
Late in the summer of 1874 the Quahada Comanche, Southern Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa warriors led by Lone Wolf had left their reservations and sought refuge in Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle.〔Carter, R.G., 1935, ''On the Border with Mackenzie'', Washington D.C.: Eynon Printing Co.〕 There they had been stockpiling food and supplies for the winter. Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie, leading the 4th U.S. Cavalry, departed Fort Clark, Texas, on 15 August, reached Fort Concho on the 21st and the mouth of Blanco Canyon on the 23rd with 8 companies plus 3 from the 10th Infantry and 1 from the 11th.〔 Mackenzie's orders from General Christopher C. Augur were stated he was "at liberty to follow the Indians wherever they go, even to the Agencies."〔 Mackenzie formed three columns, the first column consisting of 8 companies of the 4th Cavalry and 2 infantry companies, the second column under Lt. Col. Buell consisting of 5 companies of the 9th Cavalry, 1 from the 10th, and 2 infantry companies, while the third column under Lt. Col. Davidson consisting of 8 companies of the 10th Cavalry and two infantry companies.〔 The first column moved north along the edge of the Staked Plains, the second advanced up the Red River and the third from Fort Sill.〔 By the 25th September, Indians began to gather around Mackenzie's troops so that on the night of 26–27 September, they were attacked near Tule and Boehm's Canyon resulting in the deaths of 15 warriors, including the Kiowa Chief 'Woman Heart'.〔
