    clash November 27, 1868. The 7,680 acre battlefield park was established
    in 1996 and is administered by the NPS.  The Cheyenne village was attacked by
    the  7th Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer. The strike was considered
    a victory by the military and many civilians who suffered from Indian raids on frontier
    settlements. The site is located near the border with Texas in west-central Oklahoma.
    The leader of the Cheyenne was Chief Black Kettle. There is a 315 acre memorial
    associated with the 1868 Battle of the Washita River.
