These were uneventful days, used more for posturing, moving, and getting things in order. Reno was on the move in one direction, everyone else was moving in another.
What must have been going through their minds?
Oh, and by the way, what is happening with the elusive foe?

Distances suggest no trouble from pack-train.

Bray:
"The war chief was relieved, late on the eleventh, when the word he wanted arrived: that morning Crook's command had turned around and started south, as if withdrawing from the hunting grounds. When day rose bright and cloudless on June 12, the heralds ordered another move. Satisfied that Crook was neutralized, the villagers continued upstream twelve miles."
"In the days following the Sun Dance, the first arrivals from teh Missouri River agencies began to trickle in. Crazy Horse asked closely about soldiers from the east, but the new arrivals could do little more than confirm reports of troop aggregation at Fort Abraham Lincoln. Still no news of the dust storm of soldiers Sitting Bull had predicted."
