Pine Ridge Campaign

Pine Ridge Campaign

The Pine Ridge Campaign (November, 1890–January, 1891) was the result of a number of unresolved grievances which led to the last major "conflict" with the Sioux, the Wounded Knee Massacre. A lopsided engagement that involved almost half the infantry and cavalry of the Regular Army caused the surviving warriors to lay down their arms and retreat to their reservations in January, 1891.
