Bridger to Laurel, Montana

While most of the Nez Perce crossed the Yellowstone River near Laurel and headed north toward Canyon Creek, a couple of raiding parties followed the Yellowstone River to the small community of Coulson in present day Billings. They burned some buildings and haystacks, stole a few horses, killed two men, and hijacked a stagecoach. When Sturgis and his men crossed the river several hours later they could see the smoke in the distance.
