The most certain means of marching well in route, is to preserve always a regular and equal movement, and, if obstacles oblige one or more subdivisions to slacken or to shorten th6 step, to cause the primitive rate of march to be resumed the moment the difficulties are passed.

 Richard Irving Dodge, Colonel, United States Army
Colonel Dodge wrote his journals daily in the field, and in their variety, discursiveness, and detail they convey clearly the pleasure he took in what he said was "the most delightful summer of my life." Yet he used only a small fraction of what he recorded in his subsequent official communications and published works.
The Black Hills Journals of Colonel Richard Irving Dodge is by far the most detailed account yet available of the conflicting claims, interests, and populations that converged on the Black Hills during the key transitional period before the Great Sioux War of 1876.
Colonel Dodge's journals, written with utter candor for his eyes only, are the fullest firsthand account we possess of Gen. Crook's Powder River Expedition against the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, which culminated in Colonel Mackenzie's resounding destruction of Dull Knife's forces on November 25, 1876.
