Horsemeat March
The Horsemeat March of 1876, also known as the Starvation March, was a military expedition led by General George Crook in pursuit of a band of Sioux fleeing General Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn. In September, after the battle of Slim Buttes, the Sioux burned the grass behind them, and the American cavalry traveled with reduced rations to allow faster pursuit. As a result, the cavalry had no food for men or horses, and the soldiers eventually had to shoot and eat their horses as they became lame or injured. The Horsemeat March ended in Deadwood, South Dakota. Many of the cavalrymen were said to have gone insane as a result of the march.
==Introduction==
The Horse Meat March was a grueling military campaign by the United States army during the summer of 1876. General George Crook, who commanded over one thousand cavalry and infantry soldiers together with numerous Native American scouts, led it. The March took place in the Black Hills of the Dakota territories. It came in the wake of the defeat of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, commanded by George Armstrong Custer at Little Big Horn, and preceded the culmination of the great Sioux War of 1876. Sometimes known as the “Mud March” because of the severe rains, and sometimes known as the “Starvation March” because of the lack of food and supplies, Crook’s campaign is most commonly labeled the “Horse Meat March” because of the particular food on which the troops subsisted.
