An article about a study of the O'Fallon Creek Battle from the Billings Gazette.
The Battle of O'Fallon Creek was hardly more than a skirmish and is largely forgotten in the wake of other, more storied battles.
But the Frontier Heritage Alliance, a nonprofit organization that includes both Montana and Wyoming, hopes to rescue it from obscurity.
The alliance recently received a $55,800 grant from the National Park Service's American Battlefields Protection Program to study the battle, document it, map it and even do a little archaeology.
