Camp at Dry Creek

General Howard and his men crossed the Continental Divide at Monida Pass and made their way to Junction Station, where Captain James E. Calloway and 55 Montana volunteers armed with a mountain howitzer joined them. After the arrival of Captain Randolph Norwood?s Second Cavalry on August 18, General Howard?s forces moved on. They rested that night at Dry Creek Station just 18 miles west of the Nez Perce camp. On Sunday, August 19, the command started east and shortly thereafter came upon the trampled trail of the Nez Perce.
