Crook entered hostile territory in mid-June of 1876 with about 1,000 troops, supported by 300 Crow and Shoshone scouts, and encamped at Tongue River. A courier from Sitting Bull rode into camp with a message warning Crook not to cross a symbolic line scratched in the dirt, but, ignoring the ultimatum, Crook pushed on.

On 17 June, Crook's forces encountered 1,500 Sioux and Cheyenne warriors at Rosebud Creek. The ensuing six-hour battle left Crook in control of the battlefield, and he was able to claim a victory. In truth, the battle was actually a defeat for Crook. His troops had expended some 25,000 rounds of ammunition and killed just 13 of the enemy, while suffering 28 dead and 56 wounded.

Crook was forced to return to his base camp on Goose Creek, depriving Lt Col Custer of reinforcements, much needed eight days later at the Little Big Horn River.
