On This Day

December 23

The 30-member Gordon Party arrived at French Creek near present-day Custer today in 1874. Four months earlier members of the Custer Expedition found gold in the small creek. A large influx of prospectors followed, though according to the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 they were in the Black Hills illegally. The Gordon Party stayed until the military evicted them in April 1875.
