In 1866, danger haunted every mile of the Bozeman Trail. Red Cloud and his Sioux warriors were at war, defending their homeland against broken treaties and encroaching forts. 

Soldiers rode under constant threat, their lives hanging by a thread in the lonely stretches between outposts.

Into this peril walked Private Dave Duck, carrying an urgent dispatch through hostile country. Yet, when he reached Fort C. F. Smith, the men there met him not with relief but with disbelief.

That was because Dave Duck had already been buried.

Join us along the Bozeman Trail, where the Red Cloud War rages... and the dead sometimes walk beside the living.

This ride down Dead Man’s Trail is brought to you by Rooted in Legacy — helping you capture your own stories before they fade like dust on the Wyoming wind. Learn more at https://legendrockmedia.com
