In the Crazy Mountains of Park County, Montana, severe damage to meadow grasses was inflicted by high numbers of Camnula pellucida and M. bruneri in 1954.
The evidence suggests that small numbers of the Bruner spurthroated grasshopper in a mountain meadow are beneficial as they feed principally on their preferred forbs, many of which are toxic to livestock, but that large numbers are destructive as they feed heavily on forage grasses and may devastate a meadow.
In 1956 a weedy meadow in the Crazy Mountains of Montana harbored a population estimated to have a density of 15 young adults per square yard.

 P 1715: Petrology of the Crazy Mountains Dike Swarm and Geochronology of Associated Sills, South-Central Montana
The Crazy Mountains dike swarm is a radial array associated with the Eocene (approximately 49 Ma) Big Timber stock in the Crazy Mountains of south-central Montana.
Dates for the sills, which are peripheral to the Crazy Mountains dike swarm, indicate that alkaline magmatism was temporally associated with subalkaline magmatism represented by the Big Timber stock and related dikes.
Characteristics of the subalkaline magmatism are consistent with renewed volcanic arc magmatism during the Eocene westward hingeline retreat and subsequent southwestward migration of the magmatic front in response to steepening subduction along the western edge of North America.

By 1876, he was part of a coordinated attack designed to drive the defiant Lakota bands gathered around Sitting Bull back onto their reservations.
In this campaign his troops were forced to retreat from Lakota and Cheyenne warriors led by Crazy Horse in a battle at Rosebud Creek, a defeat that denied reinforcements to George Armstrong Custer and may have contributed to his devastating loss at the Little Bighorn.
Finally, in 1886, Crook was relieved of command and saw his long-time rival, General Nelson A. Miles, bring an end to the long Apache war by exiling Geronimo and his band to Florida.
