The Battle of Summit Springs (July 11, 1869) was an armed conflict between elements of the United States Army under the command of Colonel Eugene Carr and a group of Cheyenne Dog Soldiers led by Tall Bull, who died during the engagement (reportedly killed by Buffalo Bill Cody). The battle, a response to a series of brutal Indian raids in north-central Kansas, was fought near Sterling, Colorado. 52 Indians were reported killed and 17 captured, with only one U.S. soldier wounded during the fighting. The U.S. victory was said to have "...broke[n] for all time the power of the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers on the central Plains."
