Letter from Chester L. Brooks to Dana Wright

Subject(s): Ammunition, Archaeological dating, Campaigns, Military, History--Research, Military campaigns, North Dakota

Historian Chester L. Brooks would like to examine the northeast corner of Flat Top Butte where he believes the skirmish took place and the spring is located. Some of the ammunition found at the site might be from a different skirmish during the retreat from the Little Bighorn. An examination of the ammunition could successfully date the site.
