Battle of Julesburg-- Part 3: Aftermath

After the battle, Union Brigadier General Robert Byington Mitchell gathered about 650 soldiers and set off after the Indians.  On January 19, he found their camp at Cherry Creek but they had already left it.  With bitterly cold weather and 50 of his soldiers incapacitated by frostbite, he called after the chase

The Indians, meanwhile, moved north to the Black Hills.  En route, they raided and looted ranches and even attacked Julesburg again.
