Wild West Podcast proudly presents The Battle of Beecher Island, Part II. (You can purchase the book Trails, Forts Treaties, and Indian Wars now on sale for a limited time at Amazon.com.)  In part two of the Battle of Beecher Island, Jack Stilwell tells the story of how Roman Nose leads the second attack against a small force of military scouts at the Arickaree fork of the Republican River. The mission was under the command of Major Forsyth, who received information that Indians had attacked a freighter's train 13 miles east of Ft. Wallace, near the railhead of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The mission was to counter the Indian attack by trailing and punishing the raiding Party.
