Concerns the campaigns against Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, commenting on the activities of generals Nelson A. Miles, George Crook, and Philip H. Sheridan. Last four pages of a document, numbered 50-53, possibly of an annual report. Crazy Horse surrendered in May of 1877, after 3 months of inactivity. The Winter expedition Sherman mentions, leaving Fort Letterman on 27 October, attacked Crazy Horse on 7 January 1877, making it likely that this report was written in the intervening months.
