A column of cavalry, artillery, and wagons, commanded by Gen. George A. Custer, crosses the plains of Dakota Territory, during the 1874 Black Hills Expedition. His orders were to explore the previously uncharted Black Hills of South Dakota, recommend locations for forts, find a route to the southwest, and investigate the possibility of gold mining.
