On December 21, 1866, William J. Fetterman and his troop of 80 men pursued a small band of Sioux into an ambush. Fetterman ignored orders not to venture beyond Lodge Trail Ridge, out of sight and support distance from Wyoming's Fort Phil Kearney. The troop found themselves facing approximately 2000 Indians and the troop was wiped out within 20 minutes. This encounter became known as the Fetterman Massacre.
