The Wagon Box Fight was an engagement which occurred on August 2, 1867, in the vicinity of Fort Phil Kearny during Red Cloud's War. A party of twenty-six U.S. Army soldiers and six civilians were attacked by several hundred Lakota Sioux warriors. Although outnumbered, the soldiers were armed with newly supplied breech-loading Springfield Model 1866 rifles and lever-action Henry rifles, and had a defensive wall of wagon boxes to protect them. They held off the attackers for hours with few casualties, although they lost a large number of horses and mules driven off by the raiders.

  • Das Wagenburg-Gefecht (auch Wagon-Box-Schlacht) fand während des Red-Cloud-Kriegs statt. Am 2. August 1867, nordwestlich von Fort Phil Kearny, Wyoming, mussten sich unter Führung von 26 US-amerikanische Soldaten und 6 Zivilisten in einer Wagenburg aus 14 Wagen gegen mehrere Hundert Lakota-Krieger verteidigen. Kurz zuvor hatte sich das Fetterman-Gefecht ereignet. Im Unterschied zum vorangegangenen Gefecht konnten die Ureinwohner gegen die mit Springfield-Hinterlader-Gewehren bewaffneten Soldaten keinen Sieg erringen. Heute erinnert ein Monument an die Auseinandersetzung. (de)
  • Le combat de Wagon Box est un affrontement de la guerre de Red Cloud qui eut lieu le 2 août 1867 près de Fort Phil Kearny dans le Territoire du Wyoming. Un groupe composé d'une vingtaine de soldats de l'armée américaine et de bûcherons occupés à couper du bois à quelques kilomètres du fort a été attaqué par plusieurs centaines de guerriers sioux. Malgré leur infériorité numérique, les Américains sont parvenus à repousser plusieurs assauts amérindiens jusqu'à l'arrivée de troupes de Fort Phil Kearny. (fr)
  • La Battaglia dei cassoni dei carri (Wagon Box Fight) si svolse il 2 agosto 1867, nell’ambito di quella che gli storici chiamano la Guerra di Nuvola Rossa (1866-1868) combattuta per il controllo del territorio del Powder River. Un gruppo di 32 uomini, tra militari e civili, venne attaccato nei pressi di Fort Phil Kearny, in quello che allora era il Territorio del Wyoming, da diverse centinaia di guerrieri Oglala Lakota. Sebbene in inferiorità numerica, i soldati che erano dotati di nuovi fucili a retrocarica riuscirono a resistere all’attacco degli indiani fino all'arrivo dei rinforzi dal forte. Dopo la Battaglia di Fetterman, fu questo il secondo ed ultimo scontro di grande rilievo nella guerra combattuta dagli Oglala per difendere il loro territorio dalla penetrazione dei bianchi. (it)
